YossaRedMage said: What on earth does the pre-airing hype have to do with the quality of a show? If you feel lied to because you bought in to the hype then that's your problem. Look, I agree that the writing is seriously bad at times. But I would call it inconsistent rather than completely terrible. The first few episodes, some of the SOL-esque stuff between the first and second waves, the second wave (kinda) were all very good to fine. Only everything involving Myne and the Royal Family after the first wave has been bad in my opinion/ I really think you should listen to people saying you should wait until it's finished becasue who knows if the quality will pick up again. Personally, I doubt it, but still... And if you want to voice complaints, keep them legitimate first of all, which you have done by focusing on writing. Tired of hearing fucking normies complain about loli characters, but I think you've focused on the writing so it's all good. Haven't read everything you've written though. Second of all try to do without sounding like you're an angry asshole. It's a forum, we have no idea if you're really an angry asshole, but it looks that way. Lastly don't give me that crap about rating on MAL not meaning anything because people don't use the whole scale. All that matters is the order and the averaged scores are still broken down in to two decimal places which gives plenty of room to distinguish between shows. There are lots of good shows rated less than Shield Hero and you can boil that down to poor taste or seasonal bias if you like (I'll even agree slightly) but the fact reamins a lot of people really like the show. Pre-airing hype has nothing to do with the quality of a show, but it does make the deficit in quality more remarkable. Plenty of shows are airing right now that are worse than Shield Hero but they lack the following. As for the writing, in absolute terms, it has ranged from average to bad, with latter episodes have had progressively worse writing. I disagree that the first episodes had anything but bad writing; the entire setup of this series was rushed and contrived, something that I have been saying since day one. I went into this series with an open mind, knowing nothing about it, and the writing problems were immediately apparent. I am kind of an asshole so it makes sense that I sound like one. |
VeryLTTP said: Aniteku said: Also this ben kinda bugging me a bit but crits and haters of this show keep using the word "bad writing" like its they catchfrase to hate on something but isnt suppose to be "bad directing" instead? Just trying to understand, so calling it bad writing isnt the same as attacking the source material? Isnt that a bit off? Why are you guys attacking the source when the only thing you saw was the anime and the words of some people? It makes for a pretty good drinking game, so at least the "bad writing" catchphrase isn't totally banal. And when it comes to directing vs writing, I think the adaptation is dragged down more by the former. The beginning of Episode 15 is an obvious example of bad directing because it isn't just that the scene was changed from the LN/manga, but it also sets up inconsistent characterization. The zombie dragon fight in Episode 8 is another such example of where the directing was more of an issue, not the writing. idk if bad directing has anything to do with 0 iq , one dimensional antagonists are they actually less pepega in the source? i still can't get over the fact how awful the older Melomarc sister is and how everyone drones over her because she has a vagina. |

Low_res_Hibiki said: I really didnt understand the filolial queen at all, like, she said that she knew about how human countries discriminate against the shield hero but expects naofumi to convince the other heroes to get along? wtf Also she said that the heroes should fight in different countries, so if they cant get along like she wants cant they just have naofumi figthing in another country? why kill the heroes in that case? and if she kills them how are the new summoned low level heroes even manage to repel the waves? and the royalty would still try to fuck up the new shield hero, nothing would change. I hope we dont see more of the filolial queen after next ep, she's a pretty shit character tbh You see, the writers/author realized that at this point in the story Naofumi actually needs some kind of character arc. So, learning to overcome his cynical, bitter edgelord persona is his new internal struggle and opportunity for "growth". I haven't read into the lore, but I am sure that there will be some pepega reason why all the heroes must fight together to "unlock their powers" or somesuch. |
| So Melromarc somehow got this monopoly on the heroes and the waves of other countries are just handled by the Filolial raised by a previous hero. Oh boy I can't wait for the show to finally shove us a real antagonist or expand the scope beyond the politics of Naofumi and the other 3 heroes within this one kingdom. Let's hope the 2 morons finding the hidden archive drives the story forward somemore. I'm really sick of the constant cycle of the king and that bitch princess being a dick to Naofumi, the other heroes being utter incompetents and people advising Naofumi on working together for the greater good. It's being overdone and I'm tired of it. |

genesic123 said: Yourmom53 said: What do you mean by twists and turns everything that happened is boring and predictable with everyone with a brain teaming up with Naofumi and people who are against him are immoral morons. What predictable?Even now you see that the heros have a consicence, and there are underlying politics behind the heros. Do thay have giant chickens and dinosaurs slugging it out?How many isekai really try to be an adventure? There arent any notable isekai that have politics done right like this.That is a big unique thing. That's not entirely true. Politics are playing a big role in 12 Kingdoms and are portrayed better than in Shield Hero. It's also one of the best Isekai, though not many seem to know it. |

Tentaman said: Was it just me, or was the animation from the battles in this episode actually pretty good? I mean, apart from the acceptable CGI, I feel like this is one of the better animated episodes in terms of battle animation. I don’t know, just my opinion. Also, that battle with the Rex was pretty damn fast, but then again, Fitoria is stupidly powerful to begin with. I can pretty much say that as a source material reader, this episode trumps the last one. I was pretty darn pissed that they changed the scene with Idol and made it cliched as hell. This episode on the other hand, was adapted much better (atleast to me) i think after episode 12 the animation is more clean and good or its just me? |
| Good episode to me. Much needed info and it seems the Sword and Bow heroes are finally digging up on the conspiracy. I got to agree with the Queen I feel if things don't get better they can just start over. I'll gladly take the risk with low level heroes. If all countries are supposed to summon a hero it sounds more doable to be able to support them with a party, supplies etc then just one country clearly showing favorites among the four they summon. Aniteku said: Funny how people disliking the cliffhangers but is the only thing promice neverland had and was praised Its what throwing me off also. People also praised it back then with Code Geass. It doesn't matter if the characters were great or all it was clearly there for a surprise/shock value. |

| A mysterious girl with wings talking about a certain queen? If I'm not mistaken; she's the same girl that appears in the opening, and by “queen”, I can only predict it has something to do with Raphtalia, both of them are demi-humans, she's probably going to be that one that would unite all other demi-humans or something, not going to lie, it has some premise, let's hope the execution is just as great. On a second notice, Filo makes a lot more sense than Raphtalia, I should probhably only strart typing these speculations once ghe episode ends. It looks as thought Naofuli is unconciousely folowing on the same spteps as his ancestor heroes by rasing up a Filolial too. “KFC farm” ? That probably the darkest thing Naofumi ever said. That dragon is as horrible as the polygons that make form it. This is a very interesting episode, I didn't like the animation at the first half, especialy on the part where the Filolial queen was introduced and defeated that dragon, it was jsut, yikes. However, and this is something Iwondered about before, it seems that these waves of catastrophe are happening all over the world, on probably what makes 4 countries. For each its own hero, very interesting indeed. I hope news of this break out, this corrupt country should be exposed. |
genesic123 said: Yourmom53 said: Literally every Isekai is an adventure and the politics in this series is crap in fact just watch Here and Now Then and There for a good Isekai story Yourmom53 said: Literally every Isekai is an adventure and the politics in this series is crap in fact just watch Here and Now Then and There for a good Isekai story Bullshit.Sure,they do have them.They are meaningless to even matter.Most of them Just focus on the power fantasy aspect.Unless you think that SAO has NGNL has. Now and then is too obscure and not notable.you dont even backup what you say.We are talking about the iseaki of this era.Watching x anime is not an argument. I dont even know where to start with this, but I'll give it the old college try. Overlord and Slime have more coherent political aspects than this dumpster fire, at least they have some semblance of reasons and goals as opposed to sheild bro bad and they both might as well be comedies. Now and Then is far from obscure, Isekai of the era? yeah sure I'll give you that, they're all pretty much the same |
| Um, “The Four Cardinal Heroes are are meant to be summoned to one country each and help them fight the Waves.” “Heroes are supposed to work together.” Is this some strange definition of “together”? If they’re in different countries… “I know the Shield Hero has always been scorned by human supremacist countries.” “As much as humans and demi-humans might hate each other, It is unacceptable for heroes to be fighting.” So the Shield Hero is a demi-human? “Honestly, I don’t care what happens to humans. I fight because the hero who raised me asked me to.” So you were raised by a demi-human Shield Hero? |
| One thing I really like about this series is how much the past heroes that we pretty much know nothing about affected the present our characters are living in, really adds to the world building in a great way |

| This show is so good?? Wtf |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| I don't even care that much anymore at this point cause of the butchery they did in the prev ep but considering I'm still willing to watch this despite the BS writting and changes they're doing means I'd still prefer watching through this than your typical generic random guy that dies and suddenly turns OP MC BS in an isekai show. The show ain't bad, it could have been better or rather could have been one of the best isekai stories out there if they stayed true to the story and characters but they didn't.... |

| Ah Fitoria is beautiful. Also don't kill heroes, pls kill myne :) |

| Sasuga Filolial Loli Queen, Beating that T-rex easily. Hmm... If she does decide to kill all four of them because of their internal problem, that would be really bad even if they can summon another set of heroes. Cause you know, leveling up and all. |

| I think this episode might've been my least favorite. Bad animation (More specifically the CG.) I couldn't even watch the fight between the big Filolial and the T-Rex cause it just looked awful. The dialogue was also very weak. Kind of reminds me of all the jokes about In another world with my smartphone's weak dialogue and presentation. Over all, I disliked this episode. |

| T-Rex cgi was awful but the episode was awesome as always, can't wait for the next |
 |
| so, when they were running from the heroes+bi*tchy princess (who is not really helpful during the last wave), naofumi without second thought decided to use rage shield. even when their life is not on the line (yet). but here, when they were convinced that this t-rex is super dangerous and definitely their life is on the line, he decided not to use it. so unconsistent. if you are not going to use the rage shield, don't use it. if you are, then just use it every single time you are fighting. |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| Yet another animal loli for the Shield Hero's party, why am I still watching this shit lol |

Hatsuyuki said: I am watching this show almost as disconnected as I watched Index III for the previous 2 seasons. I really don't care about any of these characters because the writing is just that bad. Also what a magnificent CGI spectacle we have witnessed this episode. The ridiculously high score this show has is downright outrageous and insulting to other anime. We're on the same ried it seems. I don't really care about the animation, it could be entirely CGI but if it has a good story it will be worth it for me at least. Tate no Yuusha has great animation imo, but I think the same as you about the story, it sucks dick and it doesn't even follows what it says. For example, Naofumi tried to explain what happend but nobody believed him, and now he says he never tried, wtf. Also, if you want to kill all the heroes to spawn new ones, the new ones would be lvl 1 and will be even more shitty. |

| That giant Tyrannosaurus-like monster was surely a pain in the arse. He seemed to be overpowered, but when Fitoria appeared on the battlefield I had to change my mind. ;D It was so cool when suddenly giant bird appeared, accompanied with army of Filolials, and started wrecking that T-Rex. I liked also the moment when they ate together and Naofumi made some more food for Filolials as well. It definitely created bonds with new friends (although talking about KFC farm was not necessary, however it was funny xD ). Whole place, despite being ruins, looked picturesquely. Animation of Fitoria walking on stone fence and talking with Naofumi reminded me of animes telling a fairy tale. I guess that was the purpose of portraying these scenes like that. :-) If yes, then the final result looked great. I wonder what is Fitoria's true mission. I suppose she had many adventures with the Hero from the past she mentioned, and his thoughts crafted her idea of all heroes cooperating or having to die to give space for another ones. Tertium non datur. I'm wondering what will happen next. However, what I dislike is again putting Naofumi in position of somebody who needs to feel guilty, because all heroes can't get on well. Somebody who is being bullied and despised by almost everyone must feel bad, because he is not capable of accepting being treated as trash by other heroes and discriminated because of his Shield. I mean, why other heroes do not get preaches like that? :| Tentaman said: Was it just me, or was the animation from the battles in this episode actually pretty good? I mean, apart from the acceptable CGI, I feel like this is one of the better animated episodes in terms of battle animation. I don’t know, just my opinion. In my oppinion it was average. During first scenes it looked average, later T-Rex looked fine, but only fine. This CGI was not bad, but was not very good either. The whole battle was well directed, dynamic and full of well-executed effects. Too bad that T-Rex stood out in terms of quality. Its model was good, but animation was sloppy and you could easily say he does not belong essentially to the artstyle used previously, lol. Or maybe I am grumpy? ;p By the way, did I understand it correctly? Each big kingdom in Shield Hero's universe has its own dedicated hero? Then why Melromarc can have all 4 of them? It leaves other countries without their dedicated protection, lol. I hope it will be explained in further episodes. Last but not least, I dunno why so many people mistaken Keel for a girl. Sure, at first he looked like a girl, but later you could clearly say he was a boy. :P |

| Well Queen you think Naofumi wants to fight the other heroes? I think you need to go convince THEM! |
 |
| Everyone's asking Naofumi to make up with the others lol why not ask them? Also of course the queen is a loli of course. Would it hurt to have a milf for a change? Goddammit. |
 |
Fitolia is really cute as well as her carriage! She's really strong too. I'm against of Naofumi reconciling with the other 3 heroes because they are all asshile but let's see what will happen |

| Big chicken vs. T-Rex... that sure was a bizarre confrontation. Fitoria seems to be an intriguing character but I don't really understand her logic of killing the heroes who are supposed to protect the world. Sure, they can summon new ones but with the waves approaching, it would be really dumb to start from scratch with four new Lv. 1 heroes. Anyways, it was an average episode overall. Not really that interesting if I'm honest. I wonder when the Queen will show up... |
| Why should the heroes get along? Just sent them to different kingdoms and done. Although, they get transported immediately when a wave appears. Is it the one they are the closer to? Hopefully they'll explain it. |

| foolish bird queen if u kill shield hero u will stay as wueen cause filo will die first before she lets u kill him |
| So that giant T-Rex was after Filo the whole time. I'm not sure what that violet glimmer means on Filos belly but at least they were able to lure that T-Rex outside of the town. The T-Rex was way to strong. Not a single attack was working and right before Naofumi wanted to use his wrath shield a voice was to hear. The appearance of the queen of the Filorias was definitely spectecular. She's so big and so strong. With a single attack she was able to kill the T-Rex. I wonder about that crystal she took. Also the fact she was warning Naofumi not to use his wrath shield or absorbing the material of the T-Rex made me skeptical. The conversation Naofumi had with Fitoria was interesting. So she also got raised by an hero. I can't believe there are waves all over the world. But who could have known that? Naofumi knows absolute nothing outside of Melonmark. So Itsuki and Ren pursue investigations of the church of Melonmark. Should be interesting to see what they will find. Fitoria doesn't seem to understand that it isn't Naofumis false. I mean how can you get along with people who hunt you or want to kill you? But now shit just got real. Does Fitoria really want to kill the heros? Oh boy. I'm curious to see how this will turn out. |
 |
| Fitoria showed up aka Another Loli character, this episode was boring, but okay, I wonder what happened to 1st Shied Hero. |
| Another new loli appears! |
