The trailer for the second season of the anime ''The Eminence in Shadow'' teases the ending theme

Kadokawa began streaming on Tuesday a commercial for the second television anime season of Daisuke Aizawa's The Eminence in Shadow (Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!) light novel series. The video previews the ending theme song "Polaris in the Night" by Shadow Garden Numbers — a group consisting of Ikumi Hasegawa, Maaya Uchida, Mayu Minami, and Ryōko Maekawa. 

The season will premiere on Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. JST on AT-X before airing on other networks. The season will have 12 episodes. HIDIVE will stream the anime, and will also stream an English dub on the same day as the Japanese premiere. 

HIDIVE and Kadokawa held a world premiere screening of the anime at Anime Expo on July 1 earlier this year. The main staff is returning for the second season at the studio Nexus. 

Plot of the story: 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! 

Kazuya Nakanishi is directing the anime at Nexus. Makoto Iino is adapting Tōzai's original character designs for animation. Kanichi Katou is overseeing the series scripts. Kenichiro Suehiro is composing the music.
