Eminence in the Shadow Ep 1 Review

How much did Eminence in the Shadow Episode 1 surprise us?
At the beginning of the Anime, you may have felt you were watching something else besides an Isekai
The first 15 to 20 minutes were not what I was expecting, and the Emphasis was directed on the nonmain Protagonist character of the show named Nishino Akane

Who is Nishino Akane?
She is a former actress and classmate of Kagenou Minoru
It got us to focus on Nishino during the first half of the show more than Kagenou aka Cid
I felt like maybe the show was showing his previous life or something
To find out they took this whole episode to have the build up for the main character Cid

Who is the main character of Eminence in the Shadow?
The main character was born as Kagenou Minoru in his past life
Now he goes by Cid Kagenou
The vast majority of what they called Anime Original Ep1 was taken from Volume 4 of the light novel
Overall, I felt like this opening episode of Eminence in the Shadow deceived us and had a great build up
It was hard to tell where it was trying to lead us and breaking into the credits in the mid show was one
thing as an example and I had to look at the time left on the show, so they got me on that one
I love any Anime which can do this to me
What did it mean that Cid got Truck-kun?
It was so interesting how I got to see Cid’s main build up before he was Truck-kun
If you are new to Isekai it is a meme that refers to a common trope used
In Anime and Manga when a character is being transported by being killed when they are hit by a type of truck
After that the credits begin to roll after they show his face, I was thinking was this it?
I even had to look at how much time was left in the show
Then it takes you to his new world and I was thinking they got me on that one
At the end of the episode, he wants power and is surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women
Now Cid being in a fantasy world environment it makes it feel like a normal Isekai
It will be very interesting to see where the Anime series Eminence in the Shadow leads us
