Seriously, Naofumi could be less harsh towards his companions... they belong to that small group of people that actually like and support Shield Hero... :|

Filo is a queen? Cool! A talented queen that is not afraid of various activities, let's add. Filo can fight, transform, move fast, pull the wagon. :)

Aaand we had that classic "glare fight", characteristic for harem animes.

It's amazing how passionate some people can get over an anime they don't like.

Innit? It's even more amazing to see people ranting about one or two scenes that happened weeks ago in this or another anime, haha.

He is supposed to have trust issues now because he has been betrayed or shunned by everyone else in the story. As a bonus this solidifies his character as an anti-hero edgelord.

Been a while since I watched an anime that wasn't painful to watch. Sure it has it's tropes but it doesn't feel clammy.

Or siblings' rivalry for parent's attention. Filo is technically a monster, she is few days old and acts like a small kid, there is no reason for Raphtalia to consider her a threat. Raphtalia herself is rather immature, nothing to see here.

Anime is now using volume 2 material, by volume 14 nothing really changes. The are two more characters who kinda-but-not-really interested in Naofumi, but it is just a comic relief. The story is focused on adventures rather then romance. It's a good idea I think, there is no reason to hurry as long as people buy LNs.

QFT. We do tend to forget due to seeing her mostly in her loli form and being more used to shapeshifting humanoids that the bird form is still her true form and the human form is most likely a result of her camouflage ability that would normally be used to make her look like a normal filolial, but, since she's accompanied by (demi)humans now, the form she takes is adjusted accordingly as well.

Hmm hmm ...
And yes, about Filo, she is not here as a love interest.
We know we had a lot of Isekai where the hero have a harem ...
But here it's not the case.
Look at Slime Tensei where you have the two onis girls and stuff ...
But here ? Just Raphtalia.

I just finish all 6 ep.
At first ep. I thought Naofumi gonna be weak the whole anime, and this anime gonna be borning. But WOW I really like the anime and I like Naofumi's character now. He seems strong but still kind.
Raphtalia & Filo is so cute. I can't wait to see what this time gonna do in the future.

I love Firo. She's pretty much the main source of comic relief for the story.


The fact that Raphtalia is developing feelings for the Shield Hero because of her rapid growth and maturity in itself is comic relief since he seems to not notice her exponential growth and her feelings. And her Tsundere attitude from his lack of awareness and feelings adds comical relief as well to Filo

@VeryLTTP i don't think you can defend the notion that TnY is not a harem. As long s the show has at least two female characters fawning over a protagonist, we have a harem anime.

This observation is also utterly and completely meaningless and tells exactly nothing about the story in question. By that metric, something like SAO and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry are as much a harem as something like Negima, Asterisk or Mahouka.

I love Firo-chan! I love how she transforms in to a fastass chicken and gobbles up someone else's lunch. She's adorable as a fat chicken and she looked so fucking pissed after she got a crest. She looks so fucking cute when she's pissed.



I loved the part where she sang while pulling that carriage. She loves that carriage so much, she earned it after smashing Spear Hero's vienna sausage. Her Fast Tornado and Raph's mirage was a great combination.

Also, Naofumi is smart. I love this man. He exchanged the bandits' lives for their loot. He doesn't have to worry about getting some supplies for a while at least.

He's really lucky, the first few people he met in this world were utter garbage but ever since he changed, he's been meeting all the right people like that accessory merchant.

I definitely agree with your 2nd paragraph because the observation says very little about the story, though I will have to respectfully disagree with the 1st paragraph. However, I think I see where you're coming from in that some shows are more 'haremy' than others.

Well, I'm kind of indifferent about Filo. She is cute, but at the same time I don't really like her that much so far. I preferred when it was just Naofumi and Raphtalia, but I guess we'll need new characters in their party sooner or later.
Raphtalia's jealousy was amusing. Though it's a bit weird knowing that a few episodes ago she was only a child. She clearly knows what she wants from Naofumi, and not just a father figure, but we'll see what they do with it.
I'm pretty sure spear-guy took that cursed seed of course, the effect of which we will probably see next episode.

Yeah, I know, but still he should cherish the fact of having these few allies nearby.

Can be, but we can't be sure whether it's related to their rivalry as potentially Naofumi's girlfriend candidates, or just as siblings fighting for attention of the person they like and who is taking care of them.

I haven't read LN nor manga, but it sounds rather not brightly. Adventures are awesome and they fit Shield Hero perfectly, but when it comes to having more and more adventures, then a show might suffer from a surfiet of it. Personally, I like when the story in anything (doesn't matter if it is an anime, a manga, a movie, a book etc.) simply evolves and is trying to moderately surprise its viewer without the feeling of a plot standing still in the same spot.

As I said, I haven't read Shield Hero's manga nor LN, so I cannot judge whether there is a glut of Naofumi and his friends' adventures.

Yes, I agree. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that he would still be brooding and bitter when he pretty much has entire towns ready to worship at his feet, not to mention the support of his companions and other influential allies.

Let's add to it the fact that Naofumi is not like i.e. Goblin Slayer who experienced way more bad things in his life, yet is able to slowly evolve as a friend and a member of society. Naofumi seems to stay in one spot all the time. I hope that later we will see a change in his behaviour as well.

I wouldn't call him bitter, not truly. He has never tried to hurt or intentionally be cruel to other people instead he puts up this 'bitter' facade to avoid emotionally getting hurt again. He still lets the goodness in his heart guides his actions and that should speak louder than his words. To me, that is the mark of a hero.

Bitterness in this case has nothing to do with trying to "hurt or intentionally be cruel to other people". Some definitions that apply to this situation:

Angry, hurt, or resentful because of one's bad experiences or a sense of unjust treatment.

Cynical and resentful.

To be perpetually pissed off.

Then using your definition of bitter, he has every right to be. Please tell me how you'd have written him to be at this point. I'm interested to know.

Lol... I thought it was just a meme but Raphtalia actually got daughter-zoned.

That aside, this episode was better than the previous one. Naofumi ended up doing a lot of tasks but at least, it seems the help he received from that merchant might probably be very useful in the future.

A lot of pretty amusing moments in this episode. It seems pretty comfortable with Filo dragging the wagon. Naofumis skill who increases the effect of medicine is also very helpful.

The scene with these bandits was funny. Especially when they gave everything they had stolen to Naofumi because otherwise Filo would had eaten them :D

Raphtalia is definitely jealous of Filo and she wants a little bit more attention. The fight against that chimera was nice even it was a little bit short. At least they got the stone for the magic cotton.

Filo looked so cute in that dress. The dress maker was hilarious. I think the best thing for Naofumi was the fact this jeweller showed him so many things like gem refinement. With this and the medicine he should be able to make a good amount of money.

ayy pretty nice episode, Naofumi really racking up the titles wow. Learnt a bundle of new skills and got the phat connection from the traders. Nice alternate source of money for a living.

Seems like the other heroes are doing there own thing out there, spear man continually getting pulled by the strings, Ren being pretty average badass hero status with slaying whole ass dragons and what not and Itsuki seems to have flown under the radar for the time being. Very interesting

Filo looks cute in her new outfit, cannot lie. I'm sure it was worth every penny to get that dress for her. Still her bird form is fluffy and cute and i still like it as well. Also she can pack a mean fucking kick jfc practically heard the mortal kombat fatality voice line after that poor monster's skull shattered to dust.

Pouting Raphtalia actually gives me life and meaning. I can really feel the rivarly for Naofumi between her and Filo xD either way super cute and i love it.

Man, ngl, Firo really like an angel. She was not the usual big chick. She was her species queen type of monster. Great. Nice additional to you, papa, err i mean, Shield Hero! And lol, Raph got called by as his daughter, while he didn't acknowledged Firo. Good joke, yuusha-sama ....

These episode presented for Firo only, i mean, her angel-like outfit. Can't blame her at all. She was special. So, thats why full duration dedicated only to those loli chick really deserved my full attention too. Hell, even she was so useful with her goddamn power and air magic, and never expect Raph to owned that kind of magic too! So, yeah, thats some kind of a nice deal in the end, indeed.

Especially with those kind of additional jobs. A merchant, then an itinerant healers, even pirating a bunch of bandits to get what he wanted. Gladly, he even met with those merchant, to get a bigger advantages over his side jobs. Congratulations with all of those great progression, yuusha-sama. I hope everything will be happy forever. However, judging by those merchant information, Arrow Hero looked in a bad situation, like him previously. I hope its just a rumours, and gonna impact much to his journey and the happiness of his party members. So, lets see next, then.

Firo looks like a tank, but apparently she packs quite a punch. Which is good, because with Naofumi in your team you don't need another tank anyway. Wonder if we'll hear again about that thing that got stolen from the temple.

In rewatch, was bored by this but I'll still agree that the merchant route and really most of this episode felt like a change of pace from the bullshit in the first 5 episodes so I can live with this, even if it wasn't that entertaining now.

Another really great episode. Raphtalia acting jealous of Filo is cute xD. And the way she was taken aback when Naofumi said he saw her as daughter xD.

But gotta say Filo s really cute, both in human and Filolial form, she was looking cute in that dress, the dress making lady and thw witch were both really nice and kind, I liked them.

I like how despite being hated by everyone for no real reason, Naofumi continues to help people and thus is making a good name for him and that has helped him a lot.

That tunnel mosnter was nasty man, I wonder what Raphtalia heard.

I didn't expect this anime to make me feel so happy, only CGDCT animes are ever able to make me this happy lol.

5/5 episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

I watched the first episode not knowing hence not expecting much. Now, I feel nothing but happiness while they search for a gemstone, make a magical dress, travel, try to learn magic and healing.

P.S. Raphtalia, you are still the main chick!
“Why does an apple fall when it is ripe? Is it brought down by the force of gravity? Is it because its stalk withers? Because it is dried by the sun, because it grows too heavy, or because the boy standing under the tree wants to eat it? None of these is the cause.... Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will is in the historical sense not free at all but is bound up with the whole course of history and preordained from all eternity.”
