The film is produced by Studio Madhouse, a Japanese animation studio behind shows and movies like Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Parasyte: The Maxim, and Death Note. So it’s fair to say the hype is pretty big for this one, especially after the first trailer showed fan-favorite character Demiurge wearing an intriguing mask outside of the Holy Kingdom.

There’s no word yet on a release date over here, but Crunchyroll does have the first four seasons of the series available. This follows a veteran player of a MMORPG game who refuses to log off when he finds out it’s being shut down. Instead, he enters the game, deciding to become its new overlord.
