In the spirit of April Fools, Aiming and Team Caravan jokingly announced its anime RPG The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden is collaborating with Sanrio. Sanrio characters Pompompurin, Hello Kitty, and Pochacco will aid Cid in his missions in The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden.
Crunchyroll Games brought The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden to the west on May 25, 2023, for PC via Windows client. The PC version supports cross-play and cross-progression with the existing global Android and iOS versions of The Eminence in Shadow: Master of Garden. Fans will be able to download the PC version from the official website, excluding East Asia, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Eminence in Shadow anime are available to stream right now on HIDIVE with English dubs and subs. A new anime film, The Eminence in Shadow – Lost Echoes, is in the works.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the anime series via HIDIVE:
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!
