Will this show get better?

I've read 3 volume of the novel and then I dropped it, and I think The first volume (episode 1-4) is the peak of this series. So I dont think this show will get any better. But who knows? It might also get better, because i already dropped at vol 3 so I dont know the rest of the story. Just imo

Tate no yuusha is very great anime. But sincerely, even with a very strong start, the show now started going really, really downhill in last few episodes. Will it get better in the future episode?

For all intents and purposes, it SHOULD get better, given how freakin' awesome some of the scenes of the LN are. Buuuut, the anime is just barely passable as an adaptation, so I have no better idea than an anime only viewer.

If you have no problem with its visual presentation (oh boy, the upcoming bosses are gonna look gorgeous in CG), then I'll recommend you give it a chance up to the halfway point.

I already the current chapter of the manga, I can't say it's anything special.

I'm pretty sure it will get better
Mainly from next week's episodes, when the next wave comes

But even if it remains like this, I don't care, because I'm enjoying the latest episodes just as much as the first few ones, I don't have any problems with episodes like these

Unfortunately too many people seem to hate character and story(yes the episodes are important too)development, so they don't like the recent episodes, they only want constant drama and fights

as and Ln reader i can say that book two and first half of book 3 are the wrost last half of book 3 and volume 4 are great then it starts getting weird but i like weird so book 5 and onward is at minimum consistent at max completely awesome . This is a series that i think should never be watched weekly its seems like a thing you marathon if i were you i would put it on hold then watch the rest when its finished.

I read at least until the first act of the manga(that how I call it) and only the beginning of the second act.

I dropped the anime in episode 4 which is like the beginning of the first act.

I think the answer is obvious. I dropped it there because there's nothing else interesting after this point

the problem is the reason many people are disappointed with this event is due to lack of characterization, especially in the raphtalia arc in volume 1, even I as a very disappointed manga reader see anime cutting and summarizing the raphtalia arc, i mean people definitely love raphtalia loli and characterization development happens, but I won't drop the anime

Thai777 said:


She's a pretty stale character even in the manga, at some point all I could think of her was a Naofumi name caller she just call his name over and over again in every scene. She did have some nice development early in the manga (don't remember if the anime cut it) but after that point she just became Asuna 2.0 that sad.

i would have loved this show if the villains were at least threatening but so far they look like they serve only for comedic purposes.

kanthorn said:
Now I have read it further. Oh man, at this point even SAO are better and more entertaining than this show, Raphtalia goes from very meaningful lovable heart-warming raccoon loli to boring generic harem protagonist’s follower. Naofumi goes from unbreakable anti-hero shielded bro to unrelatable PTSD tsundere victimized grandpa who always think everything negatively to the point that it’s feels too much. One bitch screwed you up in one episode and you spend your huge amount of your life time keep saying “this world will take everything from me” even on the next episode the black smiths, two lolis companion, magic shop owner, and entire rurals resident love you. But what make me feel “face palm” most is this boring generic show has rating 8.4, even higher than entire SAO series which at least entertain me to some point.

MudaMudaGioGio said:
SAO is better said you may be right or wrong depending on the tastes of the audience, personally I think SAO looks like rubbish in the early episodes looks interesting seeing people desperate can not return to the real world, but in the middle to the end looks boring and easy to predict, groove love dick that happened between kirito and asuna was so disgusting that the idiot along with stupid tentacles tried to rape asuna's vagina, I was grateful that damn harem didn't happen at least to naofumi, and also SAO season 2 was just full of garbage disappointment

kanthorn said:


With “kirito always the chosen one” storyline, even 1000 player play beta tester, he is the best, even they are 10000 people trap in SAO, this 16 years old kid is still the best, has best reaction time, has unique skill that no one has, best girls who is second strongest player fall in love with him, All villains who can make him has a hard time always cheating, but in the end kirito win anyway. And he is the only one in SAO that play solo player and became powerful player without cheating. in SAO2 even no one can solve death gun mystery, he and his friends can, even they are yuuki who has faster reaction time and can beat him, that because she wear new different nerf gear, wear longer than him, kirito didn’t use twin sword, and the fight end in time ups. There are no men in series that can match or stay in the same sport light with him, and if there are he is dead in the end, so kirito can be best boy forever. This series is trash and that is my taste of SAO.

Don’t even make me talk about alicization.

The adaptation needs to not rush through the best scenes like in Ep 8. Personally, I would like the next wave to be covered in two episodes with the 1st episode focusing on the and next episode focusing on

it started off good but it turned trash. Just another generic shit anime with garbage combat and garbage spells that are unreasonable and make no sense. The guy doesn't use his shield cool at all, there's too much bullshit magic

the drama feels forced and underwhelming and poorly written

the fucking duck is a blonde loli, how stupid is that? You can make it a harem without having to go to such ridiculous lenghts. It's just idiotic. It's gonna be yet another harem which by itself isnt a problem but the justification is poor and the chemistry is bad

goblin slayer was way much better even if it wasn't perfect itself and had room to improve and thats a shame cus i really like shields and the concept of a shield hero is cool but the guy doesnt have a cool shield (it looks trash) and doesn't use it in a cool way and the combat animation/moves are bad

always amazed how MAL scores seem completely random, you have good animes rotting at 7 and u have random garbage sitting at 8.40 for no reason? I'll still watch it cus i like the concept but i doubt they'll redeem it or make it any better at this point when we've seen their true colors

MudaMudaGioGio said:
hahaha goblin slayer is better you say, it seems to me it looks like fucking rubbish filled with sex rape by a group of demons, but I won't blame your extraordinary taste

incisorr said:


it tells a story and the story is that bad things are evil and goblins are more than just a pest

meanwhile in shield hero you get a dragon and then the stupid bird which is supposed to be a mount/side character/not a fighter just goes in and 1shots it with some forced drama scene on how all that happens and the " blood ". It's just really bad and childish
i guess its nor ur fault that you're a kid but its your fault for not being able to judge things objectively and for having a shit taste

if shield hero keeps going the way it does (its probably already too late even) then this show will never have any stakes either. theres no sense of danger or urgency or grim or anything and the waifu material isn't even good as it is so stupidly forced and there could be much better ways in introducing " it"
