Some people aren’t suited to play your flashy, face-to-face hero or smug, mustached villain with greater fanfare than in real life. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull social strings through intelligence and wit. That is the role Cid wants to play when he is transported to another world. Cid spins a thread or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization fighting against a threatening cult (which he completely fabricated). However, there is a downside that not even his wild imagination could foresee: the cult he created did indeed exist, and they were displeased because his illusions of power hindered him. their evil plan!
This year’s Anime Expo will return to Los Angeles on July 1-4. The convention recently discontinued the Premium Fan Badge system.
