| Ah, so that's how Cid met Alpha. At least we got more insight about Cid's character since the first episode didn't go much into depth about it. Not sure how I feel about Claire in this show yet but she seems to be going through some rough shit. One thing to mention is how angry she reacts when Cid is mentioned in her presence. Another glance of Shadow Garden though...I guess this show will take time to explore each of the cast eventually. |

| God that cry was such an act lmao, though what would anyone expect from a 17 year old who got reincarnated while being on his venture to be that eminence in shadow. Also yeah dude’s not a useless mob character like he used to be in this new life, in fact he became a master con. Isekai is not an isekai without blonde elves around, though nevermind the obvious how that joke demon Diabolos story actually became something true later cracked me up. Cid without even realizing again earned some hefty brownie points courtesy of folks back there in the shadow garden. Cracking humour. |

| Minoru Kageno's Isekai-ed "Truck-kun" life of a reincarnation into the Kagenou family, and there's not just him alone, but also his capable sister Claire who is the face of the family, while Minoru as Cid is the background character: the Eminence in Shadow who's just as if not more capable. The slime that he brought back turned out to enclose an elf within the confines of the Curse of Diabolos, and what Cid came up with is an enough compelling ad-lib of a story to convince the elf. And sure enough he did, with the formation of Shadow Garden and the elf being Alpha. But one day, Claire got kidnapped, and they need not wait as Alpha already made plans to locate her with the others she found, right at the Cult of Diabolos to take action immediately and discreetly. For Viscount Olba Grease, fighting the members of Shadow Garden was just a test for the real thing: Cid awaiting his presence, and no matter how much power is forced against him, Cid is UNBEATABLE. Cid and Shadow Garden's journey is just starting...but this is goodbye? This Isekai is a breath of fresh air. |

| I think I need to check out the Light Novel after this or I may have to wait for more episodes to come since there was a lot of events being set up for the future that is going to be coming into play although it felt a little overhwlming. The episode was still equally as good and intriguing as last weeks though, a lot of characters were introduced and they're all likeable but Cid is seeming like he's on the road to becoming an absolute menace though and I'm here for it. This show is another breath of fresh air into this saturated genre, would love to see more of Cid's backstory though, the first episode still has me a little confused in some areas but again things will probably get cleared up in the next episode. |
 |
| Cid's character is quite intriguing to me and at the same time, the show does a good job of portraying the humor in a good way. Would love to see more into the backgrounds of these characters. The story of Diablo becoming true was funny to me. I'm looking forward to this show. Idk why but the show feels weirdly different but quite similar to its predecessors at the same time, maybe the Isekai elements have something to do with it. LOL. |
 |
| So this episode pretty much adapted all of chapter 1 of the LN. Basically an introduction to Alpha, Shadow, and the Shadow Garden. We got to see some of Cid's power in this episode which was pretty cool, I think the fight scenes were well animated. We also see a little bit of the lack of coordination between Cid and the rest of the Shadow Garden, which is like central theme in the comedy of this series. But Claire's voice really sounds different from what I imagined it to be lol |
 |
| Another great episode but Cid got dumped in the end lmao... I'm looking forward to more episodes. A bit disappointed with the comedy parts. I was also expecting it to be more epic and hilarious. Claire's voice should be more of (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Cid is friggin mood! now this is how the eminence in shadow is supposed to be! bloody, edgy and funny! I remember how dumbfounded I was when I first read the manga and saw how he acts and kills on a whim lol. The animation is great, art is good! I hope they can keep it consistent. Minor nitpick would be the comedic timing, it lacks the oompf to make it funny, it doesnt give the joke time to kick in. |
  |
| It felt too fast. They could take the OP and ED and doing things more slowly. |
| Damn it's episode 2 and we move fast fast. Another Overpowered Isekai Protagonist. Did he made up the villain group and it's actually exist? Lmao Eh? That cliffhanger though... |
 |
| Pacing? What is that? I'm guessing this is going to be one of those shows where they throw everything at you upfront to keep you interested then will go back and explain at points when it matters later on down the line. Not sure if it's like that in the source but I'm not even sure how serious this show is meant to be taken. It should be renamed to Eminence in Chuunibyou though. My man is really living his best isekai life. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| man i really enjoy this episode, can't wait for episode 3. |

2dbest said: Didn't expect alpa is from something like that. still didn't find the comedy. maybe just my expectations about the comedy is too high No it wasn't really funny. The joke they were trying to make didn't hit. |
| This episode reminded me of Ains and Overlord, I can see why many people were saying this is similar to overlord. Cool episode with good action and lots of blood. Also that ending scene lol. |
 |
| Impressive how he managed to salvage whatever Alpha used to be and restore her to what she looks like now. And the way he managed to come up with such a crazy story on the spot too, impressive. |
 |
| This did feel a little rushed, but it's not bad. This could almost have been a first episode, which is exciting, considering there are 18 remaining. I'm looking forward to where this adventure goes! |
| HAHA! Too much Chuunibyou vibes!...i hope it gets better...or worse...lolz 3/5. |
 |
| An amusing episode, they sure like to splatter blood all around The cliffhanger was intriguing |
| It's intriguing, but the time skips are a bit jarring, since we don't get to see how Cid formed the Shadow Garden properly. Claire and Alpha seem interesting, but we didn't get much material to really get a feel for the characters. The action scenes were cool this episode, but the animation really isn't anything spectacular. |
| What's stopping the studio from doing full frontal nudity? Also, does this guy bend reality to his will? |

| Quite impressive for Cid to make up a lie that quick and to go along with it. Also, did Claire just make her own way home? Like did Cid leave her there? |

| Why they have to censor while Cid was wounding that old bandit! |
NakanoHito said: censorship part disappointed me.It was pretty generic..I think the animators missed the whole point of this manga/LN |
| Second episode and it still feels edgy and overly serious, not sure where the comedy is supposed to be. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I wish they'd showed the way he ran toward the truck and got himself killed |
| His lucky guesses are more than I expected lol. Comedy is rather specific, but I like it. The one thing that worries me is pacing - I don't know source material, but this episode felt a bit too fast for my liking. |
| Follow up episode reaffrimed that it will be an edgy chuuni power fantasy. What's in the cage? Of course it's a waifu, lol. Also harem ✅ You can definitely enjoy this for how predictable and corny it is. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
