This entire series is like a d&d campaign being run by a dm who's rule of cool is playing anime themes over their headphones during boss battles and describing in great detail how cool each fight mechanic is.
man, I cracked up so many times when I read this. The random scenes of him standing on a rooftop and thinking "A cool line to say would be..." and then says that. It's such a weird concept yet pretty well written
Although it isn’t mentioned in this vid, Claire was abducted by the cult because she was a possessed like Alpha until Cid cured her, and a theory that actually makes sense is that Cid doing that basically amped up her already brilliant power to the point where she could potentially beat up a higher up member from the cult
Mostly because in an effort to sound legitimate he based his lore around actual stuff that happened in that world, never actually explained which is weird though
this one was actually good for me, enjoyed it. it does not take itself too seriously. its about an already OP guy who gets reborn and gets to redo life the way he wanted - to be a background character who is secretly OP. and boy does he accomplish that.
@@kleembus4513 I've got high expectations but I don't wanna go in too overhyped or with too high expectations rn so I'm kinda not thinking too much and just waiting
honestly, with how the story is shaping up around his words, at some point you get suspicious and you gotta wonder: does he have secret powers to make fiction a reality? or is someone making this happen as he speaks? there's no way this can be coincidence
Tehnicly it can, he could had easily overheard in his childhood mention the cult and then it got stuck to him the same way us humans do that with some words, when you learn a new word you start hearing it wayy more and apply it to some other things
What if he is like Haruhi in the way that whatever crazy fantasies he keeps creating come true. Like the cult existing and accidentally pinpointing the exact location of the hideout that Claire was taken to.
Always wanted to be a secret villain. Playing from the shadows, watching people rip one another apart as I play both sides. Never being in the like light while simultaneously being more biggest bad guy out of them all
*ahem* anyways. I like the idea of being a "shadow" mentor, aiding people in charge to be wise, moral and good while also being very strong, stopping and impeding guys like you.
My guy must be cursed or something cause no way is he that stupid to not realize everything is real when he himself is clearly as powerful as he is... unless he also thinks thats a joke as well as the people he killed.
Man is a psycopath straight out of the books. He never acknowledges the existence of other persons as actual "people" and he also does everything for his own benefit, not even caring about hurting the people around him (take him throwing Alpha out of a train in movement just to "look cool" as an example). He is a psychopath and I hate him, but I love the world and shadow garden so I will continue watching.
7:43 when you intend to do something that should go unintended but you had one wrong calculation and the result went wrong just like other mathematical equations.
Shadow is powerful cuz he see's everything as fiction he thinks this ain't real like an Anime to every one in the Anime this is real life but shadow doesn't think that so he basically has toon force the power of a cartoon character with stats to the max
I read a comment somewhere describing this anime to be a parody of other cringe and edgy Isekai shows and I can see that, but honestly at the same time of making fun of the other shows, they had perfected this troupe, not exaggerating, this is by far the best show I’ve seen that has the “Isekai op mc with a hidden identity” troupe. I’ve seen other shows that are good too, but not with this exact troupe.e

"Kagenou dies an NPC death", "getting killed by Truck-kun" 💀 😂
the funny part is he did it intentionally

To become not cringe, one must embrace the cringe.
I love this anime, the entire thing is this man RPing and running into the actual plot along the way.
Although it isn’t mentioned in this vid, Claire was abducted by the cult because she was a possessed like Alpha until Cid cured her, and a theory that actually makes sense is that Cid doing that basically amped up her already brilliant power to the point where she could potentially beat up a higher up member from the cult
The funny thing about this show is every bullshit Cid came up with actually turn out to be true 🤣
Bro this man is true he made up the story but it ends up to be true
True true hahahahahahahah
I only know two Sid/Cids' and one made me cry and the other one weirds me out.
Fake it till you make it

The eminence in shadow has no right to be as goated as it is
World Building of this anime is far very better than average isekai anime
@@mahendrap1960 ikr i can only name 2 other shows that have better world building
It should be illegal for a show to be this good

What makes this anime, an anime is that it knows it's over the top, embraces this, and takes it to another level.
"as crazy as it is that story cid pulled out of nowhere was true" literally the entire eminence in shadow summed up in 1 sentence
bro really became the batman of his world
closer to punisher hes a total psycho it makes him entertaining but he is crazy and ruthless
@@MegaShielsdeadpool. You’re thinking of deadpool.
This anime took "Misunderstood" to whole another level
It wasn't by accident from the beginning he wanted to lurk in the shadows
Cid is like when we fully upgraded our characters and decided to make a short work of everyone for fun 😂
With Season 2 coming later this year, it's gonna be fun

LETS GO!!!!!! EMINENCE IN SHADOW IS BY FAR ONE OF THE GREATEST ANIMES OF ALL TIME!!!! This anime has deserved a recap for a while now

@@Neil29011 2020-2029
all time? thats going way too far. its a good anime amongst isekai's. thats all.
@@EpicBuntythats seem a bit too harsh. Many people like isekai so this is what they like the most. Dont sound too "judging" when stating your opinion
im glad i found this channel. a good way to find new anime to watch :)
Or, just watch the summary, and then you'll find that you won't watch the whole anime!
@@Grasslander That's kinda sad then because you get to fully enjoy the hilarious and epic moments of it.

Nah, it's just a coincidence and he just winging it based on what he assumes would happen or thinks would be cool.
What if he is like Haruhi in the way that whatever crazy fantasies he keeps creating come true. Like the cult existing and accidentally pinpointing the exact location of the hideout that Claire was taken to.
for the first 3 mins i was confused i thought i was watching another anime lmao
Do none if these characters wonder why the ‘mc’ never dies?
This man also has unspoken rizz.
In the manga how his previous life was very hilarious but in the anime his so edgy and cool
There is amazing attention to detail. The car at the beginning is great CG, and a bunch of other stuff.
As much as everybody makes fun of him. He has the spirit of a human. Aspiration to go beyond one's limits and be something more
This is truly a eminence in shadow
Best Isekai main character imo
Rudeus
I just feel bad for the princess. It pains me how much she suffered
I knew you will upload as kadokawa released a trailer

HIS PLOT ARMOR IS OVER 9000!!!!!
Plot armor? Nahhhhh hes the plot, infact he held the author on gunpoint
@@MAXIMUM-pc1ch based
They basically gave this anime the OPM approach by just going all in on isekai tropes
Man really knows how to use the power of plot-armor
Subscribed because you're the first anime recap channel I've seen that can pronounce "Akane" correctly because you're not some audio bot.
He’s biting ice cream, biting ice cream! No sane person does that
8:03
The title is so accurate
"But sid just nukes him out of existence" lol
32:02 damn strat fax

Awesome job narrationing this video! Can't wait for you to cover season 2 when it finishes this year. Keep up the awesome work AniRecaps!
My man is just Larping
This series was unexpectedly funny, Cid had me crying some episodes.
this is way better than rewatching
12:34 Fun fact. The statue in this scene is all of the original 8 members of Shadow Garden
The amount of misunderstanding is wilddd
When you Said "this is Out Protagonist" i knew you already read the whole Manga. 😂😂😂
7:43 when you intend to do something that should go unintended but you had one wrong calculation and the result went wrong just like other mathematical equations.
At first everything he stated to Alpha was supposed to be a fiction but now it’s reality as if he has reality stone from Marvel Universe
You could say that Cid nuking the two areas are historically accurate to the one of Hiroshima and Nagasa-
He didn’t even accidentally make one up
He meant to make a shadow organization
Yall got the eminence in shadow? Nah man we got shadow wizard money gang
SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG.
(we love casting spells)
the chill relax voice with the music perfecttt
this has got to be one of, if not the best animes i have ever watched.
Are you 12?
im not going to go in on how his name is misspronounced but with the prouncing ruffian as rusian found that really funny
Let's go anime emmince in shadow the best anime
Ok that is the name
Bro just unintentionally founded that worlds version of the illuminati
THAT CAR IS A ROLLS ROYCE NOT A LAMBO!!! Sorry that bugged me but good video!!!
Bro, everyone is commenting on the anime but like this man's narration is too good to be ignored
Bro ate ice cream without even f****** flinching
Shadow wizard money gang, we love casting spells.
AAAHHH!! 😱
Shadow is powerful cuz he see's everything as fiction he thinks this ain't real like an Anime to every one in the Anime this is real life but shadow doesn't think that so he basically has toon force the power of a cartoon character with stats to the max

One Punch Man: Magic Edition
The guy's starting his own Illuminati and does not even realize
Why is it that when I saw the title I thought of SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG
whoops guess i started a cult
I want an anime about Truck-kun. Truck-kun just gets assignments of who to Isekai and follows them around on their final day.
There was actually a manga like that. Some guy driving around a truck and getting paid by gods and goddesses to hunt down people to isekai
I just finished the series a while ago it's just funny that he becomes the demon lord of that world
This is the first time I've watched a video posted 2 hrs ago
The only thing I got from this is that the MC is constantly being assailed by hot girls but he doesn't care cause he just loves murder.
I love how you mispronounce diablos through out the whole video! xD
The simplest way to describe this entire series is with the following: "Random bullshit go!"
Truck-cun back at it again with another one
MY MAN wanted to not die by the nuke in previous lif.......so he became the nuke
This is the only recapper I know who uses emotion and vary voice volume in their recaps, which is crucial for attention and emphasizes certain scenes.
This video's title sums up this series very well
He didn't 'Accidentally' start a shadow organization that was his whole thing, did you really read this?
Did you? Cid had nothing to do with starting shadow garden. That was all alpha. Cid just went with it
@@emeloj240 you really thought your rando behind age, get the out what do you think this is the comments section to
this dude is the definition of plot armor
I love your voice it sounds cool
The main character is so overpowered. I love it, the only challenge he has is his own imagination. You can't help but love it.
he didnt pull the story out of thin air it was basically a folklore in that world
YO this is fire
hate it when that happens
Sid is such a chad that he literally makes girls completely submissive just by existing
Cid* and yes
its cid
@@not_eagleye Actually come to think of it, it's spelled Sid on the web novel
Accidently on Purpose
I watch this last week
Decent breakdown, some inaccuracies, a few typos in the speech, all in all 8/10 recap
You know how much more advanced shadow garden is from the rest of the world because of the magnetic white boards.
October 2023 !! S2 !!
well I like how this guy got personality but also wish that he showed the epic moments like cid’s atomic
I love your recaps, i watch them before the next season
10:00 You say that w/ sarcasm, as if those sadistic soldiers didn't 100% deserve it
This guy maxed out all his stats😂
Bro dropping nukes left and right
The way you speak diablos is wild 😂
ALL HAIL SHADOW!!!!!!
THE EMINENCE OF SHADOW WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!
BAW DOWN BEFORE THE GREAT SHADOW
Alternative title: So many misunderstandings happen that a, once noble born, child turns into a mafia Overlord
25 seconds in and you've called a Rolls-Royce/Bentley a lambo... good vid tho
NAH I HEARD OIL! THAT SHIT IS MIIIINNNEE!
Truck kun is really doing hes job to hit people
