Overlord isn’t exactly what one would call a mainstream anime. Although it has a fair number of viewers, you can’t really say that it “took off” in the way that other major shounen and isekai anime have in the past. I’d heard several mentions of Overlord in the community over the years, especially after the release of the sequel to Isekai Quartet. Deciding that I wanted to watch all the anime that the characters in Isekai Quartet came from was probably the dominating factor that led me to watch Overlord, and I was pleasantly surprised when I did come to watch it. Its plot progression isn’t great, but it did pretty well overall. Overlord originally came out in 2015 and was produced by Madhouse, the legendary studio behind Hunter x Hunter (2011), Death Note, One Punch Man, and a lot of other anime ingrained in the public mind. The show currently has an 8.02 out of 10 on MyAnimeList which, while a fair score, may not represent the totality of Overlord’s situation.
