The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
| Completely agreed its these small details you mentioned that elevate the experience. In fact I think the manga ruins the whole idea of the show by racking up the comedy to 100. Eminence in the shadow is more than just random skits of comedy the way the anime does it in a subtle way lands way better |

| The light novel is better |

i know, right? |
| Bro you could actually enhance your armor with magic, however people with a high confidence in their fighting won't bother to do it. Also disagree with Cid Alexia conversation, the only different in there is the tone, it's more casual in the manga, but I actually like the casual tone in there. I do like how the anime upgrade the era tho. |

I do like how the anime upgrade the era tho. Common soldiers CAN'T use magic, plus the way they fight isn't fitting for their level of tech in the manga. If you like casual tone, then you like it, but objectively, the casual tone hurts character interaction and makes Alexia's feeling for Cid look less convincing. Yeah that's why they need armor for protection, but why tho? That's not objective at all, they reach the same conclusion, it's just a matter of preference. |

Dark Knights can cut through armor with their magic, so if a common soldier wants to kill Dark Knights, their best bet is crossbows or bows, but we see none of that in the manga. Plus, the military tech in the manga doesn't fit the setting of the world. Like I said, if you say you like because you like it, then it's up to you. But the way the anime handles it is better than the manga, as I have pointed out. But common soldiers ain't there to fight dark knight, bows can't pierce magic, they need explosion at least. And I'm asking why it doesn't fit? Yes and it is subjective. |
VMPL said: EdgyLord666 said: But common soldiers ain't there to fight dark knight, bows can't pierce magic, they need explosion at least. And I'm asking why it doesn't fit? Yes and it is subjective. The world already has electricity and light bulbs, so its tech level should be at least 19th century. Let's say they keep Dark Knights around because of martial tradition and magic, still there is no reasons for common soldiers to fight with sword and armor anymore. Yeah that's the anime, I thought we are talking about the manga, no? I don't get this "the military tech in the manga doesn't fit the setting of the world." They are medieval soldiers using medieval tech in a medieval world, why it doesn't fit? |
| strangely agree the show is an 8 whereas the manga (caught up) is like a 5 max for me i don't like when fun parts of the manga are cut out (like his 48 techniques) but i don't why, actually seeing cid animated and acting as he does is so much better than reading about it |

Don't lamps use electricity It's not an electric lamp wtf, it's a candle or oil lamp. |
Doesn't matter, Cid is there, he could easily fck the world building by introducing victorian looking oil lamp. Or it could be a mistake from the artist, but that's just a matter of design. |

It's literally just 1 design and there is an explanation for it bruh. |
I already said it, "Cid is there, he could easily fck the world building by introducing victorian looking oil lamp". |
| After episode 9 yeah, I have to confirm. The manga is WAY better, tf you on LOL |
| bruh |
| No it isn't.... After reading the whole manga upto it's ongoing chapters and watching the anime upto episode 9, I will still say the manga story is by far better than anime. They literally just changed the ending of Ep-9. I don't know about the LN. Ok, some might say the manga penals are small or hard to read. But that's because you're not used to reading manga. The art is improved in the anime more,yes. But what about the actual story? Difference: In the manga his 38 or 42 (don't remember correctly) techniques of MOB-fu were shown more detailed. Anime showed nothing, only some random moves. In manga sherry was leaving happily, wishing cid good luck and promised too meet Again and to tell her feelings for him then. Anime did a gloomy part at Ep 9 ending. They also changed the fight scene with rex the named child vs Cid (manga scene was better). And this is not a world building anime. World building anime is overlord or slime type animes. On the other hand this is secret organisation working in shadows to do what they want. Of course they have influence and of course they have a large number but they don't want dominance or authority. Cid wants to stay cid, the whole organisation was alpha's doing. Even without the organisation he will do just fine Himself. Just because the pictures are not moving like anime that doesn’t make it bad, because that's exactly a manga is. Those who think anime is better, well bro I have bad news for you, you need treatment or try reading manga more to actually understand it better. |

| Is manga your first exposure to the series? then you likely think manga is the best. If you introduced by the WN or LN instead then you'll appreciate the anime more. It's that simple the objective answer of the best way to experience the story would be reading the LN in Japanase. Aside the usual lost in translation, Yen Press translation actually isn't that very good. Lot's of context, nuances, and undertones are omitted from official translation |

| The Anime is objectively better than the Manga. Manga readers often confuse nostalgia with quality!! |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| if you asked me before i would have said the manga is better but now i love both just as much ! the studio has done a wonderful job these last 6 episodes and the voice acting has been perfect !! |
Always_Has_Been said: and now ? i think the anime has gotten much much better since then (the funny scenes were adapted perfectly in the last 2 arcs) After episode 9 yeah, I have to confirm. The manga is WAY better, tf you on LOL |
