The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
| I would say Kage No is more so average 7 lacking much of a unique identity that the top isekai have. It is no Re Zero where the mc can get demolished for making a bad move. It does not exactly have the world building of Mushoku Tensei. It appeals to a certain style of humor not found in Konosuba or Fabinku. It can still be enjoyed though. Also, stuff like Bookworm, Overlord, and Reincarnated as a Slime are up there too. |
 |
| Nope this was at best, 20 episodes of wasted money, resulting in a lackluster comedy Isekai. At worst it was a cringey and at times not generic, but boring show, that you don't need to pay attention to, since it isn't meant to be taken seriously anyway. |
 |
| It is one of the trashiest I have seen, that's the only thing I'm sure of. |
| Yes and by a long shot. All the people calling it just "trashy fun" don't seem to understand the show at all despite it not being that complex or are just imitating gikkuk |
 |
| best big isekai? bro its way at the bottom tier. i still cant believe i made it 9 eps in. such mediocre writing and characterization the fact this rated higher then a 6.50 is why anime is failing |

@KuroLion it is good anime, if u not like then ignore, but u cannot force others to drop it or u Have no right to force others to change their opinion and u cannot force other to change ther view
| @Sayan_Pal just listed an opinion based on long time anime watching and observable facts over the course of anime's more recent trend shifts. nowhere in there did i attempt to force anyone into anything lol. try reading my comment again i guess *shrug* its immature comedy and boring pacing accomplish nothing. OP asked for opinions, so here we are. always humorous to see the young crowd get triggered though so thanks for that ;) |

@KuroLion if u not like then ignore
| @Sayan_Pal im allowed to list my opinions when its solicited. if you're triggered due to fanboying, you can ignore it :) its great you found a show you enjoy but stop attacking people that dont like it. i can see the appeal here for teens but not many older watchers are gonna like it. |

| @KuroLion I can't believe someone with solo leveling has a nerve to act as if they are more mature than people liking this. Lemme give you advice tho, that dude is weird, genuinely thought they are some kind of bot at first. |

| @EdgyLord666 not what i said at all. i said not as many older people are going to enjoy it vs a younger audience, not older people are more mature then people who enjoy this. that comment was based on the comedy style, its a style used for targeting younger audiences and thats just a fact. dont put words in my mouth. also we arent talking about solo leveling which is ranked hundred above this one in both popularity and ranking. and for a reason. it kicked off and trendset a whole genre of webtoons and art style copycats. that should be commendable even if you didnt care much for the story. although compared to this show solo leveling has a much more complex story and character depth and that says alot. shadow garden is just way too one dimensional in almost every way. it also not fair to compare a comedy heavy series and an action heavy series together. not the same at all to do proper parallel analysis. and yes that dude is a bot lol |

| Isekai standards have really fallen down if this is considered best big isekai. |

| @EdgyLord666 you cant really think shadow garden has a real story or any character depth lol either that or you just dont know what that means. your standards are low and/or you probably should experience more anime. we get it your profile location is shadow garden and you rate everything associated with it a perfect 10. you are biased and thats fine but dont act like its more then just an episodic comedy show thats been done a thousand times. but expected from someone named edgelord lol i also see you gave shows like i am hero and lovely complex a 5 and 6 respectively and those are widely considered top of class even to some of todays standards. in fact they even got live action adaptations due to popularity. come back when you are qualified or wanna use some real words to have an actual discussion. this "you're wrong and solo leveling making you trash" is the weakest argument i have ever seen kid |

| @KuroLion sir, I'm asking how it is a fact, already said how I won't argue with you, no need to get personal, maybe just try to answer it, instead of exposing your immaturity. But yes Eminence complex story, character depth > SL story, character. |

| @EdgyLord666 i did answer it. some types of comedy are used for younger audiences. how does that need more explanation? if that needs more explanation you dont know enough about story telling to have a discussion. this conversation has run its course fanbro. |

| @KuroLion but my question is, "how is that a fact?" |
| Maybe? It's certainly quite unique, and one of the better Isekai I've seen. But it's far from being the best. I absolutely love the chuuni shit and I love bigger than life characters. The problem is his "I am NPC" facade can be too much at times to the point of reducing my experience with the series. Dual persona protagonist has been done multiple times before. For example, Code Geass has this too, but they pulled it off really well and make it easy to like both sides; Both Lelouch persona and Zero persona are very likeable despite being very different. I never been a fan of the listless, emotionless type of characters, so I'm really not a fan of the NPC Cid persona and how he's so nonchalant to everything despite him supposed to be "the average NPC man." But his Shadow persona is unironically one of the most fun character I've ever seen. It's still better than the average Isekai for sure, plot feels generic but not exactly a bad thing. And the worldbuilding and side characters is quite enjoyable. But there are plenty scenes that hinders the fun. If I had to say something about the series, is that this has some sort of identity crisis. |
