The Eminence in Shadow

Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!

★ 8.12022FALLTVFINISHED

Some people just aren’t suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That’s the role Cid wants to play when he’s transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there’s a catch even his wild imagination didn’t see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they’re beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!

Rewatching this before the new season. Honestly, the character writing is way better than I expected. Definitely earned the hype.

Rewatching this before the new season. Honestly, the pacing is tight — no filler at all. Definitely earned the hype.

Binged the whole thing in two nights. Honestly, the soundtrack carries entire scenes on its own. Not perfect, but I had a great time.

Took me a while to get around to this. Honestly, the background art is genuinely gorgeous. My only gripe is that the comedy beats don't always fit the tone. Not perfect, but I had a great time.
