Back in December, we learned the anime adaptation of Daisuke Aizawa’s The Eminence in Shadow would be getting a theatrical film. Now we’ve got a trailer for that film, which is titled The Eminence in Shadow – Lost Echoes.
The trailer doesn’t reveal a release date, only stating that the film is in production. It does have a few staff members listed, including director Kazuya Nakanishi, screenwriter Kanichi Kato, and character designer Makoto Iino, all returning from the TV anime.
We’ll share more info on this film as it becomes available. Meanwhile, here’s how Yen Press describes Aizawa’s The Eminence in Shadow novels:
Even in his past life, Cid’s dream wasn’t to become a protagonist or a final boss. He’d rather lie low as a minor character until it’s prime time to reveal he’s a mastermind…or at least, do the next best thing—pretend to be one! And now that he’s been reborn into another world, he’s ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal—and everyone knows the truth but him!
