About Overlord

In the year 2138, virtual reality gaming is booming. Yggdrasil, a popular online game is quietly shut down one day. However, one player named 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.

Our take on Overlord

This isekai anime traps a player inside his favourite game as his all-powerful skeletal overlord avatar after the servers shut down, and watches him build an empire in a strange new world. Dark, grandiose and gleefully villainous, it flips the genre's hero fantasy. If its power-fantasy scheming and dark humour hooked you, seek out isekai anime about overpowered protagonists conquering worlds on their own terms.
