| I am curious if Raphtalia and Naofumi kissed at the end? Before Filo and the others showed up.. I really like the loli Raphtalia than the mature version tho~ |
| What a great isekai, even if it was a bit rushed to introduce Rishia but it left off on a good note so it my 10/10 remains. The best isekai to have aired for me. |
  |
| It's finally over This anime started out pretty enjoyable but as the episodes went by it became more cliche, more predictable, and became more draining to watch. Instead of looking forward to each episode I slowly started to view this anime as a chore. The other hero's are made to be so comically stupid and oblivious for the purpose of making shit harder for the MC. It's shoved down your throat with the way they presented it. To the point to where it's unbelievable. MC is not very likeable and doesn't have any strong charm to him. He's just the guy that suffers and because of it he's almost always in a stern mood. He's not a bad character, but he's also not a good character. I can go on and on about other aspects of the show but I don't want to type out an essay. This show is definitely more for the casual watcher who has not seen a lot of anime Overall a 5/10 show As a side note: Loli Raphtalia is better then the mature one. |

| At first I thought it was going to be a pretty good show. Then, shitty writing, plot holes and conveniences, dull and one-dimensional characters ruined it. 3/10, would blunt some edges. And yes, I am an elitist, no-life, hater and I was wasting my time. Let's all love everything and absolutely don't rate an anime low. If I finish it and say it's bad you are calling me hater, if I dropped it (as you say), you would tell me I have no right to rate it if I didn't watch it. |
jrShark said: This show feels really kinda mediocre overall. As much as I didn't really enjoyed this anime, I always don't understand why some people would hope to rather not have a second season though. I mean, we can always choose to just not watch it and let other fans enjoy them. I enjoyed both the opening songs though. It might be for some external reasons: >Having to endure the overwhelming spam of these kind of highly popular series on some networks (not only anime-focused ones). This is pretty annoying even when the show is good >They would prefer having the studio focused on better projects. >Some people don't like to drop series and do watch every media the serie releases, so they would "feel the obligation" of keep watching new seasons And yes. Both Openings were good, especially the first one imo. |
| Fine episode, nothing conclusive happened. Naofumi beat Glass with wine is the most hilarious scene, Glass is tipsy for a second there xD. Naofumi build his base, good for him. And drama between Rapthalia is fine. The 3 heroes are joke at this point, nothing worth to seen. Overall its a good first half, then fine to the end. Its a fact that this series is better than slime isekai, Naofumi is OP and thats not a bad thing. Rimuru is. 6/10 |

papsoshea said: A top contender for worst anime of the year. What an underwhelming finale bout with Glass zzzz and gathering the loli waifu baits. 2.5/10 This. The fact that the Shield Hero, Naofumi was surrounded by a bunch of idiots (including his own loli, Filo) was fucking stupid. Everyone in the series, aside from Raphthalia, who wasn`t done justice in the Anime, was just a plot device to make the SH your typical brooding, intelligent, better-than-everyone protagonist. The finale was pretty bad. That fight with Glass was actually pretty boring. I expected more then again, the show went downhill after that Fitoria episode. I will stick to the light novels and manga from now on. Should this get a second season, I won`t be watching it. I'm sure it will still do well since a lot of incels love this series. 3/10 from me. I did enjoy the first half so I'll give it credit for that. |
| 臭い- |
| I think overall it was pretty decent/good. The ending felt very dry, the whole last part felt anticlimatic. Expected rushed parts, always hated how stupidly (exceptionally) are other heroes portrayed, that was also my main complaint in manga. Liked the story overall but never thought it was something amazing. 6/10 |
 |
| This anime is one of the many reason you don't trust the good ol' LN readers saying ''THIS ISEKAI IS ACTUALLY GOOD GUYS ITS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS I SWEAR!!!!11'' when it ended up being just another boring and annoying isekai. Granted, the first few episode were kinda interesting but goddamn it tested my patience. At least Slime happened which still gives me a slight glimmer of hope that one day another Isekai can be good... still tho, Shield Hero definitly makes me want to skip every Isekai of this summer. Im pretty over them for now. 4/10 |

| So suddenly he was able to basically treat Glass like she was a trash mob when not long ago HE was the trash mob? And why did she let him live last time if she NEEDS to kill him? This show has so many plot issues. Overall another generic isekai with OP main character and mostly fanservice secondary characters. Literally every character except Naofumi was an idiot. That's just bad/lazy writing. Raphtalia has a severe case of Stockholm syndrome. Sure he treats her good, but the whole "i WANT to be a slave" thing still did nothing for the plot over than push pro-slavery ideals - pushed the idea that "slavery is good if they want it lol". The LN gets even worse in the way it dehumanizes people..so hopefully this is the end and there's no S2. Quite possibly the most overrated Isekai, more so than SAO - and definitely the most overrated anime of the last 2 seasons |

| That was a really nice way to wrap up the series (for now) Hope we see Naofumi again in Isekai Quartet Quintet! |
| Why,oh why can't muppets just enjoy a show,or not? All anyone seems to do is either hate on it,hate on the people who enjoy it,or fanboi it.Why not just enjoy the show if you do,or don't fraggin' watch it if you don't. Personally,I enjoyed it mostly,though the pacing was off(though I thought they ended it fairly well)and the LN obviously has more to it,but damn,the hate for this show(same for Goblin Slayer)was way too overboard. At least now I won't have to read the asinine comments,oh wait,Arifureta's coming up.Crap,another season of numb comments then :) |

| I know the anime made it ambigious but can anyone confirm if Raphtalia and Naofumi really kissed in the LN/manga? |
| I usually don't go into the Light Novels but thanks to some cool dudes on Twitter and a great series I feel more inform about the series now. I think the anime does a solid job. Yes, there are some details in the novels that got cut.....that would HAVE BEEN super beneficial to the plot. I think the other heroes have it the worst as in the novels they aren't glorified jobbers. Here in the anime they are the literal anime version of 3MB. Naofumi is also really dial back here and is a prick at times. I still enjoyed the show despite some of the changes though. I thought this was a good finale but was really slow after the fight. I felt the pacing could have been better. 8 out of 10 for me boys. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

SSL443 said: Oh no... they have to leave all the fighting to Naofumi Emotani. Will our embattled hero be able to pull through in the face of overwhelming odds??? Nevermind, he leveled up and has a new asspull shield that lets him win on easy mode. Great character development. The shot of Glass's world is probably one of the only remotely interesting things in this entire series. That is the mood that this show should have had - a real sense of urgency, stakes, and sacrifice. Not an inane, contrived political "intrigue" plot that had nothing to do with anything, and resulted in zero development of any character. As it is, this new conflict of heroes trying to kill one another in order to save their respective worlds might have been an interesting premise if executed well, but the timing is completely botched. Why bring this in a couple episodes from the end of the series? Why not make this the entire series to begin with? Instead, and just like everything else in this sad excuse for a show, the pacing is wrong, these characters are underdeveloped, and the plot is filled with conveniences to ensure that everything turns out okay for the main cast. Nothing with the core cast has improved, either, even in the final episode of this mess. Raphtalia's motivation still makes no sense. Just defeating the waves isn't going to stop bad things from happening to people - especially when slavery is still legal. Speaking of which... Naofumi wanting to become the lord of the lolis also makes no sense. Up to this point he has resisted doing anything remotely altruistic, and he's still going on about going back to his life as a worthless otaku shut-in. The show hasn't demonstrated any character development to explain a change of heart. "Meeting you helped me find meeting in fighting the waves." You mean buying a child slave in order to get revenge on women in general for being falsely accused of rape? Yeah, let's call that "meeting". I guess if there is one consistent thing about this show, it's the shallow and under-developed characters. "Naoufumi-sama!!!" Good god. This has to be one of the most overrated anime that I've ever seen, with absolutely the most rabid, braindead fanbase I've ever encountered. Hopefully the BD sales will be bad enough that there will be no second season. "Anyone who enjoys this show is braindead. Fuck the fans. This shouldn't get a second season because I said so." |

TsukuyomiREKT said: "Anyone who enjoys this show is braindead. Fuck the fans. This shouldn't get a second season because I said so." You make a compelling point. |
| Hopefully some of you people will be able to move on and finally get lives now that the show is over, but I kinda doubt it. You'll just pick a new show next season to follow all the way through even if you don't like it from the beginning, and the cycle will just repeat. |

| Well....that happened. Honestly I wasn't expecting Shield Hero to become so light-hearted. Like even coming off the manga into this, I do not remember it feeling as such. Admittedly I had an 8 for this series but after this...it went down to a 6. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I was hoping for more. As far as isekai go: Re:Zero, KonoSuba, and Slime-kun are probably the ones I've hated the least. Overlord is okay but also suffers from being repetitive. And we got a slew of new isekai for summer...haha...miss me on that one. At least I can say this: Shield Hero made me a fan of Madkid, so glad I got their debut album. |

| Season 2 will be a pain to wait for but I felt episode 25 was rushed really badly, it was condensed too much had it actually been the predicted 48 minutes it would been much better as they could fleshed it out. I also do not understand why people feed MAL trolls, watch what you like and drop what you do not like its simple as that, I hate Clannad but a lot of people love it does not mean everyone should either hate or love it. I usually watch so much anime anyway that Shield Hero was really refreshing new anime with not too many cliche moments and dialogue was well written for what it is. I feel like a lot of new anime these days have writers that were educated in Corporate schools instead of artist schools. |

Hope this shit never gets a season 2. 3/10 ef you hate it that much why you whatched 25 episode of it ? couldn't you just dropt it ? Its true that this adaptation isn't that good but it wasn't that bad actually ef you hate an anime don't bother yourself to whatch it every one have his own type and taste You got 25 chance to drop this anime and go to search another one I don't know why haters waste there time just to finich something they don't like from the begin I actually enjoyed this show I give it 8/10 |
