I don't know how to feel about this. I don't think that this anime needs another season. The second half of the first season was somewhat anticlimactic and I don't think that further seasons are going to be as good as the first, let's hope that I'm wrong.

I think the novel has something like 20 volumes and the 1st season only did like a quarter or so, so they're probably gonna try and adapt as much as they can while it's still hot.

Interesting though how 2 seasons are already so soon announced, whereas other isekai LN's like Re:Zero took quite a while just to announce 2nd season

BD sales don't mean much in the grand scheme of things because they're overpriced as F. The anime boosted the LN sales like mad. It had the second highest LN/manga sales of 2019 (behind slime)

Yeah I thought so.
Don’t know if I’ll bother watching the second season, this first season went downhill during the second part of the first cour. It recovered a bit in the second cour but still very “ehh” and the last 3 episodes were just horrible imo
I’ll see what to do

It was a quite good isekai, so I'll look forward to it. But I don't understand why will they announce TWO seasons instead of one.. Will be like S2 (12ep) - spring 20xx, S3 (12ep) - fall (same year)? 🤔

Does this mean it's confirming two 13 episode seasons, two 26 episode seasons, etc? Very surprised this show is getting a sequel season for how bad it got after the first like 3 episodes.

Well the same could be said for Dororo and Promised Neverland too, with both selling over 1.5k copies at least. But holy shit, the LN sales that it made during the airing skyrocketed like crazy. It doesn't always have to be high bd sales that contribute to another season, but it more or less does for Harem and Ecchi shows like DxD. Even MHA sells over 3k, but gets multiple seasons because of the increase in manga sales and other merch along with popularity.

BD sales matter more for harem shows like DxD (as Hero did kinda poorer than expected compared to the 3rd season) as well as non-mainstream anime as well.

Also Shield Hero sold a consistent 2.2k-2.3k average for all its copies too, which is pretty good.

Wow, that sure came outta nowhere!

I’d a feeling that maybe we’d get like a Season 2 announcement in like mid-2020 or so but not only did we get one for Season 2, there’s also going to be a Season 3 and it’s announced already?!

It’s a lot to take in at the moment but I hope other projects in the near future will receive such an enthusiastic pat on the back too! Something tells me it’s most likely a split-cour case though but who knows.

Last but not least, congratulations to the fans of the series!

Honestly I'm quite happy about this. Hopefully they take their time more with these future seasons and try to flesh out the animation more at certain parts. Not surprised this got 2 sequels already, given how the total sales it had nearly tripled I believe. Gotta check the #'s again

Can't wait to see the salty people trying to bring this show down again lol. I know it's not perfect, but from what those people have been trying to say about this show is just plain ridiculous

I think that in TPN’s case, a second season was already in production during the first season. Because it was announced right after the last episode.

Crunchyroll actually invested quite a lot in Shield Hero, if u check the production committee they are just behind Kadokawa, if I remember correctly. It was a CR co-production and I'm pretty sure they profited a lot with the streaming, so, it makes sense, they sure want more seasons while this is still a thing.

no, and I don't think that one really needs a sequel. It had a nice conclusion, but for Shield Hero there's more of a story to be told

No details are out. This could be 1-cour for each season for all we know.

Anyway, hopefully it's a different studio. Kinema Citrus has better stuff to do with their talent. They should focus on anime that isn't pro-slavery, for starters. Going back to anime with a good story and good character development like Made in Abyss would be great too.

I really liked the beginning and it seemed promising, but after it became just another iseakai with op main protagonist, non of the other 3 heroes mattered it was all about justice porn, and don't even start me on the ending or the other world heroes. It was a wasted potential imo.
I'm wondering how are they going to produce more justice porn for seasons 2 and 3 since that seems to be the selling point.

I think this totally adds up. If there’s any company that’d benefit from this project more than anyone else, it’d totally be Crunchyroll.

Who cares if it is pro slavery or pro rape or whatever ??!

GTA 5 is pro killing people in street ! Who cares ?

Is video game or anime supposed to teach people morals or something ??! Sheild Hero is not pro slavery, but even if it was it won't make any difference for me. People these days are so sensitive about everything.

That's what I'm thinking. The show is called "Rising of the Shield Hero" for the reason that Naofumi has to rise in society again. But like, the purpose of the story is over so what is the driving force of the show? I was not invested in the story, characters, or setting but rather to see Naofumi rise back to higher status. However with that being over, I don't have much hope in the story. If you lose your driving force in the story, you either have to re-create that force in a unique way that won't deviate too far or too close to the original story that will push the story along in a way that makes sense. With Shield Hero I don't see either happening since I do not care if their adventure continues and I don't want to see anymore "Omg he is the devil of the shield, we were tricked all along!" for the 5th time.

Not sure how interested I am in this, to be honest. I mostly enjoyed season 1 and found it better than the average isekai fare, but it tailed off so badly in the second half. Plus, the character writing is woeful all around and I simply can't see it getting better.

By "2nd and 3rd" season, I suppose they mean split cour.
Something similar to Overlord 2 and 3.
