"Wah, art is bad, not enough Saitama, WAH"

To begin lets examine a little thing called "Story Progression" since many of youse don't understand how it works. *FYI this does include spoilers*. I've heard a great deal of people saying that Saitama doesn't act like he does in season 1. Well, theres a clean cut explaination... his character has obviously gone through a "Character Development". After defeating Boros in season 1, his attitude towards being a hero was destined to change and everyone can't seem to handle that because they are under the effect of tunnel vision. They keep comparing instead of looking at the season ... for its merits.

The animation does leave something to be desired, however in saying that it can objectively be said that the animation improved as the studio began to receive the critism. Comparing Saitamas "Side step" attack from EP 2 to Genos's Battle with Garou in Ep 11, its clear the art style improved and in some circumstances even held its own against the original art team.

The sound effects used were pretty standard. However they had used many stock sound effects and you can even hear them using some CSGO stock sound effects for some fight scenes. The OST was pretty much the same as season 1, The new Op was ok for the most part. The beginning of the Op hypes the audience but ultimately falls short as it changes its tempo straight after.

Garou is an amazing Villian and his development throughout the show is great to watch, his interactions with the child greatly reflected what his motives were and as the audience we end up getting attached to his character. Saitama is the same Saitama however as said before, he under went some character development which had him focus more on being a hero rather than being chill out and being a "hero for fun". Genos is good.

To say this show wasn't entertaining would be lie. It was pretty fun to watch and it even made me laugh in some areas. (which is surprising considering most if not all anime aren't funny, even with the comedy tag). The fight scenes were filled with colours and in some parts the animation made the fights fill fluid. which made it very enjoyable to watch

Overall, the show deserves nothing less than a 6, however I will be giving it a 7 because even though it wasn't the perfect sequel. At least it wasn't objectively bad like "Seven Deadly Sin: Season 3".

"Oh boy, another tasteless isekai with an unoriginal protago... hang on. This may just be what we have been waiting for" was my reaction to this anime and personally, it has to be said that "The rising of the shield hero' is a very enjoyable anime to watch despite the false reviews and outrageous opinions given.

I won't write a essays' worth of 'review' since these are meant to be short and sweet.

Story: Starting the anime off with a 40min+ episode really sets the whole plot for the story and I love how they portray the multiple characters goals and personalities thru this first episode, ... however, it does slow down in some episodes but that is forgiven due to the remarkable arc climaxes seen throughout the anime.

Art: Nothing too major to write about, your standard art style with some not so mediocre CGI scattered through at some points.

Sound: Two of the most beautifully sung openings in anime history, The first being "RISE" and the second "FAITH" (both sung by MADKID) absolutely get you hyped for the episode and never disappoint. The OST isn't bad either and really sets the tone for many scenes, although I did find the second Ending to be a bit odd and never really stuck with me

Characters: Nothing much to say besides they're really likable. Except for bitch/whore and trash (you'll get the reference later)

Enjoyment: Hell yeah, absolutely loved it.

Overall: 9, A definite watch for any fan that enjoys an interesting story and good characters

As you can see, by comparing the average score of 7.12 (time of writing) to most of the reviews giving it a 3 or a 2, people don't know how to write reviews. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to write a review which is truthful and actually gives an honest impression of the show. So without further ado, let's get into it. (This is will a quick review, where I cover the basic categories).

Story: If your a space enthusiast or just love the survival genre then O BOI does this show cater for you.

Art: literally the standard for anime nowadays, But the ... gore scenes are done perfectly

Sound: Absolute bliss, the opening and a classic, the sound of bugs getting squashed is amazing and never ceases to disappoint

Characters: They're more or less average characters, with most of the major characters surviving and most of their stories are portrayed through flashbacks which can be annoying for minor characters that no one cares about but are usually done quite well.

Enjoyment: HELL YEAH, Gore is all you need to enjoy any anime

Overall: This isn't a show to criticise for its story or art, but for what it does want to do... it does it pretty bloody well. (The gore of course). The final score is 8/10

One word, overrated. When I first started to watch this movie, I was really interested in what they could do with such a fun plot device, but as the movie dragged out longer and longer I started to realise a major problem with the film. Our characters have no depth to them. You could sum up the entire movie into a single sentence.

ALTHOUGH! I did think that the soundtrack was beautiful and really got through to me, same goes with the art style. (especially the scene with the shooting stars).

The story is a bit off as well, I found myself questioning a lot of ... the plot points and really disliking the direction the movie was heading. The worst thing about the movie though has to be the ending, I will not spoil it, but if you watch this movie. Don't expect some sort of great conclusion like I did, because you will only have disappointment at the end.

Overall I will give it a 7 as the Art style and sound design save this movie from being a 5 or a 6.
