Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! 2nd Season

"We only have so much time, and so much effort. So I dedicated all of my time and effort to what mattered, and got rid of everything else."

These days for me, I tend to lose interest in a lot of shows after their first season (maybe because it was rushed or maybe it was simply that the concept was good but the progression got stale or boring). We all only have a limited amount of time, some people more than others, so should you spend your own precious time watching this? In short, yes, assuming you have watched season 1 this season builds upon the ... previous season perfectly in its own way. Usually I will give every season a chance and just stop watching it if I lose interest, however for me the Eminence in Shadow season 2 was just as fun to watch as season 1.

Does it deliver on animation?
Yes

Does it deliver on world building and story progression?
Yes

Would I watch any of it on the plane ride while the 10 is sitting diagonally behind me?
No...

Everyone's sense of humor is different, so some people will enjoy the cringy things Cid does and others might find it repulsive. However in my opinion the execution of the stereotypical events and tropes are done in a way that feels fresh and enjoyable especially when compared to many other shows in the genre. Not only that, but whenever I watch an episode, it doesn't feel like there are excessive wastes of time even during the filler episode.

One of the things I was most surprised about was that the animation remained consistently clean and story pacing remained at a good speed like in season 1. A lot of series tend to fall off because they stray from the art style or pacing from the first season (not gonna name any names... but a certain isekai to do with a shield), but this series remained very true to the source material. Barely any content was cut and some scenes were only modified slightly. In fact, one of the biggest deviations from the source material was simply that a fight was supposed to seem closer but anime-Cid beat them faster and easier. All in all, this was one of the main things that I think makes it worth watching.

Something to note however is that characters that get introduced are almost always supposed to parallel a cliche, which I think are quite funny and enjoyable to watch but maybe some people might not agree as much with me. For example, I might find the Soopah Eleeto Ay jent John Smith to be funny but another person might just find him cringy. From me and my friends' experience, it is easy to enjoy the series if you try not to take any of it too seriously.

The biggest thing I could see people not enjoying the series for would be that it often expects you to just accept that some big misunderstandings will never be resolved. If you aren't able to find a way to still enjoy it with that in mind, by all means don't continue with the series as it would just not be for you. There are many other shows out there that might appeal to you better, but, if you are able to get over it then that issue won't matter. In fact, I think being able to accept that misunderstandings are at the core of the series will allow you to enjoy the series even more.

If I were to rate each aspect of the show out of 10, I would probably give the story a 9, characters 9, art/animation 9, sound 10, and enjoyment 10 (tbh 11). To explain the rating for sound, I just think rarely do I ever think of a show and think of the background from a good scene rather than the op/ed (FYI the piece I am thinking of is called In Time of War).

Now, the time to watch Eminence in Shadow is ripe. We are out of time... The frenzy has begun.

At this point, you'd either have to be an unreasonable hater, or living under a fragment of a rock to not have experienced The Eminence in Shadow first hand and still call yourself even moderately aware about Anime. Whether you actually like it, that's obviously up for debate. Though the general consensus is, it is really entertaining and fun to watch.

Plot: It picks up right where it left you, and then proceeds straight towards the tower of Bab... Well, about that, it proceeds straight to Renaissance Zom 100 in Gotham, with female Van Helsing around the prowl to fulfill her duty as an warrior and ... guardian. Now, Run, if you value your life. The frenzy has begun. We are out time. The moon is red. The hour of awakening is near. We have very little time remaining. Right!?

Character: Without a doubt, the characters are the soul of this Anime. Without the way they are, it'd be dull, boring and utterly uninspired. Though, as they are, they are the very definition of entertainment. And now, we have lady Van Hellsing, Lady Kitsune, and Violence Bro Juggernaut, Mancreep Onehander, and many more as the new additions to the already star studded and padded line up.

Animation: The animation quality is solid and sustained, it is well maintained from the first season. The action scenes hit exactly as they should, the atmosphere is exactly as it should be, and the lighting is precise to the theme. Even still frames and slow motion shots look chalk full of quality. No complaints here at all.

Music: The music is never going to stand out much because of what is happening on screen, though what is happening on screen can be significantly affected by the music. For instance, every time Cid is hauled away by his Sister, or he does something un-Shadow like, a quirky tavern music starts playing, which makes it more entertaining. Every time Shadow does something cool, his unique theme starts playing, again making it more iconic. The point being, the music here suits what the Anime is, it rarely takes the spotlight, but keeps on enhancing the effect the other things have.

Names: I've just got a separate section for the names of things and characters in this Anime. Not everyday do you get to hear someone named Jimina Seinen(Mundane Man) or Sentou Huro (Imatry Nottaloos) and so on. This is too good not to have a separate mention by itself.

Enjoyment: I'd be lying if I said I'm not enjoying the living daylights out of it. As a matter of fact all of the people I know that watch Anime, even some that don't find it hilariously entertaining. You'd have to try really hard not to enjoy something this good to be honest. Yes, it's cringe. Yes, it's laughable. But, also yes, it's a great piece of entertainment. It's a parody of what the real thing is. So lap it up while it lasts.

it will have spoilers but with the way i am writing it you will prob not understand a thing

Overall: (10/10)
Peak isekai watch season 1 and then watch season 2

This anime continues to effortlessly blend top-tier meta-satire with phenomenal, epic visuals and displays of power, and somehow persists to be one-of-a-kind when it doesn't seem so different from it's peers in the isekai/fantasy genre. The plot direction is surprisingly spotless and really quite admirable. It's impossible to guess where the story is going, but it just works out perfectly while bringing you to a new, unexpected course. All of this allows for one of the most easily enjoyable experiences in anime history.

But:

Regardless of how flawlessly executed this is, it doesn't present with any astounding narrative that links to a theme or message. It hardly ... delves into any of these points that make for some of the greatest stories, so if looking for a genius story that accomplishes these things, I would never look to this, which is again, why it is one of the most *easily* enjoyable experiences, not one of the most enjoyable experiences anime has to offer.
The Eminence in Shadow is a tremendous achievement that, to me, will probably stay the greatest anime that I would categorize as "junk food". It is a ball of fun. A simplistic, but very FUN ball of fun.

I honestly don't know how this anime does what it does.

Looking at it from afar, it seems to be one of the most generic power-fantasy isekai, harem, tropey, cliché animes that has aired in recent years.
Honestly speaking, this anime is exactly that, but it knows it's that, it wants to be that and it cranks it all up to 11, to become one of the most enjoyable iterations of that premise that has come out in quite a few years now - and season 2 just keeps it going.

Cid is still an absolutely clueless idiot, going around doing whatever he wants in the name of ... making his dream come true - while somehow stumbling into plots and ideas set-up by the far more "in-tune" members of both his group and also the outside world - all of which makes him appear to be the person he eventually wants to be - some crazy intelligent man-wizard who has his eyes and ears everywhere at all times, while being in the shadows.

This anime is so over-the-top that even farcical doesn't cover it, but the comedic value of the writing and portrayal send this anime into heights yet unseen by the masses of trash that pour-out year-on-year.
It is a magnum opus of power-fantasies and isekai.

If you've watched and enjoyed other shows in the same vein, such as "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord", you will love watching S1 and S2 of "Eminence in Shadow".

Personally giving this a 9; I think S2 is just under S1 in terms of raw enjoyability, but both are worthy of this score.

The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 makes a triumphant return, offering a captivating anime experience that keeps us engaged with its unique blend of elements. The season maintains the winning mix of clever humor, thrilling action, and a touch of lightheartedness that made the first season enjoyable.

The show's clever humor, stemming from its complex plot, adds an extra layer of enjoyment. While the plot can be perplexing at times, this complexity contributes to the show's humor and keeps viewers entertained as they unravel the story's intricacies. The well-executed action sequences maintain the high standard set by the first season, providing excitement for fans of action-packed ... anime.

The musical score deserves recognition for enhancing comedic moments and the overall atmosphere.

This show's ability to balance serious and comedic elements is a testament to its brilliance. Cid's chunnibyou delusions add a distinctive layer of entertainment, making it a dramatic and deep storyline, yet a parody and comedic meme all at once. Truly amazing work.

Sasuga, Shadow-Sama!

At the first season the plot was too hard for me to grasp but over the time got the plot and it's very well anime in the new season and it's a blast.
It is predictable most of the time, hero has the ultimate power to fix everything problem sound cliche. Even than it great to see character grow and give some spectacular visuals worth the time.

The art isn't new could have been better we have seen better quality in many anime.
Main character has every spice anyone need.

I can definitely recommend this to everyone it has badass mc overpowered girls

In the second season, 'Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!' delivers a captivating continuation of the story that conveys a sense of empowerment. If you enjoyed the first season, you'll find this one equally engaging.

Exciting Plot: The story picks up right where it left off, immersing viewers in a world of mystery and action. It offers an exhilarating experience, keeping you invested in the characters and their evolving challenges. The narrative intensifies, raising the stakes and building anticipation.

Character Depth: The characters remain a strong point, with new additions like Lady Van Helsing, Lady Kitsune, and Violence Bro Juggernaut enhancing the ensemble. Their charisma and development add ... depth to the story, making their journeys worth following.

Average Animation: The animation quality doesn't stand out, but it doesn't significantly hinder the overall experience. It serves its purpose, allowing the story to unfold without major issues, even if it doesn't reach visual excellence.

Unremarkable Soundtrack: Unfortunately, the soundtrack doesn't leave a lasting impression. It fulfills its role but doesn't stand out as a memorable component of the series.

Creative Names: The series maintains its creativity in naming characters and elements, adding a unique charm to the world it portrays.

Enjoyable Experience: "Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! 2nd Season" offers a pleasant and engaging journey. It weaves exciting adventures, humor, and mysteries into each episode, creating a sense of anticipation for what comes next.

In essence, this season provides a satisfactory continuation of the story, offering intrigue and a sense of empowerment. It builds upon the foundation established in the first season, providing an engaging experience for fans.

Rating: 10/10 - An anime for those who dwell in the shadows and hunt the shadows.

Kagejitsu season 2 is an improvement in every way over the first season. Partly due to the LN arcs it covers being the best in the series, and partly due to Nexus taking their production quality to the next level. All the while retaining the same comedic misunderstandings, loveable characters and Cid that we’ve come to know and love.

Kagejitsu manages to be both an excellent commentary on the isekai genre and exemplary of it at the same time. It’s fully aware of the tropes that have been done to death in recent years, makes fun of them and in the process, manages to pull them ... off perfectly. OP MC ✅ Hot girls in love with mc ✅ evil shadow organisation working in the background to take over the world ✅. All of these things are given to us at least 10x a season these days, yet this series is proof it’s not about what you do, but how you do it.

Cid has become one of the anime community’s favourite characters in the last year, and for good reason. He basically acts as a stand in for all of us, observing the usual isekai tropes, laughing at them and embracing them. He doesn’t take himself seriously and sees the entire world as a game, whereas everyone around him sees it as a matter of life and death. It’s such a refreshing experience to have a main character who isn’t trying to be a traditional “good guy” but just does what he wants, when he wants it. That sometimes works to the benefit of others, but sometimes it doesn’t. Even his own allies have been the victims of his selfish whims at times, and I love it.

Part of what makes isekai stale in the eyes of many, is you can take any MC from any series and drop them in another and you’d notice no difference. That’s not how a story should be. The main characters should be the sun, around every other character and plot point rotates. If you change that character, it should intrinsically change the story. For example, putting Naofumi from Tate no Yuusha in this story would weaken it. Putting Cid into Tate no Yuusha would strengthen it. The author’s done an amazing job at crafting a truly unique main character and that’s the biggest selling point.

This season in particular, sees a lot of that taken to the next level. Cid has several plots that his subordinates completely misunderstand and it leads to these absolutely hilarious moments that left me crying of laughter. Even when he doesn’t act, his subordinates see it as an act and will try to interpret his inaction. It’s just a really unique viewing experience that I wish more authors would try to implement. I love isekai unabashedly, but some variety in the genre would be great. Some more commentaries on fantasy worlds, characters who aren’t so down horrendously they’ll chase after every girl, etc., would be nice!

Like I said earlier, the arcs this season covers are just great. They’ve got more action and twists than last season, introduce some cool new characters, shed light on the villains of the story and give us a new direction to follow. I believe this is the author’s first major series and you can really see him getting better with each arc. The Oriana arc being my favourite of this season with some genuinely emotional parts.

Production values are also through the roof. The animation, direction, art, character designs, they’re all spectacular. While we know Cid is going to win every fight he’s in, they still make those fights interesting and exciting through their use of visual effects. The final fight of this season being a great example.

Over the top, wacky, great world building, a one of a kind MC. It should come as no surprise this series is as popular as it is. It’s one of the few extremely hyped series that deserves every bit of praise heaped on it. I am very excited to see what they do in the upcoming movie.

Kagejitsu season 2 gets a very easy 10, out of 10

I don't think there's any anime out there that can work with the most shameless and blatant storytelling, while somehow being very enjoyable to watch. The Eminence in Shadow in its premise holds a recipe for disaster in its hands, an MC that is a Deus Ex Machina in literal skin, a dedicated harem that also acts as the main fan service of the show, every single episode has boobs being shoved to you whenever any girl is involved, one of the antagonists of this season, continuing from previous season, is named Perv Asshat, while the most chaotic shit happens with everyone exposing their underlying ... motives at the last minute possible. Yet, here I am, praising this anime for the amount of gall it had to pull this off, which also happens to be Nexus' best production as of today. To describe it in a statement, it's an anime that works for all the wrong reasons possible. So why does it work?

The whole identity of The Eminence in Shadow is a parody disguised as an isekai fantasy anime. Which makes actual sense for the extremity of these characters. Cid in his normal days tries to be as insignificant as possible to the point he's letting himself get bullied by actual nobodies, while his shadow persona has him acting as the plot, this is no longer a character anymore, the man is the plot himself. He goes out of his way to spout the edgiest shit in his new world, which never fails to entertain me. It's like having your friend just telling the wildest story ever seen by humankind, but it's so entertaining that you can't seem to look away for a second. It's difficult to elaborate, but I believe the author intended to write them this way, which is why the characters interacting with each other are so goofy and amusing to watch.

When you have these wild characters on display for a fantasy that actually holds a candle in world-building, it's later complemented with some of the best performances from the VAs of this show. It's not every day you hear Cid's other persona, John Smith, was voiced by Jun Fukuyama, who literally brought his Lelouch's performance in this new adaptation of The Eminence in Shadow. Not to leave this one out, but Nexus has always been keen on drawing pretty expressive angry faces whenever conflict surfaces in the anime, and it works to great effect in this one knowing the crazy shit that happens in this anime.

While most of the show is focused on conversations (that's why Nexus takes the time to put in fanservice while they're at it), the action is not bad either. It's still Nexus' product, so you're expecting the same level of quality with still shots and a bit of movement during clashes, but that's it, really. During clashes, they exchange words and reveal more details happening in the lore of The Eminence in Shadow, though it's always revealed by Cid's tendency to say the right thing at the right time. In Cid's words, fights are also a part of communication and happen every then. It is formulaic, but it does so with almost perfect execution.

What do I have to conclude? The Eminence in Shadow S2 is an almost perfect experience of an already good prequel with craziness being amped up even further, expanding the lore without sacrificing the chaotic charm it has, all the while providing some excitement and entertainment with tip-top voice acting from the cast. The swimsuit episode was unnecessary, yes, but it's great for all the people who want a parody of an isekai anime or anyone who has returned for more of The Eminence in Shadow.

So what can I say... Hmm not everyone's cup of tea but I like this tea☕ 😂😂... Hmm just something different from casual genric animes and I like it because it's uniqueness. And other fact that Is i love harem anime but that is different story as I have my standards too 😤. Anyways characters are pretty likeable, story is well written have enough twist and turns to keep you engaged, art,style are unique and different most likable parts are black character designs for characters not only that have a bit above the average action sequences and last but not least comedic element in this ... anime is good enough for me considering fact that "comedy is subjective"... That's enough I will be wrapping review here, Bye 👋

The second season of the eminence in shadow is quite similar to the first one, which considering the first season was enjoyable is a good thing.

The story starts off a bit slower and is a bit more boring for a while but afterwards it picks up again and is fun to watch. The main conflict is still between shadow garden and the cult. It's fun to see how the world changes based on what shadow says but it also manages to change in ways to mess with shadow himself which is quite fun to see.

The characters are the same as in the first ... season with some different side characters. The voice acting, animation and sound are all similar to or the same as in the first season.

Overall there isn't much to say about the second season because it is almost exactly what you'd expect the second season of this anime to be. It literally just continues the story with basically everything remaining the same. It's pretty hard to dislike the sequel if you liked the original anime.

I am happy with his current progress, I think the fiction he is trying to establish is good. Even though I don't like OP characters very much, it suits this character very well. He is a teenage character but he makes you watch. Their self-serving behavior creates a butterfly effect and a different course of events emerges, albeit unintentionally.
It's like playing an RPG game :) Some people may not like this.
They may find it particularly dry and noisy. I can say that it is an anime that fits the definition of tastes and colors.
Are there any errors?
That's why I gave it ... 8 points. I think fiction can still reach its full potential.
It does a better quality of the fiction that the Overlord anime tries to do.
The Overlord knocked me out after a while and it started happening again.
This issue still poses a threat in the show.

Dunno what some people are complaining about, this shit is goated. The isekai genre has become very diluted and most of the shows nowdays are complete garbage not worth your time. This just stands out with the worldbuilding and endless scheming. The characters are written bery well and they and their stories are well incorporated in the story. Not forgetting about the animation, it's so good too. And the music and effects make the atmosphere in the action awesome. If you came here for something vey niche and artsy shit and are complaining gtfo, it's an isekai with an op black haired stereotype mc. It's ... meant to be dumb, fun and playful and it hits every mark in that regard. Get your head ot your ass and enjoy the madness.
10/10

The Eminence in Shadow is a popular isekai anime series that is known for its unique take on the genre, its over-the-top action, and its hilarious comedy. The second season of the anime has recently premiered, and it is even better than the first season in many ways.

Improved Animation and Special Effects

One of the most noticeable improvements in the second season is the animation and special effects. The first season was already well-animated, but the second season takes things to a new level. The action scenes are fluid and dynamic, and the special effects are simply stunning.

Character Development

The characters in the second season also receive ... more development, especially Cid. In the first season, Cid was mostly a one-dimensional character who was obsessed with being a shadow ruler. However, in the second season, we get to see more of his human side. He starts to form closer relationships with the other characters, and he even shows signs of vulnerability.

More Romance

Another improvement in the second season is the amount of romance. While the first season was mostly focused on action and comedy, the second season introduces more romantic elements between Cid and the other supporting characters. This is a welcome change, as it adds more depth and complexity to the relationships between the characters.

Bro-Con Sister

One of the most interesting character developments in the second season is the relationship between Cid and his sister, Claire. Claire has always been very protective of Cid, but in the second season, her protectiveness starts to border on bro-con territory. This is a hilarious and heartwarming development, and it adds a new layer of humor and drama to the story.

More Serious Tone

Compared to the manga version, the anime adaptation of The Eminence in Shadow is more serious in tone. The manga version is known for its overabundance of Cid's jokes, but the anime tones down the humor a bit in favor of a more serious and dramatic tone. This is not a bad thing, as it helps to create a better balance between the action, comedy, and drama in the story.

Overall Recommendation

Overall, The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 is a significant improvement over the first season. The animation and special effects are better, the characters have more development, there is more romance, and the sister complex is a hilarious addition. The anime also has a more serious tone than the manga, which creates a better balance between the action, comedy, and drama.

If you are a fan of isekai anime, or if you are just looking for a good anime to watch, then I highly recommend The Eminence in Shadow Season 2. It is one of the best isekai anime series ever made, and it is sure to entertain you from start to finish.

Additional Thoughts

In addition to the above, here are some other things that I enjoyed about The Eminence in Shadow Season 2:

The new characters introduced in this season are all great, especially the members of Shadow Garden.
The world-building in the anime is excellent. I love learning more about the different factions and organizations in this world.
The music and sound design are top-notch. The OP and ED songs are both catchy, and the sound effects are very immersive.
The anime is self-aware and often breaks the fourth wall to make jokes. This is a lot of fun, and it helps to make the anime even more enjoyable.
Overall, The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 is a must-watch for fans of isekai anime and comedy anime in general. It is a well-made anime with great animation, characters, story, and music. I highly recommend it.

Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute returned with its long-awaited second season, based on a cliffhanger from the first season that showed that the war between Shadow Garden and the Cult of Diablos would begin, in addition to all the apprehension involving vampires. finally in its most intense section, despite this being the most tense part of these 12 episodes, we have relevant events before this occurs with a lot of depth, explanation and exciting fights.

Kage is initiated in the hook of the city of Lawless City, Red Light Districts, a poor community or better said, the place is a very poor outskirts, without any external ... assistance, a true chaos, due to the existence of large-scale poverty and the Organized crime has taken over the region, of which 3 stand out, including the vampire sect, whose objective is to bring the vampire queen back to life, but in addition to this group, there are 2 others who are also magical and mystical. Continuing, Cid Kagenou or Shadow is taken in collusion with his sister to this location.

Cid reasons and understands that if he really wants to support himself financially he will have a mission: to earn money in suspicious and at least dubious ways.

The next arc is to mischaracterize and modulate currencies or capital to prevent the growth of the Cult of Devils in the economy, as they ended up becoming big enough to compete with Shadow Garden's associated companies, I won't add it to avoid spoilers.

In the middle of all this, we have an episode focused on the rest of those commanded by Shadow, which I see as diverting the focus, unnecessary and useless to the plot, but even so, it was important to give more screen time to Beta, Epsilon, Delta and Alpha , a right point, because many of them did not receive the depth and prominence they deserved this season, ending up diminishing the importance of these characters, causing Shadow's associates to be neglected, one could say that, given the notoriety of all of them, a fact that contradicts little screen time.

After this part we enter a more extensive part, with the final climax and a hook for the film, this being the vampire arc, where we have a constancy and fluidity of dynamic fights, animations and choreographies improved in color, brightness, luminosity and shape. of powers reaching their peak, encompassing improvements in spells, explosions, the design of the characters remains at a stage of stability, without major intranscurrences or possible challenges regarding problems in maintaining equal dexterity.

My specific impressions of the continuation of Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute are based on the fact that the art and animation retained a quality equal to its predecessor, the humor continues to be one of the show's most considerable achievements, a work that makes fun of the isekais, even though he is one, makes satire and uses the factor of the protagonist being cold, calculating, but also obsessed with achieving his goals as a way to guide the story with mastery. The fights lost a little impact, due to having accelerated the original material, and handling reused animations, some characters had more emphasis, while others less, featuring uneven character development, something natural to occur, due to being difficult to understand. to better present the most relevant characters of the Shadow cult, in a matter of 12 episodes, this is something normal and takes time, and cannot be done in a sloppy way, solely because it would compromise the cohesion of the narrative.

Despite the disagreements, it was a good season, which leaves you eager for more and for the film, as it is always good to remember that the time of AWAKENING is approaching.
.

The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 offers a rollercoaster of entertainment, seamlessly blending humor, action, and unexpected twists. From the start, the series establishes a unique tone, highlighted by Cid's charismatic yet tactless character. The writing style maintains a perfect balance of wit and sincerity, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Each episode unfolds with a captivating narrative that keeps fans hooked, and character development shines as we witness both the comical and profound aspects of our protagonists. The chemistry within the Shadow Garden is a standout, creating a dynamic and endearing group bond.

The animation team deserves applause for their meticulous attention to detail, especially evident in ... the first episode, which sets the stage for a grand finale in Season 2. Despite any budget constraints, the animation remains impressive, complemented by stellar voice acting that brings the characters to life.

The season's climax, without giving away any spoilers, is a comedic masterpiece, showcasing the series' ability to blend absurdity with genuine moments. The plot's evolution from Cid's indifference to the deeper, emotionally charged elements keeps the narrative engaging and multifaceted.

In conclusion:

The show successfully builds upon the foundation laid in the first season, delivering a delightful and well-crafted continuation. With a perfect blend of humor, character dynamics, and unexpected developments, it leaves audiences eagerly anticipating the next installment. The upcoming movie, which takes us back to the anime's origins, adds an exciting dimension to the story. I can't wait to watch it!

Can't say why but like this show! I just do!

"The moon is red
The frenzy has begun
The time of awakening is near"

However, It is not necessarily a serious show or necessarily a complete comedy show although it is. Not many people will like this show I believe. Even I can't believe I like it enough to keep watching. This season specifically, liked the first arc with the vampire queen and liked some episodes of Mr. Smith arc. Found some episodes and some scenes boring though.

It is good when it is really good parody but boring when its not. Overall, I wouldn't call it a really ... good show like many others. But you can enjoy it for a parody show.

Shadow is back and he is as OP as ever. This time showing new schemes and more of his broken powers.

We follow Shadow and shadow garden through different arcs, that each put focus on different side characters and aspects of shadow. Which show some more details about specific side characters, shadow garden and shadows relation to them.

The plot still works much on the premise of Shadow seeing everything differently, and therefore misunderstand how everyone else sees his actions. This shows some interesting details about Shadow, but also the other characters and helps build both the character and the relations. The arcs shown are generally very ... interesting and are clearly made to show the interaction between Shadow and the world.

This season also shows some great world building, exploring more of the world and showing how big it is. This really helps showing how big some of the elements of the show truly are, and gives a better understanding of how powerful shadow garden and the cult is.

Though it is still very clear that they are playing on the aspect of this also being a parody on stereotypical isekais. This also limits how much character progression there is, but also needs to be kept in mind when something might seem off, since Shadow still sees it as a game while the rest does not.

The animation is still very smooth with some great details in the fight scenes. There is also a great focus on how all the different abilities are animated, both in and out of combat.

So overall it is a great continuation of the previous season, that sticks true to the action comedy this show is. Thereby i would definitely recommend this, if you liked the previous season.

This season was flawless, and I won't give away any spoilers about season 2. However, the final episode left me with chills and heightened anticipation for the upcoming movie (season 3). The main character is exceptionally well-suited for the show, and the viewing experience remains perfect, whether in Japanese or English. In my opinion, each character receives ample screen time, and I wouldn't alter anything about either season 1 or 2. The balance in character exposure feels just right, contributing to the overall satisfaction with both seasons. The only thing I'd tweak is making season 2, like, 20 episodes just like we had in season ... 1, ya know? But, like, overall, this season was legit perfect, and I'm so stoked for the new movie—I can't wait! 🙌
I do recommend watching this series.
