| Lets gooooooooooooooo!!!! Each arc gets better and better!! |
| Okay i'm hyped. I think the first season was fine. But ppl say it gets better and better, so i'm looking forward to watch it! |

| Felt inevitable with how S1 ended but great news nonetheless |
  |
| No signs of John Smith yet. Looks like it will only cover up to Red Moon arc. Waiting for Yen Press to translate Volume 5. >_> |
| So, the rumours were true. Very good. Very nice. Especially in the age of AI generated garbage Isekai, it is good, that we get a sequel to an actual decent one. |
 |
| Talk about not wasting a shred of hype. Announced it within a week. |
 |
| I'm hoping that the leak of s2 airing this fall is also true. |
 |
| Why is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe. |

| Really, the hype for "I Am Atomic" doesn't go away, hopefully it comes soon enough! |
 |
| This MC was so cringe to watch, that hurts my brain cells, I wonder who it gets so popular and hyped lmao |

AkaiBullet said: I never understood that whole "turn your brain off" thing, how do you even do that, how can you enjoy anything if your brain if off!? I can understand CGDCT is easier to watch since you don't have to think about the plot but harem isekai with op MCs are just way to cringe, can't help but think how idiotic the entire setup is.Maou_heika said: I guess it is just really accessible - you do not need to turn on your braincells - and people are having fun with that. If you turn them on though, it is just the same old boring op isekai formula you already know mixed with chunnibyou and harem...

| Can't wait. Most enjoyable show that I have watched this year. |
| It was only a matter of time, the blu-ray sold really well. I love the LN so I hope this second season is just as good as the first one. |
 |
| I'm hyped out of my mind for this....This series didn't disappoint in the slightest so I'm glad that it got a second season so fast |
Travis501 said: Yes, because ep 2 was cringe af, typical isekai crap, don't want to be a masochist and torture myself for another 18 episodes.Maou_heika said: you watched 2 episodes out of 20. The 1st episode didn’t even have anything to do with the 1st season and the 2nd episode was the intro to the MC and his “secret organization” you gave up before it even started And your here asking why it’s hyped?Why is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe. |

| Can't wait, the first season was so entertaining. Last episode was actually good which is pretty rare. Just hope the wait isn't too long. |
| LET'S GO! eminence in peak season 2!!! expected but still, very exciting. |
Maou_heika said: I think this is a bit misinformed so I guess I'll biteWhy is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe. I think the Eminence in Shadow is more similar to Code Geass than a typical isekai if anything, and the appeal is in the same vein. You've got a similar kind of secret organization setup where the main characters are not necessarily the good guys but rather fighting from the shadows under hidden identities, oftentimes against what'd be considered the established order of society. I also wouldn't really call it a harem either, yeah sure the other members of Shadow Garden are women but for the most part Cid and the others are acting separately from each other. Aside from one episode somewhere in the middle there is basically nothing in the way of fanservice shenanigans Also I think Cid himself is a big selling point for a lot of people. He is one of the most chuuni characters I've ever seen, to the point where it actually dictates the storytelling and isn't just a personality quirk. Now I can understand people also finding it cringey because it definitely is, but it's also quite entertaining |

Maou_heika said: This entire series is LITERALLY satire and the MC being a chuuni just adds to the comedy....That's why I love it a lot...The typical isekai stuff are just extra things to make the world feel more alive + add to the comedyTravis501 said: Yes, because ep 2 was cringe af, typical isekai crap, don't want to be a masochist and torture myself for another 18 episodes.you watched 2 episodes out of 20.

We have characters named fucking Perv Asshat and Mundane Man lmaoooooo....That and Cid was calling himself the Stylish Ruffian Slayer lol, this is comedy gold |
AnimeRacoon said: Already dropped it, like I mentioned earlier ep 2 was good enough to give an introduction to the characters and settings and it was your run of the mill isekai. Come back when the MC is not an OP cringelord and all the team members are not girls.Maou_heika said: Why is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe. Personally, I think this a weak stance. You don't have to like it, everyone has different tastes and that's cool, but forming AND sharing an opinion after watching 10% of a season is ridiculous. Found it cringe? Neat. Drop it and move on. The rest of us are excited. "That guy definitely committed the crime your Honor!" "You witnessed it?" "I saw him in the general area hours earlier, but then I left." "Riiight... So do any CREDIBLE witnesses have something to say?" |

| Great news for fans. There is nothing like ending a season to find out there will be more to come. Doesn't always work that way. |
Maou_heika said: This response tells me that you simply just didn't get it lol....I dunno how one can watch the first two episodes of this and think that this is going to be written as a typical isekai when clear as day, this whole thing is pure satire driven by a self aware chuuni that's just getting by on his random bullshit xDAnimeRacoon said: Already dropped it, like I mentioned earlier ep 2 was good enough to give an introduction to the characters and settings and it was your run of the mill isekai.

Tokoya said: The fact that a chuuni reincarnated into a world where he can fulfill his delusions is what typical isekai does which I found cringe in ep 2 so I dropped it.Maou_heika said: This response tells me that you simply just didn't get it lol....I dunno how one can watch the first two episodes of this and think that this is going to be written as a typical isekai when clear as day, this whole thing is pure satire driven by a self aware chuuni that's just getting by on his random bullshit xDAlready dropped it, like I mentioned earlier ep 2 was good enough to give an introduction to the characters and settings and it was your run of the mill isekai.

| Been making my way through season 1 so it's nice to know already that there will be more on the way once I finish. Lol typical MAL, pointless inane arguments going down in the forum because for some reason anime fans are incapable of fathoming the thought of people liking and enjoying things they might not personally like or enjoy. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Maou_heika said: and after reading every subsequent comment you made, it just carves into stone how ignorant you are. but to each their own. do continue to live in that insular bubble which seems to shield you from the fact that you can neither defend your position nor assail any others with such a staggeringly miniscule intellect. next time you wish to step forth into the public eye and wave your lack of knowledge about like a flag... do hesitate a moment and consider that the masses don't need to be exposed to such feeble minded blather.

just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| i'm glad to get this news! :D i enjoyed this show a great deal and i wish the staff and such all the best of health, wealth, and godspeed on their journey to completing S2! |

| Well that made my day can't wait for the second season, yea its cornie, yea its been done before, but anything that can manage to be this cornie and epic at the same time is fine by me. Personal tastes are Personal after all. |

Maou_heika said: It is to trashy power fantasies what Kami Nomi was to harem. A parody, but at the same time the best of it's kind. The balance is what makes it so good in my opinion. There are times I was laughing at the ridiculousness of it all, as much as there were times I was genuinely hyped.Why is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe. |

| Let's go i can't wait to realize s2 in fall 2023 but is great to get a sequel. |

RedChrome said: I'd understand that you didn't like the show but to rate it a 2? that's just plain bashing my dude, 5/10 or a 6/10 maybe I'd imagine a hater pov, the fight scenes alone gives it a great deal of a score, the OST was really good, the characters basically needs understanding what they are and what they represent in order to feel them if you just look at them and judge well "they're his harem" most ppl say and it's dumb to assume so, the story is not that amazing but it's still interesting and engaging, the animation wasn't sakuga worthy but at the same time it wasn't any less good, all of this wouldn't let this anime drop from a solid score of 7.6/10, at the end of the day ppl have opinions and tastes and at least unlike many others you actually stayed for the whole thing and that's great, it means you're more entitled to give an opinion about this anime than they'll ever will, have a good day/night mate.Nah this shitshow is not for me, its a pass |
