The fourth season of overlord production is confirmed: all you want to know are here

Hello everyone, I am V sauce (small encyclopedia). On May 8th, the official overlord officially announced two pieces of information, one is that the fourth season of overlord has been announced for production, and the other is that the Holy Kingdom chapter will be completed. Theatrical version, people who know UP Lord me should know, V sauce I have been explaining overlord's novels, so today we will talk about the fourth season animation and the theater version.

The plot was "castrated"

From the current news Look, the content of the fourth season animation includes the tenth and eleventh volumes of the novel. The difference is that in the past, the progress of the animation in the first season of Guaotian was the content of about 3 volumes of the novel, , so this time the fourth season can be said to be based on the progress. It will be slower, but this is also a good thing

Because according to the previous three seasons, basically one episode is the story content of one chapter, so the story content is almost "castrated" by one-third to half of the story. , although I can understand it, but it is definitely a little bit worse than the novel, can now make two volumes of content into a season of animation, the content will definitely be refined a lot

and the production team on May 8 also said that the fourth Some original stories will be added to the season TV animation. Although it is not stated whether it has been authorized by the author Maruyama, but according to the production team or "Media Factory", the original story content must have been approved by Maruyama, so Maybe there will be some plots that can supplement the novels.

Story content

What kind of story content will the fourth season be about? Here, V sauce will make a summary. The content of the tenth and eleventh volumes is also quite exciting.The content of the tenth volume of the wonderful stories can be divided into: The daily life of the Bone King in Yelantir, Albedo on his mission to the kingdom and being molested by the "fool" nobles, and the fall of the empire

Among them, the fall of the empire is particularly exciting. Because the blood emperor directly drove himself to a dead end with the thinking of "excessive brain supplementation", he chose to surrender to the bone king, and in the tenth volume there is also the battle between the bone king and the empire's strongest warrior, the martial king, , which is also a very exciting

The story of the eleventh volume revolves around the dwarf kingdom chapter, , but this chapter is a little too bland compared to other previous chapters , but there are often plots

For example, the bone king uses 10 magic to summon the overnight dormitory , Shalltear singled out 60,000 kuagoa, Aura first used world-class props "Map of Mountains and Rivers", etc. , so it is also worth watching when

will be released?

It is estimated that most fans are most concerned about the issue of the release time. In fact, the production of Japanese animation is very time-consuming, and it is not faster than domestic 3D animation at all. According to the legend of bloggers, a production team of animation needs to produce one episode. About 3 months, and the rich and wealthy IP of bloggers is generally 6 production teams to start work at the same time

However, the investment of "Media Factory" in the first three seasons of overlord is obviously very "poor", and it is completely impossible to share with bloggers. In comparison, if the progress is calculated based on the minimum allocation of 3 to 4 production teams that start work at the same time, plus the promotion time, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the third quarter of next year to see why

Holy Kingdom has become a theatrical version?

In fact, many people are wondering why they want to make a theatrical version? In fact, this is a good thing for overlord fans, because the plot of the Holy Kingdom will be a bit difficult to judge visually in the mainland, unless it is deleted beyond recognition, If the Holy Kingdom is included in the plot of the fourth season, then the possibility of domestic platforms wanting to buy it and successfully pass the review is relatively small 100 minutes is 5 episodes, but the twelfth volume generally only has 3 episodes, so there is no doubt that the Holy Kingdom theatrical version must have "slow down" the content of the story a lot. Although the progress is slow, it should be able to greatly improve Restore the plot of the novel, but if you want to see it in China, you have to see
