CATDOLL: The light novel adaptation animation "OVERLORD" is confirmed to start broadcasting in July

The TV animation "OVERLORD", adapted from the light novel of the same name written by Maruyama Kugane, opened its official website today and is confirmed to be officially broadcast this summer. At the same time, the main production team and character voice actors of the TV animation have also been released. The supervisor is Naoki Ito, who has directed the OVA "Irino no Sora, UFO no Nakadashi" and was the director of the "Digimon Saviors" series. The series composition and script are handled by Yukie Sugawara, who was once the director of the "Sword Art Online" series. The character design and general animation supervision is handled by Takahiro Yoshimatsu, and the animation is created by MADHOUSE, a production company that has produced "No Game No Life" and "The Irregular at Magic High School". In addition, the visual image of the animation is also released on the official website.

The original work of "OVERLORD" is divided into two versions: the web version and the novel version published by enterbrain. The world view of the two versions is the same, but the story is very different. The illustrations of the novel version are drawn by so-bin. The single volume has been released in 8 volumes so far, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 400,000 copies. The work mainly tells the story of a day when a VRMMORPG "YGGDRASIL" that has set off a big boom will stop all services, but even after the end time, players will not exit the game, and NPCs have their own thoughts. The protagonist Suzuki Satoru (real name), who loves video games in the real world, accidentally traveled to a different world with the members of the "Ainz Ultron" guild while waiting for the system to force log out, and he also became the strongest magician with a skeleton appearance-"Flying Squirrel". In this way, the real fantasy legend officially kicked off.
