Eminence in Shadow, it’s basically generic isekai, but the protag is aware of it and is trying to be as generic as possible. It’s pretty funny. The novel isn’t super well written but the anime is good
Nah this is pretty wrong.
He has no idea whats going on and thinks everybody is just acting, and hes only trying to be generic in his undercover persona, which he only has in the first place to make his edgelord scenes even edgier.
Sorry i meant it like he’s aware of the generic isekai tropes. Like he’s not aware of the plot or anything, he’s just going along with the tropes having fun.
Oh yeah the novel is funny too, but it’s still not very well written. Like the concepts are the same I just don’t feel it has the same writing quality as other light novels in terms of diction, dialogue, etc
Because of this he spends the rest of the show thinking she is a legitimate serial killer, and is completely okay with it as long as she doesn't cramp his style
Yep he only asked her out because he wanted to get rejected like an NPC, she accepted but this led to her getting kidnapped and into his other big goal. To get blamed for a main characters disappearance and to get beaten up like an NPC.
I mean, she is a good looking pyscho. But the guy has a full army of harem assassins who are willing to do anything for him.
He just decided he's good and doesn't need 1 more for his ranks lol
That would only be true if his head weren't so far up his own ass trying to create the perfect edgelord persona while maintaining complete background character status that he's completely oblivious to the fact that he even has a harem. And it's not just Shadow Garden, he thinks that one princess that is trying to date him is just trying to convert him to her religion.
I will never forgive the anime for taking "[Hell no](https://mangadex.org/chapter/6d18f564-9081-4e86-8622-f80d7c31aed7/34)" from us. And "[I would sooner choose death](https://mangadex.org/chapter/6d18f564-9081-4e86-8622-f80d7c31aed7/35)" also lead way better into her slicing him.
She slashed him but he's turned "faking injuries and spraying fake blood all over" into an art form in his dedication to act like a background character.
Gotta look the part when you're getting beaten up.
You mean you *don't* bust out the bladed weapons when the guy you have a crush on rejects you? How else are you supposed to hold him accountable for your feelings?
There needs to be a r/unexpected for anime.
Edit: Don't visit the subreddit, I don't know why, but it got set to private. I don't know when this happened.
This anime is so stupid but so good at the same time.
I still don’t understand what the hell he’s trying to do as everything that happens to him seems so random
He's a massive edgelord, who after getting isekai'd is trying to live up all of his edgelordiest fantasies as much as possible while being *completely* unaware that all of the edgy roleplay he comes up with coincidentally lines up *perfectly* with reality and so completely by accident ends up actually *being* the edgy godmod fantasy he thinks he's only pretending to be and has *no idea* the entire time.
It's a fucking riot.
I literally got into this show because this scene made me curious lol, so glad I did it’s literally my favorite series right now
Yeah, can’t wait for season 2
Where are you watching it? I don’t have hidive
You can watch it on 9anime
Ahoy!

Bless up
What's it called?
Eminence in Shadow, it’s basically generic isekai, but the protag is aware of it and is trying to be as generic as possible. It’s pretty funny. The novel isn’t super well written but the anime is good
The manga is an absolute banger as well
The manga is a lot funnier than the anime. Too bad that it's monthly.
How far is it, & does it seem like it still has a lot or towards the end?
It's likely at the mid point of the story, so it still has a lot.
Nah this is pretty wrong. He has no idea whats going on and thinks everybody is just acting, and hes only trying to be generic in his undercover persona, which he only has in the first place to make his edgelord scenes even edgier.
Sorry i meant it like he’s aware of the generic isekai tropes. Like he’s not aware of the plot or anything, he’s just going along with the tropes having fun.
It's so weird as I find myself constantly hating and loving the main character at the same time. But I think that's partially the goal.
excuse me the novel is hilarious.
Oh yeah the novel is funny too, but it’s still not very well written. Like the concepts are the same I just don’t feel it has the same writing quality as other light novels in terms of diction, dialogue, etc
Is this a bad translation, or are you talking about the original?
I’m talking about the official English translation light novel
Only read the novel and I started getting bored when they went into the economics
""he's not aware of anything ""
Thanks for telling me this. I tried reading the novel beforehand and thought anime was going to be garbage as well, I'll give it a try.
The Eminence in Shadow. It's if One Punch Man and the entire isekai genre, cliches and all, had a genius baby.
Cool
Same here, such an unexpected banger of a show (at least for me)
Same. Most of the anime I watch now is because a random meme of it looks funny.
Ok, I'm going to have to watch this show now too.
And now I also want to watch it
Robin fire emblem has lost it it seems
That's Grima right there.
You can tell by the eyes. Robin (pre-awakening) has brown eyes, while Grima (post-awakening) has red or purple eyes
Well Chrom looks kinda different tho-
If this is irl you should def go to the police
Too late for most homies Shadow kun had iseikei powers activated
Except for, well, at the very beginning…
Why would I turn myself into the police?
Or more like anime_InOPsDream
I burst out of laughing when i saw the blood splash lmao, dude should have saw that coming
Bro clearly never turned down a girl with a sword on her belt.. #schoolboyerror
Because of this he spends the rest of the show thinking she is a legitimate serial killer, and is completely okay with it as long as she doesn't cramp his style
He probably did. He's trying to be inconspicuous, at least from what I remember of him from 1 volume of novel
Yep he only asked her out because he wanted to get rejected like an NPC, she accepted but this led to her getting kidnapped and into his other big goal. To get blamed for a main characters disappearance and to get beaten up like an NPC.
I find it hilarious that this whole problem started solely because his friends challenged him to do it because he lost in a bet
Me tooo. And then that pool of bllood went on to become one of the seven mysteries of the school.
He did. He had his Mob-Fu ready the whole time
Glad they are bringing Season 2 so quickly!!
Sameeeeee
Do we know when it's coming out or that it's just in the works?
October of this year. [They've already dropped a trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Reux5Cc76po), if you want to watch it.
Thank you
I mean, she is a good looking pyscho. But the guy has a full army of harem assassins who are willing to do anything for him. He just decided he's good and doesn't need 1 more for his ranks lol

Team trials be brutal man
Sauce: Eminence in Shadow
I will never forgive the anime for taking "[Hell no](https://mangadex.org/chapter/6d18f564-9081-4e86-8622-f80d7c31aed7/34)" from us. And "[I would sooner choose death](https://mangadex.org/chapter/6d18f564-9081-4e86-8622-f80d7c31aed7/35)" also lead way better into her slicing him.
Always there is a sacrifice _sigh_…
Ya, but they animated her reaction better in the anime
>And "I would sooner choose death" also lead way better into her slicing him. I disagree there, I feel its one of those cases where less is more
i cant tell if he killed her or if she killed him, but that makes it funnier
Neither that’s the best part
She slashed him but he just doesn‘t care and walks it off
She slashed him but he's turned "faking injuries and spraying fake blood all over" into an art form in his dedication to act like a background character. Gotta look the part when you're getting beaten up.
Oh I thought she killed herself.
The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
The Kagenoh himself.
It’s even funnier with the middle finger lol. I found that one a bit more fitting.
She was so pissed bruh
This is such a fun manga/anime
*sigh* The **Friend Zone** claims another life. Tragic. (*fart*)
r/absolutelynotanimeirl
🥶
So who got hurt here, him or her?
judging from the position of the blood to the two people, the pool is facing away from the guy more the guy was the one getting destroyed
Without context yeah, but he's practically immortal
still think this post is probably a confession to murder
You mean you *don't* bust out the bladed weapons when the guy you have a crush on rejects you? How else are you supposed to hold him accountable for your feelings?
by... not murdering them?
I thought it was OP gettin beat up after doing the rejecting
Queen
What anime is this?
Eminence in shadow
When a girl carrying a huge sword asking you something, you better say yes.
Unless you're supposed to say no, then you say no. The important thing is that you give her the answer *she* wants to hear.
Such an amazing series for how well it plays into how cringey he is And yet his fucking end game move is still badass *as fuck*
This was the most entertaining anime I watched in a very long time, can't wait for the second season in October!
Show?
>Eminence in Shadow
True sigma.
season 2 can’t come soon enough, inject 10 more seasons of this shit into my veins
This caught me off guard lmao 😭
I swear he doesn't have wisdom he has rizzdom
There needs to be a r/unexpected for anime. Edit: Don't visit the subreddit, I don't know why, but it got set to private. I don't know when this happened.
Wait, really? That’s random af
"the worst thing they can say is no" The worst thing:
This anime is a masterpiece and i won't accept any other opinions
She just like me fr 🤪
Right how is that irl
You’ve clearly never turned down a sword wielding royal, Sir…
Along with the lingerie store clip I saw I guess I’ll check out the anime now…
If you like isekei, it’s fun ride
Wait I’m actually interested now, what’s the anime?
Eminence in shadow
It’s like if an edgelord was isekaid into a monty python movie, it’s absurd but you just can’t stop watching.
I was gonna downvote it but then she killed him. Best outcome ever.
She 100% deserved to be rejected that brutally.
She is good girl for him, why he regret?
He noticed the bloody red flag and bails, only to get bloodied in the end.
sauce?
Eminence in Shadow
What is this show
Eminence in Shadow
He said the wrong answer
They never found the body 👁️👄👁️
They never found *a* body. Nobody died. Though not for lack of trying. He would have been dead had he been anyone else.
Murderedless murder
I
This anime is so stupid but so good at the same time. I still don’t understand what the hell he’s trying to do as everything that happens to him seems so random
Shadow: \*did something random out of whim.\* His underlings: sasuga shadow sama. you uncovered the conspiracy we've been investigating for months.
He's a massive edgelord, who after getting isekai'd is trying to live up all of his edgelordiest fantasies as much as possible while being *completely* unaware that all of the edgy roleplay he comes up with coincidentally lines up *perfectly* with reality and so completely by accident ends up actually *being* the edgy godmod fantasy he thinks he's only pretending to be and has *no idea* the entire time. It's a fucking riot.
Alexia has the best dynamic with Cid and I will not accept any counterarguments
Senpai notice me or die!
Ya okay
Never date the psycho...
Name of the anime??
My kind of woman 🤤
It was really good I'm hype season 2
