What to Expect From The Eminence in Shadow Season 2

Based on a light novel series written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tōzai, The Eminence in Shadow tells the story of aspiring mastermind Cid Kagenou.

Cid Kagenou's dream is to be a puppetmaster in the shadows; the mastermind behind every major event that happens.

In his previous life in contemporary Japan, Cid didn't achieve his dreams, but he gets another chance.

Reincarnated in a magical world, Cid fakes an organization that he names "Shadow Garden" and recruits individuals to help him defeat a mysterious cult.

Cid aims to be the mastermind behind everything that happens and show the true eminence of shadows.

While the first season was more of a conventional medievalist fantasy, Season 2 included new challenges, including a struggle against vampires, plus tons of new adventures against the Diablos Cult.

Yes, The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 is getting dubbed in English. The season started airing as a simuldub, with the first episode coming out in both English and Japanese on the same day.

Currently, you can watch The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 on HIDIVE, where it is available in Japanese audio with English subtitles as well as in English dub.

HIDIVE is a rising anime platform that isn't as popular or well-known as Crunchyroll, but it's growing into a formidable competitor, having exclusive rights to at least a few of each season's most popular titles.

Given the effort they've put into The Eminence in Shadow, which is getting its second season a mere year after its original run, a dub was pretty much guaranteed. And it came out much earlier than we had thought!

The English dub for The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 premiered on October 4, 2023, alongside the Japanese debut.

Back in 2022, the anime didn't start with huge expectations like other titles, but it did gain traction soon enough.

Given its surprising popularity, the first season's dub was a bit late, potentially due to HIDIVE being a smaller platform; it ended up being released a little after the midway point.

This time, there was no such waiting for viewers of The Eminence in Shadow Season 2!

English dubbed episodes are released weekly alongside the Japanese episodes.
