It's been like two years since I watched anime, so I decided to pick this up on a whim. Although I'm not a fan of isekai, this was a really fun ride with plenty of entertaining characters. Cid didn't click with me at first, but I ended up enjoying his character by the end. The Seven Shadows are charming and their interactions with each other are hilarious, but I wish the show had given them more screentime. Likely seriously, Eta and Zeta barely said five lines (although I heard it's because they haven't even debuted yet in the source material). Also, I expected more fight scenes. Though, the final battle was bonkers, and the animation was excellent. Can't wait for season two.

Giving this a 7/10. Despite the shaky writing, this is easily among the better isekai I've watched. Wasn't bored one bit.

I guess I still don't quite get it... or maybe I just missed it.

Does Cid now get that the Cult of Diablos is real? I know at first he thought it was all pretend & everything was just playing out some fiction, but he's doing REAL fighting, REAL killing & seeing REAL stakes play out now. By the end of the season, he knows it's real right?

why do we need to cut off all her clothes + destroy her personal belongings in under 10 seconds of meeting her? fun fights, funny MC, but cringe side characters, like the entirety of shadow garden is just a gathering of possessed women with such bad 8th grader syndrome that pretty much the whole org is in love with him and every retarded move he makes praising them as gospel. i cannot suspend my belief that they are just getting away with this fucking bullshit improv. still enjoyable when thats not on screen tho. 6.5~7/10

they should make another version of this where MC is not so clueless and over the top, more serious, the shadow garden members names are same but others names are different and MC name is different, still has the slime body suite but also has mask on, group will be called shadow knights instead

and saving the elf part he says the truth and proposes that they should investigate whos behind this, it has more darker then black vibe, i would like to see this type of version of the series

Much better than I thought it would be based on the premise. That said, the protagonist's odd obviousness to reality despite being so sharp in all other respects does get old pretty fast.

So long as it keeps on the same way (or gets a bit more serious) it'll continue to be worth watching.

its a masterpiece..some silly meta-narrative writing all the tropes I love it...maybe its just me but...It feels like I want more...maybe thats why I didn't make it 10/10....I feel like there's some details in the LN and its Manga counterpart miss..like could Cid have this internal momnologue with dramtic pacing (the rest adpated was great) Yet both sub and dub are descent too..I just wish the dub Cid version can shift his voice range to dsituingish side characer and ebing SHADOW...compare to the sub version that I can TELL the difference just by listening and yet..in the dub it feeels monotonous..I don't blame the VA its just...there must be somethign to disntunguish the difference besides the way they talk.

Poor Rose. Felt bad for her during the Lambda scene. Hope she quickly discovers who Shadow is so she will feel better (and quickly discover who Beta is for the lols ;).
Also, I think it is fair to say that Iris has completed her heel turn this episode. And Shadow's laugh very much reminded me of Yagami Light's!

As for the anime as a whole, it started pretty badly but kept on improving with every episode. That is honestly a rare sight. The 1st episode was its worst by far and the last episode was its best. Definitely looking forward to season 2 :).

Enjoyable (due to the unusual porady inducing mc personality and OP cliche) but cringe too ( because of harem...Other male character's worth is less the 2 cents and females are only are relevant because of haremmate appeal like entire booby girl organisation shenanigans). As far as plot goes, there are some great mysteries like how is he so strong even in previous life or how his made up organisation become real, though the lab experimentation reveal was kind of underwhelming and plot so far shown is pretty average. Regardless good animated fight scenes atleast.

Overall, a time passable watch

Finally got around to watch the last episode!!!

I'm always laughing at the cringe "I am"s and this one tops it all. Love how people perceive Shadow/Cid as this ethereal creature but he's actually just a dork who likes shadow/dark/mysterious aesthetics. 
Watched this for funsies, stayed for the chuunibyou MC getting serious responses by people in general.

Also felt the series was "safe", like most isekais these days and didn't do anything risky since the MC was too OP, but it's all OK and its fun to see the Shadow Garden girls's antics at times. Also I do think it has an interesting lore(?) imo. Funny how every bullshit Cid said was actually probably a true statement.

Also amused at the Cast credits because they listed Rose immediately as 666. Kinda cruel but a nice touch.

I guess I'll check out the manga/LN?? Since I think the LN readers from the thread did say the anime adaptation did justice.

Haha, what a ride with The Eminence In Shadow, the most cringe anime or should I say cool? Either way, great anime, have a lot of fun watching it, especially that "I Am Atomic", lol.

Well this episode confirmed that this show isn't really to my liking. It's the MC treating everything and everyone like playthings that draws this down to a 6/10. The dynamic between the MC and the rest of the cast is so one sided that it might as well not even be there because of how bad it works. It might work if the MC is interesting but he's basically a walking trope leaving cast dynamics to the rest which doesn't work either because what drives that dynamic is their connections to the MC.

Alright rant over. I needed to get that off my chest.
Anyway still going to watch the second season, probably, for the world story which is interesting.

Man, I never thought the moment he whipped out 2 crowbars again would compete with an (almost) ATOMIC for best moment but he pulled it off LMAO

Going into this it felt like another seasonal isekai. But it was one hell of a ride and completely stuck to it's guns nukes. Easy 9/10.
