(Don't think saying this is spoiling btw) Idk but for me it's 3/10, not only they skipped so many important informations, Naofumi changed so much. I'm not quitting but I'll watch in 2x speed |
I know but it isn't my job to be entertaining. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Finally something interesting happens in the last 2 mins. |
| I actually enjoyed this episode. It's no secret they are speed running this second season, and I think this second season will be the entire Turtle arc. Considering season one's 25 episodes was based on 5 novels, this second season will most likely feature a 4 volume arc in the course of 13 episodes. So the speed running becomes that more obvious. Still, it was nice to see Rishia get some screen time, giving us a chance to get to know her a bit more. I've seen so many comments of people not liking her as a character, don't worry, Naofumi finds her annoying AF in the novels. If she seems annoying and rather useless, that's the point. Most of the characters in the anime have flaws, some more then other. Some are annoying, others are pieces of sheit. Thank god for that! Imagine of everyone was the same. She's actually gotten a nicer presentation in the anime compared to the novel, but I will admit, there was a few times in the episode I did get a tear in my eye. I've mentioned this before, this adaptation is very messy, if I wasn't a novel reader, I'd be confused as hell. But as someone who loves this series dearly, I want this to be good. The first three episodes didn't fill me with a lot of hope, and keep in mind, I know what's coming. But I did actually feel a slight increase in the old hope boner. It's still very messy, but it feels very much like they are trying to get to the second half of the story as quickly as possible, that's my impression anyway. If that's good or not, that remains to be seen. I'd say I would call myself causelessly optimistic at this point. That we can look back on this season after it's done san say something like "messy start, but it turned out allright". |

DoubleR said: AsakaraYoruto said: They went there first, found a village on ST back, then went to grab the Queen and some people to take care of the corpses and search for survivors(which ofc the people are already dead by the ST familiars attacking their place and chasing them who can't get down from ST's back. They are already killed before ST got first killed on the anime). Alright thanks. They also did this in the first episode as well, Naofumi was like "Im going to kill the turtle", going to that town. The next thing the whole army is there as well too with the queen..so he might as well traveled with them and not alone. to make Ost remember how to defeat ST, they hop on the back(beginning of eps, they literally said their group will go first because everyone else is taking care of casualties right after the battle in prev eps). Ost somehow pointed at village the night they camped on ST's back. |

| i have a feeling that glass and naofumi might have some character development together. like maybe the fend of the tortoise together or something. |
 "Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out."  |
| It seemed that Rishia told something serious, but it was totally ruined by that stupid costume. Till when does she have to wear that? |

My favourite moment of perhaps the entire season so far: Ost starts whiny dialogue and Naofumi just walks away lmao Glass is back huh, I guess its getting somewhat interesting? Though 1/3 of the cour is already over so it is about time. We got some backstory to Rishia but will we ever see why she wears her fursuits all the time? |

| am I the only one whos actually enjoying this season so far..... also, glass in twintails got me feeling some kinda way |
 |
| The second part was a bit interesting, first part not so much. We got some of Rishia's backstory, that's okay I guess. Well, I didn't imagine that there would be people living on it's back. RIP to them. It was kind of cheap when the temple started coming down right before Ost was telling how to defeat Tortoise, I mean is Shield hero out of everything else that they are using these cheap tricks to build suspense and shit? Anyway we soon found out how to kill it and who could have thought that destroying it's heart would kill it? I liked it when Rishia spoke up and said that she's a part of Naofumi's party now and that she will come with them to the heart. A better cliffhanger than last episode. 4/5. Bring back the old Tate no Yuusha, this season is not even half as good as season 1 :/ |
 |
| Well honestly kinda weird inserting Rishia backstory out of sudden like that. Not to mention i don't even remember how on earth other cardinal heroes on danger inside the turtle. I feel like they can do more better for the story telling aspect, because i am pretty sure there's something off and weird feeling when i can't even following whats goin on, by how the storyline works around here, ngl. But oh well, looks like i am just gonna get along with it, till the end of this season. Anyway, whats on next? So they decide to climb the back of the tortoise and found out a little information, which ofc not really much to be revealed (this, i am afraid i may forget about this again, so yeah, cut me some slack about this). Then again, Ost remembered what to do next, its inside the tortoise ... Funny how they joke about such an unfunny thing. But yeah keeps going on, i guess xd. Well, at least there's something good in the end. That otherworlder from another world heroes again from the previous wave! Welcome back, Glass, and hope you get a nice little bonding moment there with Naofumi.... Next! |

| This is the first episode of S2 which felt like the Shield Hero episodes from last season. It wasn't like the best episodes from S1, but this was decent. Hopefully things will get even better now that we have the reintroduction of certain plot elements at the end of the episode. |
| finally we can see glass hot material girl !! |
| This is really limping along. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Nobody cares about Rishia nd it's normal, she's just annoying and no character development apart from "what a poor girl" Also the quality and timing/pacing is kind of ... off this season, it's very saddening :( |
 |
| Okay, i had my problems with s1, but overall it was good, adapted everything decently enough, and was drawn good enough on the boring parts you could still watch it (usually, the cgi birb was annoying to see), and the good parts even looked borderline great... This season though? Ugh. Uh-uh. Fk it, i'm out, not only is it a pain to look at 70+% of the time, but the story is also utterly broken and glued together by so much goo that wasn't even there, i just can't. Hope whoever does these adaptations like this, berserk 2016, one punch s2 and others goes bankrupt and never touches any show again. |
| After 4 garbage episodes finally something interesting happens...but at the last 30 seconds. Glass looking good. |

Someone else said it was a stat boost thingEps 1 explained that it's so that she can work hard despite feeling down(since nobody could tell clearly when she's down) The costume definitely boosted her stats, but she also explained that she also wears it to hide her complex. Yeah, the scene is pretty bland, so casual watchers won't even remember. This is what happened when the anime changed the events completely, even though the LN has build Rishia's introduction to her complex perfectly... |
| Just want to say, the anime sure did Rishia so much unjustice. People saying they don't care because the anime cut Naofumi's anger to Itsuki, because it is basically impossible for Ani-fumi to reach LN-fumi's anger. Go read a little about Rishia's banishment scene and drowning scene in LN 6. The manga adapted the scene very well too. The anime did throw a curveball to Ost, which felt nice since I don't think she had any unique personality in the LN. |
| Ughh I caught myself yawning nearing the middle of the episode. *sigh* I vaguely remember those people at the end of Season 1, I hope we get more action now that they've shown up. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Every time I see the green haired girl on screen I get so bored my brain goes daydreaming. I don't know this is incredibly uninteresting so far it's not the anime I remember. |
| It took Naofumi too much time of this episode to act like human being rather than robot... Only when they entered the cave he suddenly actes notmally. Well, I can see the thing of Rishia with the Bow Hero. But maybe he didn't have the right commrades to help her help him. About those three in the end... can't say I'm surrprised they returned. We'll see from there. |
 |
| Well, no wonder Itsuki doesn't want Rishia anymore, can't really blame him. Despite being a crybaby simp, at least Rishia knows her place and really place herself as Naofumi's party member. I just really hope she wouldn't try to come back to Itsuki when she finally becomes useful later, I don't like seeing ungrateful ones. |

| I've never watched a show that got such consistent 'It was Okay' or worse votes. Not saying it doesn't deserve it, just an observation. |
| The backstory seems like an afterthought ngl |

| Man... the direction feels flat as always.... the story is still uninteresting to me. |

UaEfAlCoN83 said: My only reaction is: WTH is going on? The pacing is so weird. Why are they talking about the other three heros? I remember they mentioned some rumor briefly that they died but they never really fought the tortoise so why are they concerned about them? It is just weird. The three looser ran off to fight the turtle on their own when they heard about it, but went missing during the battle. The anime cut these information crumbs from the shadows and Fitoria... The anime is rushing a not so good story, making it even worse. It's like pouring gas on a house fire... |
| I really liked Rishia's backstory, I was not sure how I felt about her character at first, but I am definitely coming around to her. I love to see she's sticking up for herself. Also I really want to know what does the spirit tortoise poop? |
 |
| Generic, boring and the animation is mediocre. I’m dropping this series. |
| They did bring back those other world heroes after all! I was just a few minutes at the end though. Most of the episode was pretty dry, more nameless characters and then they pay respects to a dead village again nameless. We got a little backstory about the bow hero, but it's hardly compelling because he literally banished her from the team. |

titodacat said: For me I think it lost some of the magic now that it's on a "grander" scale. Season one we started out with our hero being thrown in the mud and down on his luck. The world he was summoned to hated him and he was setup to look like a criminal to which was a mystery why they hated the shield hero so much. So we had an edgy lead who used his anger to become something and get stronger and went on a journey with him. When you are focusing on quests and only Shield Hero and his two followers the story felt tighter. Plus part of the fun was the edgy hero getting his revenge and seeing him level up his shield to do new things, however by the end of the season that edge had dulled out and Naofumi's name was cleared. man I wish I could understand what about this season makes me not like it as much. I think this was a pretty alright episode, I liked the backstory, I still don't understand what it is the green hair lady wants out of this. also pretty cool that the other other worlders are here even if I barely remembered them. This season widens the scope and characters sloppily taking focus away from the three characters we care about and making them less interesting and just reactive to the story, like Raphtalia not having much spotlight and just going through the motions. Half these newer people and new generals and cities are barely established yet we're supposed to care about the worlds struggles beyond the waves now and watch Naofumi fight a giant turtle. It feels like we're getting away from the waves and the interesting subplot of the other heroes like Glass which was intriguing and gave us antagonist. Luckily Glass and the "other" heroes are making an appearance so maybe the show will get better. There are a lot of reason you may not like this season as much honestly but that's my feelings at least. I felt like they just pushed the viewers into the future and skipped a few steps to get us to where we are now and I am playing catch up to understand a plot that's honestly not that interesting yet on the surface from what I've seen. Maybe the next episode will breathe some life into it. On top of all that this season feels rushed, and I'm usually fine with a quick pace if executed well but this show isn't it. |

| The ending of the episode is a little confusing to me. Why is it a shock to Naofumi that Glass is with the other heroes from her world? EDIT: Reading through some of the earlier comments, it's even more confusing that people don't remember who Glass is. She's been a part of something like 1/5 of the episodes in season 1. If you need your memory refreshed about who Glass is, go here: https://www.crunchyroll.com/the-rising-of-the-shield-hero For Glass watch ep.: 11, 12, 24, 25 For L´Arc/Therese watch ep.: 23, 24, 25 As far as I remember though, she retreated with the other heroes/vassals in the boat fight late in Season 1.. Which again leads me to ask, why was Naofumi surprised to see her in particular? |

It's already established that the others and she is from the same place. Assuming that the others can go there outside waves and not her... doesn't make sense. But at least it's an explanation, thanks. |

And waves are happening everywhere on the world, not just in the country where Naofumi is. Cardinal Heroes are forbidden from leaving the world they are in, they are the defenders of that world. Vassal Heroes are the attackers. L'Arc, Glass and Kyo are Vassal Heroes. |
| So we finally know why Rishia wants to be with the Bow hero so badly. Glass and her group are back. Things should start to pick up now. I hope. |
