Overlord: The Dark Hero

Stream Overlord: The Dark Hero (2017) online on iFILM — the second theatrical compilation from Madhouse's Overlord anime, covering episodes 8 through 13 of season one. Satoshi Hino returns as the voice of Ainz Ooal Gown, the skeletal overlord at the center of it all.

The premise: the MMORPG Yggdrasil goes offline, but the server stays live. The player inside finds himself locked in his own character — a lich, master of one of the game's darkest guilds. The NPCs around him have started to think and feel. The world is real. He is its most powerful being.

The isekai formula is flipped here: Ainz doesn't struggle to survive, he already dominates. The question driving the story is what a person — or whatever he is now — does with total power. Stream Overlord: The Dark Hero online on iFILM.
