The story of Overlord is one that most gamers can relate to, so if you game, especially RPG, this is the anime for you.
The Story
Our story begins when the popular virtual reality game Yggdrasil, a RPG fantasy style game is shutdown. The stories protagonist, Momonga, decides to stick around until the very last moment when the server kicks him off-line. Momonga reminses about his guild and their glory days on the game as the final seconds tick on the clock. Then, it happens. The clock strikes 0 and the game is officially offline, but something isn't right. When Momonga has had his fill of nostalgia and attempts to log out he becomes are that something has gone wrong. He is unable to log out of the game. Furthermore, the NPC characters, which inhabit the guild's hideout suddenly seem...life like.The world of Yggdrasil has come alive, or Momonga has joined this new virtual world. Either way, Momonga isn't by this turn of events. Instead he gathers he thoughts and decides that he will do two things: become the ruler of this world, and find out what is behind this power that keeps him trapped here.
Knights, Monsters, Wizards, Fairies, Witches, Vampires and Trolls, it all seems possible in the RPG virtual worl that's come to life, and it's new Overlord...well, he hasn't quite landed on a name yet, it might be Ains, but one thing is for sure, the man in the amour is, the Overlord.
Our Thoughts
This is anime done right. This is anime about gaming done right. Honestly there wasn't a single episode or moment of this show that didn't entice me, and leave me wanting more. From the way spells are cast, to the carnage of battle, to the awesomely hilarious script. This is just good. Really looking forward to the new season. We'll keep you posted on dates for the first episode and our review of the new season. MMG is not just a gaming entity, but a company that promotes gaming culture, art and music.

Yeah me too. I am excited on this new season. I just read the manga and after reading it. I really want MOAR!!!!
MMORPG types should be in Anime because I am missing the awesome effects and the skills that they are casting. Nevertheless we already waited for more than 2 years for this baby and I really can't wait
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
me and you both. Can't wait for this season!
Me three!! Overlord was particularly refreshing for me in the sense that we have a gamer who is not another pretty boy with OP skills. Ahem~
You might also want to try Skeleton Knight in Another World manga. It has almost the same concept. OP skilled gamer and not a pretty boy character :p
Saved to MAL! Thanks for the suggestion XD~
No problemo mi amigo :)
Been a huge fan of Overlord...
Manga with an OP MC are the best...I think this is the best RPG style anime, runner-ups = Dan machi, SOA, Accel World, Log Horizon...in that order xD
Sneaky Ninja Attack!!
