| Shield has a lot of good scenes coming. So definitely shield |
| slime for sure, pacing is trash here. |
 |
| does it matter both are complete ass |
| poop |
| Shield hero definitely. Slime sucks and is boring. |
| Shield Hero is probably the only one that's held my attention for this long. |

AddiTeacha2 said: Mattinator95 said: ??? Those are Mal members right ... yeah it doesn't matter . The same thing can be said on any statistics. MAL rating system is flawed but the popularity is fairly accurate. Here's how the slime doing lately . > No.2 in Oricon series 2018-12 monthly ranking with ¥701.6 mil. mostly from manga sales (volume 10 released). > No.3 in Oricon series 2019-01 monthly ranking with ¥644.2 mil. This should already included ¥ ~97.6 mil. from BD/DVD sales, and a lot of light novel + manga backlog sales due to new year. All the light novel volumes entered Oricon 2019-01 light novel monthly top 50, and volume 13.5 ranked No.1. Yea, a data book took the top spot of light novel ranking last month... > Currently the EXQ Rimuru figure are either selling at double to triple the original price (some are even 2nd hand goods) in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. I have seen ¥7000 ~ ¥14000 in Japan (Tokyo and Yokohama). The only place now to buy it with original price in the region is likely via BiliBili (China). > Light novel is selling around 25K copies of backlogs per month. > Manga is outselling Attack of Titan in the eBook department of Koudansha. Actually it is outselling nearly everything in the eBook market in Japan based on the 2018 yearly rankings of the major eBook sites as it is ranked either No.1 (manga list) or No.2 in overall sales only behind Overlord LN (Ainz sama is god of eBook 2018). Tensura LN also in top 10~20 in overall 2018. > Ichiban Kuji volume 2 Japan, has enough stocks to last around 2~3 weeks this time. A few prize F and G in 2nd hand shops. > Ichiban Kuji volume 2 Taiwan, most of them nearby sold out before 6pm on release day....on a week day. Some are selling the ticket at higher than street price. Seen some prize A alone selling at crazy price. > Ichiban Kuji volume 2 Hong Kong (2019-01), sold out the same day it released which nobody even noticed. Spent whole day asking around shops but no 2nd hand goods can be found. > 2018-12 : One Piece, Slime (manga vol.10 + backlog) 2019-01: Idol M@ster, Promised Neverland, Slime (LN 13.5 + backlogs) > Latest Slime manga (vol.10 released in Dec) is currently selling double the copies of Promised Neverland manga (vol.12 releases in Jan), and now in the same range of My Hero Academy and Attack of Titan per volume sales. > The series overall is currently at 100+ millions yen revenue weekly since the anime started and this trend is likely to last for a while longer. Oricon doesn’t report on the eBook sales or 3rd party merchandises. I’d estimate they already earned enough for the entire anime (25 episodes + 1 OAD) back in 2018. > There are reports of Taiwan and Hong Kong (same localization publisher) is seriously having shortage of some LN volumes especially LN 11 which the publisher is sill re-printing to catch up on demands. Funny thing is a lot of people ONLY buy LN 11 to pay respect (there are Chinese fan translations of the LN) which is part of the reason that caused the shortage. LN 12 limited edition (with the Luminous side story booklet) also sold out. |

| Normally I would say shield hero. But if they keep dropping the ball like in this episode when they got Firo saying she wants to be Naofumi's mate which makes no sense it could be that slime gets the upper hand. |

| Slime is the better show imo even though shield hero is going to be the most popular show this season. |

| Personally prefer shield more but slime probably has the broader appeal to the general audience. |
nightcrawlercyp said: Not sure if you are a troll or not. I understand why what you said might happen but... If they go that route it would be a poor choice in my opinion It's half troll/half not troll, but it's blown out of proportion. So don't worry about it. |
| Both of then are average, so I really don't care. Right now, Slime is better because Tate had 3 terrible episodes in a row |
 |
| Alicization: hm... let's just say, the action animation is cool. Just, I think the story is a bit duller than before. But I know there'll be a war, so I'll look forward to it. Tensura: Fun to watch, and covering the original story pretty much. It is so light that I had no room to protest. Tho I only read the manga only. Shield Hero: Only the first episode that get directed correctly. After that, alternative scene everywhere, changing story from original, switching the order of original event, skipping the best part to be the closing of the first volume. Naofumi didn't smile cheerfully that often in the original work. Raphtalia's more like Naofumi's behaviour guardian. The animation got worse. And what I didnt like, is the fanservice part. I meant, they cut precious scenes before, to add garbage story to bait with eros? There's the LN, there's the Manga, extra story written by the author in the printed book, there's the author, so why did ya cut it too much Takao-sandaa! Dangit pls change the director to Black Bullet's and Abbyss', Kojima-san... it will be better than Abo, I'm sure... Alicization is cool, Tensura is fun, Shield Hero... I always mad about the adaptation each episode came. |

I loved the way they both started but I feel the quality has dropped off a bit in both of them the last few episodes. I'd say they were neck and neck at the moment but I would think which ever gets a continuation onto another season will be the winner. If they both get second seasons then which ever gets continued after that. The reason being that in Isekai the depth and complexity of the world-building is the key IMO. I really love Log Horizon for example and that has 50 episodes that leave you happily satisfied - but I know there's still so many new dimensions and dynamics to explore with that show and I just hope we get MORE!!! :D |
| Shield Hero without a doubt |

| No one is superior to each other, shield hero started as something different but it strayed too much from what it made unique in the first place while slime had a strong start it started losing its charm after millim was introduced with contents being cut off, so i would say both are average. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
Gerver said: I would say is not as bad as Overlord. I see it more as a slice of life anime rather than isekai. That is why I can enjoy it.Well slime is trash like overlord because of a Mary Sue MC. While Shieldbro has an actual character arc and has to work to develop his powers and reputation. Its not even a competition. |
| Shield is superior than Slime. Slime is mediocre from the start. |
 |
| Funny thing i see, SAO fans bring SAO out of nowhere to the discussion —> toxic haters triggered —> toxic SAO fanboy triggered. This is why some fan/hatebase are considered cancerous. |
| Both are decent. Rezero still much better than both, at least rezero has no shitty harem loli naked fanservice in it, HA :P |

MudaMudaGioGio said: subaru is weak because unlike naofumi or rimuru, he has no special weapon or unique skill that can help him in a battle. But as a characher, IMO subaru has a better character development than naofumi. :P_Goko said: re:zero would like to have a word with you most people rate the best anime only by looking at a high rating or number of fans, despite the fact that Re Zero has a high enough rating, but on the other hand it also has its drawbacks, MC Subaru is very weak, always repeats the same ignorance in every episode, as if he never want to learn from his own past experience, if compared to Naofumi he is clearly superior, naofumi never repeats stupidity similar to Subaru |
|
| Konosuba still better than any other modern isekai. Slime, Re:Zero and Shield are not even near same league. |
Samy-kun said: You think so? Episode 10 pretty much made me laugh out loud, the whole episode was hilarious. SAO is still an average Isekai. Nothing is more cringier than Shield Hero and the perpetual victim complex the character has in the show despite none of it making any sense other than the writer purposefully writing it into it to so that people will get a justice boner when their marty stu self insert avenges them. Gerver said: While Shieldbro has an actual character arc and has to work to develop his powers and reputation. Maybe watch more anime. Your 'actual character who had to struggle' is a 2 dimensional edge lord with no information regarding his past in a setting that makes absolutely no sense with OP super powers who can manifest any power as the plot demands it despite his informed 'weakness'. |
Maybe start reading ranobe. |
| The opinions of people with shit taste, such as yourself, may differ of course. |
