anime

this series is apparently an adaptation of a web novel but the web novel author quit and now its manga original

mangadex comments claim the original author is an advisor for the new stuff

I think the Shield Hero author just really loves writing "twists"

you get the dragon surprise being the beast girl's dad then you get the surprise of him not actually being the dad

two huge twists in a row

nyaa is back up by the way

@Phijkchu_Pikachu they did a bunch of side quests instead of preparing for the Phoenix or even trying to find Bow hero, but because this is a stupid video game menu isekai the side quests inexplicably cure the curse status on a random party member

wouldn't it be funny if an established character died in one of these pointless side quests

Yeah, fuck shield hero

i don't like chant magic as a concept and they really make it awful here

did you make this

this is a funny edit

No

its so cool how the bow hero can just walk out of the cage he was lured into and locked in

did the author forget wat was going on mid-scene?

we can't be distracted from the Phoenix even though that's what the entire season was, so we need to start a war real quick

its almost two full LN volumes until the Phoenix shows up

holy fuck they are never getting to it

I was right about the last episode introducing a full seasons worth of material as a distraction

a volume of this stupid pointless war then a volume of actual prep and the fight

I sure am glad that this show makes money somehow which means it will keep getting adapted

Kinema citrus is a good studio too, so I'd be curious to see what else they make if they were not held down by this

then you get 3 volumes in glass world

WHEN WILL THEY EVER DEAL WITH THE WAVES

lmfao

"After his cooking battle escalated to open warfare, the Shield Hero Naofumi has finally obtained the truth about the Vanguards of the Waves. "

volume 19 synopsis

the waves still happen but when its convenient to the cast

Now that all of my sequel shows are done, this has been a very mid season for sequel shows

shadow was good and girlfriend, girlfriend was fantastic

but goblin slayer and spy x family were dissapointing, shield hero almost pulled off an okay but stupid season but fucked it at the finish line

train lolis could be a 10/10, but only 2 episodes are fansubbed

Goblin slayer genuinely was a 3 for me this season

It didn't make me that mad, but I can understand that

It is one of the worst drops from a genunienly 10/10 shows I have seen

S1 wasn't flawless, but it was as good of an adaptation I could have expected

CG aside, the pacing was great

Biggest complaint I usually see for S1 is the CGI for goblin slayer, which is whatever since it was not even that bad compared to CGI I have seen

well, the biggest complaint I usually see is the rape in E1, but those are people who got filtered out of the show

And some of the visuals not looking as cool in anime as in the manga is another one I sometimes see

but visuals are so low down on my tierlist of criteria for liking something, so none of that matters from me

but S2 had bad visual choices, on top of pacing issues and character issues

There is genuinely nothing I like about S2, other than the scenes with the full harem together

Because most of the girls are the comic relief

So they play well off each other

I liked the 3 dudes at the bar episode

Oh, that one was weird

I think S2 hits me harder because goblin slayer is one of the shows I have watched through a dozen+ times

so I am very familiar with S1

you thought spy family season was disappointing?

Yes, compared to S1

to me it was just the same as s1

The best characters in terms of following in order are anya > loid > the dog > yor

huh

i liked the yor stuff a lot imo

I am less critical of it than some people here, but I only liked that arc in a "this is kind of mindless violence fight scenes" kinda way

I liked the two loid + dog episodes this season, I think thats a good pairing

But in general, the show is at its best when Anya is around the other characters

My gfs sister and I tried to get her to watch it but she found Anya annoying, I was very sad

She doesn’t like anime though so it is what it is

Make her watch goblin slayer

lol

make her watch onimai

She actually might like goblin slayer at first

big rape fan?

She likes AoT because the titans faces are funny to her

So she might think the goblins are funny

I never actually watched the show I just heard the first ep is wild and the rest is just goblin slayer killing goblins

>shirou pfp with the worst takes possible

Every fucking time

I like insane mal reviewers

Uh... I think he's like 13

That's my conclusion
