I only mentioned the LN because I prefered how they did it there. Nope, "not including" was your second choice: "the anime just did it really bad, I'd rather not have her in his party now, since they changed so much", cramming this crap in - the first. Note that you are complaining about changes "they changed so much" AND suggest to drop one of the character from the story (changing it much more) in the same exact sentence. It was unreasonable before, now it is just dumb. Again, reading correctly would help out a lot, but luckily I also don't care about your opinion as well, have a nice day, lol. Again, I read it correctly, it is your problem that you have no idea what you want, that's why it is difficult to care. Oh dear, here we go again. Yes, they changed a lot, in the whole series and throughout the last episode, I didn't like it. I said I would've liked it done differently, nothing more, why do you feel the need to discuss MY opinion, if you said in your last post that 'fortunately no one cares'? It's not like anyone of the staff is going to read through this topic and I don't expect them to change it (why even, it seems like a lot of people DID like it and that's great, good for them!). This is a discussion topic and I said what I liked and didn't, you disagree, fine, and I don't need or want you to care, so drop it please. You're just going to bend my words your way anyway, so there's no need to get into this any further. |

Anyway, the show is good, it has a good premise, Naofumi is a good character with tact and personality, not soulless. Anyway, it was a good show. 8/10 it is worse than most sao series. still better then alicization tho. can someone help me, why the scythe hero helped them clearing the wave? |

Nah, I'd rather accept that you call it bad rather than saying that it's worse than SAO. Kirito can't even compare to Naofumi. Naofumi isn't overpowered for no reason like Kirito and isn't mister nice guy like him because he can't be anything else. Though, to be fair, I kinda liked the first half of the first season of SAO. |

| Although the pacing was a little too quick at times, the final episode was still good. The battle between Glass and Naofumi was very enjoyable and thankfully, with the help of our luckless girl, Lecia, she gave Naofumi a big help, not just by preventing him from using his wrath shield, but the fruit bombs were enough to make Glass too tipsy to fight on, so she, L'arc and Therese all retreated. Either way, the rest of the episode was pretty enjoyable, too. Lecia played a big part in Naofumi's fight, but some bastard on her team framed her for something she didn't do and Itsuki was unsurprisingly retarded enough to believe the lies and booted the luckless girl out of the team. Filo found Lecia in the water and took her to Naofumi, who gave her the second chance she needed by letting her join his team. Nicely done. =) Naofumi's now the lord of the domain that includes Raphtalia's hometown and the rebuilding work into the area was starting to show really well, too. The hug that Raphtalia gave to Naofumi was very cute, though. =3 Overall, I enjoyed this show from start to finish. There was some drawbacks at times, though, from the annoying Bitch/Slut to most of the arc regarding the Pope being lackluster. Aside from that, the soundtrack was great, Naofumi's group, Melty included, was easily the most enjoyable characters and the visuals held up most of the time, too,. While it doesn't top Slime that finished 3 months ago in terms of overall quality and enjoyment, I'll still give Shield Hero an 8/10. If a second season gets announced someday, I'll be back to watch it all. For now, I'll check out the manga or light novel. =) |

| I feel like there two kinds of people who watched this show, those kind who generally just watch something and judge it as it is. And those who read what its about and has wild drug like fantasies what epic madness its going to be only to end up massively disappointed because it did not turn out exactly as they wanted it to. |

| Beautiful finale, it has been such a journey up until this point. I'll cherish these moments forever and miss Naofumi's party so much. Sayonara~ |
| It ended. Wasted Potential: The Animation. 4/10 |

ANimation and story were both good. Can you please elobarte? You can see from the start, the shield hero has gained a lot of knowledge compared to the three heros when they were a newb back then . Regarding the scythe hero, he does still feels the shield hero is a partner/friend to him. You can say its like a 50% |

WHy was it a wasted potential? were you expecting something along the lines of SAO? |

| The hint at romance at the end and the interesting concept of adventuring different fantasy worlds is enough for me to pick up the LN. I did like the main characters, but was mostly disappointed in the amount of time the plot wasted on the uninteresting side characters and can't forget the bad animation in fight scenes, seriously every monster in this show was in CG. I give it a 5/10, still better than most isekai anime, but was mostly annoyed from the start of the second half up until the final few episodes. Will look forward to reading the LN to see how it handles the further development of plot and characters though. |

As shitty as the manga and web novel. 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 |

| easily a 9 well started, and well ended. Also big hopes for season 2! #MoreFitoria |
 |
| The only bad thing about this episode is that they did not announce 2nd season I loved this show a lot from start to finish. 8/10 |
| Solid ending to a solid series. It kinda lost direction somewhere in middle, but the state it's left in - no more angst, just isekai with somewhat interesting plot about Waves - is what seems to work the best. I'd gladly watch 2nd season of that, tho won't bother with reading source. |
| this one started quite differently and interesting but imo it devolved into any other generic shonen... |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Yeah... I missed that kiss when I watched it. Watching it back it's clearly as kiss. Loved the show! |
| this series had pretty good potential but it was until that shitty church war... after that it all went downhill imo. i hope it doesnt get 2nd season. |

| Hmm was an okay-to-decent series overall which could be better if there weren't so many annoying characters who can't even apologize. |
| so many haters in the comments lol I always wonder why they watch whole series of something they hate and call garbage, don't they have anything better to do? do they watch everything and focus on the tiniest details just to complain on MAL afterwards? I can't imagine finishing a series I hate, what's the point? to get angry? all those "hope this season never gets a second season" comments are ridiculous bc it makes it sound as if they'll be forced to watch it. lmao haters have such sad lives, I pity them tbh do yourself and other people a favour and just drop stuff you don't like? :v why waste time on something you hate when you could spend it on something you love. |
| This was good show in my opinion, specially if we compared with your average modern Isekai. I like that the MC was not really your generic super nice God-mode kirito clone dude. Sure the guy is OP, but not as OP as the Kenja no mago kid as example. If I could pick some negatives about this anime, it would be the bad cgi and poor character development in the other heroes. It would been cool to see the other heroes become more powerful, even if they remain being douche bags. It would also been cool to see more from Glass and L'Arc, since those 2 characters seem to have a more valid reason to be villians. Aside from all the flaws it was still an enjoyable show for me. |

Though, to be fair, I kinda liked the first half of the first season of SAO. well, if you are talking about characterization, then yes. kirito is op and playboy af (even tho you can say naofumi is one as well lol. and both character were hated by their surrounding too. i just realized that. kirito under the "beater" name, and naofumi under the "shield hero" name). but even so, i still think sao is better. at least they dont go halfway on making kirito op. also because i think shield hero's character is well, too shallow if i might say. i dont find any reason for the shield hero to be so salty over the princess incident and the hate shown by the community towards him. even he is not showing respect to the queen that has helped him. but instead he trusted this new guy he just met that ended up becoming his nemesis.

You can say its like a 50% you said the animation is good? maybe you have not watched fullmetal alchemist or fate/series. thats some real action fantasy anime. not some turn-based action wannabe anime like this or sao. dont get me wrong. i have no problem regarding the story at all. i really liked the story. but not the characterization, animation, and sfx. maybe you can defend shield hero as a good anime if you can explain how their light beam fighting scene is decent. even not in the fighting scene it is worse than some other animes. there are far too many frame i wish they could have added to mention. if you dont think so, maybe you are not watching enough movie to understand how good movie works. but well, i do admit the images (per frame) itself is very good and i dont find any drops in quality (or maybe could not cause i couldn't find as many drops in opm 2nd season as other viewers). |

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 meaning 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. God I seriously hope that there isn't a second season if they're just going to shit on the source material by taking massive chunks of later volumes and putting them where they don't fit. The whole thing about rebuilding the village happens several volumes from where the show ends, which is book 5, and the reward, logic, and reasoning as to why rebuilding the village is important, is not explained/decided on until book 10. |

It definitely makes no sense here, it's obviously just a way to get some kind of closure and wrap up the series with a feel-good moment. |
| I would've given this anime 8 when it started out and didn't want anyone soiling it. But after that Pope incident, I saw it as trash and didn't try to move forward from that. Well done in trying to bait me for season 2 with that conflicted hero shit, it won't work on this person! Yeah it was popular, but it was just that POPULAR- for me towards the middle and the end. But I will miss Filo though, she kept me watching or I would've dropped it. I will watch season 2 if there is only trash worse than it in that season, but I won't miss. I will remember it though if we cross paths. 6/10. |

| Good finale to an underwhelming series though. However, the fight between Glass and Naofumi felt short. Next wave...next season maybe? And then...reconstruction and the "kiss"... Uh...ok... At least this final episode gave closure to a new journey for Naofumi, Raphtalia and others. Really don't foresee a 2nd season. Ending felt hamfisted. |
 |
| I enjoyed this series a lot, sure, there are some things I didn't particularly like but it was a series I looked forward to every week. So after six months with it, I'm going to miss Wednesdays with the Shield Hero. Something that I find curious is that I didn't have a best girl/waifu in this series, like Raphtalia was nice but it never really caught my attention. Hell, I think I liked Lecia more with just the little bits she had or even Glass in this episode. |
