[@calebstephan2083]

To be fair this was polled when it only had 2 episodes. Not much people were watching it at that time. It started to pop off at episode 4 and 5. It got so popular that season 2 was announced as soon as season 1 ended. Season 2 is coming out around the end of this year or beginning of next year. This show may end up becoming a yearly anime due to how popular it is.

[@Young.boy.johnny]

Agreement

[@vex_d673]

It can't really be yearly because it will catch up to the LN too fast at that rate.

[@Young.boy.johnny]

@@vex_d673 true

[@khortman]

Love the transformation you guys have gone through over the years. I still watch your Attack on Titan reacts every now and then and it's awesome seeing you guys grow, the graphics upgrades and the awesome intros. Didn't realise you guys hadn't reacted to this series yet, but can't wait for more!

[@KallaTheYapper347]

I categorize this anime as "If Shirou Emiya was isekaied" because MC wanted what Shirou was also striving for, but the difference comes in the foundation of why he wants it. Shirou wants to undo the damage brought about by human, magus, and non-human entities. So he can save everyone even though it's impossible. Shadow wants power to live out his edgy superhero fantasy.

[@omargoodman2999]

I'd call it more "Isekai One-Punch Man with the spirit of Misfit of Demon King Academy". It does the same unbeatable MC Protag parody that OPM does, but in less of a "parody of superhero while exploring psychological conflict on the downlow" and more of a "parody of OP isekai character but play it with a completely straight face and go so over-the-top that it loops all the way back around to awesome". One trick I came up with, actually, is to *not* think of Cid as the MC of the story just because he's the focal character. Instead, it's more like he's a stupid-OP cameraman who goes in to set up the equipment to shoot the scene for the _actual_ main character, who varies from arc to arc, but each time he ends up solving the problem himself and literally steals the scene. And that's *exactly* what he described wanting to be; an OP 3rd faction in a stereotypical good/evil conflict, a person and a group that says, "OK, what alignments are you guys? Lawful Neutral vs Neutral Evil this time? Or is it Neutral Good vs Chaotic Evil? Whatever, were crashing the party, and our alignment is Shadow."

[@-H3X]

Yo your edits are incredible. Had me rolling when the truck drove across the screen 😂💀"Undisputed Champ"

YEEAAAAAAHH!!! Guys I'm speechless, you guys are my favorite reactors and I love Shadow so much. Thank y'all for suggesting The Eminence in Shadow, this show will be 10 times more hilarious. 4:42 I've watched this show more than 6 times through the reactions, but only Lupasan was able to make me notice the weights on Cid's wrist, nice catch. 11:00 I miss the mr. Editor so much, you're goated.

[@jled787]

Even his shoes were weighted as you can hear the shoe locker creak when Kagenou Minorou placed his shoes in. Its more subtle in the anime as the Manga played it for laughs showing Minorou being overtly buff to the point you would think he's Dwayne Johnson.

[@アラーム嫌い]

[@VedpathakSamartha]

This Is Very Good Series, Cant Wait For Future Episodes

[@Kuroyami0Fukaikuro]

The manga prologue was hilarious, it was shown that because of his intense training his body was fucking jacked so even though he kept lying to himself about being hidden in plain sight he was just completely known to everyone. And then when he got hit by the truck it was because he was doing some forest training and then jumped at the truck because he thought it was an enemy.

[@cielno1748]

Actually some time passed between that incident and when he died. He and Nishino get pretty close but that’s probably gonna be like season 2 or 3 depending on how they do it. Just thought I’d clear up that confusion. They’re definitely going to keep giving love to the series since the director and producer are fans of the novel. By the way there is a reverse Isekai this season called dead mount where he gets Isekai from magic world to Japan. It’s excellent

[@Emprxr]

13:17 Ya Boy Kongming is an anime about a srrategist from ancient China being isekaid into the future. And it is a great show.

Surprise surprise mf .....spoilers ... He goes back to his world and the girl he saved in ep 1 also gets more exposure and screentime in LN. It's plot progression is random but Shadow sama keeps it at stack.

"there was more character development on her than him" which is funny seeing how he wants to be in the shadows...so even episode 1 wasnt too much about him lol

[@adicacid]

I don't really know the details about the poll between this and Black Lagoon but my guess was that at the time people didn't really care about this because hype for this show was almost non-existent (at least I didn't see anybody talking about it before the season started) especially since it aired along with big names like Chainsaw Man and Spy Family. I also went into this show blind but after a few episodes it shot up to be one of my favorites from that season. After watching a few more episodes you might feel that this first episode is out of place compared to the rest of season 1 and that's because this is from much later in the source material. I only read the manga starting from where season 1 ended but afaik in the original it went straight into the isekai setting with only a brief background on Cid's Earth life.

[@jackjohn325]
