I hope this anime will not fall to the same trap like the shield hero.

Shield Hero was a disappointment because it lacked any real goal or meaning to the hero's journey after he got his revenge. You can't expect to love the anime if the protagonist doesn't really have any reason to fight other than collecting more girls in his 'zoo'

I haven't read the novel but I believe this anime might be another Mushoku Tensei (minus ecchi?) which means it's going to be great or even peak.

But why is the novel rated 6? Did the story get worse down the line (please don't spoil)?

All aside, imagine watching a single episode and give it a score... I am telling you 8329 users.

@uyuryazar Well, if there's only one episode 1 released, it's obvious that the rating corresponds to that episode.
Come on, it's not that hard to understand 😣

Your logic simply doesn't make sense. Anime are released weekly so that the audience can enjoy them and so that interest continues throughout the season, so giving a rating is only to say how the anime is currently doing.
If you don't like it, the only solution is to tell the anime industry to start releasing complete anime series with all episodes available.

@Desmascarado Your logic doesn't make sense because some of these people will drop the series and will never update their scores.

If you take a look long running series like One Piece or Naruto Shippuuden, you will see there are positive and negative reviews that are made early as 2008-2012, some with 50 episodes in, some 100-200 episodes in, and if you check those, you will see most of them pretty much stopped watching after that. And they all have effect on the total score. There is your proof that giving it a early rating is NOT to say how the anime is currently doing because these people don't have any idea how it went after that. This isn't IMDB that you can score each episode seperately.

And it is naive you think these people will keep update their thoughts and scores after each episode to show how the anime is currently doing.

@Desmascarado Yours are factually wrong. In fact, you prove yourself wrong in the same sentence.

You drop an anime but give a good rating, how is that any "good"? Something can't be both "good" and "you didn't like it". That sounds absurd.

@uyuryazar Yes, I tend to be contradictory, which makes your tantrum after being refuted even more embarrassing.

@MemphisTango Idk it felt very force, also one of the biggest reason why I feel its gonna fell off is the side characters(those holy knights), they feel like an npc very one note and dumb. I know they have prejudice to the heroes, but not to the point they make very dumb remarks that it feels like to me a force conflict. But I’d be glad to be wrong, just setting up my expectations early on to not get disappointed.

Shield Hero is literally better than this.

you haven't read the light novel and you're glazing it from the first episode when you know nothing about it. man, people like you are the textbook definition of being oblivious. chill out, it's embarrassing.

@Angel_crush1 The knights are tertiary, not secondary, characters.

In case you haven't noticed, they are NPCs represented by Kivia.
The only knights who gained any prominence were that group from the beginning, and even they are tertiary characters. So your complaint is something like, "Wow, these extras are treated as extras by the narrative" ...?

@Desmascarado well good authors I have come a crossed don’t do that, especially in a fantasy world extra characters feeling like extra(also I’m tagging along kivia the knight leader with this complain) as you call it makes the world less captivating. At best I can see this show having a 6/10 story telling which is fine cause the animation is still pretty good.

Now that's not fair, it's not generic isekai harem. It's a harem where for some reason the author keeps making little kids flock to him.

uhhh, so in your words, Shield Hero fell off after Naofumi got his revenge? y'all are so funny, lmfao. Shield Hero was never a revenge fantasy/isekai anime. Naofumi's revenge was the main focus of season 1, not the whole story. jeez.
it's fine if you say you don't like the story after S1 anymore but saying "it fell off after Naofumi got his revenge" is dumb and invalid. the story expans beyond just that after S1...idk if this is rage bait but I'm gonna stop talking.

honestly, animation aside, which this anime takes over Shield Hero (as a fan of Shield Hero, I won't deny this), Shield Hero is still better than Sentenced to be a Hero imo (yes, I've read the LN of both).

@CalorieEnchilada Unfortunately for you, No.

Shield Hero didnt go down hill cos of the revenge, but the pacing got messed up so much, even the last season has some bad pacing.
It is really common due to how anime is not made by the same people.
Like one punch man had an insane first season, it was alot of people at the time anime that got them into anime, season 2 happend it was bad, awful pace and animation, we got season three which was so much worse.
It is a big issue with how anime is made.
Same thing happend with Mushoku Tensei.

Still saying opm season 2 was bad after you've seen/heard of season 3 is unbelievable. The animation of S2 was decent on average and very good when it mattered, the pace was ok. S3 was bad on average and ok-decent where it should've mattered and the pace was bad AND they didn't follow the manga.


Now, you cannot mention Mushoku in here, because it literally had an anime studio (Bind) made for it.
