The second video of the anime ''The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season'' reveals an additional cast and debut in October 

The live-streamed "Kage-Jitsu Fes" special debuted the second promotional video for the second television anime season of Daisuke Aizawa's The Eminence in Shadow (Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) light novel series on Sunday. The video reveals the second anime season's additional cast members, October premiere, and 12-episode length. 

The newly announced cast members are:

• Tsuyoshi Koyama as Juggernaut

• Shizuka Itou as Yukime

• Tomokazu Sugita as Crimson

• Ai Kakuma as Mary

The main staff is returning for the second season at the studio Nexus. The first season of the anime premiered in October 2022, and it ended on February 15. 

HIDIVE is streaming the anime and plans to stream the second season. 

Plot: Some people just aren't suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That's the role Cid wants to play when he's transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there's a catch even his wild imagination didn't see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they're beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!
