Manga Entertainment is releasing a Blu-ray/DVD combo edition of Overlord II on Monday January 25, exclusively sold through the Zavvi website. It includes three art cards, a fabric poster and a 40-page book.
The first 13-episode Overlord television anime series premiered in Japan in July 2015. The novels and anime's story takes place in the year 2138 when virtual reality gaming is booming. Yggdrasil, a popular online game, is quietly shut down one day. However, the protagonist Momonga decides to not log out.
Momonga is then transformed into the image of a skeleton as "the most powerful wizard." The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.
