The isekai genre has been a steadfast favourite among anime enthusiasts, and “The Eminence in Shadow” has proven itself to be a unique treasure within this vast and imaginative world. As the curtains rise for its second season this Fall ’23, fans are eagerly searching for platforms to catch every moment of Cid Kagenou’s adventures. If you’re wondering where to watch “The Eminence in Shadow” in sub and dub, look no further. We’ve got you covered!
Breaking the Isekai Mold with “The Eminence in Shadow”
Crafted by the talented team at Nexus, “The Eminence in Shadow” introduces us to a protagonist whose greatest joy lies in manoeuvring behind the scenes, a refreshing divergence from the typical overpowered (OP) main character narrative often seen in isekai anime. This unique twist has garnered a dedicated following, making its second season one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
But the question remains: where can you dive back into the world of shadows and intrigue? Let’s delve into the various streaming platforms to find out where “The Eminence in Shadow” is available for your viewing pleasure.
Searching for Shadows: Is It on Netflix?
Netflix, a global streaming giant, unfortunately, does not have “The Eminence in Shadow” in its extensive library, except in Japan. However, there’s a shimmer of hope that it might eventually secure rights for worldwide streaming once the current exclusive agreements come to an end. In the meantime, Netflix offers a plethora of other anime titles to quench your thirst for animated adventures.

Crunchyroll and Funimation: Any Luck There?
The situation is similar in both Crunchyroll and Funimation. “The Eminence in Shadow” is not available on either platform at this time. With the recent merger of these two streaming services, it’s likely that we’ll see fewer titles making their way to Funimation. However, Crunchyroll continues to be a treasure trove for anime lovers, hosting popular titles like “Chainsaw Man” and “My Hero Academia.”
Exploring Other Platforms: Hulu, HIDIVE, and Prime Video
Hulu, another popular streaming choice, does not feature “The Eminence in Shadow” in its catalogue. However, it does offer other acclaimed anime series, including “Code Geass” and “Fruits Basket,” as well as other isekai favourites like “Mushoku Tensei.”
The beacon of light for fans of “The Eminence in Shadow” shines from HIDIVE, which boasts exclusive rights to both seasons of the anime. Available in sub and dub, HIDIVE is streaming the series for regions including the US, the UK, and Europe, offering a 30-day free trial and a monthly subscription at $4.99.
Prime Video’s catalogue also does not widely feature “The Eminence in Shadow.” However, thanks to a partnership between HIDIVE and Prime Video, there’s a chance you might find the series available in your region, though it would mean forfeiting the HIDIVE 7-day free trial.
A Shadow in Japan: Disney+
For fans in Japan, Disney+ offers “The Eminence in Shadow,” adding another platform to the list where you can enjoy this captivating series. However, for viewers outside of Japan, the search continues.
