Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

This is only the second review I have written on MAL, but I'm gonna try and keep it as short and sweet as possible. I feel like a lot of reviews go into way too much detail, and leave very little room for you to experience the show for yourself. The Rising of the Shield Hero is pretty good I don't think it's an amazing show, but definitely worth watching if you are into the Isekai genre. If you like shows such as SAO, Log Horizon, and Re:Zero then Shield Hero is gonna be right up your alley. If you aren't a fan of those showsthat I mentioned then you probably aren't gonna get much out of Shield Hero since it shares a lot of the same themes. My biggest problem with Shield Hero is that it tends to get a bit too haremy for my taste, but I'm sure that most people would be able to overlook that since it is pretty common in these types of shows. I also find the 3 other heroes besides Naofumi (the MC) to be complete morons. They tend to just do whatever they are told even if it makes absolutely no sense. Most of the the decisions they make just seem completely stupid, and none of them seem to have any common sense. They are insanely gullible characters, and it definitely got on my nerves. Other than that, the show is enjoyable and has a great mix of action/adventure and a bit of romance sprinkled in. I wish the relationship between Raphtalia (raccoon girl) and Naofumi became a bit more fleshed out, but I'm hoping that will progress more in the second season. Overall, I definitely recommend it. It's a solid show, and a welcomed addition to the Isekai genre.
