Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3
Honestly, it was painful to watch until the end, even though there is a dubbed version in my native language, which helps a lot. I didn't like it, and if there is anything to praise, it is that the animation is not bad, but it is also nothing special. It is terrible in all other aspects for a good animation with such a proposal; both the story, development, speed, dramatization, fights, motivations, all of this has been losing ground since the first season and finally in this season I no longer want to see the next season. Is the story unique? No. Predictable in the good thingsand unpredictable in the bad, so it only got right on what we see in every generic adventure anime right. The characters don't even have a defined personality, and in one episode they can be very intelligent and brave and in the next stupid and cowardly.
Did the characters react to the situations and events in a realistic way?
Not at all, especially considering its instability, especially when it comes to the heroes of the story themselves. There's so much drama for a simple and boring solution that it makes them seem so stupid that it's no longer possible to relate emotionally, whether through empathy or mirroring.
Do you think others will like it, even if you didn't like it?
For someone to like this series, they must have been into it from the beginning, used the characters' names as nicknames in games, made fan drawings of them, bought action figures, posters, manga collections, etc. Only with an emotional and ego attachment would you not feel like an idiot for having spent time, money and feelings on this franchise to actually say that you liked it.
