Misunderstanding genre isekai, OP MC, Evil Neutral MC I think? And also Mastermind MC. Of course, our MC has loyal subordinates. This two are quite the same but with different types of approaches.
The thing is if you like Overlord then you can easily enjoy The eminence shadows. And also the other way around. That's it
OP MC, they have powerful servants, and their servant always misinterpret the MC thinking he is highly intelligent where he only means the very simple things.
amazingly written overpowered protagonist with a story that differs greatly from the average isekai.
Both are isekai featuring a male main character with uncommensurable power. the strongest being of the entire world.
In both anime the main character acts in disguise, cautiously in Overlord, completely hiding his identity in Kagejitsu
In both the main character is the headmaster of a great organization which acts in the shadow, and where every underling, despite not as the mc, is extremely powerful.
The organization features a wide variety of races, every member is completely loyal to the master, in particular the female members are in love or attracted by him, so the organization is also a huge waifu harem, especially Kagejitsu where it is entirely

Lurks in the shadow and let your subordinates do the work.
If you like this kind of isekai anime, then you would definitely enjoy Overlord too!
Both have similarities:
-Both MCs seek power (Of course, Overpowered MC)
-Prideful to oneself, making them overlord with their own anime.
-Badass subordinates, absolute loyal to their master.
-Both have their harem lol.
-Interesting plot

Both are Isekais that have great comedy moments and amazing story buildings.
Although Overlord takes a long time to build a narrative, Eminence makes a parody of several Isekai narratives and at the end delivers a well rounded experience.
I was truly hooked into it from day 1 and now that it has ended, I am writing a recommendation of sorts.
Upsides :
Waifus - Both animes have top tier waifus and you can't decide which one is the best one.
MC - Both MC are OP and have their loyal admirers

Both are isekai series with an OP main character who's a chuuni acting like a bad guy who gets a group of followers who don't get his joke and follow him with praises completely seriously.

- Both have OP MC.
- Even the characters who work under both the MCs are OP as hell.
- Both the MCs couldn't comprehend the plot, yet the storyline moves forward without a
hitch.
- There are a whole lot of misunderstandings and this just fuels the fun element.
- banger op/ed song
- action/fantasy/isekai with good storyline
According to my taste, eminence in shadow is just the "slightly" better version of
Overlord.
Still if you liked any one of the given show, then it is a given that you will like the other
as well.

Both are Isekai, both have strong subordinates, are similar in goals and attitudes, funny scenes are sometimes seriously mixed. But with the main hero of the brick head, who is considered by all subordinates to be a wonderful genius

Getting isekaid into another world with magic and op characteristics, having a mind-set of anti-protagonist, leading the combat maids at his disposal (one of the biggest similarity)......
In Eminence in shadow the MC is not extreme to Overlord's level but getting more power and dominance is agreeable to both of them. The Mc of Eminence was kinda like batman in his previous life (traing his body & mind and fighting to keep the peace) but in his next life he's more trying to gain control like Overlord using magic as his main source of power.
Eminence in shadow covers the one and only flaw of overlord anime

Both have an op mc, in another world. Also, both have a group they lead, and most importantly, they even have a chibi get-together by the studio.
i really believe you'll like them :)
Overpowered (doofus) main characters who are isekai'd but their past life holds little relevance to their new life. Shadow in eminence is a lot more directly satirical but both are comedic.
If you like the comedy of the floor guardians seeing ainz as this unrivaled genius while in reality he's way out of his depth and getting through with luck and bluffs. You might like the eminence in shadow, because a very similar thing happens there. Though instead of the protag actively pretending to be the supreme leader their subordinates think they are, they have no clue what's going on 90% of the time and think that everyone is just "playing along" with him, unaware that the fantasy he thought he had made up was true the entire time.

The Eminence in Shadow is far inferior to Overlord in many ways, but they both contain the incredibly specific trope of a guy being reincarnated into a fantasy world where he suddenly gains much power and many subordinates, and as a result he has to keep up the act of a perfect and all-knowing leader (when he is really no such thing).

Very Similiar. Both have an OP MC stuck in an isekai that try to look basass and lead some sort of faction. Both have banger OP's too and each character is tryna have thier change in the politics of their world.
Though similiar these are some differences
The Eminence in the Shadow-
Mc has harem of girls
Mc a lil dumb
Goal of the show it too be badass
truck-kun kills bro
Plot Direction can be random
Overlord
Mc has a succubus that wants bro AND THEY EDGE US WITH SOME SORT OF SCENE OF HER BEING DESPERATE FOR AINZ IN THE START OF EVERY SEASONS FIRST EP 😭
Mc is not that dumb as
