OVERLORD | Get Hyped for Season 2

 

            2017 is surely a great year for all the Otaku out there. A lot of sequels of our favorite anime are coming up. New seasons of Shingeki no Kyojin, Tokyo Ghoul and Boku No Hero Academia has been released recently. And who’s excited for the second season of One Punch Man? We all are. We all want to see Saitama and Genos back in action. And remember when Director Goro Taniguchi announced that the Code Geass would receive a third season? Everyone can’t stop talking about it.

            And when I was going over my Facebook yesterday, I saw this:

            I checked on the latest chapter of Overlord right away on my Manga Rock app and there it is, the announcement for its second season! I have been waiting and anticipating for a second season and finally, the long wait is almost over. The second season is no longer a rumor, it came out to be true.

In the year 2138, virtual reality gaming is booming. YGGDRASIL, a popular online game which is quietly shut down one day. However, one player named Momonga decides not to log out. As the game shuts down, Momonga is then transformed into his avatar, a skeleton wizard and becomes "the most powerful magic caster in the world." As the world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion. Momonga decides on his course of action: Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man, Momonga decides to conquer the new world the game has become. - overlordmaruyama.wikia.com

            And yes, Overlord has almost the same concept as Sword Art Online and Log Horizon. But what I like about it is that Momonga/Lord Ainz is not at all a good guy. He can be merciless as he uses and kills humans with no hesitation as long as it benefits Nazarick or himself. He’s cautious and always try to plan ahead to avoid any situation that can endanger the people of Nazarick.

            I have checked the internet about this but little to no details has been given until now. However, we should be expecting the sequel relatively soon. I hope that Studio Madhouse or the official Overlord Twitter account will release an update about the release of the new season.
