Anime to Watch: The Rising of the Shield Hero
My roommates and I had an anime night recently. We all pick a show we’re interested in, and we watch the first episode of each to see how we feel about it. One of my roommates got us to watch The Rising of the Shield Hero. Shield Hero was one of the biggest anime hits of 2019, and I was eager to give it a try. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if I would continue after the first episode. I’ve never been a big fan of the whole game-world type of anime, like Sword Art Online, Overlord, and No Game No Life. I struggle to get into those kinds of shows, so I was nervous about how I would feel about Shield Hero. Surprisingly, I got invested within the first few episodes, and I understand why it’s such a popular show.
