| I'm so glad the finale episode was a peaceful end! Glass seems to be weaker but cute when she was affected to the wine... Lecia(Hueeeee!) was the MVP!!! and Napfumi adopted her cuz scum Itsuki dump her out if his part! what a scum bag! the other three heroes are scumbags especially Motoyasu! It was a great idea that Naofumi is now the Lord of the previously destroyed village Seyaette's Demi-Human Region that Raphtalia came from. Bald Oyajii still supports Naofumi! also, Baba is also their ally! nice, and will train the new trainees! Did the two kiss? or just a burst of emotions hug? 5/5. 9/10. Hoping there's gonna be S2 and be included on the next season of Isekai Octet! lolz |

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. 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. Kirito201811 said: 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% 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). Fate zero was done by studio Ufotable which I wont be suprised for top notch anime quality. In addition, ufotable will more likely have a higher budget to spend |

| Other heroes still useless after all that. Naofumi should get recruitments from the slave master again. I don't think s2 is coming soon because the current chapter of the manga is not that far from the end of the anime. |

| raphtalia and Naofumi totally kissed when u concider her face looked up and hes down, the way they were said it all, but others didn't notice it |
| Decent conclusion, I m only a bit uncertain on them trying to adapt some of vol6 already, I m not recalling here exactly volume 5 ends, but maybe it was a better decision to end it with showing the direction the plot will take later on... Nothing surprising for those that have read the LN, it was good to see Cal Mira arc animated, but they could have rush it a bit less. They really need to change Glass's design, the LN is a better fitting:  Looks less plain and more detailed overall. Also CR fucking up with Rishia's name, it is not Licia, wtf... 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. Watch your mouth! I dont wanna see cute Towa wilding like that on this show. It was a decent adaptation, if you didnt like it, just consider Isekai is not for you, or you are getting burnt from the genre. |
 |
| As expected of a series based on novels, there was no way they could show it all. i am surprised they managed to make it to 25 episodes as most of them end in 12. |
| I don't care what people say. I loved this show. Raphtalia, Filo, Melty - all these characters had something that made me love them and it was really fun to see their adventure together with Naofumi. Also the kiss scene at the end... I had to rewatch it like 10 times to be sure, but omfg it looks like it really was a kiss! Was waiting for this for sooo long T_T. I hope that we will be able to see season 2 as soon as possible! |
| Shield Hero makes it hard to love it. I found it even harder to rationalize your love to a degree it remains defensible when written down in a review. This has to do with an omnipresent "yes, but" quality in the anime adaptation. Yes, the story telling is progressive, but no it wasn't executed well. Yes, characters like Raphtalia develop and are not flat, but no it wasn't shown well, spoiled both by bad facial animation quality and disjointed story pacing. And this list goes on and on. It’s easy to write a review for a show you love or hate, but writing one for a show you love but which almost actively rejects your love was ... challenging. Overall my rating is 6/10, which is a 5/10 with some bonus to piss off haters and because I'm proud fantasy trash. The direction into which the anime points is where I want the isekai genre to develop. The execution and production values have room for improvement on that way. |
 |
| @Playcool , on CR her name is Lecia, to be more precise. Glass' looks awesome as shown in the LN! Not only she is even more thicc than in anime, but most of all her look seems to be more detailed. Compared to her original concept, Glass from the anime adaptation looks just plain. |
| WTF, you mean to tell me that Glass and her gang were heroes from another world???? So, that wave was actually nothing more that a natural phenomenon that simply pit one group of heroes from one world to another group of heroes of another world, and it just happens that Glass's gang were the aggressors, and what's with that wine thing that Glass was weak for, I mean it was wine right, so why should she felt weak from it after taking a shower from it???? |
| 8/10, i like it, waiting for S2 now |

| |
| Decent adaptation. But the inclusion of Malty and the King after their punishment pulled the score down to 7/10. |
 |
| Didn't really live up to the expectations that I had for it (was a big fan of the manga and was excited to hear that this got an adaptation) but nonetheless it was a fun ride, the anime's biggest mistake is watering down Naofumi's character, he isn't supposed to be this calm,cool and collected. Him being bitter and angsty is supposed to mean something making this more fun to watch as you don't really get MC's like that nowadays, but alas. Anyways 6/10, coulda been better but also could have been a lot worst. That being said I'm surprised with how many people hated this but continued to reach its end. You guys sure had a lot of free time on your asses, a normal and sane person would drop a show they start to hate, then again I also did the same shit when I had a lot of free time just to fck over people so I get you. In movies you can do this as you dont really know how the plot progresses hence has no basis on what you're getting yourself into, but this is a 2cour series, you had plenty of time to drop it when you realized it was gonna be shit. Recent one that comes to my mind is with Gunjou no Magmel, the story really had me hooked, was excited for each ep until it showed the 2 MC's being assholes to a nice guy and dropped it in an instant. Come to think of it I dropped 3 shows this season. OPM S2, Gunjou and Kenja. Anyways Shield Hero wasn't good but it also wasn't THAT bad as some claim it to be, at the very least Japanese people seems to like this show. |
  |
| I really felt it's bit too much generic filler and was about to be glad it's going to end, but I dunno, I am weak against those sentiment endings, and I am quiet interest of how Naofumi gonna handle it's own domain and other heroes. And Raphtalia-chan best waifu of the year? I am gonna miss this cutie. Was she kissing him in last scene? Was she? I want more episodes now. |
 |
| My only complain is why is Malty and the King still scheming around. like they should be Naofumi's slaves. Naofumi x Rapthalia is wrong it should be Glass x Naofumi |
| Well, if it doesn't happen in the movie, I guess this will be the closest thing to a kiss between Sakuta and Mai I will get... if that still-frame was actually a kiss, of course. Such a tease, Kinema. Ok... and so, this disappointment of an anime comes to its end. Not gonna lie, the three first episodes and the second half of the fourth one had me pretty interested but from there, the show simply went downhill due to how boring/absurd/insufferable/predictable the story progression became. Not to mention that I absolutely hated the idea of making everyone look useless and stupid so that, Naofumi and his party can be the only likeable characters. That's not the way to make an MC relatable for the audience but whatever. Also, I already expressed my major complaints about the cast (the other three heroes, Malty, Aultcray, the pontiff, etc,) and stuff in their respective episode discussions so I will refrain from repeat them again here but man, the way they were written was so poor and their development was so "non-existent" that every minimal hope of potential this anime had was simply ruined due to how boring and unrealistic these one-dimensional characters were throughout the 25 episodes. 3/10 - If Kinema ever have an urge for making a second season, I really hope they make one for Made in Abyss or Revue Starlight instead of one for this mediocre series. |

| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| Well that sure was disappointing, guess it was my fault for hyping this show after only two episodes. Oh well, hopefully season 2 will be better. Welp, I'm gonna try my luck with Slime isekai and see if that ones any better. |
| I don't really keen on picking up the LN but can someone clear me up on why heroes from another world need to defeat the 4 heroes from Melromarc? |
 |
| Loved this season one ending episode and hope that season 2 will be just as good. |
| ..and the current other three heroes are still basically useless. Maybe in their own chapters in that book they were really heroes worthy of renown, or maybe it was "others" before or after them. Started watching this on a whim after seeing some clips on YouTube, it didn't disappoint. Story was great on the first 4/5 episodes, after overcoming everything that idiotic King and his literal bitch of a daughter could come up with, really makes his rising even more profound. I thought it was good enough. 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

Though the anime you mentioned, Gate and overlord, there is plenty of comedy surrounded and in somewhat bland regarding to plot. Animation is nothing spectaular which to me it seems similar to Hero shield. Goblin slayer was a fantastic anime, not sure what you were expecting from that either. Defending and Survival from goblin and completing quests. |

Otorez said: Akashh said: Worst anime i watched this year, shit like this will surely get S2 and i will say it again those first couple of epi are lie. For something you consider like the "worst anime watched this year", you sure went easy on your rating lol Last episode was cool, I expected a longer fight vs Glass' party, but it ended up in an unexpected way. However the kind of epilogue that somehow announces nothing is finished (well that is something everybody knows considering the current source material already available) was great ! The Rising of the Shield Hero started on a betrayal & treason note, ends airing on peaceful background where everybody seems to live in harmony. A lot of people have written about how this show went from interesting premise to "NaOfUmI - sAmAaAaAaA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", and I'm with them on that. Can you/someone tell me if this is a major plot hole or the author just came up with it when writing this section : If Glass loves her world so much and would do anything(fight to the death) to save it, why did she not get it done with(kill Naofumi and the other heroes) in their first encounter in the mid season episode. Instead, I'm pretty sure, she said to become stronger and left. |
 |
| I mean it was fine I guess. Glass is somehow defeated with crushed berries saving Naofumi from actually doing the thing. The other heroes didn't do a thing either. God it burns me out how they talk about getting a new party member and immediately after what do they find? If not a loli - a bishoujo. Supporting male cast? Not in my isekai! To top it off she was kicked out of another heroes party further proving the author has no intent of ever making the other heroes into real characters. The live only make Naofumi look better. And god Raphtalia is such waifu bait. Man there are so many things I can nitpick about this show; I'm just talking my score down. |
sora2eugene said: you can mention many more far better action-fantasy or even isekai anime such as re:zero, gate, overlord of course, grimgar, etc. maybe not goblin slayer cause that's even worse than shield hero. >Goblin Slayer >isekai Pick one. Also, it maybe depends on taste, but both objectively and subjectively I treat "Goblin Slayer" as way better anime in most if its aspects. |
| This series was great at promoting a lolicon relationship to the general anime community. For the most part, people seemed okay with the (implied) kiss between the 10 or 11-year old Raphtalia and Naofumi, mostly due to Raphtalia being a beloved character and her appearance having been altered. It's like this series and Senko-san were working from two polar opposite angles towards the same goal. It's a baby-step, but I'm okay with it. |

I agree Goblin slayer is def a good anime and not sure what you were expecting from the series |
| "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| the kawaii cringe in this anime is too much |
| Really liked this show overall. Kept me engaged till the end, well, some episodes better than others, but it was still a cool adventure and satisfying to see all those fuckers eat up their words that they've thrown at Naofumi and being punished accordingly, some great stuff right there, and i'm happy with this show. 8/10 |
 |
| Season two please because I loved it and so the haters can get more saltier. |
 |
| I can actually say I am content with how this ended. The soundtrack really picked up too these last five episodes. |
| I see mixed opinions about this series, for me personally i really like the series. Finalle was decent, i like the isekai vibes, it's different since the MC didn't start as an OP character that'd be boring but instead he gradually grew stronger and he has more hidden powers to come, also he reminds me of Captain America which is great. Great character development, i really enjoy that aspect the most out of everything, especially the bond between Naofumi and Raphtalia, and yeah i think i found a new waifu. So glad that Naofumi decided to rebuild Raphtalia's village, everyone seems happy. I'm still curious about the hero from another world and if there's a way to stop the monster wave without killing heroes from another world. I won't say this is the original ending of the anime series and i'm pretty sure there'll be a 2nd season although there hasn't been an annoucement, yet. or i'll just read the LN instead. Overall score 8/10, i'm lowkey hoping for 2nd season |

| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| tbh it doesn't really seem Naofumi has become much smarter with all the things hes gon through and experienced.. I was also kinda missing sad music when Raph cried, now I didnt get emotional... The anime had quite some few unsatisfying and displeasing stuff but overal still enjoyable 6/10 |
 |
| This was good, happy ending. Still leaving stuff open with the otherwordly heroes. Hoping for another season but time will tell. |
