Kage just keeps on surpassing the levels of how epic and awesome it can get!

We've finally reached space-level attacks, the truly next level 'I Am Atomic'!


And that ending was something, so he teleported with that thing that spawned from the sky and got back to his real world. Which already is in a post-apocalyptic state with all the survivors grouped up, but my boy had to show up at the best time ever, as always xD

This season is even more than the first 10/10 i gave past season, i wish i could give 20/10 since this show deserves it so much, they always keep on delivering and always surpass your expectations, what a masterpiece that we are able to see, and enjoy guys, and gals.

Crazy but interesting exposition dump, this opens up a lot of new possibilities for the series now that Cid can technically get isekai'd infinite times.

The tease for the "return to Earth" arc, goddamnit can the movie come sooner

Shadow attempting to explain atomic reactions with this cool demeanor, only to dismiss it as style prevailing and casually obliterating the entire solar system, causing a fantasy Armageddon, was just... hilarious 😂.

But on a serious note, it's evident how much attention to detail the animators invested, crafting a first episode that only pays off in the season 2 finale. I am genuinely pleased with the anime's direction, down to the voice acting in this series. Even with a limited budget, I believe it was wisely utilized.

Shadow saving Akane again, but this time embodying the shadowy eminence he aspired to be, was a truly fantastic way to conclude this season! I absolutely loved it!!

Ragnarok didn't stood a chance before Cid (aka Shadow).
But he was warped to other world. Is it the same world he came from but with magic?

Waiting for the next season if there is...

😍 Alpha, Beatrix, Claire,😍 Delta, Epsilon,... are my favourite. 🥵😋

Thanks!

I mean I did enjoy the entire season, and knowing what happened here and there was very cool, but after seeing the characters do the same thing over and over again for two seasons it's become kinda meh. There are some really cool moments in the series but it happening over and over didn't help, continuous misunderstandings isn't supposed to be used as a plot device all the time, the production value also did kinda fall flat, most especially for the sound design aspect of things nearing the end, the animation was average to fine at best and the characters felt lifeless most of the time because they kinda all behave the same: typically douche villain, typically redemption female character, if anything I do commend it for how it sprinkles crazy logic and philosophy of how the world is here and there, but Cid becoming so engrossed in his own little world such that the things he says most of the time come of as dumb even when they carry weight. This affects the delivery of the shows message, well that is assuming there is one and it's not just a fun ride. I was disappointed nonetheless but the world building is interesting especially with that twist at the end, I'm going to see the movie, but I hope this doesn't make it a recurring something where they just announce a new season right after that as well. The studio could actually do better, and I know milking it's popularity is a right now before it fades is a good move, but I feel like them doing that makes the visuals for the show only average at best, and that's really alarming.

Have you seen how Victoria stare down Rose. It's straight up murder lol. Why she's so upset, her beloved shadow is playing with neighbours strongest bull dog, should she focus on how magnificent her shadow is, yet she still have time to engage a stare down contest.

This was such a good episode wow! The overall season was a let down but these final 2 episodes were worth it. Man that season 1 opening was just gold, that scene gave me chills. I hope the movie is good.
This whole episode was a throwback to the first episode of the first season which I really enjoyed.

The finale was awesome!!! It was obvious how everything was going to turn out (Cid decimating everyone) but the way the show does what it does, is what makes the anime unique.

This was an incredible season!! So many arcs adapted(Yeah, I know just 3 arcs). Still, I had a blast watching this series (just Cid go about his everyday life playing NPC and protagonist).

Hopefully, we get a season 3 of this.

The 'Return to Earth' arc is just as good as any of the other arcs in this show!!! Can't wait to see it!!
@Joel77 we dont know yet if we are going to get a season 3 but we are going to have a movie, and from the ending its problably shadow taking care his original universe

Damn, that was a set of exciting battles and reveals throughout the course of the episode. It was a little difficult to tell but it seems like Cid was transported to a different world. To be honest, those final segments of the episode felt so haphazard story-wise, I think it was more to serve as a base for the movie to capitalise on in due time.

That aside, the conclusion to the fight played out more or less as expected. Shadow’s non chalant reaction to the combination of the beast and the 9th member of the opposing team was to sigma.

For a bit, I was concerned how the whole drama would play out but I’m glad they didn’t try and make a big thing out of it. I’d my fair share of fun with the season, and I’m definitely up for more.

Had fun watching this anime as always but this season adaptation was inferior when compared to season 1. Well, that's to be expected I guess since season 1 adapted 4 arcs in 20 episodes while this season packed 3 arcs in just 11 episodes (wish they used the fan service episode slot for more meaningful story progression). Good to know that we are getting a movie adaptation for the next arc which is most likely gonna be a banger. Can't wait for the movie release. Also wish they'd release light novels faster.

Holy shit this season finale gave me so much goosebumps man this shit was so fucking HYPEEEE😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Mordred talking about the “many worlds theory” and how there are different realms had me hyped bc there’s so much ways this story can go considering the multiverse is canon to the Eminence in Shadow universe😩

Like where did Cid go? Did he go into the world where he previously died in before he got isekai’d??? There’s so much I don’t know😣😫😫😫😫

And I especially got goosebumps when the first opening from the first season played bc I haven’t heard it in almost over a year I’m happy the show loves us fans and used that song for the finale

CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW SEASON AND HOW SHADOW IS DOING IN THAT NEW WORLD!!!!🤩🙌🏽

The ending was way different than the manga, where beta was supposed to be in japan with cid but the ending totally makes it way more sick and doesnt leave it in a cliffhanger. Although i partially wished it left on cid and beta being in japan instead of the nostalgia hit but it's also good but i hope it doesnt change much or deviate much from the manga. This might be the hugest change/deviation from the manga in the anime so far as the battle between gettan and john smith did deviate alot from the manga but a whole arc being different goddamn.

i like how they changed only cid to go to Japan , because if beta comes with cid then she will learn the truth that the shadows knowledge is not his but different world, so they made it good by changing it, from my perspective, and the ending was epic, i never expected to see her not only that but cid going back to his world
@_otaku_man00 she never did find out the truth of the shadows knowledge at the manga or the original works

When the villain started to rant on about parallel worlds and portals, that started a red flag in my head and just knew that Shadow will probably be sucked back home lol... and then it happens. Personally Earth doesn't excite me as much, but I guess they need things to mix up abit as its kind of getting abit samey.

Insane ending for this season. And seeing as it's not exactly feasible for Cid to be Cid on Earth, hopefully this means we get a full movie of Shadow being Shadow. I'm looking forward to the movie, but it sucks that most of us won't be able to watch until it releases globally after a few months (which considering it's hype and popularity, it should release globally. Best case scenario it releases simultaneously, though I'd still need to wait for somewhere else to get it). Along with that, hopefully a season 3 will also be in the next few years.
