Overlord is one of the popular isekai anime based on VRMMO game, and with the perfect blend of action, humor, and another world concept, it never disappointed us. But watching it can be tricky sometimes since it has movies in addition to seasonal episodes.
So, to make your efforts easier, we’ve compiled an Overlord anime watch order guide for you. From the questions on how to watch Overlord anime to what to skip in it, you can find everything in our post.
Overlord Watch Order!
You might’ve heard people say watch OVA episodes, specials, and all. Well, you can skip most of them, and here we’ll show you the most relevant order for you to enjoy watching this epic anime.
1. Overlord Season 1
Isn’t it obvious that you need to watch an anime with the first season? Well, it is the same with the Overlord, and it consists of 13 episodes and ran from July 7, 2015, to Sep 29, 2015.
So, once you’ve made up your mind to watch this anime, make sure to follow our Overlord watch order guide and start with the first season.
2. Overlord Season 2
Right when you finish watching the first season, you can jump on to the second one. Two movies can be watched after the first season, but they’re just recaps.
So, instead of delaying your enjoyment by watching the movies, you can jump right into the second season of the anime.
3. Overlord Season 3
Finally, you’re going to dive into a more action-packed journey with the third season. Once you’re done with the second season, you can watch the third one.
Movies:
There are a couple of movies in the series you can try watching if you want. But we don’t really recommend it since they’re just recaps of the first season. Anyway, here are two movies:
- Overlord: The Undead King
- Overlord: Dark Warrior
Spin-offs (Non-Relevant)
In the above introduction, we said we would provide you a relevant watch order without any unnecessary ones. However, these spin-offs are funny, and we recommend you watch them if you can.
- Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiades (8 Episodes with 3 min runtime)
- Overlord OVA (1 Episode with 30 min runtime)
- Overlord Movie: Ple Ple Pleiads (2 Episodes)
- Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiads 2 (13 Episodes with 1 min and 30 seconds runtime)

A Quick Review on Overlord Anime!
I won’t say that Overlord is the best anime out there, but for what it has to offer to the audience, I think it did a pretty good job. Also, it is not meant for everyone.
Some people find it boring, and other people call it one epic adventure. Well, I belong to the latter half of the audience, and in my opinion, you should give this anime a shot.
