Interesting enough premise but clumsy plotting. Visually cheap. It may work in a game but not so much as a 12-episode series.

Anime Review: The Eminence in Shadow
Amusing main character who has delusions of grandeur and wants to play hero. But he is actually very capable and what he thinks is a fictional cult is real. Moderately intriguing and entertaining comedy that mildly parodies the fantasy genre.
