Shadow is the kind of guy who understand why Dio stopped time only to bring Polnareff down 3 steps, and would have done the same, if not more

[@dodo-uz4ct]

Shadow would let Polnareff comes really close to put him back down the stair, making it seems infinite.

[@Anigeek1246]

I would’ve just made Polnareff appear at random spots on the stairs. Maybe backwards too.

[@rahn45]

I think Cid would probably let him get to the top of the stairs and then repositions himself at the bottom of the stairs instantly.

[@rustkarl]

At least with Dio he has a point in doing it. That mofo screwed with Polnareff’s head.

[@kizirandoms6322]

[@Just_a_turtle_chad]

The fact that the anime doesn't try to take itself super serious is what makes it so much better.

[@CriticalyDumb]

100% right really just the best escape from all this bs around us

Doesn't make it good though. A lot of shlocky movies do that too.

[@BruhMeme85]

i honestly really enjoy the thought process of the MC of trying to make something as cool as he can, the scene where the mall security jsut got confused as to how to piano jsut fkin disappeared killed me

[@Whysp]

The whole anime is a joke that shouldn't work but does. Cid is literally a human library of npc consistent reoccuring background character tropes while Shadow is the embodiment of the plot. In Eminence in shadow, Shadow literally slam dunks down the plot into the position of subplot taking the role of the plot for himself. He doesn't have plot armour, he is the plot and we need the armour.

[@xkiri7484]

Found this while looking new manga to read, and when the anime was announced I was expecting great things. But this? Animation, music and most importantly the japanese VA are much more than I could have ever hoped for. Listening to the "I am atomic" line still gives me chills

[@Gecko3456]

Yeah but it's not a bad isekai

[@xkiri7484]

Of course everyone has his own opinion and taste for the story itself, but the quality behind the anime it's not subjective. It's the same for me I don't think Overlord is so great of a story, but the anime is.

Too bad I'm not someone that can just shut off their brain at will. You can write something witty and hilarious and still have it make sense, or have it explained.

[@nokkuneinei6592]

I think gigguk INTENTIONALLY write "bad" to gain attention, but Eminence, just like gigguk said, is a Cheap isekai, just like eating unhealthy but tasty fast food

[@EpicGamerWinXD69]

I’m honestly not convinced Gigguk actually thinks Eminence in Shadow is bad. I think he classifies it that way for the same reason he states his honest opinions on a podcast called “Trash Taste”. I think he’s just saying that it is bad to please the crowd twitter, but knows that people who like it won’t care either way. That’s what I think anyway.

[@Cleron_O_Andarilho]

This podcast is full of this kind of take

[@Whysp]

He doesn't though. He calls it trashy isekai because thats the category just like how Junk food doesn't taste of garbage (at least it shouldn't). Trash isekai is basically the Junk Food of anime and Eminence in Shadow has taken the junk food throne from how Gigguk is describing it.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

​@@Whysp think of it this way, if your regular Trash Isekai is a stuffed crust Pepperoni pizza, then Eminence in Shadow is the Stuffed crust, chicken, bacon, minced beef and Pepperoni pizza, with potatoe wedges and extra cheese, that you eat while stoned AF. You know it's bad, and in any other circumstances you wouldn't get it, but at that moment in time, it's so god damn perfect for what you want.

[@Whysp]

@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 And it just so happens that in preparation, the staff threw in some extra spices at random to flavour it up a little accidentally creating something that in any normal circumstance shouldn't have worked.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

@@Whysp Exactly, the chicken is Tandoori, the bacon has jerk seasoning, the beef is cajun, the potatoes are peri peri and that extra cheese is an apple smoked mature cheddar, then you dip it BBQ sauce, fold it up into roll, and stuff your face with it and an ice cold larger. Like, it shouldn't fucking work, but it does.

[@laurasibob1106]

Honestly, I read the manga a long time ago and was super hyped when I saw it got an anime, then I watched the anime and I was like: "They really went all in in making this shit actually cool" The manga focuses more on the comedy, on Sid's perspective and such, making everything way more light hearted and amusing, but the anime actually benefited a lot from straying from the manga. P.S. Mundane V Princess and Shadow V princess and battle saint made me feel all sorts of things.

[@sololeveling7390]

Making it more serious/cool/edgy in the fights kind of enhances the comedy while also making it kind of actually cool/entertaining in the more classic hype fight kind of way

[@saddocatto9245]

then its to read the LN

[@skycastrum5803]

Always wonder about that. I usually read more manga than watch anime, and typically don’t watch anime of stuff I’ve already read.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​@@skycastrum5803 that's because the anime doesn't follow the manga, it follows the LN so eminence in shadow still counts as an anime you haven't read the source material of.

[@Monkeylordz88]

The Eminence in Shadow is absolutely GOATed. I was reading the manga before the anime was announced and it was one of the funniest I've read in recent times, but I was worried that the adaptation would be another low effort shovelshow. Fortunately, the anime turned out to be incredible! The MC's voice performance is top tier, and the action scenes are pretty well animated.

[@ARCNA442]

I had the same reaction - I was expecting a Death March-level fun but mediocre adaption of a great manga/light novel and was blown away at how much effort they put into making the anime incredible.

[@marcuszeus5552]

Yeah especially EP 5 with I Am Atomic and EP 20 with that Light Yagami's laughter and then NAZE Man those scenes give me chills

[@jaysylvester7973]

In my personal opinion the anime has better action scenes then the manga but the manga so more detailed to everything else

[@Kiritomens]

@@jaysylvester7973 yea i agree mostly. anime losses on the character development for sure. But just the fact that it is a anime makes up for it. that itself makes the show funnier. for the fact that it reminds me of the the first time i watched trash isekai anime when i was young.

[@williamembly3635]

Bro when he delivered "I am nuclear" was epic

[@SkineSky]

I don't think I ever actually cringed at all during this show. Like there is cringy stuff that Cid does, but because you know the exact mindset of WHY he does it all, it just loses all the cringe factor because it makes sense why HE is doing it. Most cringe comes from the thought of "This is stupid." Or "That doesn't make sense." But when Cid does it, those thoughts are replaces with "This is exactly what Cid wants to happen." All that should be cringe is instead replaced with a sense of accomplishment. That's what allows the show to transcend the cringe and soar to peak levels of entertainment.

[@AziSlays]

facts. before watching this I didn't even understand why someone would consider it bad anime because it was so thoroughly entertaining. It doesn't matter that the characters are stupid, it doesn't matter that their motives are stupid, it doesn't matter that everything is so over the top. Because the story is about a psychotic roleplayer gaming the shit out of the entire world and ALL of those "flaws" feed into it perfectly. Also I started watching it on accident while trying to look for Isekai Nonbiri Nouka instead but I was high as shit and got given the wrong name of the show initially, and the first few eps I was thinking the whole time "so how does this all blow up so bad he becomes a farmer?"

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

​@@AziSlays funny you mention that last bit, because I personally view this anime like one of those massively overloaded stuffed crust pizza's that you'd get whilst stoned AF. You know it's bad, and in any other circumstances, you wouldn't touch it, but right then, it's God damn perfect for what you want.

[@Chris-qj5cs]

The problem is that dumb people cant appreciate nuance and dont understand satire. If you understand the character of Cid the show isnt actually 'cringey'. Thats why its funny when people call this anime stupid and yet lack the brain power to even understand what it's trying to accomplish.

[@bikerider1241]

Eminence in Shadow isn't a bad show. Its not a show so bad its good. Its not good because of the cringe. Eminence in Shadow is a genuinely a good written show with well written, memorable and entertaining characters.

[@animatry7410]

Exactly

[@Mercure250]

I think it's weirder than that. Without Cid's ridiculous bullshit, I'd be like "Eh, it's alright, I guess". Like, sure, not exactly bad, but not really that good either, and I would just forget it after a few months. It's BECAUSE the main character is such an edgy overpowered dumbass that this show is more than that. It's kinda hard to put into words in my sleep-deprived state, but basically, I think the show just doesn't work without Cid's ridiculous LARPing and how it's contrasted with the other characters taking everything seriously. On one hand, the show is doing something really stupid with its main character, but is very self-aware about it, and that somehow turns it into something really fun to watch instead of cringe, and on the other hand, the other characters who would be just kinda ok (imo), become much more interesting because they have to deal with this ridiculous DnD character who just keeps getting Nat20's. What I'm trying to say is, yes, it's well-written. But it's well-written in the sense that it does a lot of things it shouldn't do, but it does it anyway, and somehow, it works. There are a lot of aspects of this show where, if you take them individually, it's either really stupid or just very meh. But when everything is put together, it works. It's not well-written in the sense that every aspect is masterfully crafted and then assembled in a greater whole, it's well-written in the sense that they took a lot of dubious parts and managed to make them work as a whole. That's why it's so hard to talk about this show; when you do so, you end up talking about individual parts, and that ruins it. You have to actually experience the show to properly get why it's good. Basically, what I'm saying is, it's not well-written in the same way other great shows are well-written; it's just doing its own thing and somehow manages to make it good.

[@Scymet]

@@Mercure250 That's right, every time you talk about TEIS, the expectations of all the genres and tropes you mention give a wrong idea of what it really is and it sounds mid asf

[@Mercure250]

@@Scymet Exactly. Plus, I would say it's not necessarily a show for everyone. It's like the Monogatari series to me : I love it, I think it's great, I think more people should watch it, but it's very hard to recommend.

[@implosive4778]

precisely. this show is genuinely up there with some of the best isekai. it pulls off the humour so well

[@DarkPegasus87]

The best part about Cid is that you cannot blow his cover. It cannot be done. As Cid, he is SO ordinary and uninspiring that NOBODY would believe HE is Shadow, the infamous leader of Shadow Garden. You could literally blast him with an attack specifically designed to cancel his magic temporarily so that his disguise disintegrates to reveal he is Cid, and everybody who knows him will have a mental blue screen of death. They will be stuck in that eternal buffering wheel as they wait for their mind to load. At least, it makes sense to learn Batman is Bruce Wayne. In one of the movies, an analyst even figured it out and tried to blackmail him. With Cid, nobody would believe. Someone MIGHT be able to muster the words to ask why. To which, he can just smile and say, "Why not? Even now with the truth right in front of your eyes, you still refuse to believe. It is precisely as I intended it to be." Then, he just wrecks the opponent with ease that nobody can fathom before 'slowly' leaping into the air and vanishing in a flash of purple magic. The writers could full-on pull that when it all comes to a head with the Cult of Diablo, and it would be the greatest bomb-drop moment in anime.

[@vascofernandes295]

SPOILER ALERT: At one point, Aurora decides the best host for her lingering ghost is Shadow's sister Claire. Then, Aurora keeps giving her tips that Cid=Shadow. And she's so like: my brother can't do shit that she doesn't get the tips...

ngl, I'm enjoying the show, love how he's legit larping and stumbles into a legit conspiracy and secret society

[@NitroStarman]

I read some of the manga. Like what Gigguk said, MC is basically like a One Punch Isekai. Reason why he's OP is that he's hell bent on training to be stronger than a nuke. Yes a nuke (strongest power in his eyes). He went crazy trying to do that in his previous world. Magic world allows him to basically to do that. Some compare the show to Overlord mainly because of his relationship with his followers. They believe in him 100% and overthink his actions (or even inactions) and his intelligence. Basically unquestionable loyalty where many exclaimed that they would commit atrocities for him. He also doesn't seem to be into seriously romancing anyone (at least not yet). So affections are pretty 1 sided mixed with classic misunderstandings.

Lets fricking go man! Nux is finnally watching this masterpiece

[@Argionelite]

As you watch, you'll notice why he talks so much about isekai from just a meta perspective. I'm rewatching it for a second time, and I'm still catching subtle details and jokes. They've done such a masterful "show, don't tell" approach to where you can take it as a corny show on its surface, but the more you watch just how they present Cid, the more you start thinking "This HAS to be a parody, right?"

[@trainershade1937]

I decided to watch through this a week and a half ago, and caught up yesterday. Was one of the most thoroughly entertaining experiences I've had in a while. It's so hilariously absurd that I can't help but want more.

[@noahjarrett3101]

My theory is that this anime is like a Haruhi Suzumiya situation. Cid basically makes shit up as he goes and all of it becomes true coincidentally. Rather than being transported to another world, its more like he's in his own personal heaven where he just gets whatever he wants. He's just unaware that the world is influenced by his imagination. Its not a confirmed theory or anything, but it feels like the same concept of the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya but taken in a much different direction. Like imagine if Haruhi ever wanted to be a protagonist in a dungeons and dragons story.

[@Exilum]

What I found particularly interesting about the adaptations of this series is that both the manga and the anime made an original spin on it that fit to their medium well. The LN has both funny and serious moments, it's all about making something that can be edgy and kinda cool but also making it ridiculously funny. The manga took the full-on comedy route, even adding visual gags on top of the LN's. The anime took the discrepancy route, they adapted every single serious part seriously while keeping the essence of the jokes in. They made the entire world serious, even added some world building that wasn't there originally, all to make the difference between the world and the MC that much more noticeable.

[@dreammachine3522]

Nux being like "yo thats like Dio levels when he stops time to move Polnareff back down the steps." Me being like and we love Dio for it.

It comes from the context and meta-knowledge of the audience, reading between the lines to know exactly the sort of absurd bullshit that the protagonist did to set things up the way he did. In the manga, they didn't even mention him stealing the piano to bring underground, but seeing that piano the first thought isn't "Oh wow, this is dramatic and cool", the first thought is instead "Jesus Christ, how much effort did he go through to get that piano down there?"

This is honestly my most waited for manga chapter release every month, and I hope season 2 doesn't just focus on the vampire monarch ark.

[@grip3939]

Everybody that finished the season JUST DO IT

[@oxero7935]

I'm gonna wait for the analysis

[@Brand-yk6dw]

imagine someone fanfictioning this and comparing it to the original: patrick: i dont see the diffreence

[@rolandrush5172]

It’s called the Dead Sea because there is no life in it…

[@firezone8770]

you NEED to make a rection to this anime.

[@byroncabs2930]

"I am ATOMIC"

[@acrozen]

Nux should watch it on sub, the ""I am atomic" scene hits way different that way

[@nachideku]

Honestly one of the best animes to come out in recent years. Re-ignited my spark for watching anime

[@Danny-yw5jx]

Oh man, I finished watching it weeks ago and it was SOOOOO FRICKIN' LIT!!! I mean I couldn't even tell where the broken MC trope ends and the anti-hero begins at times! You haven't seen it yet, Nux? Ah man, you can't rip on anime until you do it's just got that much essence to it that everything you joke about going forward, will have practically no merit behind it until you watch The Eminence in Shadow.

[@VivioSaf]

This show is the equivalent of that guy who strikes a awkward pose, but instead of going shy and laughing it off, he screams: "YES, THIS IS A JOJO REFERENCE!"

[@JoannaS1320]

It's actually stupid good, I went in with 0 expectations and left with a new favorite anime. lol

[@Lightmagician60]

[Cid goes to pull out Legendary Sword] Viewers: ah he is gunna be Chosen [Sword Rejects him] Viewers: he is gunna Force it out? [Floor Begins to Crack, but not where the sword is being held] [Cid stops, because the seal is stronger then the sword, he would break the sword before the seal]

[@Foxstab]

OMG Nux! Watch it! Watch it NAaAaAaaAAaOW

[@elsewhereprince3969]

I look forward to watching Nux’s overpowered analysis on this character. I don’t care about the show so much since I find reality warping powers to break Sanderson’s second law of magic, although I know Nux shall be enjoyable anyways.

[@gearsprimed141]

LOL, I watched Robotech and a bunch of Americanized animes like Voltron, Sailer Moon, etc., then jumped into Gundam, got bored, Dragon Ball, bored, Card Captor Sakura, pretty good, Dragon Ball Z. Naruto, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ghost In The Shell, got hooked and then came BERSERK and I don't remember what else I saw around that time, and nothing has ever been as good since and probably never will be as good.

[@justerino2998]

Now i know why dead sea is called dead sea, thank you.

[@mrdude5733]

6:30 how can you be wrong yet so confident?

[@brokentempest4268]

This just slap, maybe i have superiorty complex but i found Cid to be cool af

[@aizo4321]

Wonder if your gonna fully analyze our man Cid, that’d be hilarious

[@Lord-of-wisdom-ciel]

A year later and I saw this video lol

[@DokuroHeartvore]

"But to rely on that crutch"

[@DarkPegasus87]

PLEASE, RECORD YOUR REACTION TO WATCHING THIS!!! FULL AVATAR AND EVERYTHING! PLEASE!

[@Voltitar]

Nux is right why isn't konosuba there Btw I too think eminence in shadow is one of the best isekais I've watched

[@CriticalyDumb]

Konosuba is a Top 5 isekai🫡‼️

[@Voltitar]

@@CriticalyDumb for me it's my top 3 but I respect that

[@jadedcoyote7928]

Facts

[@ahmedalrafi500]

I love Shadow and all of his personas . He is my GOAT

[@Jacob-2000]

when you saw the scene with Cid giving Alexia a thumbs down, did you think to yourself, "BEGONE THOT!"? 'Cuz this is a certified thot slayer moment XD

[@bellcross1794]

I've been reading the novel and it's prolly one of the better misunderstanding tropes to come out recently.

[@DrSpac3]

let's get a series review for this show

[@Charlie-kc6py]

You gonna love the absolute flex during the final fight

[@RedrakeSI]

This anime is better explained as "What if I made my power-fantasy chuunibyou in another world, while keeping my identity secret because that's CRINGE"

[@doctorfaust9759]

The point of the clip was for "roll credits"
