The Eminence in Shadow plot:

The international audience can now watch The Eminence in Shadow season 2 on HIDIVE. The streaming service offers both English subbed and dubbed versions. HIDIVE provides a brief synopsis of the anime:

Not everyone is cut out to be a flamboyant hero or a stereotypical villain. Some prefer to work from the shadows, manipulating society with their intelligence and cunning. This is the role that Cid aspires to when he finds himself transported to a different world.

Cid weaves tales and unexpectedly becomes the leader of the underground Shadow Garden, a group that opposes a threatening cult (which he completely fabricated). But, to his surprise, the cult he invented is real, and they are infuriated that his illusory grandeur has disrupted their wicked agenda!
