The first season produced by animation studio Nexus premiered last October and ended on February 15 with 20 episodes. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime in North America and streamed it on HIDIVE.

Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! adapts Daisuke Aizawa's comedy fantasy light novel, which he launched 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 fifth volume on December 28.

Anri Sakano (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou desu yo? Z) launched 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 shipped the tenth and fourth volume of each manga on November 25 and October 25, respectively.

Yen Press licensed the light novel and manga adaptation in English and published the fourth novel volume on June 7 last year. The fifth manga volume went on sale on October 4..

Why is this anime so hyped, watched 2 episodes and found it to be fairly typical isekai with OP MC and harem cringe.


M*therf*cker!!!...So let this master tell you why this is so hyped -

#Fact1 - it's very simply you know because you didn't last till ep20... episode 20 was sensational...the episode was crazy it's not just about fighting, combats or how op he is I can't explain in detail but I will give some hints...you know Anti-hero right!!! You know light yagami from Death Note right!!! Something like that happened... Believe me it actually looks so crazy and cool at the same time...And I really have no words of gratitude to say to the Author who has pull it off like that...So ofcourse bro you wouldn't feel anything after watching only 2 episode only those who finished the anime knows why is it so hyped...example- our popular youtuber "giguk" also said that he's more interested in TEIS S2 than Rezeo S3 so do you think these people's are mad??!!...In TEIS there's also mentioned that Cid likes anime like Dragonball, One piece etc. And I'm sure that he watched Death Note believe me or not...I actually feel pity for you bro😌

#Fact2 - you said that you "watched 2 episodes" right?? And you are still saying that it's a typical Power fantasy Anime and that you have to knock your brain cells off to watch it...Now here's a question for you- "did you really watch the first episode with you brain cells intact or were you eating, sh*ting, sleeping while watching that episode???!!" Because it's clearly shows that the only thing in MC's mind was training, training and training and that's what he does...completely different from your average trashy isekai's where a 4 eyed otaku or your average fat/old man/boy who wants/dreams to be something special get isekaied...So don't say it's typical okay...and it's deserve for being "THE Power Fantasy Anime".

#Fact3 - you said it's "harem" and "horny" right?! Then let me say do you really believe that it would be America's #7 anime in 2022 just by showing some horny and harem stuff...do you believe American's are horny...oh well I think you actually believe that...And I don't why everyone said "TEIS" is horny, it must be because of giguk, infact he is the exact opposite of that, coz liking some female characters is the least thing he's interested about, so even if he is surrounded by girls he didn't give a f*ck about them actually...you will only understand if you watch arround ep9 I guess...so even if It's a harem anime the Harem tag wouldn't bother you much, not at all infact unless you are a gay🌝

#Fact4 - cringe cringe cringe that is the last thing I want to hear bro and for the f*cksake don't say it "cringe"...because if I say it's cringe than your f*cking hole existence is cringe....you sleep every night Cringe, you every morning Cringe, you're taking sh*t every time Cringe...So don't say it's cringe, giguk can say it, because he actually watch the anime, further more when he says it's cringe he's not talking about the plot he's talking about Cid/MC'S dialogue that is actually cringe, example- "You —are not attacking??";"What happened?!! we are just getting started —aren't we??⚡";"you can not defeat me with borrowed strength!!";"Playtimes Over😈"; lastly you may know it "I AM ATOMIC"...now question why those lines cringey it because each of the lines mentioned above are repeated at least 5-6 times...but every time he said that it's sounds so f*cking cool and cringe at the same time even giguk said it😌

This not a fact but I must Say Watching Cid in The Eminence In Shadow is like watching Reaction video of One Punchman on YouTube...coz everytime he wins a battle (well not everytime he does this but yeah)I mean after the match his focus always stays on the Audience, it's funny to see his focus is not on the enemy but on the Audience, to see their reactions,to see what will they think? will they think he is cool? will they think he is op? will they fear him?...So the Anime actually goes like this — Cid is YouTuber and we, the anime watcher are external Audience and inside the anime they are internal Audience...

just episode 2 ? 
simple answer, you equally stop at prolog episode 0. watch until episode 5 to understand the show.

if you like comedy, parody, serious story & lore at the same time. this is for you. except you are that guy hate funny and hate comedy. twitter guy that take everything seriously or " Karen " because your braincell is dead you don't want happy comedy life & laugh to remove your stress.

we understand you are a not " funny guy, comedy guy " you hate those stuff.

well giguk can help to explaint the basic.

you couldn't you like just drop the show and then give your opinion in your anime drop list (like you have) rather then telling people here who enjoyed it that you found it terrible, you know the mature and adult way without causing unnecessary drama

Yeah, truly disgusting that trash like this gets multiple seasons while good shows don't because the anime community is filled with a bunch of horny losers that want self-insert OP MCs that are cringelords that they can relate to

You're barking the wrong tree bucko, most MAL users are pirates and don't mean shit to shows getting new season or not. EiS became Kadokawa third most profitable IP so instead getting angry here you can blame Japan instead for liking this show so much.

Loved the first season and I honestly can't wait for the next one

Nah this shitshow is not for me, its a pass
I'd understand that you didn't like the show but to rate it a 2? that's just plain bashing my dude, 5/10 or a 6/10 maybe I'd imagine a hater pov, the fight scenes alone gives it a great deal of a score, the OST was really good, the characters basically needs understanding what they are and what they represent in order to feel them if you just look at them and judge well "they're his harem" most ppl say and it's dumb to assume so, the story is not that amazing but it's still interesting and engaging, the animation wasn't sakuga worthy but at the same time it wasn't any less good, all of this wouldn't let this anime drop from a solid score of 7.6/10, at the end of the day ppl have opinions and tastes and at least unlike many others you actually stayed for the whole thing and that's great, it means you're more entitled to give an opinion about this anime than they'll ever will, have a good day/night mate.

Is anyone who enjoys such a criminal?

Must everyone conform to your opinion of good/bad or right/wrong? ;)

Live and let live.

Already dropped it, like I mentioned earlier ep 2 was good enough to give an introduction to the characters and settings and it was your run of the mill isekai. Come back when the MC is not an OP cringelord and all the team members are not girls.

I never understood that whole "turn your brain off" thing, how do you even do that, how can you enjoy anything if your brain if off!? I can understand CGDCT is easier to watch since you don't have to think about the plot but harem isekai with op MCs are just way to cringe, can't help but think how idiotic the entire setup is.
It´s just a figure of speech, for me at least. I would say that it can be enjoyable if you get home from work and just need some light entertainment, people seem to enjoy it in that way from what I know from friends of mine. For me personally it´s bad, altough I am in a way happy for the people who like it. I am unhappy with the quality of the anime itself and would therefore like to have more people criticizing it. But if that is what people want and deem it worthy of a 9/10 or so, what can you do huh.

It's a parody of isekai & edge the same way Nozaki-kun is a parody of shoujo.

Personally, I think this a weak stance. You don't have to like it, everyone has different tastes and that's cool, but forming AND sharing an opinion after watching 10% of a season is ridiculous.
Found it cringe? Neat. Drop it and move on. The rest of us are excited.

"That guy definitely committed the crime your Honor!"
"You witnessed it?"
"I saw him in the general area hours earlier, but then I left."
"Riiight... So do any CREDIBLE witnesses have something to say?"

How about don't come back?

I don't understand why people can't keep their mouths shut and let other people enjoy what they enjoy.

It is to trashy power fantasies what Kami Nomi was to  harem. A parody, but at the same time the best of it's kind. The balance is what makes it so good in my opinion. There are times I was laughing at the ridiculousness of it all, as much as there were times I was genuinely hyped.
