Kadokawa originally announced the anime on April 1 as an April Fool's joke, listing a TV debut date of "April 2138." The story revolves around the protagonists of the two series swapping places.

The original teaser visual depicts Overlord protagonist Ainz posing flamboyantly and Eminence in Shadow's Cid watching in exasperation. The caption translates as follows: "The masters have swapped places?! Except there doesn't seem to be a problem?!" The visual also depicts the characters in Isekai Quartet crossover anime series. The title references the series' respective super-deformed spin-off anime shorts.

The two series have previously inspired a crossover visual, no doubt because they share strong commonalities in their premises: both are based on popular light novels about a guy in a fantasy world playing the part of an edgy character. In Overlord's case, Ainz knows he's putting on an act, while Eminence in Shadow's Cid has delusions of grandeur.

franchise will also have an anime film project that will cover the Sei Ōkoku-hen (Holy Kingdom Arc) story of the books.

The streaming a same-day English dub.
