Fall 2022 is going to be a huge anime season, and fans of isekai anime will have their share in the hype! The Eminence in Shadow looks like an interesting addition to a great season, so here's all you need to know about The Eminence in Shadow Episode 1, including its release date, time, and more!

The Eminence in Shadow: What Is It About?

We've seen plenty of isekai anime with an OP main character, but what if a character had no interest in becoming an overpowered hero?

Well, The Eminence in Shadow is that kind of isekai -- but don't worry if you're tired of villain protagonists too, because this isn't what our main character wants to be either.

Cid Kagenou doesn't seem to care about morality and power all that much.

Instead, his dream is to be a puppetmaster in the shadows; the mastermind behind every major event that happens.

In his previous life in contemporary Japan, Cid didn't manage to become the mastermind he dreamed to be, but he gets another chance.

Reincarnated in a magical world, Cid fakes an organization that he names "Shadow Garden" and recruits individuals to help him defeat a mysterious cult, aiming to be the mastermind behind everything that happens and show the true eminence of shadows.

At first glance, this doesn't look all too different from your typical isekai anime.

However, a marked difference is that we expect something a bit more clever than brutal force here.

To put it plainly, those people who prefer to be rogue types rather than warriors in RPGs are likely to appreciate this anime.

If you're looking for further reading in anticipation of the show's premiere, it's based on a light novel series written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tōzai.

There is also a manga adaptation of the light novels, which are illustrated by Anri Sakano, if you're looking for even more content!
