The King Is Undead, Long Live The King. With some trepidation, I went into Overlord IV, the fourth season of a show that seems all too happy to kill off its main side cast (I.E. non-Nazarikians) through various means. And will this show keep this proud tradition alive (full ironic pun intended)? I don't want to spoil anything, but... yes. Yes, it does. And that's that. Next week, we'll have another follow-up season to a great show. One I hope I'll get to watch the second season to one day. Probably won't be as early as next week, though, but we'll see you by then anyway. -Stig Høgset.
