#Alive #AliveAndThriving with Anime! #1Up #LUV
!!! Warning Spoilers for Previous Seasons !!!
Last Season Synopsis:
In the First season, dude gets summoned to a new world as a hero. Gets treated poorly by everyone there and then gets betrayed which pisses him off so much he becomes overpowered. Generally speaking everyone loved this anime but people were annoyed with some of the
Thoughts:
I loved this anime early on. The MC is supposed to be an Anti-Hero (I'll come to how I feel about the directors handling of that in my Nitpicking section) that people still root for inspite of the fact that he uses slavery to gain power. Ironically this anime introduced one of the most hated anime antagonists I've ever seen, and somehow it's not the MC slave owner!
Nitpicking:
(Buckle Up 😜)
I was so enamored with this anime I had to read up on it because I couldn't stand waiting for the weekly releases. In this case it was an extra long wait after the first episode because it was released as an hour long special 2 weeks before it was actually supposed to air. The wait was killing me.
After reading I couldn't wait to see the anger of the shield hero play out on screen. Also I was looking forward to the raising of Filo. Unfortunately they did Filo's hatching as a montage which, I understand it's to save money and time but it was cute in the story. Unfortunately the montages didn't stop with just Filo's hatching, they went a little montage crazy with him traveling, learning to read, the bar scene on the island which I felt was a pretty important plot point skipped over only to be brought up again later during one of the major battles.
Now, with all this said, most of it can be forgiven... But what I cannot forgive is how kind hearted they kept the Shield hero. This Ainz, okay? Naofumi don't give no flyin' fig about the princess. Or even most of the citizens of the whole country! He hates most of the people. That's how get gets the curse shield from his blazing anger towards them! Why did they have to go and make him so kind and caring in the anime when he forces people to pay money to keep them alive! Towards the end of the first season, the queen tries to put Bitch and Foolish King to death. But no no no no nooooo dammit! That's not how it is. It's the Shield who demands they both be put to death. But the queen pleads with him to spare their lives. You see, the king is a war hero, and as much as she can't stand Bitch, she's her daughter, so she pleads with him. But Naofumi refuses at first, until eventually he caves and then changes their names to humiliate them. I THINK he also demanded they be slaves as well. Don't quote me on that one though. Not only that, the queen would never end her life as they suggested in the anime. She actually cares about her responsibility to her people and country so she wouldn't have done that. She just doesn't want another war between the humans and demihumans and for that reason only, does she request the Foolish King not be killed. Argh, frustrating. That one point completely changes Shield hero's personality and to me, it changes how could the series would have been, had the MC been an asshole like he's supposed to be.
Does it stop it from being a great anime? No definitely not. But I feel like it would have been so much better and so much more ... meaty ... had they kept him a dark and brooding figure rather than another pure of heart hero. There's more I can say and gripe about, especially with Shield and Spears bouts but I'll shut up about it now.
Next Season:
Really looking forward to next season. Like I said, my nitpicking doesn't mean it's not a great anime. If I remember correctly we'll see Shield going... And also discover interesting facts about Glass and L'Arc... Plus... Or it could be... Which happens... I may be getting the two mixed up. So it could be we discover stuff about... first and then it's on with Glass and... Good stuff ahead for sure.

I loved The Rising of Shield hero anime. I can't wait for a continuation! :)
Same! And not just one but 2 more seasons are guaranteed which is lovely. And I'll say this, depending on how quickly they go through the stories (as mentioned they did do a lot of montages to skip through a lot of stuff) there's enough for 5 more seasons not just 2. Plenty of material so I hope they do it right, take their time, and we get even more soon. :D
5 seasons o.O that sounds crazy good
Depends on how they handle it but yeah there's plenty of material :)
