Overlord III
Best Anime of July 2018
Recent years have seen a wealth of different anime that all take place inside an online game. This includes Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, and, of course, Overlord. Overlord tells the story of Momonga, a veteran player in the Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, Yggdrasil. As the MMO is scheduled to be shut down, Momonga refuses to log out, and strangely NPCs begin to develop personalities and minds of their own. Momonga is trapped within a reality created by the game and he’s unable to use his player functions, so he decides to set out and see if there’s anyone else from the real world trapped in Yggdrasil.
The third season of Overlord picks up right where the second season left off, and it looks to be continuing the trend of Momonga being a completely overpowered hero. The first episode of Overlord III is set to premiere on July 10, and you can catch the show on Crunchyroll. A Simuldub is planned for Funimation, but there isn’t a date on when it may start as of yet.
