Fans are in frenzy rage about the thought of not seeing "Overlord" Season 2; however, speculations points out that the second season of the anime series will be happening, so fans can now relax and breathe. Rumors have it that the popular anime series will be released within Q2 2016.
The first season of the hit anime series, based on a Japanese light novel of the same title that written by Kugane Maruyama, ran for 13 episodes that aired from July 7 to Sept. 29, 2015, which covers volume 1 - volume 3 of the light novel counterpart.
The Madhouse adaptation of the light novel was a success, which was rated by anime viewers 8.12 out of 10. Even though European and American distributors were not too interested to distribute "Overlord," with it only being broadcasted on two online sources such J-One and Anime Digital Network, the manga-turned-anime series took Japan by storm and was premiered to all major TV channels.
No firm news yet about "Overlord" Season 2 air date or renewal; however, no announcement either of any "Overlord" cancellation. According to Anime news list, if "Overlord" Season 1 goes well and will have satisfactory ratings on its light novel and streaming websites such J-One and Anime Digital Network, then "Overlord" Season 2 will likely happen on Spring 2016.
However, fans are being skeptic over "Overlord's" renewal, as even Reddit forums' comments points out that the chances of "Overlord" being renewed are slim due to Madhouse's tradition of rarely renewing its animes' after Season 1.
Good thing is that some fans are still positive that "Overlord" anime series will get its well-deserved season 2. The ending of the first season has every clue that a next chapter will indeed come out; however, some says that the clues left in "Overlord" season 1 episode 13 was only to generate hype to its manga counterpart. Some took it positively as the light novel's goal is to reach 8k to 11k sales, which means that once they have sold over 8k copies (which they did reach their goal), chances of seeing "Overlord" Season 2 will be high. Besides, there is enough source material to create the second season's story.
Since the novel sales are doing pretty good, "Overlord" Season 2 might get aired on Spring 2016, covering the light novel's volume 4 to volume 6.
