The Rising of the Shield Hero (2019)

Written by DallasBob on April 30, 2022

This animation The Rising of the Shield Hero (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari) is in the isekai genre; meaning modern day person transported (usually by magic) to another plain of reality or another world; typically fantasy based.

This series is exceptionally good. While there is some liberal based ideas in the series, there isn't a saturation to point of poisoning the audience or putting off the fan base. The development of the protagonists throughout the series is pretty good and reminded me a lot of another isekai anime called Log Horizon. Though instead of following a dozen characters, this anime follows five to six to include the main protagonist, the Shield Hero.

I wish I could go into detail on how well this series was written but I would mainly be repeating myself. The pacing, character development, drama, and trauma of all the characters is spot on, and the consistency is flawless. You will not be wasting your time watching this series; it is well worth a look-see.

9.5 out of 10 stars, simply because I like a little more fan service to my anime. Ex. Yuuna and the Haunted Bath House lol
