Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiades 2

Overlord: Ple Ple Pleiades 2 is a series of original net animation shorts released in 2018 as a companion to the third season of the Overlord anime. Produced by Studio PuYUKAI, the series employs a super-deformed, chibi art style directed by Minoru Ashina, who is known for his work on similar spin-offs of popular isekai franchises. The shorts were designed to provide lighthearted relief from the darker, high-stakes narrative of the main series, focusing on the daily lives and misadventures of the Pleiades combat maids.

The animation features character designs that intentionally contrast with the detailed, serious aesthetic of the primary Overlord series, emphasizing comedic timing and expressive, simplified visuals. As a supplement intended for fans of the source material, the series was received as a humorous expansion of the world-building, offering a satirical look at the loyalty and idiosyncrasies of Nazarick’s residents.
