Shadow is the Chuck Norris of anime.

I laughed so hard at that. He's still got it.

Shit had me dying 🤣 😂

You are 13 year old who thinks the "I am a gamer" line was an amazing line lol

👏👏👏Caught me off guard, repeated the line right away.

Yes it is normal.

Absolute madlad

This is probably one of the only a handful "harem, OP, Isekai" that I found super fun to watch as a female. If I was in Cid's world, I'd certainly hope I have invisibility and shield magic so I can just watch everything he does and carry popcorn with me.

It's very normal

@@eggsnspam Is it even harem, he never really does anything with the girls they kind of just exist

*when overlord being a parrot who says stuff he hears seconds before

I think this is a good description but it's hard to imagine. I would just say it is an Isekai that is self-aware it is a trash Isekai and executes all of the Tropes intentionally so unashamedly that it becomes an overpowered comedy. I'd say it has more in common with One-Punch Man than Overlord but superficially it pretends to be an Overlord ripoff.

Like ainz ever had any idea about wtf was happening

And it’s actually good and doesn’t have a creepy genocidal Nazi fan base

​@@strygwrAinz is aware that he's conquering the world he was isekaid into. He just has no clue how he's pulling it off.

What’s your opinion on it?

Cid manages to roll a nat 20 EVERY TURN when he’s in shadow mode he’s so unbelievably lucky it’s funny

Gotta love him for that.

"This show is all of my guilty pleasures slapped together and turned up to 11", I'm with you on that

It's so dedicated to the bit in such high quality with emphasise on the the ridiculous perfomative nature of Cid, it's just plain fun.

His delusions are reality. He will make his cognitive dissonance your problem in its entirety

He's the guy you will see LARP-ing LOTR or something at the park

My theory is that MC is in a coma ever since getting hit by that truck. It's the only thing that makes sense - and explains how his random made up plot immediately becomes real.

​@@XIIchiron78 well,The theory canbget debunked,SPOILER ALERT!!!! He reverse isekai in vol 4

It wasnt that he was so fast, in the ln it said something like, his swordplay is natural, like the falling rain or flashing thunder, you dont pay attention to natural things like droplets of the rain so it slips out of one consciousness. Basically his swordplay becomes one with nature itself and the mind stops to take notice of him.

@@alizainal7180 ahh gotcha. that’s just as cool, but since i’ve only watched the anime my head canon is that he’s just fast af

He did the exact flash step like Toji did in Shibuya Arc

The va is good, the sound design is godlike.

ATOMIC

I... AM... ATOMIC

The VA for shadow is good,songs are awsome(escepially the battle themes,reminds me of games like gow or dmc),edgelord.

Haven't watched it yet, but felt like gigguk was overselling the show from what I remembered feeling when reading it. It was fun, sure, but in a very mediocre way and I ended up dropping it in the abandonment arc. The he showed the full clip of "I am _ATOMIC",_ and I realized why he loves it so much. The sound design is, as you put it, godlike. This seems like one of those adaptations that is clearly superior to the source material. *At least if I can extrapolate the rest of the show from that one scene (like I said, haven't watched it yet).* Honestly, fairly much alike 'reincarnated as a sword' in that way. Soundtracks and voice-acting and overall cool animation for the magic and combat scenes carrying and synergistically enhancing what was a rather mediocre comedy otherwise.

I fucking loved these episodes. When that vampire girl first said that I thought something like: "Hey finally Shadow has found someone that can be his shadow eminence friend. I bet he wished he came up with that line." and then he started imitating it 😂

​@@ArchmageEmperorTheChosenOne man i understood straight the he needed the new punch lines lol

Oh man, i was shocked by the way the animators went for the fight, a single movement of muscle was instant death and she stepped back. Her confidence and self esteem was shattered and he couldn't care less

Yeah it was top notch

@@XaviXDJoR i dont think he even knew what was going on so how could he care?!

i heared in the manga he actually killed her and revived her for her to halucinate that

Yeah ngl,the animation(imo)is pretty.

The whole time he was having that monologue, I was getting really intrgued at how wonderful a crowbar was and also just how skilled he was

This show completely took me by surprise. I started watching it when the season was 5 episodes in ( I like to give new anime time to air 5 episodes before I start in) and after that, I watched it week to week. Every episode left me eagerly waiting for a week to pass so I could jump back into the madness. If I were to rate all the anime that has released over the last year based on how much I anticipated each episode week to week, this would be number 1.

to be fair a crowbar is a really fucking good improvised weapon, shit could be a blunt weapon, stabby stabby, hell Arnis with crowbars is fuckin terrifying

Yea, episode 1 hooked me almost immediately, I got super hyped during the crowbar fight, and was completely blindsided when the episodes ends with "surprise, it's an isekai!" (i don't read summaries ahead of time). The fact they show the actual death scene as him not accidentally dying but in fact intentionally running into traffic screaming at the top of his lungs ISEKAIIII really set the tone to 11, and I was there for it every week!

Doctor Freeman would be proud. So wake up Cid, wake up and smell the ashes.

Yess inm stealing this

Truuuuueeeee

Don’t click the clips.

I am the author -Cid probably

Dude he totally would say that

That last bit of music he put at the end of the video reminded me so much of Berserk type music, it scared me

The sound director is the same guy who did the sounds in fire force

Anybody know of any anime with sound design like this? (not feet force)

@@hughmungus4730 Honestly, Danmachi has the best sound design I've ever heard in an anime next to Made in Abyss. Just to be clear, I'm talking sound effects and design, not music. Kevin Penkin did the music in MiA and it's pretty hard to beat.

@@hughmungus4730 JoJo's has pretty goat tier sound designing.

Yo is it getting a final movie?

Exactly the reason this Is so funny

Yes! That was what really told me I was in for a rollercoaster of a story

I was disappointed anime didn't Hulk him up in that episode 1, he should have looked like in the manga :D

He wasn't actually a buff. The manga just made him like that.

I love how first episode girl has a flashback with him looking like Bane when he saved her in the manga.

@@thamor4746 it's because it's more based off of the light novel, the manga is quite a bit more exaggerated

Best attack in this season ngl

They nailed it so much, that scene encompasses the show lolll

Honestly the first Atomic hit so hard and funny and they did it really nicely. 2nd one's line was a bit more cringey and less cool. Third one was cool because he was just playing around and not actually using it. Man EIS is the best isekai I've seen. Sure Mushoku is art, Rezero is great but isekai is only captured by the fun you have along the way.

frrr bro

People try to be way too deep with story telling nowadays. It just needs to be entertaining to get me to watch really.

But hey, that's just a theory, a Grant's theory. Thanks for watching.

@@fieryelf I have always preferred more lighthearted shows because of that reason. Especially because a lot of the drama / heavy plot twists in a lot of shows feel like their only reason for existence is to be exactly that, and not to fit into the story.

The funny part is, the show has a TON of actual story and deep shit to it... its just hard to see because every time you get close to it Cid just kinda... Shadows all over it? I am glad Gigguk said it reminded him of One Punch Man because that is what I have been telling my friends the whole time since it feels so similar to me. All the other characters have all this deep, intricate interactions between one another. They fight desperately against a foe they have no hope of truly beating. As they reach the end of their ropes and you expect some bullshit plot device to get pulled out of their ass like friendship or something to defeat the baddy... Saitama shows up and kills the bad guy no problemo. Eminence in Shadow has the EXACT SAME ENERGY to that and I love it.

@@fieryelf that is the most known secret ever. Obviously an over saturation is bad too but entertainment that is cheesy and dumb sells, every time. Like know one thought the expendables was "good" as a deep story, it was fun tho. same with the Fast movies

I know an artist like that but instead, he can't paint anything serious except if it is for a meme. Then he'd go Michaelangelo mode

When compared to the manga the anime does take itself surprisingly serious, which goes to show just how ridiculous the manga is.

It's important to be serious about not taking yourself too seriously.

is the dumb idea of “i’m trying to not be serious so it’s funny” BUT FAILS AT THAT REALLY HARD! there is an skill involved in trying to be a parody! and this anime and manga ain’t one

So about the girls in S2.....

agreed

Mostly the fight scenes are pick animation and sound edit.

The show was bad but the enjoyment factor was too good to pass up

Try the manga it's even more funny

Same

frfr

it's true though xD I was thinking about the same from the beginning of the season while recruiting elfs as his shadow guards xD and asking " HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?! "

God

It'll be funny if he somehow has heirs and children, even though he NEVER SLEPT with any of his women. The girls are down bad for him so badly, I wouldn't be surprised if they are crazy enough to 'try' anything, like making a child clone of him using his dna or something?

lol how can you get it wrong when the clip is right above the comment section :D "the man fucks without losing his virginity, because he never looses" .. but i agree on one thing ,that line got me as well :D

Thanks for that description, I've been looking for this since I first heard the scene

Shit reminded me of Re:Zero S2

first time ASMR ?^^

He said it because earlier in the show he said he wouldn’t be able to survive a nuke in his last life but now he can so he says I am atomic

Yah i feel like that moment isn’t talked about enough, the mc is borderline insane and would spend his life in an asylum in our world but in the fantasy world that insanity translated to power and influence.

I like to think that yes, he is insane but id specially laser focus on his objective. Once he wants to do something he does the absolute best to achieve it either if that's been a magic user, a sword fighter, an NPC, literally anything that he wants to be he will train to the absolute limit and beyond. And at the same time he is so far remove from anyone and anything around him like him not wanting or caring to have anything with any girl (either shadow Garden members or not).

I just love how they rolled the credits right after the news of cid dying on Earth in ep1 even though there was more left to the episode.

Apparently him running in front of the truck was an accident - he though those lights were gods or something coming down to give him magic due to the concussion he gave himself from bashing his head on that tree. Which makes the whole thing absolutely hilarious. Look at his face when he realizes it's a truck. "It's at that moment he knew. He fucked up".mp3

Yeah he is definitely insane but tbh.. If i could master any martial arts there is and train my body to absolute perfection and I still cant win against an atomic bomb, I would go insane too....i mean the absolute only thing that could possibly make him more powerful in Rl is a concept that doesn't even exist there lmao

So he's also fulfilling the trope of the clueless anime protagonist, incredible

This contributes to a lot of the comedy too in my opinion, because there's a lingering anticipation and curiosity of "what the hell would happen if something happened in just the right way to either make cid realize that all of this is real or expose to his shadow garden comrades that he thinks they're all just larping together for fun, how the hell would they think of him and all the work they've done so far", because that could be a pretty goddamn hilarious scene in itself. Instead, the man has a script running in his head translating everything he experiences into the common sense of his past life, meaning "there is no shadow organization hellbent on world domination even though I wish there was, there's no way girls would have feelings for me" etc since that's what his last life was like. Baddies with swords and magic kidnap your sister? Must be bandits that your larp friends made up a fun story for to enjoy kicking their asses more. A princess talks to you about love and your future together with you for hours on your way to vacation? (don't remember how much of this was shown in the anime but it went into good depth in the manga and novel, and the princess in question was Rose, not Alexia). She must be trying to push some strange religion or cult on you, better shut up and feign acceptance until you can get away. Pretty much all of shadow garden idolizes him and definitely all of the main female characters save for like Iris, Beatrix, and maybe his sister would either marry him (whether that's as "Cid" or "Shadow") the second he asked or if he asked after dating for two weeks, but he always has some internal explanation for why their adoration and affection must instead be some loose attachment from shared hobbies or gratitude at best, finding him convenient somehow at worst. He constantly thinks he's just enjoying larping out what he wishes his dream was like and having a good time doing it while also internally lamenting that the real thing doesn't exist, completely oblivious to the fact that he is literally living his dream. He isn't larping, but he's the only one who doesn't know it isn't larp. He's literally living his dream but is too dense to realize it. He's also drowning in all the female affection from women (of such high quality as to have no right existing in such a ridiculous comedy) that a man could possibly want, but ironically Cid himself probably has less romantic desire than 90% of MCs out there and possibly wouldn't think much of it even if he knew beyond just thinking "of course a real eminence in shadow would be brimming with allure and mystique that captures the hearts of women simply because of how goddamn cool he is, they have good taste, a shame this is just larp and not the real thing" even if I myself think one or many of these women deserve to end up happy with him despite himself lmao. The humor in this, especially in the manga and light novels, just has so many layers it's ridiculous. It may be simple and stupid in some regards, but on closer inspection the framework that constructs that stupidly straightforward cringey edgelord humor is actually a bit complex and layered. It's a masterwork of pushing something to the extreme to maximize the comedy. The author is a genius and he better keep the novels coming.

@@trevorthompson6825 Cid/Shadow really are the epitome of "fake it till you make it" Alternatively they're also what happens when you do something for ironic humor long enough, after a while it becomes genuine, like how I said "pog" ironically and then it became part of my vocab.

Cid knew about the Cult , just that he think of them as some weak flashy pushover organization which ,so far from his point of view, he is totally right. He believed there are a more secret organization behind the Cult, think that his 2 friends are part of it, call to spy on him. Also, Cid is actually very knowledgeable about ancient legend and history and went around finding them.

Yep. Rather than OPM, I think it draws a lot from Gurren Lagaan. It just turns all the dials to eleven and doesn't look back. It doesn't care about character arcs or third acts or cliches. It's like seeing someone dance like nobody is watching.

Cid >>>> chainsaw man

If the show wasn't self-aware, I highly doubt it'd be this successful. The jokes hit way harder because of this trait, and generally makes me more invested in watching more. I just hate shows or games that do stupid shit and don't AT LEAST acknowledge how dumb what just happened is. A good example of another great self-aware game is Hi-Fi rush, and how the world (Magically) is in rhythm with your character, they poke fun of that then dismiss it.

@@wolfboos Being self-aware doesn't necessarily mean pointing it out specifically within its own context. I actually kind of find that "meta" stuff a bit annoying. It 's better if it's self-aware in the sense of not giving a fucking shit and doing it in full confidence that despite it being silly, over the top, or otherwise ridiculous, you WILL enjoy it. Gurren Lagann as mentioned before is the perfect example of this. Most Trigger animes are. Completely over the top, and leans into it so much that it's hard not to love.

or how the girls are helplessly thirsting over cid and then u have the usual clueless but like permanently stunlocked cringe mc but not cid , he has NO CLUE in the slightest and also not a shred of lust in his eyes and thats what makes it funnny, even when delta is litteraly grinding against his crotch he doesnt even bat an eye

​@gamingyoshi2280 I also think the main reason he doesnt notice these things is simply because he doesn't care. He has no interest in that since to him it wouldn't make sense for any of his characters.

They deserve to be confident, I knew the source material and this still blew me away. The studio put out a better anime than I could have ever expected from the sources material.

Honestly my fav isekai ever

19 was great, but 20 for me was stretched out. The fight didn't really need to go everywhere in the city; also Iris, someone who determined to protect the country, was causing collateral damage everywhere just trying to catch someone she can't beat.

@Aruim I think that was sort of the point. It was expanding on the same idea as her using an artifact despite finding them shameful. Doing everything she could, throwing everything she had at him, even to the degree of damaging what she swore to protect and throwing away her pride, and it was all useless.

S2 ended. sadly the production is off. Alpha and Beta looks very diff. the fights looks less badass. But but the last 5min of ep12 back on earth is good again. Guess the A team came back for the send off. When 'highest' started for the end credit chef kiss. Hope team A works on the movie.

the Difference is other Isekai seriously tries not to be cringey while Eminence in a Shadow knows its going to be cringey so we'll just max it out.

In the manga, the cover called it "Misunderstanding Manga!" which is basically the whole eminence in shadow series lol

The best part is that the cringe stuff doesnt "just happen". The MC goes out of his way to make them happen. He prepares the scene, he sets up the lightning, he waits for the perfect dramatic moment, he probably learns cool lines to say late at night. All for both the MC and the background character roles. And he always goes to aboslutely ridiculous lenghts for it.

MC always wanted to be a "Hero" so there is nothing chuuni about it, he's not Imagining that he is a Hero, he was actually trying to become one. Also don't be like Gigguk and say anything that is anime related cringe, times have changed, something that was cringe before now is just normal deal with it.

Cringe is as cringe does, people who narruto run will always be being. Anime cons will have variety of cring. And this protagonist is mega cring, but the results and his passion for it are commendable. Not sure if I’d call him a hero since he does good or backstabs his own allies is he thinks it’s “cool”

@@Immerteal Not really, he makes stuff up which coincidentally happens to be true which sets up the scene that he stumbles upon. The Order of Diablos for example.

From what I understand it is to Isekai as Bayonetta is to action games? Is that a fair comparison?

it's not so much a satire as simply those tropes taken to their natural extremes. Sort of like JoJo, in a way.

well, it zigzags. Some of the tropes are subverted or parodied.

God the best part is how he fucking trolled EVERYBODY including the damn audience with his blue-balling us on one final epic "I am atomic" scene. Truely a sigma male gigachad moment.

It's not that his bs comes to reality, is that he thinks he gaslighting everyone, and he only ends up gaslighting himself.

@@Skelethin Even then, he still thought everyone figured out that it was bs.

You are using gaslighting incorrectly.
