The Eminence in Shadow
The Eminence in Shadow streams on Netflix, HIDIVE, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu — and it's the funniest, most self-aware power-fantasy isekai going. Cid Kageno wants to be the mastermind lurking in the shadows; the joke is that the world-ending conspiracy he invents to play pretend turns out to be completely real.
About
Cid Kageno has one dream: to be neither hero nor villain, but the unseen power broker who pulls every string from the darkness. Reborn into a fantasy world, he cobbles together a secret organization and an elaborate backstory purely for his own chuunibyou amusement — and then discovers, to his obliviousness, that the shadowy cult and cosmic stakes he made up actually exist. His followers take his every improvised line as scripture while he stumbles into saving the world by accident. It's a comedy about a delusional edgelord who is somehow always right.
