Naofumi is just a regular guy. One day, while reading this weird book in the library he gets transported to an alternate world. He is one of the four cardinal heroes: The Shield Hero. Along with the Sword, Spear and Bow heroes he has to fight the Waves Of Catastrophe. Evil creatures that appear at fixed intervals and kill everything in sight. But that’s not the worst part. One day into this adventure and he’s accused of raping the princess, thrown out of the castle and left to fend for himself. What’s even worse is that he cannot fight. The cardinal heroes can only use their legendary weapon, and his is a shield. A very powerful shield, but a still a shield. So what’s an angry hero left to do then buy a slave girl and plot revenge?
Ah, Shield Hero. The anime that got tumblrinas panties/briefs in a bunch. See, this show got more flack that Goblin Slayer. While GS was accused of using rape as a shock factor, this promoting rape (somehow), Shield Hero is far worse because it’s about a hero who was falsely accused of rape, denied any chance of defending himself all because of an evil woman. And since this never happens in real life (lol), the show is a misogynistic piece of garbage.
As for the show… I loved it. Fair warning: if you’re looking for a complete emo-hero this is the wrong show for you. Naofumi does start off angry at the world but he mellows out real quick once he buys Raphtalia. Even more so when he gets Firo. The show is pretty well animated and I really enjoyed the battles. Be warned, the other three heroes are complete imbeciles for most of the show (they’re only competent in the OP) , and Malty is the biggest bitch anime has seen in a LONG time.

9/10 for this garbage?
Duh, Romanians.

First time I’ve seen Filo, the Filolial, referred as Firo, lol.

Oops, that was a legitimate mistake. Though, to be fair, it IS フィーロ.

Thanks!!

As for my rating of 9/10, that is very easily explained: I liked it. Don’t really see how me being Romanian has anything to do with it though. There weren’t any vampires in it.

Thank you! Does anyone know if the BD improved the TV version in terms of quality? I normally search comparison pics but I can’t find any.
LightArrowsEXE
@viccior I can make a couple of comparisons whenever we finally get around to releasing it under Kaleido.
Kamiyan93
nice meme

@LightArrowsEXE Thank you! I usually watch the BD version of any anime I’m interested in, but if there’s a good fansubbing group in my native language (Spanish) sometimes I make exceptions, that’s why I’m interested in how these BDs compare to the TV version ;)
LightArrowsEXE
@Kamiyan93 Yaiba’s getting released within reasonable (cough cough) times, r-right? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
boneknocker
wait ? really ?

@LightArrowsEXE it would be faster to invent interstellar travel and visit a worldline where KAA still exists and grab their release for Shield Hero (they would prob do it)
SomaHeir
Thanks for this!

Ok I love you for releasing so many shows this fast. Where do you live so i can get you a few beers! Maybe we are close. Mures county btw.
DmonHiro (uploader)
I’m in good old, it’s-so-fucking-hot-and-humid Bucuresti. The reason I’m so “fast” is because BDs are released at the same time in Japan so final volumes tend to overlap for many shows. Add to that the fact that I actually work on shows one volume at a time and it makes sense that I seem to work really fast.
PS: I’ve got a few more goodies in the bag. One older show and one REALLY older show.

Mux the subtitles in, add the fonts (and mux them in too), use non-retarded filenames.
DmonHiro (uploader)
No, already doing that and no. Thanks for your input.
xxcx
Well thats too bad, I wont be going there for a quite some time. Its also flipping steaming here. Well aaaanywaay ty for the good work again and keep 'em coming.
kamineko
And keep doing your own descriptions, please. Tend to rely on your summaries more than on the crap from ANN or MAL. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed here…
DmonHiro (uploader)
Honestly, making up the description is a lot of fun. I don’t know why more people don’t do that.
Hentaineko
actually I have already watched this series twice but thanks I will take it. Thank you
DrWolfnstine13
Again DH is first with yet another of the BD I have been hoping to see pop up. Thanks DmonHiro.
Skullcrane886
Thank you for the release, honestly I didn’t knew all the BDs were released already.
Do you know of any website where you can find the release schedules for other shows?
Exiled
Your descriptions are great. I waited until this finished airing. Then thought I waited this long whats a few more weeks. My kid has been asking every week " When we gonna watch Shield Hero Dad?" And now the little bugger is out of town with friends. I guess I’ll start with the 90’s old-school harem comedy. Plenty of boobs, wacky adventures and lewd situations.
DmonHiro (uploader)
On AniDB there’s a guy who posts release dates for the BDs in the comments.

DmonHiro… Our Shield Hiro Rise Again! ^^
Thank you ~

Please at least check for typos.

Gotta say I really liked this one, I think 9/10 is a pretty accurate rating for me too.
@Kamiyan93 Shield Hero had a solid plot, likable characters and was very enjoyable to watch, though I know that is subjective as hell. Maybe not a masterpiece and perhaps just not your cup of tea but certainly not garbage. If you want to see what garbage looks like just go watch “Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria”, or “Another world with my cell phone”, THAT was garbage.
DrWolfnstine13
Btw DmonHiro will you be doing “That time I got reincarnated as a slime”?
DmonHiro (uploader)
Yes. Of course I will. If it’s Isekai, I’m probably doing it.
DrWolfnstine13
Sweet. It is Isekai, a solid 24 episodes too.
DmonHiro (uploader)
I know. I’ve watched it. Loved it. My only complaint was the lack of fanservice for an insekai. But then OVA2 delivered. They knew as well.
man00ver
Thanks! I’ve been looking for an excuse to watch these again; this is it. By the time Kaleido gets their version out, I’m sure I’ll be ready all over again. :)

MELTY’s the biggest bitch?? i think you ment her sister “Malty”…
DmonHiro (uploader)
My mistake. Corrected. Melty’s adorable. Malty’s a total bitch.
NetGhost
I thought her name is “Myne” Well actually your both wrong because her name was changed to “Bitch” and her adventure name to “Slut” by the queen on suggestion from the Shield Hero.
I couldn’t stop laughing at her little trial. She just wouldn’t fess up to anything. And the idiot she genuinely was in love with the Spear Hero despite the facts screaming in agony. He wouldn’t acknowledge them as the truth
There hasn’t been many shows in the recent years that I’d watch more than once. But I agree on this one it’s going to be a show I watch over more than a couple times. And i’m sure you can agree that is just part of WHAT Anime is. But those subs the commercial one sent with the BluRay are just as shitty as always. Hopefully a group will pick this up one day and redo the entire series. It’ll be even better.
FluffyBoy
yow guys is this sub? gotta rewatch this again
