It’s official,Netflixis pulling the plug on one of its greatest isekai anime included in its lineup. The streaming juggernaut has made a name for itself alongsidewell-known services like Crunchyrollin providing a fair assortment of anime to a more mainstream audience. Thanks to its dive into this new world, Netflix has seen great success by promotingDandadan,Delicious in Dungeon, and other great titles.
Overlordis an interesting take on the genre, whereas instead of being transmigrated to another world due to the ever-elusive Trunk-kun, a player who has been faithfully part of a game named YGGDRASIL decides to remain on the servers up until the moment it’s ready to shut down. However, Momonga is not logged out of the game. Instead, the guild has transferred itself into a new reality, with the NPCs coming to life and continuing their daily routines.
Netflix Will Be Removing Overlord From Its Anime Catalogue
Saying Goodbye to a Highly Respected Isekai
Netflix will be takingOverlorddown from its streaming service on May 30, 2025, primarily for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other affected regions. It’s not just one or two seasons either. The bulk of the isekai anime, which includes approximately 52 episodes over four seasons, will no longer be accessible to watch or download for offline viewing.
For streaming services like Netflix, they are limited by the contracts they sign with studios and companies to obtain the license and essentially rent out that TV show for an allotted amount of time. Sooner or later,Overlord’scontract was going to expire. But this does remain one of the major drawbacks for watching shows on Netflix, as titles often come and go, without notification to viewers who have remained avid fans and dutiful customers.
Overlord Can Still Be Accessed On Other Services
However, Later Seasons Are Locked Behind Subscription Services or Not Offered At All
While it’s great that anime as a growing genre is able to take over streaming sites that cater to a much more generalized zeitgeist, Netflix is still laggingbehind in the anime goldmineby only featuring these titles for a short duration.Overlordfans best catch up on the anime quickly or get in one more watch before the isekai is removed from the lineup.
