Thanks for the review. I've been rewatching the series recently (just finished season 4 episode 7 last night funny enough), so looking forward to when this comes to streaming and when I can add this to my shelf. I wouldn't mind an expanded TV version while we wait for the (presumably) final season to be announced once the (apparently) final volumes (17 & 18) have been released.

So long as the first third of runtime isn't entirelt devoted to a recap of the series.

That Goblin Slayer movie still irks me.

CZ2128 Delta finally gets her time in the spotlight. A careful study of the light novels and derivate manga and anime series shows the author Maruyama Kugane giving all of the main-cast secondary Nazarick characters extended action/combat scenes, with only CZ2128 Delta, Mari and Yuri Alpha left out until now.

Mare got his big fight in LN16.

I was treating that info as a semi-spoiler since the last two LNs are set after the anime series, this film and the manga which is where most folks will get their Overlord fix. It's notable that Ainz Ooal Gown himself usually gets at least one big fight scene per volume, sometimes when he's cosplaying as Momon.

This was fun, but CZ definitely stole the movie once she appeared.

I normally would have waited for this to stream but when I saw it was also getting IMAX screenings, I couldn't resist. Even though it officially opens tomorrow, there were plenty of showings tonight in NYC anyway.

Though, I really was surprised at how wide a release this is getting both sub and dub in the US and Canada, considering that except for a very brief written introduction to the to the background of the story at the very beginning, there is zero time spent on recapping. Which is absolutely a good thing for people who have watched the TV series, but conversely people who have never watched the TV series will probably not enjoy it as much.
