Reevaluation of the self. What have ye become? You have fallen and forfeited the spiritual inheritance. You'll never find the light to remove the darkness in your unsparked body. You weeb abominations of the archons, no star shall guide you in the clearest of nights, no wind will blow your sail even in the most intense of gales. You and your archonic weeaboo kinds lack Synesis to appreciate the light of the world of the Aeons. You are far away, far away from the light. Ask yourself, ''What have I become?'', ''Will I ever find my place in the sun?'', ''Will I ever find Jerusalem?''. One star rises, one falls from the sky. It is still hiding the way of the true feeling inside. One word closer to things we need to say. One light's burning, another fades away. Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames. One step closer, the door is open wide. Come tomorrow, we'll see the other side. Others sat on a hill retired. In thoughts more elevate and reasoned high, Of providence, foreknowledge, will and fate, Fix'd fate, free will and foreknowledge absolute, and found no end in wandering mazes lost. Of good and evil much they argued then, of happiness and final misery, Passion and apathy and glory and shame, Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy. Then, then shall things, which now confusedly hurled, Seem chaos, be resolved to order's sway, And errors night be turned to virtue's day. Run the great race of faith and take hold of eternal Life. The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next. For as I turned, there greeted mine likewise. What all behold who contemplate aright, That's Heaven's revolution through the skies. Écrasez l'infâme chair. A person must test him/herself before eating his/her share of the bread and drinking from the cup, for he/she who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement on him/herself. I wrote I may say, to see how you stood the test. Under the test of this service, you will glorify the Aiōn Teleos by your obedience in acknowledging the Gospel of The Word of Spiritual Intellect. Examine yourselves: are you living the Life of Faith? Put yourselves to the test. Surely you recognize that Sophia the Aeon is among you unless of course you prove unequal to the test. Let each person test his/her own work. Consider the punishment of Sophia; who can make straight what he has made crooked? Which proves more short than waste or ruining? Have I not seen dwellers on form and favor? Lose all and more by paying too much rent, For compound sweet forgoing simple savor, Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent? No, let me be obsequious in thy heart, And tell you: May the contrite soul, the humbled spirit be acceptable to Truth as death of rams and bullocks, as thousands of fatted lambs: such let our new sacrifice be with you today, and may it be your will that we follow wholeheartedly, since those who put their trust in you will not be disappointed. Weeaboos are far away from the light, their mind shrouded with instinctive darkness of the material realm dominated by the archetype of the ego. The day of judgement will expose it. For that day dawns in fire, and the fire will test the worth of each man’s work. Otakus will never hold anything dear to their true egotistical selfish wrathful sarkic indignation. Unlike a leaf on the wind, a weeaboo will never land on their place on the sun. Sarkics draining the light of Sophia bringing upon the archons. You shackle the Elpis brought upon by aeons from the tree of life. You drain the pneuma upon the ethos of the Pleroma. Would the tide of change go in favor to the power of the archons? The weeb flourishes free in the modern age with no regards to the pneuma of the aeons. The weeaboo is free to spread their dominion upon the pneumatics. The Pleroma holds against the horde of hylics unleashed upon by androgynous archons forces under the Demiurge. The weeaboo is a seducer like an archon to normalize savagery of the flesh, the lowest of the mind, the instinctive level, the Sarkic weebs. The sarkic abomination of the Demiurge. What wrath shall thee unsleash upon the material world? Weeaboo abomination subjugation of the instinct upon the divine intellect. The Sagrada Familia is an epitome of the power of the divine intellect gifted by the aeons. You and your weeb kinds are unknowingly shrouding the gift of the divine intellect in humanity by spreading lies made by the archons to which you conceive to your marriage with the flesh. You are at the far end of the tether and when your thoughts won't fit together you'll need to deprogram your mind. It's like seeing a new day. Just what you need to make you nearer to the light. Ekklesiastikos Ainos pneuma rejuvenated by the star dust beyond the Material realm. You are a gross group of fetishists of young people. You have made a gross cultural materialist perversion of Gaia's innocents. A core part of the consumption crisis that weeaboos exploit is the perceived lustfulness thought by weebs in children. This subjugation of archonic weebs over innocents that can't express to adults their thoughts is a way for weebs to take the image of children and replace them to become one with the Demiurge. The profound blocking of genetic diversity done by weebs to the nature of the innocence of children is to ensure that weebs destroy the age of consent and weebs would now completely take the image of Gaia's children and fulfill their sarkic desires. The unprincipled exception of archonic transcription to tolerate a hierarchy of The Loyal Society of the Flesh. The metabrain of the archonic weeaboos pervades society to enshroud the inherited light through metagenesis locking human psyche that would guarantee reign of the Egotistical self that the Shadow hold inside our repressed self that reach back to the realm of our animal ancestors. The weeaboo guarantees such a transformation to occur and continue the rule of the Demiurge to block the light from reaching the Pleroma. The principle of natural selection does not require it, selection can operate rapidly. The weebs are a psychological rapid evolutionary deviated offshoot from the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species naturally selected by archonic forces. Geneticist Goldschmidt continued, every once in a while a macromutation might, by sheer good fortune, adapt an otaku to a new mode of life, a "hopeful monster" in his terminology. Macroevolution proceeds by the rare success of these hopeful monsters, not by an accumulation of small changes within populations. The mutant gene produces its effect by changing the rates of partial processes of development. These significant change of genetic phenotype causes the individual to new behavioral changes. Response to external stimuli is drastically changed by macromutations to account for change in the phenotype of the individual. This drastic change leads to the fulfillment of the increase of the darkness inscribed into an individual. The individual loses their control on their behavior which their environmental influences, in this case fandom obsession, takes over and becomes the primary role of the individual's character, metacognition, evaluation of social constructs, perception of reality, fictional precedence over thoughts and feelings, and losing the ability to distinguish different unique precedences. These psychological change of character of an individual is due to environmental and genetic factors inhibiting normal development of the weeaboo. Why would different partial processes of development be a significant factor to a species? Of what possible use are the imperfect incipient stages of useful structures? What good is half a jaw or half a wing? The concept of preadaptation provides the conventional answer by permitting us to argue that incipient stages performed different functions. The purpose of behavioral changes on the Homo Sapiens Sapiens in regards to the creation of an established preconceived behaviors is that these major adaptational changes in behavior is that it serves as a purpose to stall the creative useful potential behavior of the individual to the point that they unknowingly use material and informational capacity and to waste these resources in order for it to be diverted for selfish and anti developmental capacities that which their logos is diverted to the self which makes them economical and genetic burdens to both society and nature due to egotistical restrictions brought upon by environmental and genetic factors. The archons permeate these genetic phenotypes through increasing hormonal inputs of the individual. The environmental factors that change perception and behavior of an individual is because of the creation of artifacts, any medium anime related, that imbues perception of hormonal change that affects metacognitively only to those whose genetic development has been altered through genetic macromutation. The effect of these genetic and environmental changes to a weeb´s behavior is behavioral isolation due to speciation with their egotistical changed cognition. Behavioral isolation occurs when populations of the same species begin to develop different behaviors that are not recognized or preferred by members in another population. This so called behavioral isolation of sympatric speciation that creates changes to an individual from the same member of a species in the same geographic feature. Because there is no mate recognition between a weeaboo and non-weeaboo due to their behavioral isolation and their genetic and environmental deviations and differences.

I think what makes this anime addictive is the fact that it does a pretty good job of matching its cringe level with its self-awareness. Assuming this is a parody anime, this fact makes sure that you don't forget we're just here to make fun of the genre. In my experience, the average isekai either tryhards so much that it's too cringe to appreciate for what it is (and frankly, after all the effort that went into the tryharding, there's not much left to appreciate anyway) or doesn't have the ambition to earnestly play with its tropes in an enjoyable way. The Eminence in Shadow, meanwhile, is perfectly happy to lean into the tropes, but it makes it clear that it's not taking it very seriously and doesn't overembellish so much that it stops being funny.

Considering the anime is adapting the light novel accurately, I find it more amazing that the manga artist was able to make such a comedic adaption in the first place. There are SO many jokes in there that are manga-only. It doesn't lean on the LN, but improves on it. Being able to create a popular isekai comedy manga from that LN really shows the skill of the manga artist. Because they had to figure out timing, panelling, facial expression- being able to create a good comedy is a skill like anything else is. But, this director specialises in action sequences.. so at least there's better fight scenes.

@@norwa3518 I mean. Sure. But this anime is build upon a light novel that has it's main hook, the humor, mostly in the inner thoughts. They needed to do something, either more inner dialogue or a less faithfull adaption, which substitutes the inner dialogue with more visual humor. A good example of how they failed to do this for example is the scene where Alexia asked the mc to continue their pretend relationship for real. In the light novel, the explanation that the blood splatter becomes the school legend is the entirety of the joke. But in a visual medium, you can make more out of that with less text. Just seeing the bloodsplatter after the rejection is a very good visual gag, because what happens gets easily interpreted by alexias character. The joke is even competently reinforced by having the mc meet the pink haired girl with blood covering him. But they also added the textual joke from the light novel, which at that point feels a bit redundant. Maybe thats just me, but I feel it would have actual worked better as a joke by just removing the textual part of the joke and just kept the visual gag with the blood splatter and the blood drenched mc. The way it is right now just doesn't work that well. And I do like Eminence in Shadow. The Anime was good enough to get me to read the light novel, which I loved. But it was never really ... good. The episodes were decent, but I mostly kept watching because I was intrigued by the promise. By the great parody potential that the premise of the show had. Only to never really find it. And instead nearly an entire episode is dedicated to the protagonist just fighting a dude. It itsn't even that long in the light novel, they just added extra steps to it for no reason.

[@gary27182]

@@Amaror2 I kinda agree and kinda don't. The LN is for the most part accurately adapted (modulo some re-ordering) in terms of plot events etc, but in terms of the parodic elements, a lot gets either toned down squeezed out by the constraints of adaptation (although granted there's plenty of scope for that adaptation to be have been done more imaginatively). For example, the confession scene discussed in the video IS handled much more competently in the LN than the anime, and is more similar to the manga (albeit the LN uses the device of Cid showing off to the reader as he's confessing whereas the manga uses inner monologue; in fact, given the theatrical nature of Cid's endeavours, having him give more asides to the audience might have been a good way to preserve some of the lost parodic elements from the LN and manga in the anime). To be honest I'm somewhat mystified to see so many people dumping on the LN in favour of the manga (not the manga is bad, it's just that the LN IS good), to the point that I'm wondering if people are confusing it with the WN (which I haven't read, but it may be different).

Agreed the fact that this anime has two perspectives/storylines makes it so interesting, cid through his eyes is just trying to pretend being an all controlling puppeteer and he thinks his friends are helping him do that by pretending with him this leads to a more comedic vibe while the other side of the coin the anime is dead serious and people are dying, abducted and everyone other than cid is either completely confused , terrified and or takes it completely serious cause the situation is serious which gives another vibe.

There's a lot you can miss when it comes to the anime that makes it so much funnier than the manga. In the scene where he's showing off his loot to look cool, you can see everything in his old room was thrown out into the hallway. Including the whole floor. This dude ripped up his floor boards to install tiled marble just to say "the shadows are ripe tonight." And you know he's going to have to refloor the stuff he threw out just so his room doesn't stick out later. I think that scene was just funnier in the anime than the manga; him doing interior decorating for 45 seconds and the details therein were so much funnier than Beta just coming and being like "OH MY GOD LOOK AT ALL THIS!" And that's before the hidden jokes you need to rewatch to get. I love the manga. I love the LN. The anime has scenes where it's worse than one in some ways, and it has some scenes where it's better in others. You could argue that means this is just as good; which means I love it too. And not in the "this is terrible but I like it" way. I genuinely think this is a going to be a top 3 comedy anime for me by the time it's all over.

[@builder_dahomey]

Reevaluation of the self. What have ye become? You have fallen and forfeited the spiritual inheritance. You'll never find the light to remove the darkness in your unsparked body. You weeb abominations of the archons, no star shall guide you in the clearest of nights, no wind will blow your sail even in the most intense of gales. You and your archonic weeaboo kinds lack Synesis to appreciate the light of the world of the Aeons. You are far away, far away from the light. Ask yourself, ''What have I become?'', ''Will I ever find my place in the sun?'', ''Will I ever find Jerusalem?''. One star rises, one falls from the sky. It is still hiding the way of the true feeling inside. One word closer to things we need to say. One light's burning, another fades away. Don't stand watching your dream go down in flames. One step closer, the door is open wide. Come tomorrow, we'll see the other side. Others sat on a hill retired. In thoughts more elevate and reasoned high, Of providence, foreknowledge, will and fate, Fix'd fate, free will and foreknowledge absolute, and found no end in wandering mazes lost. Of good and evil much they argued then, of happiness and final misery, Passion and apathy and glory and shame, Vain wisdom all, and false philosophy. Then, then shall things, which now confusedly hurled, Seem chaos, be resolved to order's sway, And errors night be turned to virtue's day. Run the great race of faith and take hold of eternal Life. The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next. For as I turned, there greeted mine likewise. What all behold who contemplate aright, That's Heaven's revolution through the skies. Écrasez l'infâme chair. A person must test him/herself before eating his/her share of the bread and drinking from the cup, for he/she who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement on him/herself. I wrote I may say, to see how you stood the test. Under the test of this service, you will glorify the Aiōn Teleos by your obedience in acknowledging the Gospel of The Word of Spiritual Intellect. Examine yourselves: are you living the Life of Faith? Put yourselves to the test. Surely you recognize that Sophia the Aeon is among you unless of course you prove unequal to the test. Let each person test his/her own work. Consider the punishment of Sophia; who can make straight what he has made crooked? Which proves more short than waste or ruining? Have I not seen dwellers on form and favor? Lose all and more by paying too much rent, For compound sweet forgoing simple savor, Pitiful thrivers, in their gazing spent? No, let me be obsequious in thy heart, And tell you: May the contrite soul, the humbled spirit be acceptable to Truth as death of rams and bullocks, as thousands of fatted lambs: such let our new sacrifice be with you today, and may it be your will that we follow wholeheartedly, since those who put their trust in you will not be disappointed. Weeaboos are far away from the light, their mind shrouded with instinctive darkness of the material realm dominated by the archetype of the ego. The day of judgement will expose it. For that day dawns in fire, and the fire will test the worth of each man’s work. Otakus will never hold anything dear to their true egotistical selfish wrathful sarkic indignation. Unlike a leaf on the wind, a weeaboo will never land on their place on the sun. Sarkics draining the light of Sophia bringing upon the archons. You shackle the Elpis brought upon by aeons from the tree of life. You drain the pneuma upon the ethos of the Pleroma. Would the tide of change go in favor to the power of the archons? The weeb flourishes free in the modern age with no regards to the pneuma of the aeons. The weeaboo is free to spread their dominion upon the pneumatics. The Pleroma holds against the horde of hylics unleashed upon by androgynous archons forces under the Demiurge. The weeaboo is a seducer like an archon to normalize savagery of the flesh, the lowest of the mind, the instinctive level, the Sarkic weebs. The sarkic abomination of the Demiurge. What wrath shall thee unsleash upon the material world? Weeaboo abomination subjugation of the instinct upon the divine intellect. The Sagrada Familia is an epitome of the power of the divine intellect gifted by the aeons. You and your weeb kinds are unknowingly shrouding the gift of the divine intellect in humanity by spreading lies made by the archons to which you conceive to your marriage with the flesh. You are at the far end of the tether and when your thoughts won't fit together you'll need to deprogram your mind. It's like seeing a new day. Just what you need to make you nearer to the light. Ekklesiastikos Ainos pneuma rejuvenated by the star dust beyond the Material realm. You are a gross group of fetishists of young people. You have made a gross cultural materialist perversion of Gaia's innocents. A core part of the consumption crisis that weeaboos exploit is the perceived lustfulness thought by weebs in children. This subjugation of archonic weebs over innocents that can't express to adults their thoughts is a way for weebs to take the image of children and replace them to become one with the Demiurge. The profound blocking of genetic diversity done by weebs to the nature of the innocence of children is to ensure that weebs destroy the age of consent and weebs would now completely take the image of Gaia's children and fulfill their sarkic desires. The unprincipled exception of archonic transcription to tolerate a hierarchy of The Loyal Society of the Flesh. The metabrain of the archonic weeaboos pervades society to enshroud the inherited light through metagenesis locking human psyche that would guarantee reign of the Egotistical self that the Shadow hold inside our repressed self that reach back to the realm of our animal ancestors. The weeaboo guarantees such a transformation to occur and continue the rule of the Demiurge to block the light from reaching the Pleroma. The principle of natural selection does not require it, selection can operate rapidly. The weebs are a psychological rapid evolutionary deviated offshoot from the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species naturally selected by archonic forces. Geneticist Goldschmidt continued, every once in a while a macromutation might, by sheer good fortune, adapt an otaku to a new mode of life, a "hopeful monster" in his terminology. Macroevolution proceeds by the rare success of these hopeful monsters, not by an accumulation of small changes within populations. The mutant gene produces its effect by changing the rates of partial processes of development. These significant change of genetic phenotype causes the individual to new behavioral changes. Response to external stimuli is drastically changed by macromutations to account for change in the phenotype of the individual. This drastic change leads to the fulfillment of the increase of the darkness inscribed into an individual. The individual loses their control on their behavior which their environmental influences, in this case fandom obsession, takes over and becomes the primary role of the individual's character, metacognition, evaluation of social constructs, perception of reality, fictional precedence over thoughts and feelings, and losing the ability to distinguish different unique precedences. These psychological change of character of an individual is due to environmental and genetic factors inhibiting normal development of the weeaboo. Why would different partial processes of development be a significant factor to a species? Of what possible use are the imperfect incipient stages of useful structures? What good is half a jaw or half a wing? The concept of preadaptation provides the conventional answer by permitting us to argue that incipient stages performed different functions. The purpose of behavioral changes on the Homo Sapiens Sapiens in regards to the creation of an established preconceived behaviors is that these major adaptational changes in behavior is that it serves as a purpose to stall the creative useful potential behavior of the individual to the point that they unknowingly use material and informational capacity and to waste these resources in order for it to be diverted for selfish and anti developmental capacities that which their logos is diverted to the self which makes them economical and genetic burdens to both society and nature due to egotistical restrictions brought upon by environmental and genetic factors. The archons permeate these genetic phenotypes through increasing hormonal inputs of the individual. The environmental factors that change perception and behavior of an individual is because of the creation of artifacts, any medium anime related, that imbues perception of hormonal change that affects metacognitively only to those whose genetic development has been altered through genetic macromutation. The effect of these genetic and environmental changes to a weeb´s behavior is behavioral isolation due to speciation with their egotistical changed cognition. Behavioral isolation occurs when populations of the same species begin to develop different behaviors that are not recognized or preferred by members in another population. This so called behavioral isolation of sympatric speciation that creates changes to an individual from the same member of a species in the same geographic feature. Because there is no mate recognition between a weeaboo and non-weeaboo due to their behavioral isolation and their genetic and environmental deviations and differences.

Basically the conclusion on this one - is that it started off pretty rough on the comedy, but eventually the production company DID hit the stride and begin to start figuring it out.

I ALMOST dropped it - because I was pretty disappointed - but eventually it got itself on it's feet solidly. Advicce for watching: For the first couple of episodes, read them along side the manga, reason is the manga hit the comedy and got it - after about 4-5 in the anime hits it stride with the comedy aspect. it's one of those ones where it's worth it when it happens.

Making the MC not horny was a great choice. Makes for funny scenes like that one and endearing scenes like when he told the girl who makes her body look more "full" with the slime that she looked good. He wasn't even horny about it he just knew she would be happy if he said that. Very wholesome.

Immediately before reading eminence in shadow, I read ember knight and thought nothing would compare, I loved how smart the Mc was and despite that not everything goes as planned and he learned from his mistakes. The I read eminence in shadow which is literally the exact opposite l, where the Mc is normal but just bs his way through stuff and predicts everything perfectly and I somehow loved it. I recommend both despite them being polar opposites of each other but what I realized is that what I like about both of them is that they use tropes to their advantage to catch you off guard and become unpredictable

I've stopped on the first episode, Usually I'm a Iseikai/reincarnation junkie, but when he actually got killed by a truck (kind of annoying to see so much of nowadays.), for some reason i found him more interesting doing vigilantly things on the streets. I probably should had continued to see what would happened but the line up of anime that came out that season made me forget about the show.

as fast as i finish the latest episode i tell my self "why do i have to wait 1 week for the next episode when the anime is so mid" but then i also get very excited when a new episode gets realised

As someone who is anime only, I really like the show so far, everything from the story to the animation and artstyle looks really good! I've seen people who've read the manga complain about how its being adapted and that the comedy is being kinda pushed off to the side just a little bit, but tbh-...I kinda prefer the show be like that, it has a good mix of action and comedy, I couldnt imagine it trying to go the full Konosuba route and be an outright comedy...so all in all, I like what they are doing and I much prefer it this way🙏

[@idkwhattoputhere-4007]

I mean to be fair as a manga only reader (i only saw the 1 anime chapter) is full comedy they cut the part where he read harry potter to learn “magic” hit himself in the head multIple times naked to learn “omniscience” and then run into a truck dying thinking he learned “magic”

[@idkwhattoputhere-4007]

But it probably happened in the anime as they show the same place where he died in the manga

[@gram7354]

as someone who has read both the novel and manga as well as the anime, I can honestly say they're much much funnier and personally just much more enjoyable. Of course it's fine if you're anime only, but as someone who read the other versions, I can't help but feel that there's a lot you're missing out on

[@hellogoodnite8447]

The thing is by setting aside humor and making it look cooler, it looks cringe instead.

[@ooSHINIES]

@@hellogoodnite8447 Yeah the whole reason his edgy op shtick works for me is because he is funny.

[@sinaruden9280]

I'm so happy you giving this show much needed exposure. It's literally the most fun to watch this season along with SpyxFam, I never know what is the next 5 minutes going to look like and that's not something you can ever have too much of, even in this stacked season.

[@zachkedcc3299]

You need to make another review of this anime it just gets freaking better 😂
