The Eminence in Shadow anime presents a satisfactory fantasy world with a satisfactory premise, with little to no character depth, and middling payoff. A couple side characters actually go through somewhat meaningful character development but most characters are largely depicted as constants with no display of their source of motivation or personality. The anime doesn't even display the main character's growth as a character in terms of strength or character. The plot's overarching conflict is presented as a joke but then also serious, the fights are cool but largely have no tension or stakes in terms of story nor character, and the characters still remain largely a mystery despite the anime being 20 episodes long. Is this anime supposed to be parody? Slice of life? A drama? I don't know what the overarching theme of this series is supposed to be. If you're looking for a monotone fantasy/isekai anime series with some cool action scenes, this is right up your alley.
