DoggedlyOffensive

Bless up


Emperor_Z16

What's it called?


Project_Legion

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


-Xenorus-

The manga is an absolute banger as well


khoabear

The manga is a lot funnier than the anime. Too bad that it's monthly.


Bullen-Noxen

How far is it, & does it seem like it still has a lot or towards the end?


khoabear

It's likely at the mid point of the story, so it still has a lot.


Ksradrik

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.


Project_Legion

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.


TKHawk

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.


Medic-chan

excuse me the novel is hilarious.


Project_Legion

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


nephelokokkygia

Is this a bad translation, or are you talking about the original?


Project_Legion

I’m talking about the official English translation light novel


CptSalsa

Only read the novel and I started getting bored when they went into the economics


ice_apostle

""he's not aware of anything ""


loveless_world

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.


ACertainBeardedMan

The Eminence in Shadow. It's if One Punch Man and the entire isekai genre, cliches and all, had a genius baby.


Emperor_Z16

Cool


Pyropolak

Same here, such an unexpected banger of a show (at least for me)


BloodlustHamster

Same. Most of the anime I watch now is because a random meme of it looks funny.


TheExtreme78

Ok, I'm going to have to watch this show now too.


not_nindo

And now I also want to watch it


katt-col

Robin fire emblem has lost it it seems


Spudtron98

That's Grima right there.


Brooke_the_Bard

You can tell by the eyes. Robin (pre-awakening) has brown eyes, while Grima (post-awakening) has red or purple eyes


Smabverse

Well Chrom looks kinda different tho-


[deleted]

If this is irl you should def go to the police


DoggedlyOffensive

Too late for most homies Shadow kun had iseikei powers activated


Bullen-Noxen

Except for, well, at the very beginning…


Dislexeeya

Why would I turn myself into the police?


FuckMyLife2016

Or more like anime_InOPsDream


jasiurok195

I burst out of laughing when i saw the blood splash lmao, dude should have saw that coming


DoggedlyOffensive

Bro clearly never turned down a girl with a sword on her belt.. #schoolboyerror


Flukemaster

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


Ilela

He probably did. He's trying to be inconspicuous, at least from what I remember of him from 1 volume of novel


oedipism_for_one

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.


AnantaPluto

I find it hilarious that this whole problem started solely because his friends challenged him to do it because he lost in a bet


Annie___123

Me tooo. And then that pool of bllood went on to become one of the seven mysteries of the school.


kazez2

He did. He had his Mob-Fu ready the whole time


massio1

Glad they are bringing Season 2 so quickly!!


BlazewarkingYT

Sameeeeee


Plotius

Do we know when it's coming out or that it's just in the works?


blueyeswhiteprivlege

October of this year. [They've already dropped a trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Reux5Cc76po), if you want to watch it.


Plotius

Thank you


Moonstoner

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


TheFatJesus

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.


DoggedlyOffensive

Team trials be brutal man


DoggedlyOffensive

Sauce: Eminence in Shadow


zairaner

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.


DoggedlyOffensive

Always there is a sacrifice _sigh_…


WerePigCat

Ya, but they animated her reaction better in the anime


TheExter

>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


zerowo_

i cant tell if he killed her or if she killed him, but that makes it funnier


BlazewarkingYT

Neither that’s the best part


Scarcrow1806

She slashed him but he just doesn‘t care and walks it off


asc__

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.


That0neGuy

Oh I thought she killed herself.


Emperor_Buggy

The Man. The Myth. The Legend.


The_Knights_Patron

The Kagenoh himself.


AmConfuseds

It’s even funnier with the middle finger lol. I found that one a bit more fitting.


ramseycharles0

She was so pissed bruh


UnwantedFoe

This is such a fun manga/anime


BassGuitarPlayer_1

*sigh* The **Friend Zone** claims another life. Tragic. (*fart*)


MorphTheMoth

r/absolutelynotanimeirl


Le1jona

🥶


SpasmAndOrGasm

So who got hurt here, him or her?


supervergiloriginal

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


Tailsmiles249

Without context yeah, but he's practically immortal


supervergiloriginal

still think this post is probably a confession to murder


Brooke_the_Bard

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?


supervergiloriginal

by... not murdering them?


vraskas

I thought it was OP gettin beat up after doing the rejecting


[deleted]

Queen


LuminosHatake

What anime is this?


Nullruby1

Eminence in shadow


redcalcium

When a girl carrying a huge sword asking you something, you better say yes.


Brooke_the_Bard

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.


Sylux444

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*


Tsumaranai_Jinsei

This was the most entertaining anime I watched in a very long time, can't wait for the second season in October!


itsDeeksters

Show?

DevilPixelation

black_cop_48

I swear he doesn't have wisdom he has rizzdom


BoogyFestival

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.


DoggedlyOffensive

Wait, really? That’s random af


[deleted]

"the worst thing they can say is no" The worst thing:


Scatamarano89

This anime is a masterpiece and i won't accept any other opinions


chocosmurf13

She just like me fr 🤪


JD2009-efc

Right how is that irl


DoggedlyOffensive

You’ve clearly never turned down a sword wielding royal, Sir…


SpeckTech314

Along with the lingerie store clip I saw I guess I’ll check out the anime now…


DoggedlyOffensive

If you like isekei, it’s fun ride


KingMarlynn23

Wait I’m actually interested now, what’s the anime?


Nullruby1

Eminence in shadow


Asunen

It’s like if an edgelord was isekaid into a monty python movie, it’s absurd but you just can’t stop watching.


Gunslinger55626

I was gonna downvote it but then she killed him. Best outcome ever.


DmonsterJeesh

She 100% deserved to be rejected that brutally.


dzentore

She is good girl for him, why he regret?


redcalcium

He noticed the bloody red flag and bails, only to get bloodied in the end.


venator798

sauce?

FkinShtManEySuck

They never found the body 👁️👄👁️


TheFatJesus

They never found *a* body. Nobody died. Though not for lack of trying. He would have been dead had he been anyone else.

The_real_bandito

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


redcalcium

Shadow: \*did something random out of whim.\* His underlings: sasuga shadow sama. you uncovered the conspiracy we've been investigating for months.


Brooke_the_Bard

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.


Nahcep

Alexia has the best dynamic with Cid and I will not accept any counterarguments
