Review of The Eminence in Shadow Season 2

Shadow is back and he is as OP as ever. This time showing new schemes and more of his broken powers. We follow Shadow and shadow garden through different arcs, that each put focus on different side characters and aspects of shadow. Which show some more details about specific side characters, shadow garden and shadows relation to them. The plot still works much on the premise of Shadow seeing everything differently, and therefore misunderstand how everyone else sees his actions. This shows some interesting details about Shadow, but also the other characters and helps build both the character and the relations. The arcs shown are generally veryinteresting and are clearly made to show the interaction between Shadow and the world.

This season also shows some great world building, exploring more of the world and showing how big it is. This really helps showing how big some of the elements of the show truly are, and gives a better understanding of how powerful shadow garden and the cult is.

Though it is still very clear that they are playing on the aspect of this also being a parody on stereotypical isekais. This also limits how much character progression there is, but also needs to be kept in mind when something might seem off, since Shadow still sees it as a game while the rest does not.

The animation is still very smooth with some great details in the fight scenes. There is also a great focus on how all the different abilities are animated, both in and out of combat.

So overall it is a great continuation of the previous season, that sticks true to the action comedy this show is. Thereby i would definitely recommend this, if you liked the previous season.
