Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

Shield Hero is a fun show. It certainly falls into many bad troupes and some very disturbing ones but it does do some stuff very right. The politics / real-life consequences of actions done in these other worlds was a welcome breath of air but the loli collecting was very disappointing. The show was falling into a very repetitive pit with it's set up of the MC, who for some unexplained reason is smarter than every other Hero summoned. However, the satisfaction of the underdog winning was done perfectly so that most people would enjoy it. The characters are a mess. While development does exist, itis very limited and the others return to the same mess as always. The arrogance of the MC turns from justified to just snobby very quick so I look forward to seeing how they fix this in the future because as it is - the supporting cast are nothing more than generic frames and urgent depth is needed to make us feel anything regarding them.

Also, ADD a dude to the party for fks sake! Stop it with the loli collecting!!
