It starts pretty unique, but then becomes a isekai harem power fantasy. I enjoyed it a lot despite that. The character design is excellent.

What do you mean by "isekai level"? The genre is pretty varied in terms of how much money companies invest in the animation departmemt.

Short answer, yup
Long answer, it depends on your fetis- I mean preference if you kinda like op isekai protags then def worth a watch, if you like weak to strong revenge arcs, worth a watch, if you like super wholesome romance moments where the mc breaks down and is pulled up by his super hot waifu, gotta watch it,
And even if you don't like isekai I will still say you need to give it atleast 4 eps and then decide if you wanna drop or not

It's pretty good. First few episodes are great, although it becomes slightly less good as it progresses. I don't watch much isekai, so I don't know much about the stereotypes, but the art in this show is really nice and the protagonist is genuinely great, which was a pleasant surprise. I found the plot to be lacking, but in the end it's still enjoyable and I recommend giving it a try.

The animation is really good. Yes, it does still fall in line with the OP MC with a harem but it’s real well written. The characters are well written and develop nicely, even if the setting isn’t the most unique it stills really interesting and different enough to stand out, the way everything plays out fits nicely and goes together really well. Overall it’s a good watch, it’s a good anime and not just compared to other isekai

Yes. Weak to strong mc, has common sense, he doesn't try to be the nice guy even after someone treats him like shit, raphtalia.

Overall i liked how the mc handled his situation and the anime itself had its wholesome moments which worked well in contrast with the rage parts.

Not so typical isekai MC here, that's what I like about this. Also both openings are banger.

I really disliked it because while the premise is really cool all the characters kind of suck they try to make the mc different by making him an antihero but to me he just really came off as a jerk and all the females around him just worship the ground he walks on and that got a bit annoying to me and the rest of the supporting characters are just absolutely ridiculously dumb while the villans are evil for the sake of being evil one last thing is im convinced Natsumi is the villan cause they make it seem like he's in thr right and everyone else is evil but wouldn't you get the slightest bit mad if you saw someone buying a slave or two didnt ruin my experience but still just thought I'd say it but I know I'm in the minority on this so take my words with a grain of salt

You should watch because of the drama around the MC, the story-line is well written and how MC being the shield hero can be stronger than the others with just a shield. The other things you will find if you watch the anime. I suggest you to watch it.

Its about our mc Naofumi having his revenge arc, and that alone is a pretty good reason to watch imo. Its different from other isekais in that sense because other isekais typically has its mc being op and praised for it. Naofumi actually had to work hard to get to where he is right now.

Yes it's worth.
They still got that 'generic isekai theme' but c'mon, Naofumi was well-written, the characteristics were the one that hooked me up

It's a great anime, but it does fall off in the later half like Sword Art Online. Although, the drop off isn't as significant. It has 3 seasons already confirmed and the 2nd one hasn't even came out yet. So you shouldn't need to ask. It's an incredibly incredibly incredibly well received/popular anime. Although, it's no where near the level or even in the same universe of Mushoku Tensei.

I find it strange how no one has mentioned how good the soundtrack is. Its by Kevin Penkin, same guy behind Made in Abyss' soundtrack (same studio by the way).

I'd really recommend shield hero. There are its pros and cons. Sometimes CGI does not look good (for example in ep 7) and sometimes it is misused, but I like the art in this show. Character development is very good, and the "rising" of the shield hero is a very interesting way to present a story. The first time I watched this show was exactly one year ago (I'm not joking) so I don't remember everything, but I recommend you give it a try.

I would say this show around 7-8,I personally like it,since the setting,plot amd character is kind of interesting,and the animation is pretty good. I would say it's good as much as tensura. To me,top three isekai is re:zero,mushoku tensei and konosuba,which I would give around 8,9-10. Tensura and shield hero is kind of behind them. There's other like youjo senki and jietai which around 7-8. And the rest of isekai like overlord and all just the same value around 5,6-7 at best. Well,at least in my oponion.

I ironically enjoyed shield hero just for that one revenge segment but the harem should be nonexistent though idm about it appearing for this 2nd season + the 3 other heroes who are reincarnated = useless characters though they're quite a fool to Naofumi, I don't even want them to exist without any further development. Naofumi's shield ability though is quirky and cool.

Thanks for mentioning this, gonna start watching this. I was especially intrigued considering this is the top most anticipated anime sequel of next season on MAL so definitely gotta watch this one.

It's not well written at all. Lol. The girl accuses him of rape because potatoes. Everyone just believes her because potatoes. He mocks the spear hero for being dumb enough to fall for Bitch-chan's lies, when he fell for her lies as well. He mocks spear hero for only having cute girls in his group when he's the same. He trashes the hero for only doing things for rewards, when he's the same way.

The shield thing is dumb. No game would ever have that mechanic, so the premise is dumb.

If you want to read an actual quality manga about video games and rpg mechanics, read Dungeon Meshi. Though it won't appeal to most people who like Shield Hero because it gives nuance to every character, including the antagonists and opposition, plus it's not filled with waifus who worship the main character. The villain of Dungeon Meshi is actually well written, and even with Dungeon Meshi's being pure evil, they manage to give him more nuance than Bitch-chan.

This is a pure dumpster fire. I just watch it because its so bad. Maybe it will explained later on why the chars behave this way, but as its now it just doesnt make any sense. Im at ep 13 right now. Worst one is the queen. Why did she marry that moron and give him power and how the f did they raise their first daughter this way? But the plot turns and events are so badly presented, its funny to watch and I probably continue just to learn about the next ridiculous happenings. And yeah, I dont get its rating. Gave it a 4/10 (bad), but its actually way worse and just gave it some more points, because Im entertained by this wreck.
