Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

Great anime! It is meant to resonate with people. The story is simple - the hero is looking into your eyes, your heart and soul. What you see on the screen reflects exactly what any of us goes through in our lives. There's betrayal, there's love, there's hate, there are friends and enemies. And it's not easy to make it through life. It's a journey and it's a struggle. There will be losses and there will be rewards. It is like looking at your own life through this anime. In that way this is a very unique anime. It tries to inspire you to continueliving, fighting and not giving up.

It's a great anime for anyone going through hard times, which is probably everyone.
The art is great. Not over the top. Just right.
The plot is not complex but feels very deep on the most fundamental levels.
The characters are great too. Even the most minor characters feel they belong right where they are and contribute their share to the story.
This anime doesn't try to be better than other anime, it tries to make you feel better and give you hope, which is very rare for anime, since most shows are very self centered trying to impress the viewer with plot complexity, over-dramatization and other flashy tricks.

After watching this show I feel like Shield Hero is me.
And it's a good feeling. It's a real feeling.
If you didn't feel like Shield Hero after watching this.. well may be it's not your time yet. May be watch it when the time is right.. whenever it may be.
