The Eminence in Shadow

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.

Killed then reborn in a new world, the usual. But in this anime they don't explain anything. The main character as per usual is overpowered but they don't explain why he is so strong or how anything in this world works. He is pretending to not be the main character for no reason really. Not to mention the relationships between people are very weird. Like you could tell the anime isn't that well thought of but ya know it's okay to watch. 7,9 rating made me think that it will be close to other anime's with a high rating but not really. To be in full honesty this anime's real rating is 6,5 so don't get your hopes up.

Though I wasnt sure of the direction the plot was going to be taking, which took a few episodes to get into I found something truly unique. A main character trying not to be a main character is something no show has ever done and the comedic gags it brings along is really hilarious.

The protagonist is simple yet hugely likeable and the characters have unique personalities. Watch at least till ep 11 to give it a thorough understanding of the anime and what its trying to accomplish. Animation is decent and is pretty good in fights, shadow garden and the cult are well defined orders and provide an interesting rivalry.

Worth a watch!

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!

The ost is insanely good like a little cringe but I would lowk listen to it. One of my top ten isekai and I've watched atleast 30 (also including all of the renowned isekai like slime, vending machine, chronicles of an aristocrat, mushoku, overlord,strongest exorcist, am i really the strongest, daily life, greatest demon lord, devil is a part timer, blah blah. Lots of fanservice mind you but the great timing of comedic and shocking elements provide great surprise in my top 3 isekai of all time. People do tend to have mixed feelings about this show, so I must give it a 9 because their points are true. The show could use some more aspects from the manga like specific terms (when watching the anime they refer to "Dark Knights" and in the manga they are "Spell-Swords" which sounds a lot better and more fitting for the storyline.
