About this deal

Frozen*). If there is any takeaway from this, it’s not only that animated properties being so overtly meta is here to stay, but that it is also a highly-profitable venture. After all, no company is going to change their course if it affects their bottom line. To the company, there’s a simple credo to follow: whether it be about specific properties or about an entire genre’s convention, give the audience a wink. Let them know that you “get it.” It really is an experience to read through this novel, there are some things that would be nearly impossible to explain, but the smile put on my face after the Moonlight Sonata scene was very real. But overall it is a great read and it passed the time extremely well. Managed to read through it in about a weeks time, and I couldn't wait to continue reading through it. I'm sure that it will continue on and become more and more popular as time goes on a slave mercenary yearning for freedom, awakens inside the body of Sidius, a talentless boy in a realm where power reigns supreme. To save his ailing sister, he decides to sell a book inherited from his parents, unaware of its true significance. Upon touching the book, a system fuses with him and flooded him with memories of a hero."You helped me big time system but, I really don't want to play the hero.""I prefer playing in shadows."Unbeknownst to him, the real manipulative being in the shadows was using him as a pawn in a grand scheme. Follow Sidius as he unravels mysteries about the universe and his identity, with a single purpose—to defy his predetermined destiny.-------------------Slow update for now because I'm still in univ detail Rose is the kind of tragic character that somehow also manages to be funny. She's so obsessed with her own love for Cid that she'll redefine everything about him so that his actions reflect a similar obsession with her. And that gives her the strength to face a terrible situation head-on. Shadow Garden are a bunch of non-characters, it’s like they don’t exist, they aren’t people, they are plot devices that help Cid do whatever, from gathering information from who knows where to being stupidly strong for the sake of being strong. Like I cannot even remember who most of them are, I can remember Alpha since she had screen time alone and we learned some stuff about her, then like 10 episodes later I could recognize who was Beta since she got an actual character across those episodes, even if ironically Alpha lost her time in the limelight at the same time. But my problem with these girls is not remembering their names, Greek letters aren’t something difficult to remember and I’m guessing that’s why the author didn’t bother to give them actual names, it’s these girls are complete non-characters, sometimes when they appear again I wouldn’t know who they are if they weren’t wearing those outfits everyone in Shadow Garden wear, after all, they aren’t characters I can recognize because they aren’t written to be recognizable, I couldn’t even tell which hair color each of them has or a single personality trait, there’s nothing memorable at all about them because they are never used as anything but a plot device galore.

Dennison, Kara (September 24, 2023). "The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season Anime Shares Intel on new Ending Theme". Crunchyroll. Archived from the original on September 24, 2023 . Retrieved September 24, 2023.I’ve used the word “moment” more than once throughout the course of talking about *The Eminence in Shadow,* and that’s because it’s the show’s ultimate flaw. Underneath the choking meta humor jokes, the occasional bits of good action, mediocre characterization, and the show’s aesthetic managing to capture the balancing act it’s trying to perfect, the show is propelled by moments, not narrative. The good moments come too few and far between; it leaves the rest of the experience pertaining to the Cult of Diabolos (or “Diablos,” depending on who’s translating it) and its actual world lumbering along until it gets to the next meme-worthy instance. It comes in both the form of emphasizing things that don’t really need to be emphasized, or blasting through things when it should stop and catch its breath. The result leaves *The Eminence in Shadow* as an organizational mess, which diminishes its bright points greatly. Of course, what he hasn't noticed is that to everyone else, he IS what he pretends to be---they're not playing along in a game, they're dead serious. And Cid just so happens to have accidentally guessed correctly on, well, everything, so the villains are actually legitimate. With floating steps – it's as if I'm almost floating through the air! – I come down from the forest.

It strained credulity that the MC Shadow/Cid, both thought that his Shadow Garden was all put up by his Seven Shadows, that they were acting, had sets, etc., YET he also BISECTED BAD GUYS, killing LOADS of people on multiple occasions. Granted, they were all bad people who were murdering innocents, but CID didn’t “know” that!!in Japanese). Kadokawa Shoten. Archived from the original on October 20, 2022 . Retrieved April 23, 2021.

The most I could achieve would be the strength to beat up a few punks. If firearms came into the picture, things would get tough. And if I got surrounded by soldiers wearing full equipment, well then, that'd be game over. Sanity would not grant me the strength that I sought.
