Here is what I am trying to replace:
category=>^Overlord (MADHOUSE Anime).*$=>Overlord - Maruyama Kugane

replace_metadata uses regular expressions which use () as grouping characters. To use them for actual () chars, you need to escape them with \.

Here's an example from my own personal.ini:

add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>Collision Course \(prev: SotL: Secretly Awesome\)=>Collision Course

If you want to learn more about regular expressions, this is a decent quick start guide and regex101.com is a useful tool for experimenting with different patterns to match different strings. FFF uses Python flavor regex.
