The highly anticipated Fall 2023 anime season will feature The Eminence In Shadow Season 2 as one of its headliners. Recently, a brand-new trailer for the series was released, offering fans a closer look at what's in store for Cid Kagenou and his Shadow Garden. Additionally, the official premiere date for the second season has been announced: October 4. Following the success of its first season, The Eminence In Shadow has become a highly anticipated anime for Fall 2023. Studio Nexus will once again adapt the popular light novel series for this new season.

Season 2 Of The Eminence In Shadow Will See Cid Take On The Blood Queen

Introducing 'Grayscale Dominator' by OxT, the opening song in the trailer. Set in the Lawless City, a hub of crime and corruption, the upcoming season unravels an array of intriguing characters. Of particular interest is the Blood Queen, a vampire who has been in a deep slumber for an extensive period in the Lawless City and is now on the cusp of awakening. The trailer showcases the emergence of a deep red moon, serving as a sign of her impending reawakening. Here's an official summary of the season:

Deep within the Lawless City lies the Blood Queen, a Progenitor Vampire, slumbering in her coffin for an extended period. Cid, having a knack for getting into trouble, shouldn't be pursuing her, but his curiosity is getting the best of him. He's eager to be part of the action and is ready to abandon his usual persona to become Shadow. However, he soon discovers that he's not the only one with this idea. The Lawless City's three rulers, Juggernaut the Tyrant, Yukime the Spirit Fox, and Crimson the vampire, are chasing after him. To complicate matters further, the Shadow Garden arrives just as the Blood Queen's awakening draws near.

Season 1 covered the first 2 volumes of the light novels in 20 episodes. Season 2, on the other hand, will consist of only 12 episodes and will focus solely on the Red Moon Incident Arc. While this may disappoint some fans, the shorter season will allow the producers to invest more time and effort into ensuring its quality. The Eminence in Shadow has gained recognition as one of the most successful and unique contributions to the popular isekai genre, thanks to the charismatic protagonist, Cid Kagenou, and a well-rounded supporting cast. Fans can look forward to an exciting second season of The Eminence in Shadow, available on HIDIVE starting October 4, 2023.
