When i first start watching this anime, it feels pretty good but then it was just time pass like so many things make no sense, like no real story line, or what he wants, Sometimes i feel story written by some little child based on her fantasies, like playing dark hero and showing off, overpowered, adding new girls character which holds no meaning.i didn't get single moment where i can say damn it's fucking great. There were so many things which were total mess like he killing that old man in front of that pink hair girl like what was the need that moment could have been more better, and in the end also rose killing his father not that basterd perv, only thing i like was the way he says the dialogue of his moves nothing else but still i didn't come to like cid not at all, it was like making ideal isekai anime with nothing as base story, like every last character was meaning less.So in the end you dont feel attached to anime instead of that i just start disliking it, and man even the end scene were so frustrated.

I haven't watch the anime but going by the manga, this is about a guy training to be strong but feigning weakness so he can manipulate things from the shadows. Such a grand ambition but even before he got isekai'd he was pretty much seen standing out because of his ridiculous muscles. Right from the begininning the tone has been set. It's an isekai comedy. Action is there just to say, "ok, here's a villain and our hero got rid of it and so we are moving to the next arc". Everything is based on the MC's chuuni desires. Heck even that part about the Diablo's cult and the demon being defeated by 3 heroes is basically the plot of a PC game. His sister is yandere as hell. Delta is basically a pet rather than a subordinate. The fact that he just randomly said some stuff to convince the first ppl he saves to form an organization only for the backstory to turn out real should be an indicator of this being a comedy show rather than an action one. It makes fun of our MC as well as the standard tropes of other fantasy and isekai. Plot is there just as a framework to construct comedy on it. If you didn't like the humour, then it cannot be helped that you have different taste. But are you seriously expecting the plot to make sense, storyline to be consistent and character development when the entire premise is just luckily falls into place just as the MC ad-libs everything?

Damn bro how could you watch the entire thing without even understanding the premise of it? Comedy part aside, the serious part is actually quite well written and much easier to argue if you want.

Why Cid killed Sherry's father in front of her? To get the trope achievement obviously.

Why Rose killed her father? It's a mercy killing. Why not Perv? He's just another pawn in this story.

The only thing that makes no sense is Cid over 9000 luck, and that shit belong on the comedy part.

trope achievement do you really think he really give that much shit about her, i don't think so and then why to kill him in front of her could do it without her and aske her to do anything he want and could help her

i know she killed her father for mercy but then there wasn't any other way to save him,like she get better for possession of that seed and still

not killing perv, whose pawn he is, i don't think cid need him nor rose, cause other wise she would have plan for everything , not thinking twice before joining shadow, cid didn't kill him cause he don't give f*ck about him but why rose didn't kill him that's what im saying

Umm i don’t think it was suppose to make sense, shadow is a chunnibyou who talks the talk but can also surprisingly walk the walk which kinda goes against the chunnibyou character role, he gas lit an elf and it all happened to be real i think it kinda says the story can go anywhere just bcuz

i would say you should probably avoid anime shows where the mc is a chunnibyou character bcuz shadow is one and the show is off his perspective but luckily everything just happens to be real for him, otherwise i think most chunnibyou characters are similar to cid except it’s not real and is just over exaggerated imagination and the story can go wherever bcuz it’s all the imagination of the chunnibyou

I may be wrong but that’s basically the role of a chunnibyou main character i think ofc imo

This show is not meant for you to take it so seriously. If you don't like it, just skip it, since this show is either hit or miss for someone who watched the show.

what's actually ironic is that there's a plot, it's SG vs C. O. D and how the cult had been manipulating things from the background for years to seize control but the only one who doesn't notice it is the mc himself and that'd why it is the way it is. It's what makes this show fun as we're watching a pov of a person who has NO IDEA that there's a plot and he isn't randomly fighting powerful people and bsing his way through while fulfilling all his fantasies.

Yeah, cid doesn't need rose or perv but...

Spoiler:

There are currently 666 members in the shadow garden, and among them, only 7 shadow members got direct power from cid. And the rest didn't have cid's power. The seven who got direct power are way more powerful than other members and if you saw anime you should know rose also got direct power from cid only, making her the 8th person to have cid's power.

So at that time, the main goal was to recruit rose not to kill perv, if even perv was killed there it would be still meaningless. Instead keeping him alive will make his debut again later, with a different approach.

Exactly! That’s what makes it interesting. CID is just playing a game and he’s the only one who doesn’t know it’s real.

bro nah He has no idea about anything, not perv not anybody else. He just came to defend her with his "cool" entrance lmao. He has NO IDEA who's the one pulling the strings from behind (perv).

As far as rose killing perv is concerned she didn't have enough time to do so and would have probably failed cuz perv himself is a master swordsman as mentioned by iris. Also she already tried it once in the ep before and realized she'd only get one opportunity before she gets caught and used it against her father so the cult would lose their puppet.

Ik you're defending the show but personally I think all of yall need to watch the show again properly. Binge watch cuz weekly episodes makes it easy to forget plot points.

The mc wasnt so powerful and a freaking deluded chuunibyou
The sister wasnt such a brother cock hungry bitch
Cars in the anime (this world seems far more Advanced than ours so why Ar there no cars?)
The cult of whatever to be a serious threat to even shadow garden

Because killing Perv doesn't solve anything, the cult will replace him with another person. While killing the king means cult doesn't have legitimacy to fully control Oriana anymore since Rose is the crown princess and there's anti Perv noble faction. And why Shadow is saving Rose? It's simple, because he doesn't want her to upstage his Jimina hijinks on the tournament. Seriously people need to pay attention properly while watching this show.

I’ve seen a lot of people on multiple threads here saying shit like this and i just like fundamentally do not understand how you can watch 20 episodes of an anime series and manage to miss the literal premise of the show. There is a story line, he wants to be the ‘eminence in shadow’, a cool background shadow character who controls the main characters on their quest to defeat the bad guy. it’s a vague goal i’ll admit, alot more than “i’ll become the wizard king/ hokage” which is a lot more digestible, but if you can’t link the obvious motivations behind his actions in order to achieve that goal, and how those link together to form a narrative through line, then just say you didn’t like it and move on. just because you’re too fucking dumb to recognise the basic outline of the plot doesn’t mean it’s bad. i didn’t think it was like excellent the whole way through, but the POINT OF THE SHOW IS THAT ITS HIS FANTASY.

He doesn't care that much, that's why he's still roleplaying to aim for the trope, however he still kinda feels bad about it, that's why he killed him the same way as her mother.

There wasn't any other way yes and that's why it's a mercy killing while stopping the plan.

The cult pawn obviously, do you even watch the show? Perv is merely a pawn for them but he's still strong, not to mention there are tons of strong people in the arena, while Rose is alone. She doesn't want to risk it the same way she did before.

I mean, realizing this series isn't well written is ok, but people will tell you "it's comedy bro" and just dismiss what you said. Just rate the anime low and let it be, and you even seem to dislike Cid which I don't think I have an actual problem at all, so you are probably in worse terms with this series than me.

The whole point is Cid/Shadow is completely obvious to everything that is happening around him - the fact he "fabricated" the Cult of Diablos & founded the massive harem of Shadow Garden waifus which turns out to be 100% accurate, or leave antagonists alive, mentally break many of the girls he meets...he does it all because he's brokenly OP & does whatever he thinks is awesome for the "rule of cool".

This is MEANT to be a parody of the hidden heroes support which always disappear into the background while the MC is doing hero things, which is why he's insistent on only showing up as Shadow during opportune moments to play up his persona, then promptly disappear without notice & explanation in a a flash.

This is the punchline.

There's a lot of comedic moments in the anime, but it's often missing some detail/context from the LN, and most of it is pretty deadpan.

I just see this series, both the novel and anime, to be comedic attempt to make fun of isekai tropes. From that lense, I can enjoy it quite well.

man you are not getting point at all im saying why rose didn't kill him cause he was the cause of everything still she killed her father but not one who make all this mess

Because killing Perv doesn't solve anything, the cult will replace him with another person. While killing the king means cult doesn't have legitimacy to fully control Oriana anymore since Rose is the crown princess and there's anti Perv noble faction. And why Shadow is saving Rose? It's simple, because he doesn't want her to upstage his Jimina hijinks on the tournament. Seriously people need to pay attention properly while watching this show.

i don't think she was concerned about cult from the start but killing her father was okay but why she didn't go revenge, like prev was the person who make all this mess so why not? she was gonna take her life any way so why not even try?

It sounds like you were hating on this show before the halfway point yet you still finished it? It obviously wasn't for you, I will never understand people who force themselves to watch something they hate, use that time to watch something you personally enjoy.

it wasn't like that all but some moments were good and everyone was saying its really so i was hoping ending will be good but last 2 episode just feel like this is not how it should end

When i first start watching this anime, it feels pretty good but then it was just time pass like so many things make no sense, like no real story line, or what he wants, Sometimes i feel story written by some little child based on her fantasies, like playing dark hero and showing off, overpowered, adding new girls character which holds no meaning.i didn't get single moment where i can say damn it's fucking great. There were so many things which were total mess like he killing that old man in front of that pink hair girl like what was the need that moment could have been more better, and in the end also rose killing his father not that basterd perv, only thing i like was the way he says the dialogue of his moves nothing else but still i didn't come to like cid not at all, it was like making ideal isekai anime with nothing as base story, like every last character was meaning less.So in the end you dont feel attached to anime instead of that i just start disliking it, and man even the end scene were so frustrated.
It seems like the author wrote something which he thought was unique and after some time realized it was as generic as thousands of other isekais out there so he tried to convince his readers that it was intentional and called it a parody as some of the users try to justify the shittyness of it.

Don't talk about the author if you know nothing at all about them, the show is marketed as a misunderstanding serious comedy, it was never a "parody" to begin with.

Filtered. None with more than 3 braincells will take this show seriously.

Say, if we take out Cid focus from the story, Eminence in Shadow became a story about a bunch of strong girls with secret identity fighting secret organisation that rules the world from behind.
Or in another word a magical girl show set in medieval fantasy Europe with Shadow as a Tuxedo Mask-like character.
Even with Cid focus, there's not many shows beside Overlord that has this kind of misunderstanding comedy. If it's as generic as you say, it should be easy to list at least 5 other show that are like this, which is not

It seems like people who called Eminence of Shadow generic isekai are just unable to comprehend the plot. And they insult others who enjoys the show as defense mechanism for their inability
