Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

In short, One of my all-time favourite isekai. There are some shows, which upon watching only the first few minutes of the first episode can give us the impression that "yes, this would be one of my favourites". The shield hero was such a show for me. From the start till finish this show managed to push all the right buttons that captivates me; a strong yet non-gullible MC, a caring and strong female MC and good supporting characters, excellent art, fantastic isekai storyline and apt pacing. The story of a hero using one of the weapon which was considered weak or an accessory, and managing toface the odds which even the heroes with the conventional OP weapons couldn't handle, in a more realistic pacing got me hooked to this show.

Have rewatched this more than 5 times in the past few years. And will do so before the latest season 3 airs.

PS: skip season 2
