The Anime Order

19 suggestions, most-recommended first

Anime like The Eminence in Shadow

650 people recommend Overlord to anyone who liked The Eminence in Shadow — more than any other title. The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat is second on 432 votes and The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History’s Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants third on 254. 16 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched The Eminence in Shadow and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Six of the 19 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished The Eminence in Shadow and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Overlord follows The Eminence in Shadow, only that 650 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

6 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Overlord , That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime , Mushoku Tensei , Konosuba , Code Geass , Frieren: Beyond Journey's End .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
