Tate no Yuusha/Shield Hero Season 1- Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating
This thread is to be used for discussing the entire episodes of Tate no Yuusha/Shield Hero ... your thoughts about the show, overall impressions, expectations and hopes about Blu-Ray/DVD-exclusive footage etc.
A few subjects you might want to ramble on about:
And so on. The poll represents your total series rating. In other words, how you would rate all the episodes combined (1-10)? If you'd rather rate the whole series by technical/artistic merits, you can do so. An example: Animation Quality: 1-10 Voice Actors: 1-10 Script: 1-10 Soundtrack: 1-10 Editing: 1-10 Enjoyment: 1-10 Emotional Involvement: 1-10 Average = Total Series Rating Or a combination of the two. Or your general gut feeling. Feel free to discuss and more importantly, have fun |

Overall this was a really fun series, with pretty solid worldbuilding and great characters. It did have some downfalls (the much lambasted pope fight and how stupid the other three heroes were at times), but Naofumi had a good arc as the main protagonist, as did Raphatalia. Filo and Melty were more along the ride for emotional support and comic relief, but I am quite happy how they turned out as well.
The writers stuck the landing as well, which along with the good animation quality throughout and the excellent score gives this a 9/10 out of me (probably rather a 8.5/10, but the rating system here doesn't allow such nuance). I have hopes for a second season, since I've heard that the light novel has already produced so many volumes that we could feasibly get two or three more full old-school 25 episode seasons out of this. Fingers crossed!

Up until the last episode, I would have gladly rated the anime a 9. For the most part aside from Naofumi's cynical tendencies, the anime was mostly faithful.
Against better judgment, I'm going to hold an overall rating until I hear word of a second season or not. One does not simply skip 4 volumes of material, including the most impactful arc of the series. That honestly pissed me off more than the Pope fight being a little subpar. Basically my thinking is this. Second season confirmed = 7/10 No second season = 5/10. That's how incredibly stupid the decision to write the last episode as it was felt to me.

I think people are getting way too bent out of shape of the supposed "skipping" of four volumes worth of material. One single plot point was reshuffled in the timeline to provide a more definitive stopping point.
IF a second season happens and the "skipped" material actually is ignored then I would agree with the criticism, but until that actually happens I'd call this overreacting.

Agreed. Plenty of series move specific plot points around, and lots of them just pull certain parts forward or push them backward, but still include pretty much everything. Especially at the end of a season. I remember in March Comes In Like a Lion's first season the last episode was from a chapter far later in the story, and it was understandable since it made a more satisfying conclusion. And Lion is a series that never deviated from the original content, not even one line except to add a little bit of elaboration here and there. Only other change I recall was at the end of the second season where they cut out a brief conversation concerning the relationship between the two lead characters, again understandable since this would raise questions that were key to the next arc. If the animators and producers felt that pulling these points forward would create a more satisfying conclusion or that it was preferable to a path that would leave more than a cliffhanger then so be it.

If they had 4 volumes worth of materials that could be skipped and not missed, it'd be a problem for entirely different reasons. But if they skipped the current arc in the manga, which is kind of important for a number of reasons, then that's not really something that can be let go.
