Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute

This anime was a real surprise to me. I only had minimal interest in watching it, but when I did I was surprised. The first few episodes were average, but by episode 3 I was hooked. Unlike most of my experiences with similar anime's, the episodes just got better and better.

Make sure you watch at least the first three episodes and make sure you watch it on a high quality format, preferably from HIDIVE. If you do you will not be disappointed. The biggest challenge you will have is to pace what you're watching, this series is very easy to binge.

One other advantage I found was the episodes were very re-watchable. I have watched it twice since I watched it originally and enjoyed each watch. I am Atomic!!!

It's good but doesn't get the recognition it deserves, probably because the current animes releasing are outshining it.

I like the characters but some are forgettable unlike in other shows.

It's my favorite isekai anime but not in my top3 from every genre.

It's interesting to see the main character trying to act like a background character but failing most of the time.

I'd say it's worth watching since I can't really think of an anime similar to it.

The harem part is ok but it would be better to just have good side characters and not a harem

After reading the manga I will update the review if my thoughts change.

In the anime-verse there are a variety of anime but this anime as an isekai stands above many, i dare say its better than 90 % of the isekai anime out there. I have been watching anime for 22 years so trust me when i say Eminence in the Shadow is unique in both its storyline and character build up. Anime successfully combines raw action with comedic traits. And the best part for me is that it is free from any overly excessive ecchi depictions that most anime of day has. It is just unfortunate that it will be overshadowed by the release of Attack on Titan last part of season four, Demon Slayer season 3, and Jijutsu kaizen later this year.

So today the last episode of this series just dropped and im sad cuz its going to end :( hope we get a new season soon :)

overall, i can say this show was one of the greatest isekai's i've ever watched!

The fun of this show is something else! Hits you where you don't even guess it and actually makes sense. I've seen others saying that this show is not good at all!!! Y'all need to chill. Like c'mon this show is that weekly show everyone enjoys. It's what everyone was waiting for every week. So overall MASTERPIECE :D

i hope we get see shadow-sama again sooon.

Can't wait :D.

I recommend watching this.

I mean i know they didn't follow the path of manga to some degree and skipped some. BUT this anime is good right now. Let's just forget about the manga for a second and talk about the anime itself.

It has alot to offer and its good and as a person how first saw this from anime and then read the manga i can say this anime is worth the watch!

While, the manga is much much better in all most every aspect! I try to judge anime's and manga separately there are references in this anime that I disliked, like this for example anime reference "Dark Knight" in my opinion is weak an overly used everywhere else plus you doesn't get a sense of what means for the characters! In the Manga they are referred too as "Spell-Swords" which is unique name an makes ref to magic swordsman very effective!

But this anime is still great in its own right, an is worth a watch! You don't need to even watch ep1 as it was terrible an there's nothing in it you don't gain from the other 3 eps of what is going on!!! After eps2 things definitely get better for watching!!
