mythologicallyrated The Rising of the Shield Hero
Shield Hero is the epitome of everything a good isekai is: uninspired, brainless, and self-fulfilling entertainment with good waifu bait.
Characters (10/10): Naofumi is the king of Chads. He hates everyone and everything and is always angry because that's just how he rolls. Having a mental breakdown and completely flipping your personality is the normal reaction to being framed for rape. Of course, Naofumi will always save any person in need he comes across, but not before extorting them out of their money, since he's the Chad King, and he's always right. His Chad abilities also allow him to make any female that isn't an antagonist fall in love with him, which brings us to the next segment: the non-chad characters. Raphtalia is pretty cute. Filo is also really cute. Oh yeah, the other 3 heroes are not Chads and they are bad. All of their actions are bad, while all of Naofumi's actions are good. Did they go do what they were supposed to do and kill the wave's boss? Yeah they're morally disgusting. They should've been protecting the random villagers along with the Chad King. The addition of Team Rocket is also really great. Jesse (princess) and James (spear man) just appear to cause trouble whenever possible, because they're bad, and Naofumi is good.
Story (9/10): After a really disappointing first episode that had things that don't belong in an isekai (actual good writing, characters you can sympathize with, a somewhat original plotline), the show's plot greatly improved. Everyone except the Chad King does bad things, but Chad King does good things. These despicable antagonists do things like "try to free a Stockholm-afflicted slave", which is just absolutely ridiculous lol. After C.K. resolves these issues, he just kinda drives around an enchants potions for 5 episodes straight while Raphtalia acts cute. Oh, and he also has the perfect shield for every single situation, since the Chad King must not be stopped by anything. That's exactly what I want from my isekai, not all of that "interesting start to the series" stuff.
Art & Sound (8.5/10): Kinema Citrus, just like usual, has above average art. Nothing special, but definitely good. The OST is average and the OP and ED are average. The voice acting, however, loses some points from me, as C.K. and Raphtalia's voices remind me of the disaster known as "Seishun Buta Yarou".
Enjoyment (9/10): As I said before, this would've been a masterpiece of the isekai genre if not for the appalling first episode.
