What Is The Rising of the Shield Hero About?
The Rising of the Shield Hero’s first season was outstanding, and it helped it become one of the most famous anime. Unfortunately, it was followed by a weak and lackluster season, which did more harm than good. The third season of The Rising of the Shield Hero was much better than the previous installment. It proved to the fans that the studio and staff cared about the show and wanted it to be as good as any other anime out there.
The Rising of the Shield Hero follows the story of a boy who is summoned into a different world along with three more people. Together, the four are treated as heroes who have to repel the forces of evil and save the world.
The Rising of the Shield Hero is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
