| PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK! Oh man, it's finally here. I loved every single episode of the first season and this arc looks even better with the villians. Cid's still the same guy yapping about his mysterious plan and everyone working for him are no different. They're at the Lawless City, where vampires and ghouls live and it's basically just a shit hole. Cid's moments there were hilarious as hell until the ghouls rampage started. The vampire hunter caught my eyes in a second, same goes for Cid. Nice character design and seems like she's just like him. Can't wait to see more of her. His sister is the same lmao, gotta look out for her. That last part where Shadow arrived was badass between the Fox and the Tyrant. I do hope that the animation stays on the same level as the first season, because this episode was fully speedlines with some frames mixed together. Kinda disliked that, but the soundtrack, direction and the voice acting were on point. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Actually Cid is a big troll in this world xD! |

@mrlonely_001 why not go all the way and read the original LN/WN?
Plus you can't be sure that it's "missing" since the skipped content could be moved for later episode just like how S1 anime also loves rearranging scenes

read the manga and then tell me.
| @mrlonely_001 I followed Kagejitsu since web novel era when it was I am Taepodong before it got changed into I am atomic. So yes I already read the manga and it also skipped a lot of scene like when Shadow spiderman-ning his way into the vampire tower. Plus the manga also make several scene too jokey, and thankfully the anime did it better. For example in this episode: the confrontation between Quinton and Goldy against White Demon |

| Holy shit what a masterpiece of a first episode. I forgot how funny this show was I fucking died at Cid going around repeating the new cool words he heard lmao |
 |
| 2nd season of "shortest 20 mins this week" is finally here. What's up with Delta scene at the beginning? I didn't see her at that meeting too. I hope to see her more. As funny as Cid's sister is, I hope she doesn't get too many action scenes. For those I'd rather spend screen time on Cid. I wonder who is the kid that got caught by vampires? |
Literally the first ten seconds and we already can see beautiful feet. We gonna eat good this season. |
 |
| Oh, this is going to be epic. Insane first episode. |
| Fkn sick. Glad to be back!! Sad this season is only 12 eps 😭 but oh well! |
 |
| FFS Cid, have some shame. You copied the chuuni speech lines from the poor vampire hunter girl. Make your own at least. |
"Run, if you value your life. The frenzy has begun. The moon is red. We are out of time." The Eminence in Shadow has returned for Season Two. And, episode one has not disappointed. We open the season with Cid, once again, being an unbelievable dweeb. After a chance encounter in an alleyway, Cid spends the remainder of the episode repeating some cryptic sentences from a stranger. Why? Because it sounds so cool, right? A character trait of our chuunibyou protagonist that has great comedic value. The writer's have capitalized on it very well, without over using it, or executing it at a poor time. One of several reasons that has me drawn back to the series. I'm looking forward to the coming episodes. There's still plenty of mysteries waiting to be answered. The action scenes last season were excellent, and I am anticipating more. Episode one here had some action sequences that gives me confidence for the upcoming major conflicts. The biggest key to this season's success, I believe, will be their ability to nail the pacing like they did last season. |

| Nice my guilty pleasure anime is back. This show is dumb as shit and I love every minute of it. |
| Amazing opener for the 2nd season, I can't wait for more!!! |
 |
| You loved those lines too much Cid, if you want to be The Eminence in Shadow, you gotta be more creative smh. |
| "I AM ATOMIC" is back baby |
 |
| Good start. I'm glad we still got the same atmosphere from last season. |
Ah, how I've missed you. (it is also high time finally for best girl to shine. I will be looking very much forward to the next 11 Wednesdays.) |
| I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23. Slam Dunk Chapters 272 to 276 are a perfect stretch of manga. |
| Strong ass first episode. Holy shit, Cid repeating that dialogue like an NPC had me rolling. And the crowbars at the end to top it all off |
| some feet in the very first few seconds, what a start. an alright episode overall, gotta love the fanservice. i'm expecting this to be one of the better fantasy shows this season. they got my man sugita as the red-headed dude. claire "crying" over the wrong body was jokes. |
