The official website of the Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! 2nd Season (The Eminence in Shadow Season 2) television anime unveiled on Wednesday two additional cast, the opening theme, a third promotional video, and the key visual (pictured). The anime is scheduled to premiere on October 4 at 10:30 p.m. on AT-X, followed by Tokyo MX, TV Aichi, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, and BS NTV.

Saori Hayami (Kimetsu no Yaiba) and Miku Itou (Princess Connect! Re:Dive) are joining the cast as Elizabeth and Victoria (559), respectively.

OxT is performing the opening theme "grayscale dominator," which is previewed in the promotional video below.

Kazuya Nakanishi (Comic Girls assistant director) is directing the anime at Nexus. Kanichi Katou (Mashiro no Oto) is handling the series composition and Makoto Iino (Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari) is designing the characters. Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu) is composing the music.

The anime adapts Daisuke Aizawa's comedy fantasy novel, which 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 of that year and released the fifth volume in December 2022. The sixth volume is scheduled to be released on October 30.

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 eleventh and fifth volumes of each manga, respectively, on May 26.

Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga in English in May 2019 and January 2021, respectively. The fourth light novel volume went on sale in June 2022, and the seventh manga volume was released on July 18.

Super Hyped, One of my favorite arcs is getting animated and the new Key Visual looks sick. I can't wait to watch this.

I've seen a lot of animes with a Mc who is regarded as anti-hero but man , I wish this one was more serious with a Mc who gives a little shit about the innocent people even if he was dumb to not realize the reality he is into , after all every media has its own agenda and ideology .
