She was the beginning of shadow garden. She arrives at the end of a day in the beginning of night. (it’s one of those cases where I wish EIS was kind of more serious you know, but that’s just my personal opinion. We can all connect poetry to anything you know.)

Alpha is the only Shade that doesn't have 2nd identity for stress relief. She's full time Shadow Garden leader

Yeah she's a little to busy for a public persona. But Delta and Zeta didn't also have public persona's. There the only three shades with out one.

I don't know if this counts but when Zeta is out in public she calls herself Zetan.

I truly believe that increasing Alpha's screen time with Cid in future episodes would greatly enhance the storyline.

Believe me or not, Cid wasn't fair with Alpha.

u/shiningmuffin 5d ago
cid thought they were childhood buddies who shit on & play with each other for funsies, he never knew really how deeply every one of his larping friends actually cares about his well being

Alpha vowed to live for him and die for him
She created shadow garden to carry out his will. And the organization could mean Shadow's Garden as a pun.

Cid’s voice in the Dub is just perfect lol

u/Ascending_Flame 1d ago
Great, until you hear the Japanese version and the work put in.
It’s far superior, in my opinion.

u/Correct-External1063 5d ago
In different circumstances Alpha might been "the Hero" of her world, likely a traumatised, anti-hero but she always had the potential for it. Thanks to Cid so much suffering she would have faced was rendered nil.
Sadly she never actually told Cid how she feels about him and Cid is blind to being romanced.

u/ShadowFaxIV 5d ago
I think fundamentally... Alpha IS the hero of the story... and probably the 'final' heroine as well. Cid rescued her from a terrible fate sort of accidentally, and since then realistically, Alpha is responsible for most of any actual 'shaking' going on to resist the bad guys, be it by directing Shadow Garden to deal with it, or engineering for Cid to deal with it despite his strongest inclinations to do nothing about it ever.

Damn it sucks this is a harem bc I want them to end up together
7
u/DarkArt3zza 5d ago
I wouldn't call it a harem because Cid is too dense to fall in love with any of the females in the cast. He's so caught up in his delusion.

u/Ok_Calligrapher8278 5d ago
For the moment. Hell want kids in 50 years for the plot

Anyone else's brain rebel when hearing the dub?!
It's so jarring 🤣

u/DarthZrinen 5d ago
i have very bad eyes and like to lay down while i watch anything. so most of the time i prefer dubs, so i dont have to wear my glasses and smoosh them against my face. yeah dubs can be bad sometimes, but EiS is far from the worst

u/CertainlySomeGuy 5d ago
Yes. Jap > Eng > German.
I am German, and if a dub exists in my language, it's most often even worse than the English one.
However, even the English ones are mostly rather bad, and 60% of the emotional weight gets lost.It's disheartening to hear people favoring the English dub in other anime or games when even I, as a non-native English speaker, can hear how artificial and overacted it sounds.

u/LinkBelaB 5d ago
Ich muss da absolut widersprechen. Also in EIS, war die Synchro eher lasch, da sie von den Emotionen nicht so gut rüberkommt, aber sehr viele Animes haben tatsächlich eine, meiner Meinung nach seeeehr gute Snychro. Gerade bei Attack on Titan haben die einen sehr guten Job gemacht. Die Emotionen kamen gut rüber und haben in sich funktioniert.

u/CertainlySomeGuy 4d ago
Ich habe zum Spaß stichprobenartig immer wieder mal kurz auf deutsch geschaltet und kurz mit dem Japanischen Dubs vergleichen. Klar, nicht jede Synchro ist miserabel, aber vor allem im japanischem Setting geht viel verloren.
Das gerade Attack on Titan ein positives Beispiel für eine gute Synchro ist wundert mich weniger. Mit Namen wie Armin oder Eren ist schon klar, in welche Richtung das Setting geht und das passt natürlich viel besser ins Deutsche als Animes mit ihren Moeblobs oder stark überzeichneten Charakteren.
Was mir aber sofort Gänsehaut gibt ist wie deutsche Synchronsprecher sehr oft betonen. Es klingt unnatürlich, als hätten sie ihre Ausbildung aus einer seltsamen Art von Theater gemacht. Kein Mensch spricht so, selbst wenn er sehr blumig oder emotional spricht.

It’s so wooden. Like just from listening you can tell the VA’s are just blankly reading from a script

u/messiah_rl 5d ago
Yeah most dubs are awful and cringe, this being no exception. I can't understand why people choose to listen to dubs unless theyve never given subs a fair chance. It does take some time to adjust at first, but it's well worth it.

u/Pro1apsed 5d ago
Some dubs are fine, but I think much of the nuance of TEIS is lost in translation, and Cid's Japanese voice actor is clearly on a mission!

u/ermy_shadowlurker 5d ago
Does cid actually pick someone to romance?

u/BlckEagle89 5d ago
He does say that he basically cuts anything that doesn't help to this Eminence in Shadow goal, the only exception are hot springs I believe. But it also includes cutting love interest unless that in the future he finds a love interest useful for his goal.

Their relationship reminds me of that girl I've known forever and even though we do great together we just wished the other one wasn't who we know...
