[Video] ‘Over Lord’ TV Anime Begins Summer 2015

First PV released for summer 2015 anime Over Lord; official site also opens

It has been confirmed that Kugane Maruyama’s novel Over Lord is getting a summer 2015 TV anime adaptation. The official site has also already opened.

Information has begun being released on the anime. First, a PV and teaser visual have been released, and the main staff has been revealed as well.

The first PV shows characters pledging their allegiance to Momonga, a powerful magician with a skeleton form. The anime has an apt sense of scale for being called a dark fantasy and it seems there will be a dense world to enjoy.

The teaser visual also shows a stylish design and is enough to raise anticipation for the summer broadcast premiere date.

The staff lineup is wonderful from all sides. Directing is Naoyuki Ito ( DokiDoki! PreCure the Movie: Mana's Getting Married!!? The Dress of Hope Tied to the Future). In charge of series composition and scripts is Yukie Sugawara, who also created the scripts for Sword Art Online, The Irregular at Magic High School, and other series. The character designer is Takahiro Yoshimatsu who has worked on countless famous series including Hunter x Hunter (Nippon TV edition) and even publishes manga under the pen name Something Yoshimatsu. Madhouse is producing the animation.

Over Lord by Kugane Maruyama began serialization on the web in 2010. It was then released in book form by Enterbrain in 2012 and has become a smash hit novel series.

A stage event for the anime was held at AnimeJapan 2015. On stage were Satoshi Hino (voice of Momonga), Yumi Hara (Albedo), Sumire Uesaka (Shalltear Bloodfallen), Emiri Kato (Aura Bella Fiore), and Yumi Uchiyama (Mare Bello Fiore). Keep a lookout for more information to come.
