Review of The Rising of the Shield Hero

As much hate as this anime gets, honestly I loved season 1. Is it cliché and kind of stupid? 100%, is it something that I absolutely enjoyed watching (almost) every episode of? 100%. The story is pretty predictable but I don't think that's a bad thing. The character development for most of the characters is mostly pretty good, there are things here and there that aren't perfect and could have been written better, but I think that overall it was written to be kind of purposefully stupid, in a good, laugh at yourself for laughing kind of way. I'm no anime critic, I'm just anormal, average anime watcher so I don't have the skills for the detailed nuance critiques. Overall 9/10 season, it was something I looked forward to watching every next episode (past episode 2), so it gets the star of approval in my mind.
