looking back at maria nearl after rides to lake silberneherze it's hilarious seeing platinum look at degenbrecher's portraits and going "she doesn't seem to have aged a day across 3 majors. tch, must be nice winning the genetic lottery" knowing it's just because degenbrecher stopped showing up to photoshoots so they had to keep reusing old photos of her.

I LOVE how the event showed us that Degenbrecher is kind of like a Sakamoto-kun or One Punch Man character more than a Kirito (thank GOD) because she is by ALL means exceptional, but her personality is that of someone really, really grounded to reality and the joys of mundanity and domestic bliss. Sure, she fistfights avalanches to measure her abilities recreationally, but to her that's kind of like doing a backflip on her backyard. Degenbrecher will help you move a sofa from the second floor to the first floor. Degenbrecher will go get the powered chocolate for choccy milk. Degenbrecher doesn't skimp on Pizza Saturdays. Degenbrecher will play co-op with you on an old game no one plays anymore. Degenbrecher will watch over your kid for you while you go pay the bills.

She's, like, a nuclear powered roommate for the community, and it's so fucking funny because you can TELL she puts care, effort, and love into interacting with the community for the good of the community, but she had such disdain for lofty stuff like having her portrait taken after becoming the Ultimate Knight Champion three times that she just probably slept in those days.

Kazimierz could have a 10th year anniversary of her feats and she'd not show up. A neighbor in Kjerag could celebrate her boy's 7th birthday and Degenbrecher would show up hype as fuck with an entire routine. I love her, dude.

The way they're playing it, I assume is gonna be a fake out. I think tho that Azz will start getting suspicious/impatient about knowing the secret seeing how much Iruma doesn't want him to know, and probably will tie this back to that one time when he told him he, in fact, was keeping something a secret from him.

Now, wether or not this is real and Azz finds out right now or later, my predictions is that he can have two reactions: 1) the classic one of feeling betrayed and sad and distancing himself which we all fear so much, or 2) feeling confused at first and then being like "OMFG THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSEEEEE!!!!" and even tho he might feel a little betrayed he'd be understanding as to why Iruma had to lie, specially considering Balam is his mentor and he also knows about Iruma.

Honestly I've been waiting for so long for this three part confrontation that I'd be sad if it's just a fake out, I want Azz to figure it out wether in this next chapter or at least in this mini arc, and I'm betting his reaction will be no. 2. It's only logical that Kirio should be the one telling Azz but remember we also have Baal and apparently Narnia here who know the secret and could be the ones spilling the beans, just for Kirio to confirm it. Make your bets!!

So three chapters got updated and oh boy all of them are a treat.

But the one page that stood out the most was the final page of chapter 303. The big question I have now is it going to be a fake out or is Azz really going to learn Iruma secret?

Check out the Red/Blue Ships List here X

Continuation of my attempt to create a tierlist for every color scheme, here is the Orange/Black tierlist, which also includes Orange/Purple and Orange/Blue pairings due to the amount of overlap I was seeing in the color schemes. I was a lot more lenient here than the Red/Blue one on what counts as I figured there would be less, though I ended up with a lot more than I thought.

I don't know all the pairings here personally and just tried to include all I could find - If I left any of your favorites out let me know and I can retroactively add them (This goes for the other lists too).

The Eminence in Shadow is Premium Garbage

The Eminence in Shadow is the best anime of the Fall 2022 season. I enjoyed it more than Bocchi the Rock!, Mob Psycho 100 III, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family Part 2, and all the rest, and it's not close. There's nothing else I looked forward to every week more.

We have to start with the protagonist. Cid "The Eminence in Shadow" Kagenou looks every power fantasy protagonist and attempted parody of the same dead in the eye and says, with the swagger of one who won before the battle began, "I am not here because I want your throne. It is already mine, and you sat upon it by my grace. Your time is past now, for I have come to reclaim what never belonged to you." Kirito hasn't finished grabbing a weapon before he is reduced to one inch cubes. Ainz Ooal Gown freezes in place, eyes empty, with no answer. Anos Voldigoad gives a knowing smile and steps aside. Rudeus Greyrat stands with tears in his eyes, grateful to be freed of his burden. Rimuru Tempest bows with grace. Maple doesn't know how she got here, but she's very happy for him. Kazuma and Subaru are nowhere to be found. A thousand other guys with messy hair and dark cloaks are silenced, with no time even to cry out.

The basic concept of Eminence is thus: Our protagonist has always wanted to be the ultimate badass. Realizing this is not possible in our mundane reality, he truck-kuns himself and is reborn in a fantasy world, intelligence and ambition intact. He does the usual isekai thing where he becomes stronger than anyone else with magic no one else uses mostly off screen - we're not here to see him struggle to earn his power. We do see him recruit Alpha, his first disciple in Shadow Garden, the underground antihero agency he made up to fight the Cult of Diablos, which he also made up. He decides for this scene that she will be descended from the hero to explain why those baddies wanted her blood.

Wait, "he decides?" That's right, Cid/Shadow is making it up as he goes along. He is playing a character, and the only way he knows how to do that is to actually become that character. While not being the magical Punisher, he plays a background character. He's not so good at that role - he keeps stumbling into relevancy. Eminence is improv, and Cid is very good at making things up and getting everyone to play along.

When Cid goes to the obligatory high school for aspiring magic knights (where he plans to be a C student), it turns out the princess in his class is the next target of the Cult of Diablos! Not one to leave a prompt like that unfulfilled, he yes-ands that encounter into one of the greatest statements of badassery you will ever hear. When Alpha and the rest of Shadow Garden show back up, he's grateful that they still enjoy their little game and are so accommodating of his quirks. He can't say that out loud, of course - that would break character. He just makes whatever cryptic statement feels right to him at the moment.

The world really does seem to revolve around Cid, and like the thousand shadows of his glory, he has no idea. As Shadow, the leader of a secret agency/cult of personality, he obviously has a harem of badass bombshell beauties in tight magic spandex, and just as obviously he's completely oblivious to their worship. As Cid, aspiring nobody, he has a separate, ever growing harem of less badass bombshell beauties. He is fully aware of their attention, but having an increasing number of ladies lusting after him doesn't fit the background character vibe, so he does his utmost to avoid their ever-compounding thirst. You heard me right - Cid/Shadow has two separate harems, so he gets to parody two different types of oblivious harem protagonist. There's even a power fantasy within that power fantasy, as the Shadow Garden harem regularly shows off how much better they are than Cid's collection of extremely eligible bachelorettes.

The 11/10 strength of Eminence is undoubtedly in its dialogue. In multiple places Cid/Shadow delivers lines with more impact as comedy than some of the most powerful statements in serious dramas deliver even once. I honestly struggle to find a comparison here. Monogatari is another shining example of dialogue, but even it never quite reaches that height.

Eminence does not have a deep emotional thread binding it together. It has no subtle themes woven into an intricate plot. The point of this exercise is unadulterated fun, and Eminence has that in spades. As for the rest of the factors that go into making a good anime great: The music is good all the time. The simple animation is consistent, and the expensive scenes really flex that budget. There's a bit of background CGI, but seriously who cares.

Conclusion

Score: The Eminence in Shadow is 9/10. Hammy, scenery gobbling dialogue can be found anywhere. Eminence manages to implement some of the best bad dialogue ever and it makes no apology, while also being gripping in its own way.

Recommendation: The power level requirement here is quite high. Eminence is only of interest to those already familiar with (and maybe a bit tired of) power fantasy/isekai anime. Additionally, it indulges in occasional fanservice you wouldn't want someone to see over your shoulder. However, if you do fall in the target audience you really should feel obligated to watch it.

Comparisons

I already said it's better than every isekai ever made. As a parody of power fantasies in general, it is perhaps best compared to The Misfit of Demon King Academy. That protagonist, Anos Voldigoad, is reborn with all the knowledge and powers of a nigh-omnipotent Demon King. He can literally reduce someone to a puddle of blood with the beat of his heart, and resurrect them with a snap of his fingers. Unlike Eminence, Demon King Academy has no winks at the audience - its position as parody is derived entirely from being presented as a straight implementation of the premise turned up to 20. As such, I think Eminence allows itself more room to play in that space. If you end up liking Eminence, Demon King Academy is a good pick for a follow-up watch.

How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend is the universal solvent of anime comparisons. It has many secret weapons, but the hook is in the title. Megumi stubbornly avoids classification under any well-established romcom stereotype. She's a nobody, a background character, a storytelling blank slate. In short, she is naturally what Cid tries his hardest to be. So, let's compare what these two anime think a background character actually is. Megumi defies tropes. Whenever someone tries to paint preconceived characterization onto her, it slides right off. You have to actually get to know her to understand her. Cid's view of a background character is instead someone you don't get a chance to get to know in the first place. He wants to be the guy who gets rejected to show that the love interest is picky. He wants to be the first guy to die in an action sequence to show the stakes are real. He wants to be disposable. So, to Saekano, a background character is someone you just haven't gotten to know. To Eminence, it's someone you never will. A subtle difference, but since Saekano is taking a look instead of taking the piss, it's the more interesting way to look at it.

Final Words

I will indulge myself in stealing borrowing from Susan Sontag's Notes On Camp. "Not only is Camp not necessarily bad art, but some art which can be approached as Camp... merits the most serious admiration and study." Eminence is not necessarily Camp, but it swims in those waters. I recommend you watch Eminence for the sheer audacity that it was made in the first place, but if you have a particularly open-minded professor and are desperate for a topic for a term paper, well... you might as well have fun with it, right?

So! I read a whole thing on how one of the reasons that Kirito from Sword Art Online is so cringy/such a Gary Stu is that his being godlike at games was supposed to be balanced out from being bad with people…which was dropped a few episodes in making him a chick magnet Paragon

And it made the connection how that’s why Bakugo is so bad, he does have a character arc but it’s only barely formed and the story/characters/fans acts as if it is completely finished when he hasn’t really changed

Which is arguably worse since Kirito is dropped on the other side of the character arc and is a decent guy, (Jesus-kun stuff notwithstanding) while Katsuki is a jackass that the story pretends isn’t

You pretty much nailed what’s wrong with Katsuki’s arc. While it does exist, it’s poorly formed to the point where it might as well not exist.

And yeah, I can forgive Kirito being poorly written because at least he’s a decent person while Hori tries to hammer the fact that Katsuki is a decent person when his actions speak otherwise, which is a far worse Mary Sue/Gary Stue than a bland one.

Those hushed murmurs were beautiful beyond even the sounds of an angel’s flapping wings. Kneeling as though she was about to collapse, Asuna stared at me with her eyes widely opened, her lips trembling.

“Alive… you’re still alive, aren’t you, Kirito-kun…”

“…Aah… I’m still alive…”

The fragility of my voice surprised even myself. Asuna nodded heavily, fetching a pink crystal out from her pocket with her right hand, shouting out “Heal!” with her left hand on my chest. The crystal broke apart and my entire HP bar recovered in an instant. Upon acknowledging that,

“…Wait for a bit. It’ll be over right away…”

Asuna whispered and stood upright. Drawing her rapier in an elegant motion, she started walking.

It appears that Kuradeel had finally gotten up on the other side. Recognising the approaching shadow, his two eyes stared in bewilderment.

“A-Asuna-sama… why do… N-No, this is, practice, yes, during practice, something…”

He jumped to his feet like a spring, retaliating with words spoken in a rasping voice, but he didn’t manage to finish. That was because Asuna’s right hand flashed, the sword tip tearing into Kuradeel’s mouth.

“Puaa!!”

He threw his head back with a hand holding onto his mouth. Ceasing motion for a moment, that familiar expression saturated with hatred creaked back onto his face.

“You bitch… don’t you get carried away… Keh, fine, I’d have to take care of you sooner or…”

But that line was forcibly interrupted as well. Asuna began her ferocious attacks as soon as she adjusted her rapier.

“Oh… kuoo…!”

Kuradeel desperately fought back with his two-handed sword. However, that was no match. As the tip of Asuna’s sword drew countless streaks of light in the air, it tore at Kuradeel repeatedly with dreadful speed, piercing right through. Those trajectories were practically invisible to even me who should have been several levels above her. Before the visage of that white angel thrusting her sword almost as if she was dancing, I merely stared in fascination.

Beautiful. With her chestnut-coloured long hair flowing, the figure of Asuna emotionlessly driving back her enemy while enshrouded in flames of animosity was unbelievably beautiful.

“Nuu! Kuaaaa!”

The wildly swung about sword of Kuradeel, half-submerged in fear, did not even graze her. His HP bar quickly decreased. As it finally burst into the critical red area from yellow, Kuradeel threw down his sword and shouted with his hands up the in air.

“I-I got it!! I got it!! I’m the one at fault!!”

And he cowered onto the ground.

“I-I’ll quit the guild! I’ll never appear in front of you guys again!! So—”

Asuna ceased her movement at that moment and listened to Kuradeel’s words in silence. She had a gaze as if she was looking at a mere scrap of object data. I was taken aback.

“S… stop it, Asuna… you mustn’t… do that… you mustn’t…”

But, that voice was simply too feeble.

Atop Kuradeel’s head, as he knelt at her feet, screaming pleads for his life with his forehead scraping the ground, Asuna precisely tapped the pointed end of her rapier—

And stabbed it through without a hint of hesitation. Kuradeel’s entire frame shivered in jolts.

Asuna drew out the sword tip and Kuradeel raised his face with a blank expression.

“Ah…? Hey, what did—”

At that moment, his HP bar soundlessly extinguished. All of the data making up Kuradeel’s flesh broke into small fragments and scattered away. A grating sound effect, like that of glass being crushed. The fine objects that scattered everywhere started to vanish all at once, as though they were dissolving—before I noticed it, nothing remained there.

The rapier fell from Asuna’s right hand as she stood stock still, rolling over as it made a dry sound off the rocky ground.

Asuna approached unsteadily with her eyes cast downwards and fell to her knees before me, like a puppet with its strings cut. She softly stretched out her right hand, but jolted it back on the verge of touching me.

Happy anniversary housamo and hello chapter 14!!

Sadly no exclusive chapter 14 5* Christine but hey at least Kirito is now a playable after character after like 6 years or so

Aaah, what wonderful years those have been. I was overjoyed just like any other anniversary to get together with characters that were once foes, turned friends

So I decided to draw Christine's current art :DD

And decided to create an Arknights Abyss hunter outfit, heavily based off of Specter the Unchained yet I decided to add more siren-ish features on her outfit

And last but not least, I thought I'd be funny if Ophion and Fuxi were fighting for MC2 so I decided to draw that too

They'll probably be a follow-up post for this one later in which all The Genociders (and Salomon-kun because he is son) will be present to celebrate housamo 6th anniversary so stay tuned for that too
