The show is pretty good. It has some interesting concepts. The interesting part is the slave part where some people who are too young or sensitive to be watching anything will complain about. I think one review here was someone complaining about their children watching this show. I'm sorry but this is not a show meant for children or adults with the minds of children to be watching.

Shield Hero starts of with a very modern concept of man being falsely accused of sexual assault. That was a nice plot setup and a very real scenario in this day and age. Every begins to hate him and he is publicly despised despite being innocent. Along his journey he finds companions that he can trust. The entire setup of this series is that it's like an rpg video game. The way the characters fight and group up are the same as you'd find in a video game. The slave theme reflects on the rpg idea that the main character has npc characters that follow him around in his party that he controls.

The lead character makes all the decisions for them from what they wear to their skills to how they fight and they share experience points to level up. It's kind of funny to make those types of party characters slaves in this world but I think like a lot of things that went over peoples heads who aren't even familiar with rpg games in general.

This series is mainly like an rpg game that came to life but it's done in a way that seems more realistic than others. The series has some nice concepts but there are times when it seems like the seriousness is broken by some corny harem jokes. That seem unnecessary to the plot. Like the character is 20 with 11yo girls falling in love with him it's the part I don't like about this series that keeps me from rating it higher.

The good in the series is that it's realistic in the way it shows conflicting ideas and people not wanting to work together and clashing even though they need to depend on each other to survive. I thought that was a great which adds to the realistic perspective of this anime.

Overall it was a decent watch for me. Better than average but not a masterpiece. I think watching 1-3 episodes you'll know if it's a show for you or not.

The first season was 10/10, but the second season, in comparison, is an abomination. As of right now, not a single episode of season 2 is worth watching. They are all dreadfully dull and watching them is a waste of time, but season 1 was good enough that I keep watching in hopes it'll get better.

Season 1 was good but I must say this series went down the wrong path in season 2. The acting just feels empty for season 2. It's like they were just trying to give screen time to every single character. The series is meant to be a journey for the shield hero. But season 2 just keeps introducing new characters who the viewers have no attachment to.

The animation is okay but the fights lost how intense they were in season 1. For example the fight between shield hero and glass in season 1 was awesome. But season 2 makes glass look like some side extra .

Season 2 of the shield hero was disappointing.

Besides the tipical isekai theme, the series has a quick start with the characters accepting just from the first episode that they are in another world. This could seem bad for a development, but its very refreshing and let the series take another view (which is, of course, the main plot from the series). Our protagonist is betrayed from the very start and makes him to see the wonderful isekai world in which he was invoked as it is in reality, a normal kingdom with all its fails and trash. From that point our protagonist evolves in such a smooth way that you dont remember the last time he didnt taste food. the soundtrack is wonderful, following the pase of the series perfectly and the seiyu's have made an excelent job voicing naofumi, filo and the racoon loli. the animation is acceptable, with some fails, but those dont ruin the experience. my score for the series is 8,5/10 and as a personal opinion a 9/10

If you were disappointed in Sword Art Online - as I was - then this is the anime for you. As other reviewers have said, this anime is what SAO should have been. From the beginning this series had me hooked.

Sure, there are some over-the-top (e.g. killer penguins and rabbits) or cliche moments, but overall it's really good. There's a good mix of sad and happy moments, which I really appreciated and enjoyed.

I hope season two will be as good.
