Kadokawa opened an official website for the Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (The Eminence in Shadow) television anime on Wednesday, revealing the main staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promo. The anime series adapting Daisuke Aizawa's comedy fantasy light novel will air in 2022.

Staff
Director: Kazuya Nakanishi (Comic Girls assistant director)
Series Composition: Kanichi Katou (Mashiro no Oto, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun script)
Character Design: Makoto Iino (Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari, Reikenzan: Hoshikuzu-tachi no Utage)
Studio: Nexus (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Darwin's Game)

Aizawa began penning the comedy fantasy novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in May 2018. Kadokawa began publishing the series through its Enterbrain label with illustrations by Touzai in November that year and released the fourth volume on February 26. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! has a cumulative 1 million copies of its volume in print.

Anri Sakano (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou desu yo? Z) began drawing a manga adaptation in Monthly Comp Ace in December 2018. The magazine also began serializing a spin-off by Seta U in July 2019. Kadokawa released the sixth and second volume of each manga on June 25 and February 26, respectively.

Yen Press licensed the light novel and manga adaptation in English in May 2019 and this January and published the second novel volume on November 10 last year. The first manga volume is scheduled for a November 23 release.

I remember when this was first announced and how intrigued I was by the synopsis (I actually thought that it was the World's Greatest Assassin isekai at one point until I realized it was something else lol)

But the PV looks great imo....Definitely looking forward to this still

the manga is one of the best in terms of comedy and well-made drawings. but the key visual of the anime, trailer, and character design does not inspire me and does not give me strong emotions but in any case, I will watch it to see if I am wrong or not.

the fact that protagonist look exactly same of 94% of protagonists in any light novel tells me everything about the incompetence and hypocrisy of the author. If he really wanted to differentiate himself from the rest, he would have to start from this point, which he does not do.

Is this actually an isekai?

Honestly it looks good and different from your typical isekais, so I don't know if I should add it or not.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

I'm actually talking about the guy you quoted, but I agree that it's funny to see them react like that, some people thought it was Code Geass isekai or something.

Is a parody of isekais. With forced edge, product of the MC being a cringy chuuni (in the good sense, think of Lelouch being more tryhard in his Zero persona than he already was) who does not take things seriously, even if the situation is serious (partly cuz he's very OP, partly cuz he fails to underestand what is actually happening around, while still solving the problems with luck).


Is not for everyone, the MC being very OP from early on is a entry block for some, having a harem is another one, and having a magical school (even if it's mostly irrelevant for most arcs) is yet another one. I am okay with that, since the MC is OP done right (comically, silly), and the girl chars go beyond just some rando -dere trope, and are likelable (aside from b1tch princess, f that one).

One of the best isekai out there, a blend of darkfantasy/Comedy, the fight scene was so brutal, the mc doesn't afraid of killing, btw the mc favorite to kill was Bandits sinc he can earn money from them,The mc personality is Protagonist,Antagonist,anti hero, also hero,Lunatic,Npc,the good he isn't simp, he had a harem but doesn't care to them, treating them like a tools for his Chunnibyo mode lol😂 over all if they give us a good V/a with a good Animation, 8.5/10, they did bad with Cid character design it look mediocre, they should follow the Manga art style or light novel,so the character design should look, unique
