Crunchyroll Returns to NYCC with Panels and Trailers

Attendees are invited to swing by a handful of panels and learn everything there is to know about the company’s past, present, and future. To celebrate the announcement, Crunchyroll is debuting a trailer for the upcoming feature-length film, Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom. The title doesn’t arrive in U.S. theaters until November 8, but those who head over to Director Naoyuki Ito and Madhouse studio Producer Kentaro Hashimoto’s panel will get a behind-the-scenes peek of the next chapter in the Overlord series.

The Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Trailer

The Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom trailer invites audiences to pick up where they left off with the beloved on-screen anime adaptation of Kugane Maruyama’s beloved novel series following its fourth season. The vibrant fantasy series will continue the story of Momonga who, after years of playing his favorite video game, logs in one more time only to wind up trapped inside the game indefinitely. One adventure at a time, Momonga’s avatar eventually reaches the title of Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown. The Sacred Kingdom will follow along with Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown as he lobbies a group of both the living and the dead to bring down the Demon Emperor, whose arrival foreshadows a grim fate for them all.
