Xaelath said: Disappointing. Generic isekai, with tons of bad writing. It's almost like everyone else aside from the MC become useless hero. Imagine throwing a very shallow combo and calling it their best. Random Deus ex machina whenever the party is losing. Melty and Motoyasu should just drop dead lmao. Other character is just as forgettable as the protagonist. It's actually explained why the other three heroes are so much weaker compare to Naofumi and his Party. 1.All of them treating the whole Situation like a simple videogame and putting their egos first. They seem to focus mostly on themselves, instead of their whole party. 2.The other Heroes believe to know everything about the world, because they played games with similar mechanics. In result: They miss out a lot of important gimmicks, due to their own pride and stubbornnes. 3.While the other 3 heroes rest on their fame and got everything from the royal family, Naofumi ended up receiving nothing and had to do different kinds of work to earn money and build his Party. He had to learn everything by trial and error and use the substance of monsters, to unlock more skill trees and different shields. The other heroes don't know about this function and only copy weapons to aquire new skills and boost their stats. I think the whole party of Naofumi got a great dynamic in battles, so I wouldn't say that everyone besides him is useless. Thats true! There is deus ex machina , but it wasn't out of nowhere. There was always foreshadowing at the beginning of the respective Episode. For example, the queen was preparing her army to face the church. Iam anime only and not a light novel reader, but that's how I understand the major difference between all of them. I hope the other 3 heroes get some development in terms of personality and strenght in the next seasons. Furthermore, i want more explainations about the curse of Naofumis shield and the motives of the King (why does he hate the shield hero and demis so much? What happened to his family?). |

Laughs in Light Novel spoilers. Anyway despite being enjoyable ride I found the main characters and side characters to be disconnected in the plotlines. Aside from the Naofumi party, it does felt like the other heroes parties and the people of the world has no common sense. It kind of annoy me how the author just throw that the other heroes is a dick and dumbasses. The saving grace from the story was the interesting world building based on mystery with good foundation, some unique waifus, revenge story, MC that's not completely happy goes lucky and a good anime production quality. I am sure they'll make a complete adaptation of the LN. |
| Thank god its finally over. Near the end it got pretty annoying how every female character began worshipping Naofumi. Raphtalia's change from the mindbroken slave to Naofumi's devoted slave (Worshipper?) who cant even live without being near him was pretty unnatural. Naofumi himself was alright, in the end he got what he wanted and he became a respected hero and got a harem. As for the villains, I cant say I liked any of them, lady in the kimono was somewhat interesting. |
| Another great anime comes to an end and we are yet again consumed in emptiness. The wait till April is going to be painful and long but I'm sure it's gonna be worth it. Till then let's continue watching more animes as to not let the emptiness consume us whole. Gonna go watch a 12 episode anime with a complete ending now, gotta get over this one or it'll be a problem lmao, the post-anime emptiness is dangerous. It made me really happy that Naofumi asked to become to lord of the area in which Raphtalia's village was and it made me even happier that so many people were helping Naofumi in order to restore the village. Also let's not forget the best man of this season, the weapon shop owner. That Raphtalia breakdown scene was sad but not sad enough to make me cry, still it had quite an emotional impact, if it wasn't already clear, it is now that Raphtalia loves Naofumi and I hope that Naofumi does too. And well we all know Filo loves Naofumi but probably the type of love they feel for Naofumi is different for both of them lol. The post-anime blues are strong man, I was too attached to this story and it's characters, no wonder this is the top upcoming anime of next season. The ending was great, Raphtalia's village has become like a home town for Naofumi in this world, I'm also really happy that they were able to rebuild the village and return it to it's earlier glory. The fact that Naofumi chose this village as his base shows that how much he cares for Raphtalia, afterall she was the one who "saved" Naofumi, I don't think Naofumi could have come this far if not for Raphtalia, she believed and trusted him when he needed it the most, Raphtalia truly the best girls, it really are the isekai's which give us the most best girls, first there's Emilia and then there's Raphtalia. And man it was so satisfying to see Raphtalia and Naofumi hug lol, don't think they have hugged since like when they fought that dog monster. Edit: I rewatched after reading some posta and turns out they kissed lol, what was that, I mean I didn't even notice it, well this just clears everything up, they are already a couple now, excellent, I'm content now. This was a pretty solid season, I originally rated it 10/10 but after the episode with the trash and bitch naming ceremony, the episodes became little slow and not so interesting so I deducted 1 point. I still loved this anime a lot and am thus rating it 9/10 overall. It gave me 2 really cute best girls, Raphtalia and Filo, thus expanding my best girls list, at this point I have so many best girls that there isn't enough space left in my signature to show them all. I haven't updated my signature but 7 more best girls are due to be added lol, one day I'll update it. Also I feel like I should take a moment to appreciate the OPs and EDs. The EDs are one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and the OPs are just pure hype, especially OP1. Looking forward to more of Naofumi, Raphtalia and Filo's adventures also won't forget Melty too, our cutest Tsundere of this anime xD. Really hope that the other 3 heroes actually start becoming like a hero instead of weak little cunts and that bitch is given life time of jail. April can't come fast enough, this Spring is jam packed and am all for it. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I burned out on episode 15 and 16 when they made those changes to the story from the manga and had that pretty underwhelming and random feeling cgi trex fight. However, I picked it back up for S2, and I’m glad I did, I really enjoyed the majority of the second half. And this episode was a great ending for S1! |
| There's something I don't understand, Glass and the other heros come to this word to destroy it because if they don't their own worlds get destroyed, and the leage of pathetic heros defend the world because if they don't... ? The whole reasoning behind this seems too written on the fly. It was nice that Naofumi chose to rule over Seyaette, but he has no skin in the game. His end game is to leave. Now if he had told Raphtalia that he had more permanent plans for the town, that would have made more sense. Hopefully season 2 helps with my questions. I'm still going give this anime a solid 8/10, most of that coming from the fact that Isekai is my thing. The story arc in each episode is well crafted for 23 minutes of animation, there's even a proper resolution to each episode where our heroes can catch their breath and revel in their victory, lick their wounds in defeat, or plan for tomorrows battle. Not a lot of shows do that properly, it's refreshing to see. Yeah, it's a typical harem, so what? I like harems. I still think Filo looks like an easter decoration. |
| It is finally over. This episode was fine, I still don’t get why Bitch gets to adventure around freely and why she still disrespects Naofumi after all he’s done. Shield Hero is poorly written but it definitely isn’t boring. I stopped caring about the writing like 4 episodes in but I couldn’t completely turn my brain off. Overall this anime was enjoyable trash with a ton of plot holes and contrivances but a few good moments too. It’s a solid 5/10 anime though it could’ve easily been better if they fixed up the writing a bit. Right now it just feels like a budget Mushoku Tensei. Time to watch season 2, hopefully it gets better! |
| When I saw that green-haired girl standing out for some episodes, I though she would be the regular comic relief. I never thought she would join Naofumi's party. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Aaah this series was kinda disappointing but with this ending all makes sense and it was so touching :') so niiiice <3 |
| You know the three stooges are useless when even a random clumsy background character has done more in the wave (throwing the alcohol barrels) than them. Overall I enjoyed the show but I do admit it had some weak writing in the plot especially with Myne and the King being comically evil with not much of a punishment in the end and the three stooges being so annoyingly moronic. |
 |
| An impressive anime. While the antagonists were too cheesy and superficial in portrayal for my liking most of the time, the interactions between other characters were more dynamic, even if they weren't entirely protagonistic. The pacing of different arcs and events was also impeccable, and it felt like they were always granted an appropriate amount of time to fulfil their purpose. Of course, I can't fault the animation or music either. |

| Well gahhdamn, it's about time they took Glass down |
 |
| Ended on a meh note. It wasn't the worst run but nothing exceptional. They had the source to really bring to life and make it shine. I never felt as though that was done here. But it certainly took its time where need be. Not rushing the overall production value nor leaving anything behind. It was a good adaption overall. |
 |
| Damn, feelin pretty bad for Glass here being defeated in an easy manner and what a cool finale. I saw the average score for season 2 and I wonder where it went wrong or maybe the expectations were too big from season 1? Oh well I guess I'll put it in PtW and watch it sometime in the future probably by the next few days. |
