I'm as excited for the OP and ED as I am the actual anime, the track record for these tracks has been stellar to say the least I expect the trend to continue some some real bangers.

i'm happy that i will get to se The Pope Neia,but i feel like the adaptation of these 4 vols will probably worse than previous vols,especially for holy kingdom arc which is like longest arc,just 2 hours long movie is probably not enough
also,vol 10 n 11 aren't really that interesting to hype compare to previous vols,dwarf arc is pretty boring

Season 3 was a bit disappointed (maybe the LN too) because momonga went full evil this time.
Yeah, he lost his "feelings" but still he is a Human inside who knows whats wrong, whats not, has the knowledge of his old modern world to handle things differently .. but still he went full npc evil at the end just for the statement.

Man, finally! I've been waiting for the 4th season to come out for sooo long! This is some sweet news... Finally I'll see ainz in action!

This shitshow still continues? Wow, just wow!

Not surprised concerning the Demon Slayer route of going films with dedicated arcs as its source adaptation.

But a Season 4? Madhouse better buck up for the atrocity that is Season 3 ever since losing staff to other studios like MAPPA.

Hope we get a new YS and Konosuba too.

The movie being called the Holy Kingdom Arc makes it seem like it'll cover volumes 12-13. That would mean that the fourth season will cover volumes 10-11. Would the TV season and movie really cover the same amount of volumes? Especially since Overlord has always been fitting third volumes in every 13 episode season. And a movie can't cover two volumes worth of content, without making the pacing even worse than it already is (unless we're getting a 3 hour movie, which I highly doubt).

I think the fourth season will cover volumes volumes 10-12 and the movie will cover only volume 13. The fourth season will need to end in the middle of an arc and the movie would just be the second-half of said arc, but it will be better for the overall pacing of the series.

i would say its better to get 2 good pacing and trash pacing, rather then 2 bad pacing and one good pacing
