Hell yes, does the wedding come with a slave seal? Asking for a friend.

Why DID he put a slave crest on the chicken?

I do agree that it's unfair how some people here use moments/pages from the light/web novel and manga to prove how bad this anime is. For example, the anime omits Shield Hero's internal monologue when he buys his first slave. Also I very much doubt the anime has the same faith in store for the evil princess. For all the problems it has. The anime does in fact sand off some of the sharper edges.

BUT!

That's just taking the kernels out the turd really. There are still many underlying tones and messages that are just loving awful. You really don't have to rely on web/light novel material to show how awful Shield Hero is. The anime is perfectly capable of making GBS threads the bed on it's own merits Like slave girl asking why Spear Hero doesn't own a slave if he's such a good guy. Or the evil slave trader who keeps children in cages, becoming a supporting story character. Or having the child of a mind in the body of an adult so we feel less guilty about oogling her in the hot springs?

Shield Hero is trash, and that is coming from someone who actually leans more towards the right on a lot of things. So I don't buy the idea that disliking Shield Hero is reserved for leftist circlejerk zones.

You mean like this one?

quote:

I caught the eye of the raccoon-girl. And I realized, looking into her eyes, how I felt. Yes. This thing was a woman, the same gender as that one that betrayed me. I looked into her scared eyes and immediately thought that I wanted to control her. I thought I could just pretend that I’d turned Myne into a slave… If she died, it might make me feel better. “All right then, I’ll take the middle one.” “An excellent choice, and it makes my life easier too.” The slave trader produced a key and opened her cage. She stepped out, and he put a collar around her neck. She let out a yelp. I looked at her, quivering in fear, and felt a wave of satisfaction wash over me. I imagined that other woman quivering in fear, just like this, and it made me feel great.

It's a world that works on video game rules. The other three heroes were experts at games that were very similar to this world, and were summoned through those games. The Shield Hero was summoned through a book he didn't even read, he just flipped through it looking at the pictures.

its the kind of fantasy world that runs on video game rules, but not in a way where they're using that for comedy or dramatic purposes, but because the writer cant imagine a fantasy setting that doesnt run on video game rules

Anime Changes Report: Viable Romantic Partners Edition

We got a hot springs episode, it was really awful. Raphtalia and Kick Fighting Chicken spent half the episode pursuing their romantic interest in Naofumi. This storyline left out the best part of the hot springs bit in the light novel, where Raphtalia abandons all subtlety and just drops her towel in front of Naofumi. Naofumi just mumbles something about her scars looking better and nothing happens. It's clear from his internal monologue that he doesn't even think that anyone could be interested in him, and doesn't want to pursue any romance with anyone.

The anime completely made up the second half of that episode. They want to play up the romance between Naofumi and his slaves, it's the biggest change they've made so far.

Probably should have put the summoning page near the end of the book instead of it being the first page.

Now I have no doubt in my mind that you actually like Shield Hero.

I like the parts of Shield Hero where Naofumi is a dysfunctional rear end in a top hat and the plot is extremely stupid. There's a lot to like.
