Audience Reviews for The Rising of the Shield Hero: Season 2

• Nov 19, 2023 The books for this arc are not great in the first place, but the important part to it was how Naofumi handles not being with Raphtalia. This season skips key points of the story and just ignores or rewrites other parts. Terrible is an understatement...
• Oct 26, 2023 I don't know why this season got such low rating. The tortoise CGI was terrible but it's still a solid season. The rating should be like 7.5. Other than the tortoise CGI everything was great.
• Jun 02, 2023 Que segunda temporada tan mas decepcionante, el principio fue de los inicios de temporada tan mas malos y aburridos que he visto, en verdad no sentí que la serie llegara a algo, pero tras esa primera parte todo va mejorando bastante bien, no creo que es el mejor camino que pudo llevar la serie pero fue un camino que le da un giro de trama bastante divertido e interesante, creo que eso si la serie dio un bajón de calidad tremendo que fue bastante evidente, la animación no bajo pero la historia ni ella misma sabe a donde ir o a donde quisieran llegar, fue un mundo el cual no sabe que quiere hacer o como lo quiere hacer todavía no sabemos que fue lo que provoco todas las olas y no creo que sepamos en un buen rato ya que es el misterio principal de la serie, si vale la pena verla creo que solo un poco y solo la segunda parte, de ahí en adelante el primer capitulo solo es para que sepas que sucederá en la temporada, de ahí pasare hasta el 6 o 9 para seguir desde ahí, del capitulo 2 al 5 no vale mucho la pena desde mi parecer o me aburro muchísimo a mi. Una segunda temporada que no la recomiendo tanto pero que si ya viste la anterior también podrás ver está, no es nada buena hasta después de la primera parte y de ahí en adelante va mejorando de poco en poco.
• Oct 04, 2022 While it does suffer a rush trying to cram so much light novel content into a small number of episodes the show overall continues to be very enjoyable. That said it is easier to enjoy if one doesn't spend their time comparing it to source material.
• Aug 03, 2022 OK! the first season was chilling, I expected a continuation of quality in the second season, which did not happen, it was often boring and boring, even for that reason it took me a long time to finish watching the second season, it was a season full of cuts and summaries of the source material, which should revolt every Shield Hero fan. But we still learned to love this series, looking forward to the third season.
• Jul 27, 2022 This show disgusts me to no end. It is not a commentary on the sketchy topics it touches but instead a romanticization of them. Don't watch if you're not into kids!

Jun 13, 2022

I don't know what to think about secound season, I watched first arc till episode 7 and it just doesn't feel right: First one was just better and original, secound season is bland and animation is downgraded, characters feel bland and the main protagonist is hardly even in this season, I mean he is there and takes up screen space but he have no personality and is just boring, its far cry of who he was in season 1.

Is Rising of the Shield Hero worth watching?

Despite some bumps in the road along the way, The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 is proving to be the very improvement this anime needed to remind viewers why this isekai fantasy drew them in in the first place.

Is Shield Hero a good show?

Here is a personal opinion: I personally enjoyed The Rising of the Shield Hero, but I found that the second season was a bit weaker than the first. I would recommend watching at least the first season, but you can always stop if you are not enjoying it.

What makes The Rising of the Shield Hero so good?

The Rising of the Shield Hero flips the traditional isekai narrative on its head by turning the heroic fantasy into a nightmare. Most isekai give the protagonist a chance to escape their mundane lives into a fantasy world where they can be the hero who saves everyone.

Why Shield Hero season 2 failed?

The second season of this series was not a complete disaster, but it didn't hit like the first season and failed to stand out. The biggest issue with the second season was the pacing, which really squandered the world-building, character development, and plot development efforts.
