The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
| The manga is really funny with all the ironic chuuni and edgy moments without taking the le batman act seriously, but it seems this anime is adapting the Light Novel, which is almost always terrible. You think this anime will be like Kumo Desu Ga? Both have amazing manga, but decided to adapt the dry and boring LN. the very reason Kumo ended up as a total failure of an adaptation. |

| Yeah, because you seem like a completely unbiased source on the LN. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| LN adaptations are better than manga adaptations *in my opinion*. they give a lot of liberty to experiment with different ways to animate a scene. I too didn't like LNs in the past, but Now, I enjoy reading LNs just as much as reading mangas. |
| Where's the "why not both" option? Manga is doing a good job to visualize the comedy + adding exclusive jokes that could only work in a visual medium, however it stil left out some scenes & jokes. As a fan, I just read both. |

Well it's finally time to use this image. Manga adaptations of light novels are all trash and made for people who can't read. +the Kumo Desu manga is complete trash, just look how bad that cover art is compared to the LN's |

I have not read WNs though, I only read LNs~ After reading LNs, I struggle adapting to manga illustrations. I was laughing so hard at Reign Of Seven Spellblades cover page, it looks cringe. And manga can cut a lot of content from LN. Well, some anime also cut tons of content from LN (Toaru Majutsu No Index, Mushoku Tensei, Seirei Gensouki). My advice to new readers is to start from J-Novel Club LNs then slowly move on to Yen Press or Seven Seas LNs. JNC LNs tend to be easier to read while most big titles tend to be translated by Yen Press. The only downside to reading LN is waiting for a new volume, especially Yen Press. It took 10 months for Yen Press to translate Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Volume 4. >_> Well, JNC translate at a rate of one volume in 3 months~ I tend to prefer LN to manga as LN tends to have more engaging plot/characters. I still read some manga, but majority of them are spin-offs from big titles that are not adapted from LN. Some of my favourite mangas are Gundam Crossbone. |
| I don't know about the LN but I really love the manga. If LN was better than the manga, then I'll probably love it but I still haven't read the LN. So my answer would be "either" and there's no option for that. ┐( ˘_˘)┌ |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

That's just straight up not true. The light novel isn't an "unironic edgy chuuni generic isekai series", it's a comedy of the same type as the manga. The jokes in the manga came from the light novel, with the only difference being the presence of a visual representation. |

Manga adaptations of light novels are all trash and made for people who can't read. +the Kumo Desu manga is complete trash, just look how bad that cover art is compared to the LN's To be honest, the only manga adaptation that I thought was on the same level as the light novel (and better in some aspects) was Tensura. The art is amazing and it has some incredible manga original chapters. But aside from that particular case, I wholeheartedly agree. + yeah the kumo desu manga is absolutely terrible. |

LN was harder to track, had low accessibility, and almost 80% of the human population didn't use English or Japanese. Pretty picture was easier to swallow than boring wall of text. |
| Surprise. Episode 2 is also not funny and every joke and ironic moment are being played straight  Also surprise, Japan dislike too. But of course it's just le manga readers misinterpreting the LN right? or maybe the LN and the anime just sucked. hard.  |

| As an anime only, it’s really not that funny. It has its moments but hell, I laughed more at Overlord. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
GangsterCat said: I don't know why you have such a hate boner for the LN, they're doing a poor job adapting it, that's all there is to it. The manga is more over the top, almost gag comedy, so that would have probably been a smarter/easier direction to take the anime in, but the LN functions great as a black comedy fantasy in its own right. At the end of the day you only have the creators of the anime to blame here, not the source material. Also surprise, Japan dislike too. But of course it's just le manga readers misinterpreting the LN right? or maybe the LN and the anime just sucked. hard. |

| Lmao, Kumo Desu manga better than the LN. That’s the funniest shit I’ve ever read. Plus the adaptation didn’t flop, it was ultra popular in bilibili and surpassed even Re:Zero despite being made by a shitass studio with garbage animation. |
| Kumo was good and this is also good. |

| Kumo Desu manga was bad and incomplete adaptation, anime was a flop cuz the production/budget totally feel apart after episode 14, before, it was doing 100% fine. Flop in quality, still got lots of Bilibili views. (Actually the vast majority of LN manga adaptations are a disaster, Eminence, Rakudai Kishi and Machine Doll being the ones who I respect and are worthy their franchises. The others I saw were terrible.) And the novel is not "unironic edgy generic", they are just less over the top visually with the comedic part. Cid bullsh*tting on Alpha while looking around for clues to complete his nonsense was funnier than the manga version of that scene, at least to me. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Why would I ever vote in a poll like this? I may be breaking some news here, but this is an ANIME forum. Go find a manga or ln forum and ask them. ghoulcustomer said: Kumo was good and this is also good. Kumo was a great anime, pay no attention to trolls who say otherwise. |
