Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom

Momonga is back, good movie 10/10.

Good graphics and sound, you must have seen the anime to understand it.

This arc is spectacular, it's good to finally see Neia and her eyes and the princess just as she does in the book (no spoilers :P) This arc is spectacular, it's good to finally see Neia and her eyes and the princess just as she does in the book (no spoilers :P) This arc is spectacular, it's good to finally see Neia and her eyes and the princess just as she does in the book (no spoilers :P) This arc is spectacular, it's good to finally see Neia and her eyes and the princess just as she does in the book (no spoilers :P)

The movie felt very rushed, whoever the director is did not know what important parts are in the story to keep. As someone that read the novel, they cut out way too many important parts there are essential to connecting the new characters to the audiences. This should had been either a 2 part movie or just left it as a season for the TV show.

Skipping the build up of the new religion of the sacred kingdom is also a build choice, since its an important part of the arc and for other events in the overall story in the arc that follows.

If this is not Overlord I would not have given it an 8, because the company's choice to rush this and their bad choice of director has ruined the best arc in the whole of Overlord.

I am a huge Overlord fan, and The Sacred Kingdom is a movie that I very much enjoyed watching. The movie's pacing of the story is quick and leaves out much of the Light Novels original source material, but is still effective in telling the story involving the Sacred Kingdom. The new characters introduced, Neia and Remedios, are both well written characters directly adapted from the Light Novel, and each have their own unique charm and characterization. Ainz himself is also great in the movie, as he always is, and continues to dominate as being the strongest. The visuals and animation used in the movie are also incredible while being accompanied by an amazing soundtrack, effectively capturing the grandeur and spectacle of the fights and setting. One critique I have for the movie is that the fights are way too short, and that I would've loved to have seen more action up close instead of the panned-out camera shots used during the fight scenes. Overall, the movie was very good and was well worth watching twice.

I love the overlord series. It is fun and the plot is intriguing. The DND references and the overall characters in the series are just quite amazing for a fan of RPG games like myself. I watched the anime series and did some revisit from time to time. That might be the reason because for me, compared to the anime series, the movies have to leave out a lot of scenes just to make it to the runtime and it kind of ruins the overall vibe you would get from it and the sequences of the plot. I know it would be quite demanding for the editors to put all of the scenes and even though they did have to leave out a lot, the movie is still fun to watch with a lot of action going on. It is just that for me, I did not get the vibe I usually get whenever I watched the series and I kind of hoped that they could have done it somehow. Overall, it is an appetizer before the main dish of season 5 comes out.

When a demon and his army of demihumans attack the Sacred Kingdom, the humans have no choice but to turn to the Sorcerer King for help. As they battle their way back in hopes of securing the Sacred Kingdom, the humans must come to terms with the morality and ethics of war. The Sorcerer King seems benevolent, but more is happening than meets the eye.

This is another anime movie in place of a season for the series. Prior knowledge of the series is required to understand and appreciate it, but it can be watched without it. With the previous knowledge, the two-hour and fifteen-minute runtime may feel shorter; without it, the movie drags a bit. Fans of the series will enjoy it; others might be inspired to watch it to appreciate it truly.
