The recent anime The Eminence in Shadow ( Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! ) gained a legion of fans with just the first season, and as it prepares for the release of its second, the star voice behind the anime's main character revealed the surprising reason for the anime's success around the world. The Eminence in Shadow quickly caught fans' attention, as its main character, Cid Kagenou, is just playing at being a hero.
During the Anime Expo 2023 event, Seiichiro Yamashita (who voices Cid Kagenou in the anime) opened up by saying that Eminence in Shadow became much bigger as a result, thanks to the mixing of cultures between Japan and international territories.
The Eminence in Shadow – The surprising reason for the anime’s success revealed
“I feel like I’m representing Japan, lol,” Yamashita began. “I'm here in [Los Angeles] for the first time, and seeing the culture, it's so different – just walking around and interacting with people. There is a difference in personality and I could feel it directly. The Japanese personality is a detail. Which culture is better – it doesn’t matter Japan takes something and polishes it. I think this allowed the anime to spread far and wide with its quality. The Internet is obviously huge. It's amazing now to see the community there and the demand is there for [Eminence in Shadow]. The demand is global and is met with lots of laughter. Walking through [Anime Expo], I was so impressed to see the anime community. It’s powerful.”
