The plot of Overlord Holy Kingdom Movie
The story revolves around the generic plot of getting transported inside the game with the same overpowered character. However, the attention to detail makes this series amazing.
A popular VRMMO game, Yggdrasil is about to shut down in a couple of hours. And Suzuki Satoru spends the last moments admiring all that he accomplished.
He falls asleep before the countdown finishes and wakes up to find himself inside his in-game avatar with all the magical equipment.
After confronting the situation and meeting up with his servants, Satoru devises a plan to investigate the magical world to find others like him.
However, his problems are only just beginning when Slane Theocracy brain washed one of his guardians. Ainz Ooal Gown set his sights on world domination after some heartfelt discussion with his beloved guardians.
In short, we can have high expectation from this upcoming dark fantasy anime film.
