Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

Started off with so much potential, but was sadly wasted with poor execution. Story 6/10 It was actually pretty damn good at the beginning,but it started dipping from a certain point. Half way through, it felt like there was a totally different atmosphere, and the emotions it managed to stir up wasn't there anymore. Things just got repetitive, and it got to the point where I wasn't even excited for the new episode to come out. Art 8/10 Decent, although not a fan of those CGI monsters running around. Sound 7/10 None of the OST is particularly memorable, but the OPs and EDs were always good though.Characters 4/10
Overly rushed development for Naofumi's character and relationship with Raphtalia at the start, leaving the rest of the show devoid of any sort of deep development they could've had. Everyone else, other than Naofumi's crew + Queen, is just straight up annoying af. I know it's the anime's intention to make them like that, but its really exhausting just looking at them and hearing their voices.

Enjoyment 6/10
I'd recommend starting this and see how it goes, but I won't promise you'll enjoy it from start to finish. If I wasn't watching this when it was airing, there's a chance I would've dropped or take a long brake from it.
