Daniel_Naumov said: FontSize72LOL said: Its important to make a distinction on what is a harem, and what is harem-like. A harem-like anime would have a MC surrounded by females but doesn't contain any romance between, what would have to be several females at the same time. An actual harem would be a situation where the MC is in a romantic/sexual relationship with multiple women (which a lot of LNs of this genre have). I will say that while there is some 'bonding' between the MC and the few female cast members, It definitely falls within the "harem-like" side of things rather than the harem (And honestly, there is nothing wrong with a harem in an escapist genre like isekai anyway even if it did exist). Having a male lead surrounded by female characters in a genre that panders to male audiences isn't anything new, nor is it particularly bad. After all, in addition to the many male oriented web/light novels there are, you have plenty that are the opposite: Shoujo/josei web/light novels that are of a female MC surrounded by a cast of males vying for her attention. None of these are particularly bad because they know their audience and who they're trying to sell to. That isn't a fault but a marketing design. Not liking the trope doesn't mean it's bad, It just means you don't like the trope. IT is a fault when you are making art, and not a commercial piece of... something, wrapped up as art. By this definition it IS bad, being motivated by "marketing" needs and twisting art to cater to some unsavory males who would otherwise not follow a decent story. There is no in-between. But uh, Its a marketing decision to adapt something that already exists. The Anime is a mere adaption of a LN which is an adaption of a Web Novel the author wrote. Who knows what the authors various reasons for writing this novel are. I'm sure there had to be some passion for it in order for him to keep it going for hundreds of chapters. Whether or not the author had marketing in mind when he wrote the novel, we'd only know if we asked him. Whether it was a marketing decision to pick up a popular 4-5 year old WN/LN during a time where such things are popular and selling well... you know what i'm saying? I suppose I should clarify that having companies pick something that features a certain trope because its popular is the marketing design rather than the authors intent to write something. |
| So far so good. I'm liking how the shield works overall. Letting the hero start from nothing and work his way up is a great idea and can be taken from a few different angles. I have some ideas of what might be ahead, but I'll wait until we get to see the main character and his new companion interacting to say anything. All in all, there's something for everyone. There's a decent beginning with some creativity and character development for normal people and an evil woman who falsely accused a man of rape for the red hats to politicize for the next few months like this story is some sort of documentary (good job?). |

| It was ok. At least better than PV now that it's not just edgy highlights. Still, the hate towards MC feels a bit forced. And this gameplay interface, how lame. Why on earth a magical world would need a feature straight from computer games. Sigh. I guess for an isekai anime it's a given nowadays. What I actually liked is the way the shield can be developed. And yes, please, go full-fledged badass anti-hero MC, it could be fun. |

| The red hair bitch should be thrown inside a goblin cave. That's the least she deserves for abusing the kingdom's PROTECT THE WAHMEN rules. |

| I watched this only because of the 8.5 score w/o reading the description. it was a mistake. it checks off all of the generic isekai boxes. |
| After watching the 1st episode I can tell this is going to be really good. I hope that bitch and hero gets what they deserve for betraying Noifumi like that, now he has mud as a reputation for doing absolutely nothing. I love how he can intimidate others with those weak monsters. Looks like he might have found a new partner though through this slave trader. |

| I'm having crazy déjà vu. Either I've seen an anime thats just like this, or a really olds chool version of this a long time ago. Or im just insane. Anyways, its looking great. |
| the betrayal arc was slow, boring, and uninteresting but it did pick up the pace after that |
 |
| Sly wamen are scary! Abilities: Charm to make you comfortable with them and let your guard down. Flirt to make you get what they want. Invincible as they use their "respect wamen" status against you Anyway, the first episode really left a good impression on me. It shows great promise. Really got me to root for the MC after how he was treated in this episode. At least that bald guy wasn't as bad as the other characters. 4 Heroes: Shielder, Saber, Archer, Lancer Hmmmmm. :v Kinda felt bad that they said that being a Shielder is useless. That cliffhanger though. :/ |

| you know, they should've used tensei slime as reference on how to do a good LN/WN/manga adaptation. tensei slime not only took its time developing the story but it retained the internal monologues ever-present in LN protags, something they omitted in shield bro. naofumi would often assess his situation and the people around him based on his monologues and the lack of it in the anime doesn't really spell out the gravity of the situation he's in. |
|
| Nice start, the whole betrayal and quest for revenge is very interesting. I know most Isekai have the protagonist like ridiculously strong, kind and charming which I find it boring and yes there were other similar Isekai where the story turns dark and I prefer it like that cause it's more real and interesting |
FMmatron said: Myne that bitch The others were scummy as well. Pretty promising start. I'm afraid that I'm hoping for too much, but this seems at least decent compared to other isekais. This guy was amongst the first Isekai these days. And the first one that i ever read. I really hope that it gets the attention it deserves. Even though all the knock offs who came after it have ended up being released before the shield hero, who just rehash the same plot over and over again, and sub-sequentially drained us of our will to live when it comes to this genre. Can we all please show him respect. Rather than waves of calamity, right now he's facing the current isekai plague. |
mahoupenisu said: I watched this only because of the 8.5 score w/o reading the description. it was a mistake. it checks off all of the generic isekai boxes. Pretty much but not only that. This story actually doesn't make sense lol. That baseless accusation was plain stupid. What an awful writing. |
| pretty much create a bunch of dumb side characters to encircle MC and make him look like epic and intelligent as fk. |
| Yeah. This one is designed to cater for a very specific worldview. There I am, having noticed various suspicious things, and so expecting her to make off with that expensive equipment she's been bought at some point, or something like that. Suddenly, BAM! nonsensical false rape accusation out of nowhere. The (original) writer clearly has unhealthy opinions about women, or at least is writing for an audience of such people. I do not have any persecution complexes or the like which need satisfying, I'm afraid. |
| This episode started off powerful VERY powerful. I'm hooked. Pacing, music, art, animation, characters, its done it all in this episode. |
| That was a good watch. I'm expecting a lot from this anime and I hope to see more. I also hope for that bitch to be executed in the medieval way. The horse, the spikes etc. The hero will be a baddass on this one. |

gastert said: Well it is only that girl, of course she is the only one girl who is really really disgusting in this story, it is about individual. ...the only female character of any significance who has been introduced at that point in the story, (all the heroes are male, for instance,) in the first actually dramatic event of the story, done over the top to the point of caricature, even with her making a face at the protagonist which anyone could notice, in a way which defies any explanation in terms of actual human psychology, in a place quoted as having laws like "nobody can refuse a drink with a women" and "violence against a woman is the worst thing you can do"... No, it's quite obvious what worldview is being put forth here. |
gastert said: Well, if I tell you why it is like that, that is big spoiler. There is a legit reason for that actually. There being fictional world explanations is irrelevant. The author chose to write the start of his story like that, he has complete control over the things he puts in the story in order to write the start of his story like that. |
| It was pretty generic and nothing new, it was decent. |
| REVIVE MECHA |
| It was a good start but... betrayal, revenge, weak MC... where did I see it before? |
| That may have been the most predictable betrayal in all of anime. |
| For those who read the manga or other sources: [SPOILER AHEAD:] The shield hero "feeds" the shield with the parts of monsters he killed, and it looks like it unlocked some kind of ability, right? I believe it makes him immune to that monster. Then, he feeds it with a plant and unlocks the Leaf Shield with other abilities... So, my question is, after that, I would try to feed it with as many things as I could, like stones, metals, fire, water and so on to see if it works and what abilities would be available. Does he do that? Does it work? I accept minor spoilers |
