What made Shield Hero appealing is the struggle, the regular good guy side of Naofumi struggling with his inner demons, brought to the fore by the powers that be and their persecution of him. The magic is boring as shit and is terribly named even by light novel standards so that can’t be used for anything either. The world of Shield Hero is not even remotely interesting, the cities, people and monsters are generic and what mysteries there are behind the plot to captivate us take so long to get anywhere that’s it easy to lose interest. The goodwill earned by the early portion of the story has kept me and others around to see where the story goes but I think the author made a giant fucking mistake in having the tables be turned so quickly. Thank fuck the manga at least made Naofumi so bitter and resentful early on that even when the story calms down he can get darker than does now in the anime. What started out as the harsh, abrasive story of a man struggling against the world he’s been forced to protect eventually gets really close to a typical light novel hero story about an OP guy. In addition, Myne and the King are no longer even vaguely threatening as villains, many of the local people adore Naofumi thanks to his work and to top it all off this gap between Naofumi and the other Heroes will only get wider. Even Raphtalia and Firo are portrayed as far more competent. By this point Naofumi isn’t just stronger than the other Heroes, he makes them look like total chumps. There’s just one problem, this part of the story is basically over by the end of the second wave and it will be completely over by the end of the next arc, as the remnants of the forces which have persecuted Naofumi from day 1 struggle desperately against his growing fame.īy the end of the second waves though, Shield Hero takes an important, and ultimately detrimental turn, it makes everyone else look like a joke. So far so good, the story checks out, it hits all the right notes. It was a bitter, resentful and angry tale about a man who has been screwed and isolated by the world he needs to protect – but it’s in this very crucible from which his strength is forged. His story was not a glorious one, told from the perspective of a typical hero. He wasn’t the OP swordsman, winning the hearts of girls everywhere with his gamer skills or otaku knowledge – instead he’s so ostracized and so limited by his own power that he’s forced to buy a slave to fight for him. The thing which drew me to Shield Hero in the first place was that the story went out of it’s way to make Naofumi a pariah. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS, you’ve been warned.

And while this is true even the manga has a serious flaw – it blows it’s load way too early. In prior posts about the show my main complaint is that the anime deliberately tones down some of the darker aspects of the story which made the manga so appealing. Shield Hero is one of the most frustrating stories I’ve ever come across and that’s not just true of the anime.
