Damn that's a really crappy looking shield.

It was never particularly great. Just another isekai.

it came out before 2016 so people like it.

To be fair it's a "level 1" shield kind of thing.

So make it a buckler or round shield, but not a crappy looking beveled triangle with a gem in the middle.

It was shit from the start.

The gem is where the magic is stored, it's a shield that evolves along side the user.

Is this a one piece spin-off?

Motherfucker, no not disrespect the kite shield.

In what fucking world does a footsoldier wear a gimped kite shield?
Learn what a kite shield is before you pretend to know what you're talking about.

Since we're here, has anyone read Volume 9 already?

I just want a full 25 episodes season.
Manga already cut LN in half (or even more), if anime cut manga in half, as it usually does, then there is no point to even watch this.

Yeah i hope they also do a 20+ episode count, Trying to cram 4 volumes in 12 or so episodes would make everything feel rushed as fuck.

Do you patrol Sup Forums every hour to find out if there's a shield hero thread?
Just, wow dude.

>12 episodes
Where will season 1 end?

Not really, i just found this one by coincidence. I post at Sup Forums without trips too you know?

Hopefully at the zombie dragon aftermath if they pace it well.

Based Shieldbro

Will rise of the lolicon spear-bro get an adaptation too?

Spear liking anything but his feathered goddess of flatness?

I doubt it, it has a lot of elements that you need to know from the main novels in order to understand what's happening.
And he's not a lolicon, He sees most women, even girls as pigs. Only firo and people related to her and naofumi somehow are exempt from this.

That happens in volume 3 and onwards.

Why did it have to go the retarded "let's make own village!" route?

No i fucked up, Volume 11. Waay past the point the anime is going to adapt.

Spear hero chapter 4 is up at comic walker

An isekai, idiot.

For anyone wanting to buy the manga, don't. It's terribly translated.

I only bought vol 5 because it had two extra chapters in text format, with an illustration for each.

>people think shields are shit and literally everyone looks down on them
I could never get into the series based on that stupidity alone.
I can't buy that not one of those gamer nerds that got isekai'd in can appreciate shield classes either when they're so prevalent.

It's not that they look down on them just because, remember that in that country you can scarcely find shields for sale due to the social and religious stigma they have, and everyone knows the shield hero barely has any offense capabilities.
Besides in the worlds the heroes come from they say shielder classes arent that great due to various factors, including late-game enemies having attacks that can overwhelm high defenses.

It goes to shit after the 2nd wave, though it had already lost some steam.

>muh super serious revenge fantasy
No, it went to shit in the 4th chapter or so.

You'd be surprised how powerful a grip a gaming meta has on communities. It takes new players and people excluded from the norm to discover new shit and they are far more rare than you'd ever suspect. I'd know I was pushing new metas all the time in my day

The meta didn't matter much in the games the heroes played sin. Ren was a solo player in the VRMMO he used to play, Itsuki played an obscure and advanced enough MMO-like console game, and motoyasu was too busy playing the harem game to care.
The only person who had any semblance of knowing what they were doing was naofumi, and that's only because he used to be the guildmaster of the 3rd most powerful guild in an MMO he used to play. That said, he also understood how weak defensive classes were too.

But guild masters are the most strict when it comes to enforcing the local meta, and that's only because they have to deal with hot garbage DPS all day.

Yeah sadly, guess why he wasn't thrilled with being stuck with the shield in the first place. Though he was more the guild's banker than guildmaster, he had a lot of rare loot back then and was always looking for things to sell

what do you guys think about this guy, having done all the bad shit he did.

Stories about the mc in a nother world, specially one with a realistic fucked up society are awesome.

Which world, the one he was summoned to or the other one he crosses to retrieve something important.

...

who is she?

why can't we just get a failer hero who will fail and never win ever thats all I ask.

You mean he. He's the main antagonist for volumes 7 and 9, he's the holder of the book of the vassal weapons and the guy who jacks the spirit turle in volume 7 and harvests it's energy after it dies to do some a lot of experiments and weapons in volume 9. It took all of naofumi, firo, rishia and raphtalia to kill him. So much that everyone but rishia ended up cursed afterwards.

sell me on this manga Sup Forums
what sets it apart from other isekai series? and how good are the girls?

False Rape Accusations Revenge Fantasy.

What was there some change? I thought MC was some Uni student and have little experience in MMO hence why he was more opened mind about the world.

Then again I drop at the end of turtle arc of the WN.

Since it became “everyone is any idiot but me”

If i had to say, it's the struggle the main character has to deal with since the time of his summoning.
Robbed of all he had and with his reputation dragged through the mud, striving to survive in a place that hates him. Eventually he's able to get back on his feet with the help of the friends slaves he's able to make along the way and clear his name. It all depends on what you're expecting though.

Yes he's an university student but that doesn't mean he's behind on the otaku business. All of the heroes are otaku in some way. He only realized sooner that it's not a game because he got betrayed. Then again, he would have realized it sooner than his fellow heroes.

Nosedives after he minces the pope and it goes off the rails. Raphtalia should've stayed a child soldier, Firo should've stayed a bird and Melty should've been closer to her sister's age to further play up Naofumi's natural distrust of her.

Do we have any information of when it comes out? Any speculation?

I mean theres various reasons as to why naofumi realized sooner that they didnt get summoned to "play" hero. Theres the fact that he didn't play a game with a similar setting to the world they're in that the other heores played. This is what made the other heores believe it was all a game, then there was the betrayal and then the first wave he participated in, the destruction and death left by the wave made him realize that this aint a game and he could die if he wasnt careful.

It turns to shit after the queen shows up

All we know is that it's coming somewhere in 2018, winter is out of the question. it wasn't listed. Only death march and Overlord S2

Haven't read it (and maybe never will), but I find it stupid that they claimed that the shild is shit in offensive
after all, you can still punch with that

You still can't dual wield shield.

I mean, sure you can punch shit but any damage you do will amount to 0 when you count the enemy's defense. What the people in that country forgot is that the shield hero is supposed to have companions doing the attacking for him while he supports them. Instead they all mock him for having minimal offensive capability, outside of counterattacking (which they also forgot the shield hero can do).
This is also a stigma for the hunting hero who excels in killing monsters and such but can't do any damage to humans and the like. This is what got her banished to that extra-dimensional labrynth for years until Naofumi got trapped in the same place and escaped.

It turns to shit after it stop being edgy.

yeah, but getting a shield bashed into your face still gonna hurt
and as if a hunter can't kill humans
(but yeah, that series is placed in a world which runs by videogamelogic, again)

Unless the shield itself has some skill that does damage on contact it'll only feel very awful but it wont really do anything besides that. No hp deductions or anything.

cause that world runs by videogamelogic...
but it still hurts so...

That is a terrible ending spot, I bet it will be after pope beatdown. The end would be a great ending for the series or a season 1 and it would make people want to go out and find out what happens. Plus episode 13 would be the queen verbally raping bitch and trash.

Dunno, i think cramming 4 volumes worth of content into 12-13 episodes would make things feel rushed as fuck.

by the way, can anyone make a "write your own anime/manga"-thread
I guess I came up with an idea

Looking back on the isekais I've read over the years, I'll always appreciate Shield Hero for having a downtrodden MC that did not ultimately devolve to edgy revenge porn against everything. He was only edgy against the people who screw him over and for actual plot related reasons and then managed to stay an actual hero.

Lot of other revenge isekais that revolve around hate spirals and MCs that can't get over anything. While it's a bit gratifying the first time you read that type of story, they're incredibly one-note and predictable every time there after. Some of them just seem to be an exercise on the author's part on the edgiest possible things they can write.

Still I think having the other heroes also be RPG gamers of some kinda made the story harder to believe just because I have a difficult time believing that any gamer will be soo stubborn and closed as the other 3 heroes ( VN players I get )

>Too bad it gets shit after the first volume...
I want edgefags to fuck off and read Arifureta or Dungeon Seeker instead

That is a problem I understand. The three other heroes simultaneously thinking the tank type sucks is also incredulous due to that. Like I can see Itsuki believing he could win since spears have piercing as a thematic purpose and the fact he was probably more of a Casanova rather than a hardcore gamer, but the other 2 don't really have excuses. It may have been alternate worlds, but people have tried to move away from tank and spank in this one and it hasn't worked out well.

Side characters all being written a bit more flawed and stupid than they should be is always a recurring problem in fiction thinking about it. You can really tell the author had a specific niche/problem with each one set out at the beginning and only realized he probably should've considered it more when his story started becoming huge.

>itsuki
>cassanova
You mean motoyasu.
Itsuki has a hero complex from when he still was in his world. Becoming a "real" hero, doing a lot of "heroic" stuff and having a bunch of meatshields that continuously fellate him and his deeds to feed his ego doesn't help either.
I also wonder about ren. He's the youngest of the bunch though, but not by much. for all intents and purposes he would seem normal compared to the other two, yet he insists to keep this solo mentality that has got him in trouble. And his companions killed too.

I think what was worst was the resort part where they were to closed minded that didn’t believe shield that a mix of leveling method was possible, what kinda of shit gamer must you be to not even try that shit since this point shield has proven himself to be quite powerful.

I think my issue is how the present the heroes like the first few quest and the turtle, we are shown the fallout of the heroes action, but really without hindsight there was no way those heroes would have predicted the result of their action. With the turtle seal, it was quite literally the universe fucking with them... here is a setting and event you are fimilar with, and you know doing X is good... NOT

Ah, got their names mixed up. I remember Itsuki's bow faux-heroism. He's kind of unfortunate thinking about it. Having his one-note problem, he eventually gets brainwashed then turned into a mindbroken shell of his former self. Rather than being an actual character, he's more of a plot element to whatshername's story. The one who made surprised noises a lot.

On the topic of Ren, I think he was literally just a stab at Kirito from SAO. Solo players don't actually get very far despite their insistence at staying solo. It felt like the author didn't even bother trying to flesh him out throughout the entire story.

Even going as far as accusing him of cheating, and when they all spilled the beans about everything, the only thing holding them back to grow stronger was not believing in each other. even naofumi admits he was hesitant to believe them in the first place.
At least in the LN their overall stupidity was lessened in the spirit turtle thing since they weren't the ones to unseal it. That said they would have probably unsealed it like in the WN it it wasn't already controlled by someone else.

He gets his moment in Vol 17, when naofumi takes rishia and itsuki to Glass's world to solve her problem of heroes mysteriously dying.

I've only ever read the WN version. How different is the LN so far anyways? All I know is it has more arcs and more to do with those other world heroes like Glass.

Also is there any time and dimension fuckery that connects it to the WN or is it still wholly its own continuity as of now?

Extra arcs, extra characters, pace is mostly fixed and much more. No new seven sins arc though, so far. Most of the stuff there is spread throughout the story, Like raphchan who appears in volume 8 of the light novel. There's no time and dimension fuckery that ties the LN with the WN though. I suggest you start with the manga if you don't want to wait to see the differences.

Hijacking for underappreciated isekai with dragon and spider waifus

Sure why not.

>Get a loli
>LEL UR LOLI GREW OVERNIGHT SO NOW U CAN FUG HER XDDD

Dropped it like it is hot

>Generic looking ass flash chest x cow tits combo


Dont even need to read it but i am pretty sure that both of them either lust after MC's cock for no reason at all and MC has outrageous level / CHEAT SKILLXDDD

The spider wants his blood if i remember right.

Well look it DOES sound unrealistic that over the course of two weeks a child can grow into an adult. However this is fiction. A worse offender would be how a chick grew into an adult form over the course of TWO DAYS and then became a little girl under a week.

Tanuki is cute.

Birdbrains is annoying.

Good night thread, hopefully you'll still be up.
