| I see people having different opinions about whenever or not it's rushed compared to the manga. But, as a LN reader, I gotta say it seemed quite rushed to me. I know the anime pacing is always faster than the novel and that's ok, but they coulda added a couple of other scenes to characterize their relationship a little more imo. |
| Im really liking this anime so far. Most likely going to be on of my favorites from the season. |

Best fans can hope for is for the adaptation to be as faithful as possible, even at the cost of worldbuilding/exposition/character building that has to be sacrificed to meet the time constraints of an anime episode. I'm an anime only atm (I am curious to see how the LN is) and I am enjoying this. |
| Signature. |
| Very good. I am anxious for the next episode |
| Nice opening and ending theme. Raphtalia was introduced. Naofumi is kind to her. Can't wait to see them getting stronger. |
 |
Read source please. It is a third of the whole tome. One double episode, as the first one, would be enough. |
| I haven't read the manga for a long long time so things are hazy for me on what was missing in that regard, but for me ep2 felt almost perfect and new again... it didn't feel that rushed to me. Sure, maybe an extra scene or two would've made the transition from 'not caring slave master Naofumi' to 'caring Naofumi' better (I think he lasted about a minute and I dont blame him with Raphtalia's hnngggghhh-ness), but I felt the tavern scene and campfire scenes were adequate enough to make the two characters connect. Now the god awful long week wait for ep3... we've been lacking good Isekai lately, so having one as good (so far) as Tate no Yuusha Nariagari is a treat for me. |
 |
| I loved the bond between Raph and Naofumi in the manga. And I was happy to watch it animated. |

I thought DOge fight will be like episode 4 and we will see how they get used to each other, from cold Nao and scared Raphtalia to an actual party. But they pushed it in 20 minutes. After awesome first episode this is just 0/10, my eyes bleed. If anyone liked first episode you better read ranobe, this was not an episode, this was a fucking abomination of speedrun industry. If i havent read ranobe I would be like "Duh, another trash isekai where girl fall in love in MC in a single fucking episode, total garbage, droped". It pains me for what they did to this episode. attention-whore, I just read the manga, it adapts 2 chapters, pretty standard for one episode anime, eventhough they skip some scene, I'm fine with it, no, actually I think it's better that way rather than what you hope, it might be boring if it becomes 3 episodes... |

| Too much cuteness <3 Raphtalia is very adorable! X3 Naofumi is a great parent XD Nice episode ^^ |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| He protecc and she attacc, as expected Raphtalia is just too adorable HNNNNGGGGG! Raphtalia crying shattered my heart T_T |
 |
| pretty good episode.. I definitely like the little demi human girl. I can see their bond becoming something cherishable. They both have to rely on each other. |
| Good ep.but that raccoon girl is smaller than i expected! is she just a little kid?like 5 years old? or they r just a small specie? and in trailer she looks taller, do we get a big time skip or its bcuz she lvl ups?(if its any thing but this 2 don't spoil :D) |

| animation fail? I'm pretty sure he couldn't take off the shield  |
i saw it aswell but it looks like he is feeding her cut hair to the shield that why it glows..but where is the hand? |
| Raphtalia is overcute, I already like her So far so good I like the show It's not very special or original but it's really enjoyable |
| They have speeded up a little compared to the Manga/LN, but it is still an excellent episode! it's a good adaptation in my opinion. |
Kerozinn said: i saw it aswell but it looks like he is feeding her cut hair to the shield that why it glows..but where is the hand? Nice job noticing that. He really is feeding her hair to the shield. He's just out of frame because he's bending over in a position and the mirror doesn't see it. Great way to reduce drawing him in and making the visual too cluttered and distract the audience from Raphtalia enjoying her new hair cut xD |
| I like the relationship between Raphtalia and Naofumi, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of their adventures together. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

KyouKaiTen said: Well, those who read both web novel and ranobe know that LN version introduced some new scenes/events compared to WN version. And those changes are not good, putting it mildly. They are mostly made to make other heroes look worse or absurdly stupid, just to be 100% sure you hate them.I just read the manga, it adapts 2 chapters And MANGA takes those bad changes introduced in LN and ditches the good scenes/events from original WN. So if you say "that's how it was in the manga" it says nothing really. TLDR: manga is really bad, read LN. |

-Stray said: Great 2nd episode, they covered a lot of stuffs, tho I kinda wished we saw this part. I guess you guys can check the img above since the anime probably wont have it. damn wish that was in the anime. also why do they keep rushing animes (seeing as half the comments are basically that). why not have long animes anymore. is it because they make more money by making more anime off merchandise rather than trying to sell more of one animes merch? |
malMaxi said: Actually we see it. It's just imperceptible because of bad scene composition if you don't know what to look for.we don't see Raftalia actually looking hungrily at the kid's meal in tavern, we just hear it from the MC You can think she's being shy here but in fact she is looking at that kid. |

| So glad that through the first two episodes this has been a pretty great adaptation, and hopefully it'll keep that up for the rest of its run |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| What the fuck was that pacing? It's not deal-breaking yet but it's somewhat worrying. They have 25 episodes to work with so idk why they decided to cram 1/3 of a light novel volume into 1 episode. The key events got through but the small details and episodes that made this part of the story all the more endearing were lost. |
 |
| OH GOSH! I'm so invested with this show! definitely following this like a loyal bastard! nice! this is gonna be my personal favorite! 5/5! |
 |
| That took longer for that Racoon Girl to finally kick same ass, btw in the intro she was seen grown up so does her kind grow up fast. |
| Is that... Could it be... Could it be best girl of the season?!:^)) |

| But slaves aren't people" I can already smell all the controversies brewing by taking this out of context, context being him playing a character because the merchant was super shady and knew exactly how much the slaves are worth to a shield hero so he started off with the most expensive one, Naofumi acted this way in order to not get scammed, but of course they're not gonna care about mc's circumstances when they have an agenda to push. -Stray said: Great 2nd episode, they covered a lot of stuffs, tho I kinda wished we saw this part.

No they didnt. slavemaster_1991 said: Rushed, missed a lot of details and character building for the best girl. While first episode followed the source perfectly, this one just skips everything that made Raphtalia's relationship with MC meaningful. If someone did not read the original, how is he supposed to know that gathering hair into the shield was a big deal? How would they know that Raph was seriously ill, if she got cured with a single medicine? How could they know how mentally unstable she was, if the whole scene with nightmares was almost skipped? I kinda hope that they will stop rushing the plot, cause without all those small details shield hero is just another good for nothing isekai. God manga readers always exaggerate its so annoying . |
Kyon_at_Best said: Great episode. Went back and reread chapters 3-4 of the manga after this episode. Sure a couple lines of dialogue and the scene where she wakes up in Naofumi's bed holding the ball given to her wasn't shown, but episode 2 was pretty faithful. It might seem rushed, mostly everything was shown from chapters 3-4 with some dialogue changes to still get the feelings and character development across. But the pacing isn't thrown off? I think we're just spoiled because we had a 40 min episode 1, and only a 20 min episode 2. At least for the most part nothing too much was omitted, and we still have more developments for Raphtalia? You have to remember, Loli Raphtalia grew into her adult form pretty fast. And Raphtalia's arc continues throughout the manga, it's not just 2-3 episodes; it's a slow build up. Even after they meet Firo, Raphtalia as a character continues to grow in the journey, she's not just some side heroine, she's THE heroine. To say they skipped or glossed over "Raphtalia's arc" is simply wrong. It might feel rushed, but it certainly didn't NEED to be stretched for 2 episodes. If that had happen, I think it would have made episode 2 and 3 seem rather too slow in pacing. I think people are complaining because they want more screen time for Loli Raphtalia. You have to remember that demi-humans grow pretty fast when they level up. She may look older, but her mind is still that of a child. Also, it may feel rushed, but it's better than scenes being skipped in your favorite anime and not showing up at all. I don't know how many times I hate to see that when it happens. I'm glad 90-95% scenes from chapters 3-4 remained albeit changed a little. People who are complaining about how it's not faithful to the light novel, the manga and anime's purpose isn't to 100% recreate the light novel. There's a reason why anime never does this, because the purpose of the manga and anime is to spur on sales of the light novel as well. If the anime adopted the light novel 100%, noone would bother reading the novel. Finally someone makes sense. SuccHunter said: What the fuck was that pacing?

| Going by the title of the next episode, it looks like where I stopped reading the manga is what'll be adapted, so from here on I'll be anime only Pacing seemed kinda fast but they pretty much went through a lot of what I did read and I must say that animated Raph is even more precious this way :'') OP and ED are pretty nice too, didn't really have any complaints rather than the pacing feeling a tad bit fast but other than that, great episode overall yet again imo P.S. I hope that all the SJW's and vanilla kids feel real dumb after all that bitching about "Gloryfying slavery" etc |
| Big shout for the ED which is really good. Decent episode, currently MC is walking the line between being a good guy and being a bastard. Was good to see the progression anyway. |

Are you somehow under the impression any of them actually watch or care about Anime? Just like the SJW's that infected the game industry, who none of them care about games, the only time they give a damn about any of this stuff is if they can come in and force a narrative down peoples throats. |
