Well, well, well, this plan seems to be going well so far and as a result Naofumi is making BANK from what it seems.
I wonder what the paper currency is and how it relates to Silvers, Golds, Coppers, etc. Or is it a different currency for Zeltoble specifically (that’s probably it). For those who look at anime news on Crunchyroll, you already knew of Nadia’s existence. I didn’t know that she was a demi human and that she is from the same village as Raphtalia and that her real name is Sadeena. Interesting stuff. I applaud her for immediately throwing the match to help Naofumi’s cause and I wonder how she found out about Naofumi’s goals ahead of time.
Either way, who is this dark clown and who are Fohl and Atla? It seems that something ominous is coming Naofumi’s way and he needs to prepare for it…
Raphtalia and Sadina already knowing each other feels a bit contrived but I guess there was no other way for Naofumi and pals to get out of this mess without making Sadina a straight-up villainess or even a sympathetic antagonist.
Anyway, this show is playing its cards right with its back-to-basics approach. It's only been two episodes but I've been having more fun with this season than I had with season 2. It's too soon to tell whether Rising of the Shield Hero has truly climbed out of the pit left by season 2 but for, now, I remain cautiously optimistic.
Seeing dat killer whale transformation made me lol, and here I thought naofomi would finally be getting some pus e. Great to have a gal like her on board if she joins da team.
Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.
I feel like the fight was fine and all and the animation definitely went crazy but I'd have preferred it had better choreography and direction so as to make things clear and a lot more smoother. Hopefully this was a one time thing and does become recurring.
Pure fire. I'm surprised, I thought this show was long gone? People talked about this season like it was awful. We'll see I guess but great start so far.
Wonder who the harlequin girl (?) is. Looks like the demi-human kid is using the medicine from his match throwing earnings for his sister as well. Hopefully he's earning enough for his jobbing.
Just a note: Sadeena seriously didn't get enough background story but she's definitely portrayed as a lovely young woman... But a drunkard.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
