Seems a little bare and basic so far.
I will say that I haven't read the manga, but I Talked to a friend who read it and they say that the manga is indeed better in every way so far. They said the burning building scene attracts more attention and draws you in more in the manga then the anime, then said the anime doesn't do it justice. Take that as you will.
Cons:
1> The Story really doesn't draw attention in. I could compare this to Berserk of Gluttony that released this season (I know its a different theme) which has a really well paced episodic

My first impressions on Shy? The premise screams on repeat with recent trend of superhero anime. Although Shy has yet to achieve a mainstream level of stardom, it has a premise attached that reflect on that recent trend. Most people would point fingers at My Hero Academia for setting the standard in recent years. When we look at Shy, we need to ask ourselves if this is really just another copy-paste superhero show or one that truly made an identity of itself.
Before we even jump into the main story and characters, it's noticable that the season consists of just 12 episodes. With the manga running ... Dec 21, 2023
Shy is… interesting. This show instantly had me hooked since it takes a somewhat different approach to the superhero genre of entertainment and actually focuses on how the struggles of the heroes directly impact the lives of those around them, especially the ones they’re trying to save. The main theme surrounding this anime is focused on one’s heart: how one either closes it off, opens their heart to others in order to form a connection, or how it is exploited by others. The devices that the superheroes use harness their hearts in order to transform into their alter egos as well as use their super

The Fall 2023 anime season boasts an impressive lineup, but unfortunately, Shy doesn't quite rise to the occasion.
Out of the 25 or so I’m in the middle of at this moment I finally got around to starting this one yesterday, I stopped at episode 3. Today as I went to resume I had that “do I really want to?” feeling. So I dropped it, in a season so chock full of entertaining options it’s hard to justify the time expenditure on this anime. Pros: Art: The visual appeal is undeniable. The art style is captivating, with beautifully rendered characters and scenes. VA: While it may have been ... Nov 30, 2023
I have mixed feelings about this anime.
I was really lookin forward to see this show because it is a kind of genre i do enjoy but as I keep watching this anime became more and more boring. I do not know how to say it in other words but "Shy" is not captivating enough. I do not look forward to watch new episodes. The anime itself is not bad. I would say the show is pretty much fine but not really enjoyable in the way you can not wait for new episodes to release. The characters are pretty likeable though and nice written. They have an intresting ... Jul 30, 2024
SHY has some nnnnnice character design and quite ddddecent animation bbbbut the dialogue in SHY is so boring. Teru the main character is a very sssshy girl and is just not interesting at all. She is not very confident so cccconstantly doubts herself, she gives off pick me girl energy.
If reading this annoyed you, this is exaclty how Teru talks, she constantly stutters and is always surprised because of her lack of confidence. The villain group are way more interesting because they actually seem to have a background story and more personality in their left toe than the MC. I give this a Mixed Feelings ... Dec 18, 2023
Oh boy, this was such a shame. This was one of the few new anime that aired in Fall that I actually seen videos hyping it up, however the show itself is just meh.
Let's go over the plot briefly, after world war 3 the whole world somehow unites in peace, and now there's heroes all across the globe that represent their countries, and we follow Shy, who is Japan's hero. Real name Teru, Shy is a middle school girl who's socially awkward but is still a good hero despite that. We get introduced to I think 6 heroes all together across the season. Japan's hero obviously, ... Jan 31, 2024
Title: Shy: A Thoughtful Blend of Shounen and Shoujo, Focused on Heartfelt Drama
Shy is a unique anime that skillfully treads the line between shounen and shoujo, offering viewers a refreshing and engaging experience. With a reluctant but determined hero at its center, the series combines good animation with a narrative that leans towards drama rather than action, creating a distinctive and emotionally resonant story. The animation quality in Shy is commendable, providing a visually appealing backdrop to the unfolding drama. While not necessarily groundbreaking, the animation serves the story well, capturing the essence of both shounen and shoujo elements without compromising on quality. What sets Shy apart ... |
