@@godlykillerssj1729 Whilest that is true, you probably shouldn't comment that under a reaction to the 2nd episode. It's like seeing someone watch the first Lord of the Rings movie, the fellowship just coming out of Moria and telling them that Gandalf will return as Gandalf the White in the next movie, after he defeated the Balrog. Much better to make it ominous, say that it's possible she might return, or maybe that he's gonna have to look out for whether that was just a red herring or whether she's actually gonna matter as the series goes on.
My head cannon is that the MC was put into a coma by the truck that hit him, and this is all him hallucinating and living out his fantasies as he lies in a hospital bed. That's why everything changes to become consistent with his flights of fancy and wildest guesses.
I always felt that the "isekai world" he happen to fall into shapes itself to his will, and even when he makes shit up and is wrong the world fixes itself so he's right anyway.
@@tinod.t.9142 He got the story about the 3 heroes and the demon Diablos from a well known fairy tale of the world. He didn't come up with the story. He just said that the famous fairy tale was based on true history, which turned out to be correct.
Yes, "Isekai" is more of a setting than a genre. Eminence in Shadow is pretty much an anti-trope, it kinda grabs all the tropes and clichés and puts them upsidedown.
In anime "Isekai" or "Another World" is a genre because most share a lot of features and tropes that make them easily separated from other shows. "Isekai" is also a setting and has existed for a while, mainly in the form of space and time travel, like "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and "Star Trek". Yes I would consider a large portion of "Star Trek" to fall under the setting of "Isekai" and in the genre of Sci-Fi.
@@Sgt_SealCluber It's just fantasy with an asterisk. In fact, I vaguely remember an "isekai" where taking away the "isekai" part and turning it into a regular "fantasy" wouldn't have changed anything in the plot... (I'll try to find the title, but no promises)
@@OxygenC2 I'm not quite sure if that's what I had in mind, but it definitely fits the bill lol Past life was irrelevant to his motivation(s), past life didn't give him any unique insight people from that world couldn't have, and him not having the world's "common sense" can be explained by how he was raised in that world. I like the story, but it being "isekai" was definitely a bandwagon thing lol
Chūnibyō is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe early teens who have grandiose delusions, who desperately want to stand out, and who have convinced themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. Sound like anyone in this anime? Now imagine if it wasn't delusional, but by chance happened to be part of the world.
to your question of 23:00 (ca) why oshinoko could be considered not beeing an isekai its because isekai means another world (or similar to that) in oshinoko they are still in the same reinkarnation is not automaticaly isekai, while its often used for them
The thing that make this anime work is not just him making stuff up that ends up being real but also the fact that he doesn't realize this and thinks the girls working for him are just playing a game like he is and going along with his make believe stories. That's why he said Beta was good at acting, cause he thought she's just playing along. There had been many "isekai"/another world type of anime before. A lot of shows have had the premise of the characters getting transported and stuck in another world. The ones from back then have characters have the goal of returning home to their own worlds at the end. The new ones these past 10 or so years where the characters reincarnate are new and they can't go back home anymore since they're already dead there. Mushoku Tensei is one (if not the one) of the series that started this new type of isekai stories and it's source material's popularity has inspired a bunch of other isekai stories (many of which you're watching or would be watching). I hope you get to watch old isekai anime as well someday. There are lots of good ones.
unhinged sociopath hell bent on becoming the strongest person in existence who makes shit up as he goes along but it miraculously hits nail on the head every time and yes he has 1000 babes army working in the shadows infiltrating entire world just because he said they fight evil this anime is simply insane person wet dream i am more surprised how well is he mascarading as an average weak joe
Cid Kagenou (Cid Shadow-brain) is a young man with anime protagonist level superpowers and ability, but has a desire to remain a mysterious manipulator of events from behind the curtain. His desire is to live a life unnoticed as a background character is eclipsed only by his need to stick his shadowy manipulator fingers into any situation where he thinks he can look like a mysterious badass. This show is so good and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It perfectly parodies the “Superpowerful badass in another world” trope with a dude who’s basically a total dork, running around doing total dork things, yet SOMEHOW actually ends up right about the cringy bullshit he thinks he’s making up. Pay attention to the names of other background characters. Some of them are absolute comedy gold.
"isekai" means "other world" in Japanese. Every story that involves the protagonist getting yeeted to another world is an isekai. (The chronicles of Narnia is an isekai.)
To understand Cid: Some kids dream of being the hero out of a story. Cid dreams of being the final boss, the one you sat beside your entire life without realizing who he was.
I must warn you, that this is quite a what could be called an "anti anime". It kind of plays on the tropes and pushes against them. And although it is entertaining on it's own, if you lack a lot of context of isekai and general anime trends, you'll probably get confused a lot. Especially at first.
[Spoiler] for Oshi No Ko if you want to go in completely blind Oshi No Ko falls under "Tensei", not "Isekai". Iseaki means "Another World" whereas Tensei means "Reincarnation/Rebirth". A lot of Isekais involve Tensei, but being an Isekai is not necessary for a Tensei story. Though they generally get lumped into Isekai for simplicity's sake, like "The Misfit of Demon King Academy". It's a Tensei that takes place in another world from our own, but isn't technically an "Isekai" because they MC is reborn in his same world.
What everyone is missing is that Cid "didn't make shit up" he came to a conclusion based on items in that room that were taken from the organization carriage, his intention was to bullshit his way off course but it a real conclusion from real evidence he's just that smart, also the reason he seems so oblivious is because he thinks he's susceptible to delusion and tend to ignore most things, the anime didn't explain his character very well that why people are confused and thinks he's some kind of god that bring things to reality, actually he himself says in term of magic power alone he's outclassed by most character he's this OP because he put in the effort and know how to squeeze and efficiently use every last bit of his magic
It’s funny how Cid assumes that all of the girls are just humoring him-playing along with his bs because they feel some gratitude. Yet, they’re all deadly serious and believe everything he says. He knows he’s bs’ing them all, so he assumes that they know it, too. Man rolls nat 20s on every bluff check to the point where the narrative itself becomes convinced he’s right.
@Luke He's an OP stud cuz he is able to save everyone by manipulating and tinkering with their magic overload to heal them from being blobs and revert back into their original forms. Fortunately and unfortunately for him and the entire world, every bullshit he made up was actually true. It may seem confusing but it is very common in novels around the world and in light novels, to have narrations from people who aren't the protagonist(s). You get a glimpse into the head or voice of even villains, how they think, feel, and it gives them more dept like the guy here with a daughter. There's usually a reason why they show you the picture of the daughter like that, so I hope you remember his daughter Milia by name at least!
OH! Got a show and OP/ED for you to react to that I don't think you've seen or heard of before! AKUDAMA DRIVE! I'm not even going to give you any more information than that. It's bonkers and right up your alley.
I wouldn't say he has the ability to speak anything into existence but a 99% chance for it to happen as a convenience. Also, ep 3, best one for me out of the anime, cause it takes a bit of a turn from what you've seen. If you've got any questions on the anime, reply if it isn't spoiler.
yup, you are 100% right. He's just making the sheet up as he goes. He is a guy living in his own story... but the thing is... all the things he's making up is also coincidentally true and real in that world. I'm not sure if he's aware of it or not but most of the time he just makes up a story and conveniently ends up true. lol
My theory is that who or whatever isekaid him, has put this knowledge in the back of his mind. He thinks he is making stuff up, but in reality the information is there. This is why his "lies" keep turning out to be based on some kind of reality.
Feel he should have watched Life, Chubiyno and Everything just so he understands what a chubiyno (might be butchering the spelling) is. Garnt called it the king of eisaki trash and I think that sums up this series pretty well. I know we got another 10 episodes due at some stage but no clue when, I'm kind of hoping the studio might find a way to extend it a little.
I feel this is too early in your anime journey to watch this show. It has a lot of anime tropes in it (or should I say anti-tropes?) that it would be more funny and impactful if you were more familiar with them by seeing them happen time and again in multiple different anime. It will be interesting to see your confused look everytime you need someone to explain what's going on. XD
Concept Deity: The Idiot God A god was so bored he sealed away the majority of his omniscience so he can feel surprise. He roams among the mortals looking for the next surprise making up BS but he’s incapable of making outright lies. He believes he’s making lies, making up BS… but they always just so happen to have been true. Also possible his omnipotence inadvertently recreates all of reality so all of his BS becomes the truth. Not even the god can truly know for sure till he fully merges with his omniscience.
What is Batman if not a psychologically damaged adult Chuunibyou? He's like the original chuuni. Hes stuck in his head at the age his parents were killed with the idea of a unbeatable detective hero who can live in the shadows and take down any bad guy. Total Chuuni.
Cid just wants to live the life of an Average Background Character, not wanting to be the MC in his POV. But he still wants to be the Eminence in Shadow, a powerful fighter who fights in the Shadows without revealing his real identity to the public. He's basically living a Double Life like a Background version of Superman
Mushoku is good serious isekai. Eminence is good parody isekai. Both original books better than anime adaptation, but still good adaptations thou. By the way, Eminence getting second season already in October.
Luke hahaha, it has two different POV's, CID/Shadow POV:, he thinks the Girls(7 shadow) is riding with his bulls**t Role playing 😂, thinking that the members of the Cult of Diablos are just regular Bandits,. And the POV of the people of that new world: the curse, the cult and all that's happening in that world, people are taking it seriously,.
Thats the joke haha he makes up everything just to play the role he wants. He does thing just to satisfy his fantasies but everything he does leads to him being like all knowing and looks like he did everything according to plan when in reality he thinks this is all fake and shadow garden is jusy playing along
Not goin to lie when I first saw this episode and after his usual suspects gas lighting I stopped watching it because I thought I wasn't goin to like the MC. But I saw tons of ads for it and people praising it and gave it a rewatch and became a fan
Reactions... A feeling... Why do a significant amount of people like to see others watching? Sometimes its because they want to see their opinions, either on something they like or dislike Some like the person watching it, they just want to see their face Some just have a fascination for observing others reactions But most sadly of all.

Try to have confidence, sometimes they just dont want it because they dont think like its something they're going to like. You need to learn a way with words to convince.
You've mostly been watching the cream of the crop of isekai stories. While a good isekai can be very enjoyable, there's also some absolute dog-crap out there as well.

We see his many masks he has for different people and how he acts for them, but by virtue of the story being narrated by Cid, I'm confident that he's lying to us as well. In truth, he knows FAR more than he lets us on to and passes everything off as 'luck' and 'making stuff up'.
This anime is isekai which has I think pretty big fanbase. You will love it or you will think it's mediocre and it's kinda stupid. I'm from the second group, anime is fine but it's nothing really special

You started watching Shadow too early, this type of anime that should be watched after a few dozen isekais, then it really looks like a masterpiece
"Task failed successfully" is a big theme here.
"This guy is weird. And kinda crazy."
Oh, you have NO IDEA!
Cid lives to be back ground char A, so it a bigger change when he goes shadow mode ^^
Yes, "Isekai" is more of a setting than a genre.
Eminence in Shadow is pretty much an anti-trope, it kinda grabs all the tropes and clichés and puts them upsidedown.
In some ways it's similar to "Western" - it's a setting that's treated as a genre because a lot of them follow similar tropes.

i love this anime hope you enjoy it too.
"isekai" means "other world" in Japanese. Every story that involves the protagonist getting yeeted to another world is an isekai. (The chronicles of Narnia is an isekai.)
"Sekai" means "world", and the "I" infront changes the meaning to "different world".
To understand Cid:
Some kids dream of being the hero out of a story.
Cid dreams of being the final boss, the one you sat beside your entire life without realizing who he was.
the first to episode was written out of the girls perspective because kageno want to be a background character so even the story treated him as one
I died when responded to 'Shadow' with "the hedgehog" x'D
Cid is so OP that the very Universe bends to his chuunibyou. He has made Fate a part of his harem. 😁
0:22 another planet? I think you mean world, this is not star wars with interstellar travel, this is an isekai

Entertaining!
I mean the getting the cult thing right isn’t to much of a jump, especially in a mid age world of magic
Isekais are genre not main genre like horror or romance. But at the same level as for example "slice of life".
it was delta's
Mushoku is good serious isekai. Eminence is good parody isekai. Both original books better than anime adaptation, but still good adaptations thou. By the way, Eminence getting second season already in October.
What did the chat lie to you about? I didn't catch that.
Hes playing D&D and only rolling 20
you pronounce the word isekai as izekai when it is actually pronounced isekai
don't even know how he manages to make that error
Luke hahaha, it has two different POV's,
CID/Shadow POV:, he thinks the Girls(7 shadow) is riding with his bulls**t Role playing 😂, thinking that the members of the Cult of Diablos are just regular Bandits,.
And the POV of the people of that new world: the curse, the cult and all that's happening in that world, people are taking it seriously,.
Oshinoko is a reincarnation anime at best.
Isekai is basically an excuse for the main character to be in a new world with the same knowledge base as the audience.
Thats the joke haha he makes up everything just to play the role he wants. He does thing just to satisfy his fantasies but everything he does leads to him being like all knowing and looks like he did everything according to plan when in reality he thinks this is all fake and shadow garden is jusy playing along
Isekai is pronounced as (ee-seh-kai)

Reactions... A feeling...
Why do a significant amount of people like to see others watching?
Sometimes its because they want to see their opinions, either on something they like or dislike
Some like the person watching it, they just want to see their face
Some just have a fascination for observing others reactions
But most sadly of all. The ones that want to feel like they're watching it with someone else, a friend per say. They feel like there is someone watching besides them.
If youre this type of person. Dont you love when you manage to make a relative or a close person watch something with you? Try to have confidence, sometimes they just dont want it because they dont think like its something they're going to like. You need to learn a way with words to convince.
Caiser suze lol
haha dont overthink this is not aot
You've mostly been watching the cream of the crop of isekai stories. While a good isekai can be very enjoyable, there's also some absolute dog-crap out there as well.

This anime is isekai which has I think pretty big fanbase. You will love it or you will think it's mediocre and it's kinda stupid. I'm from the second group, anime is fine but it's nothing really special
What I don't like for example is that mc makes sth up and then it always comes true for some reason
