My goodness, who would have ever thought this isekai would get a third anime season, let alone a second one of all things! What did kadokawa mean by this? Are they clearly stating their intentions of reaching out to overseas markets, or are they hoping this wont turn into an overlord 3 situation?

This got a season 3?
Should be second, let alone, third. Less likely one is last.
An user posted a link to a site explaining a possible cause, i'll try find it.
store.steampowered.com
Ok i sure wasn't expecting something like this, even if it's a rpgmaker game
so pic related were responsible of SH success...
its surprising Kadokawa said their guinea pig actually made them a lot of money
>The Rising Of The Shield Hero’s English dub also started airing mid-February and at first, the English episodes were airing the same day as the Japanese release. However, there were “unforeseen circumstances” in the dubbing process, so starting mid-May 2019 the Shield Hero dub will be delayed
>“unforeseen circumstances
kek, wonder what could it be
The user that first posted the link said that kadokawa's report say that shield hero and magi's grandson made them a lot of money with NA streaming.
lol
I have an Overlord S2/3 flashbacks.
That's false, I read the KDKW financial reports for /biz/ reasons. There was no mention of Shield Hero at all. There was talk about increasing revenue from overseas royalties. And increased overseas revenue from anime licences, but nothing about streaming or Shield Hero. The only IP they highlighted for their video and game section is Sekiro which did have significant overseas contributions.
I know it is hard for Muricans, but they aren't that relevant when it comes to anime. CRs yearly subscription revenue is only around 2% of the foreign anime market revenue. At best half of that ends up in Japan. That's 1% of the overseas revenue, less than 0.5% of the total anime revenue.
Shield Hero profits more heavily from its Western popularity than other anime because it is funded to a significant part by CR. But the real reason for S2 and S3 is probably China.
Pretty disappointed I'm going to have to put up with this shit anime and equally shit fan base for years to come.
I don't know. Threads looked kind of good and an anime is ok, if a bit generic.
Second half of the 2nd season probably will be about "fisherman girl territory", and disappointment of a viewers about those "totally relevant and interesting" places already expected. So to not let interest die out in between seasons they're announced 3rd season now.
She'll make the world into her fishing pond
What the fuck volume 14 is up at bookwalker!?
global.bookwalker.jp
>kek, wonder what could it be
They have to redub the parts that were done by someone whose name rhymes with Spic Bologna?
>read vol 14 preivew
>sadina singlehandedly crippled the rebellion forces by drinking them under the table
Nice, now we'll be stuck with these fuckers shitting up the board with rants about how bad of an adaptation the anime is, again.
>waaaah my shit ln series has a shit adaption
how do people even defend this?
Equip a shield and raise the arm you have it on?
>Authentic 2DRPG made with RPG Maker MV
It is a full-fledged RPG that uses RPG Maker MV as an engine.
The content will satisfy both RPG fans and anime fans.
i wonder if they'll make a second one once seasons 2 and 3 are a thing
I wonder, will this account for when the players make choices or take actions such as going overboard in doing good deeds as the bird god saint or perhaps trying to escape the country at the time the heroes are summoned?
>genocide route
And genocide!
Rising of the isekaichads.
I would fucking love if that was a semi-open world with various bad ends and scenarios from the spin-off. At long last, I could see what would the best route be.
Shieldbro threads will be probably nothing but Yea Forums shitposting about Chinks
>despide being only 13% of Yea Forums's population
>shield hero fans account for 50% of the shitposting
>Shield hero got a season 3
>have to wait another month to read it on a non-shit screen
Why the fuck can't bookwalker just release the epubs/pdfs
Lokk at it this way, the rest of the volumes can't be that far away.
What even happen with One Peace Books? They just suddenly missed the publishing date and delayed the release by a lot of time
Idk either. They kind of dropped this shortly after the season 2 and 3 announcement.
Author said in their blog they were hoping for an S2 at the least but this surpassed his expectations.
>I'm going to have to put up
Having to read words on a screen, the horror
After all hell is other anons.
s2 SOON
It will obviously be 1 cour each now.
Do you have more dab
Praise be chink overlords in such they somehow liked that mediocre show.
Not enough.
>somehow
Makes sense when you consider that shield hero has a bunch of chink isekai stuff like cultivation
And some chinese aesthetics
Can't wait for china turtle
Congrats to Tate no Yuusha for getting 24th place in total media sales for 1st half of 2019.
I thought it was 20th
Me too, to be fair all 4 guardians lean more towards chinese mythology than japanese, those are in glass's world.
>I thought it was 20th
Look at again. Shield Hero is 盾の勇者の成り上がり.
I will never not be mad about One Peace Books translating "Naofumi-sama" as "Mr. Naofumi".
LOTM
>mr naofumi
Just keep the honorifics at that point
Yeah it should be sir naofumi.
I can't believe I am saying this, but yes. That's also JewPress' choice for that honorific. Shieldhero's (early) localisation choices are so bad that they make JewPress look good.
Why is it that OPB got the license for the shield hero novels yet they're not doing shit with it? With the anime's popularity it sure would be a good time to kick the translation speed into gear, more so that there's seasons 2 & 3 to be aired in the future.
It doesn't help that they scheduled the story to be stuck half-way into an arc for 10 months.
Of all the English LN licensors, Seven Seas seems to be the best overall, though if it's about speed the J-novels club is still faster, but Seven Seas still got better TL-quality compared to J-novels club imo.
This shit gets a second season but (insert your favorite show) doesn't
How does this make you feel, Yea Forums?
Nothing because i like Shield Hero too.
I feel great because shield hero is my favorite show.
Good, because even if Shield Hero isn't my favorite show I still enjoyed it quite a bit.
I find the fact that they need to portray a (most likely) split cour as "seasons 2 and 3" as a sign of desperation.
Feels good man
>even having a first season
Must be nice. In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to more Shield Hero and hope that the pacing issues of s1 won't be as prevalent in the following seasons.
Annoyed. The only isekai that deserves a second season is Isekai Maou.
Why desperation?
This. Expect CG to get worse as each new season progresses.
And then the author gets butthurt because people won't buy his overpriced side story and blames the fan translations for him being too much a faggot to continue his story properly.
Nah Maruyama is just tired from Overlrod in general he's been writing it since what? 2010? He's not a starry-eyed teenager fresh out of "let's become the novelist!" contest where publisher plucked him from. This and bloated fan expectations from all the hype, I understand why he slams the release schedule brakes: he just can't see how to wrap up the story in a way that would satisfy fans, his work is too big now.
Same shit as JRR martin with SOFAI: story was expanded way to far and series became far too big for author to finish things in a satisfactory fasion.
I can understand that, but doesn't excuse him acting like a little bitch on social media
He's been joking on twitter since forever, you not being able to discern tongue-on-cheek posts is not his fault. Also it's miles better than bashing chinks online and get your series killed.
>Release is at 16 month of 2015
>Ooooh gaijins translate my book that hurts my delicate feelings I will probably write even slower!
>you want that story about bigass chunk of worldbuilding well just DYI or fund 4 more anime seasons maybe then I'll write it
Poor Ruty
She really loves her onii-chan doesn't she?
NGNL too; the light novels have enough to support another season
>This shit gets a second season but (insert your favorite show) doesn't
I'm more of a manga/LN/VN over anime, but Go Toubun is getting a second season.
Also I think SH isn't horrible and deserves a 2nd season (I've seen worse adaptations)
Ufo going to finish HF. Whatever they work on next is sure to be easy on the eyes.
Also I very much rather they stop making Toaru animes because JC keeps shitting the series.
Only think I want and haven't gotten would probably be Ufo adapting umineko and fixing another series ruined by Deen. God Deen sucks.
Only shit keeps going forever. Meanwhile here I am waiting for more Konosuba.
The only thing Deen didn't destroy on contact was KonoSuba, and JC Staff isn't any better than them. I don't want more quints anime either, it was hot garbage compared to the manga and I don't want to be let down by bad adaptations again
I've been out of the loop, this actually got renewed?
It'll happen eventually; it's only a matter of time until either Deen or JC royally fuck it up though. I heard they dropped the ball with the movie quality too
It doesn't seem like anyone here has read the LN, but apparently the next arc is the most tedious one
A movie just came out. Also Konosuba gets worse after volume 5, i don't want a S3.
No, we are just pretending
I'd rather just stick to the novels if Jc staff will be in charge
>Ufo adapting umineko
meh, Umineko just can't be properly adapted, it only works as a VN
>No, we are just pretending
motherfucker i knew it
Yes, 2 more seasons.
Were you living under a rock?
Worse, got a job.
If naofumi & co. Indeed get into Isekai quartet, or however it's going to be called with more series added into the mix, what kind of shields will he be able to unlock considering there's new "materials" that can be absorbed? Can he copy a shield-type World Item? Can naofumi tank an EXPLOSION without suffering any harm?
It would be funny to see darkness asking him to rename her to slut
Who would let him have any "materials" maybe Subarus snot and tears
>tank Explosion
Pretty sure Pope Attack or Turtle Breath were stronger.
He could easily tank explosion.
Or what if kazuma manages to steal naofumi's shield? He'd be fucked if that changes his class to the shield hero one.
Kazuma will end up with male boxers in his hand.
Animation isn't great, but anime team got spoliers from Negi and adapted those well into the anime, OP/ED, and the glamour-shots of the quints are good.
Music score is great. Yotsuba theme just makes you happy.
They didn't even use her remix theme "Sentimental" yet.
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net
I think they are saving it for S3 ch90. It fits the feel of that chapter perfectly.
No adaptation is perfect, but it's about also getting the anime too. Ufo's FZ & UBW for example both had issues and changes, but offered some things the VN didn't.
>Shirou's creepy survivor-mode face only mentioned by Rin in the VN
>fight cinematics
>Last stardust
>UBW during shirouVarcher was bogus, but I ended up liking the concept of it being used visually show Archer/Shirou's mental state during the battle
The way I understand it, Naofumi can't take the shield off even for a second, so it would teleport back right after being stolen.
It can be stolen(the physical part of the weapon in the case i'm describing) but that was due to an enemy having some sort of ability/cheat granted by the mastermind(s) behind the waves in-universe. Im just wondering if kazuma's steal can do the same.
Kazuma's [Steal] is low-tier rogue skill I doubt it can do shit to Weapons
S1 was bad. Does it get better?
HAHA ITS TIME FOR FISHING LOLI
>low tier skill
>can steal the most precious treasure a girl has in her possession
You need not a skill to do that...
so what arc will this cover, the turtle?
Turtle and isekai^2 arc
Ufo is probably going to do Kimetsu no Yaiba S2 next
>isekai^2 arc
is that going to Glass world?
Yes.
Well that reminds me, will people finally talk more about stuff now that the manga and anime are about to cover something new that isn't in the WNs?
We're about T-2 years from the kikes in all but name at Kadokawa giving CR the Yen treatment.
God I hate Kadokawa. Have I mentioned I hate Kadokawa? We're in for some pretty serious changes and none of them will be good.
Wait what?
Kadokawa is going to buy out CR like they bought out Yen Press. Mark my words. Quote my post when it happens.
Huh, i thought they already did.
Show was good up until episode 15 then it sucked ass. Dropped it at 19. I tried, I really fucking tried. I haven't seen a series with so much potential turn into so much shit so goddamn fast.
By the way, what do you mean two years time?
I doubt it, because if you go up the chain CR is ultimately owned by AT&T, who's general philosophy for their divisions and subsidiaries is to be as big and cover as much as they can without getting hit by anti-trust lawsuits.
Pronounce it out loud.
A couple more pilots make them money and they'll start buying out foreign distributors.
I see this point
I also see this point
Yet all anons fail
Hacking your way into the bank account without getting caught is pretty hard.
I see dead people
Reminder that Chadfumi fucks and impregnates all the lolis
Except for the chicken
He literally stole that other guy's magic sword.
And the second time he froze it on its shat, summoned water inside the guy's mouth and froze it too so he wouldn't be able to breathe.
Faggot hero can't catch a break.
As proven later - that particular guy is nobody without this sword, so, not a lot of skill involved.
Same
Well, most of the summoned heroes are the same as him. They just use an OP weapon/skill given to them by Aqua but without that they are useless.
I doubt there is any amongst them that truly trains .
So how many isekai in the last 5 years are in the multiple seasons club now?
Overlord
Konosuba
Re:Zero
Tensura
Shield Hero
Is there more?
I want the Japanese to finally learn computers and Internet.

Source?
But if that was true, it bad sign for anime industry. If it rely on chink too much, chink will have power over anime same thing happened with Hollywood. Hell chink cancelled that one isekai anime, no one manage to did that before.
meanwhile shows I actually liked don't get a second one
that's pretty good
>Chris Sabat running a casting couch
>Mick Lasagna getting fired over petty selfish reasons

Either Vic was gonna voice someone, or they were gonna use Monica Rial/Jamie Marchi, or some chick denied Chris Sabat some pussy in the anime casting couch
>monica rial and jamie marchi not in the shield hero dub cast
Literally no one involved in the vic situation is in the shield hero dub kek
Zero no Tsukaima got a 3rd season. Checkmate.
Too soon.
Only gets worse over time.
>Big turtle attack, kill it
>lolno you have to kill it again because genius kept it alive
>Durr we're going to pseudo-Japan world becuz we have to chase genius guy

>Time to revisit villain concepts from earlier in the LN again, literally naming them things like Trash #2, because we have to reinforce how everyone is dumb and bad except the MC and his party
I could keep going, but it really is so tiresome. I get why it did well, because it started off quite strong, but it truly peters out over time. I imagine overall show rating will decline over time, but it'll still probably be made because people are invested now.
Just one thing there:
>Wow everyone here is stronger than us, we have to level again, but luckily we landed right where we need to find all the allies that will immediately help us
You do remember that they got reset back to level 1, and they didn't land inside allied lands, they were in enemy lands.
I do get why you think so, about the falloff and investment.
>He doesn't like the isekai^2 arc
Shit taste.
Yeah, conveniently with allies that could immediately help them, along with items present or thrown at them, because plot, to escape their "harrow" circumstances. There was literally zero pressure the entire time in the other world. It was just Naofumi and Raphtalia steamrolling everything until whiny retard chick went full autism mode to save the day, again. The entire thing just smelled of an author struggling to tack on shit to a story to appease fans clamoring for more. Rather than make little additions, or side stories, it's just full out garbage that ruins the flow of the story overall.
Chinks having influence over anime is nothing new, the Kemono Friends director already said that china is basically the biggest market for anime and you can expect more pandering towards them in the future
google.com
It would have gotten more if the author wasn't dead
>because plot, to escape their "harrow" circumstances
By this you mean everyone, or naofumi's group before reuniting with raphtalia's group?
pic related could've been godlike if the author had stopped sneaking his fetishes in.
>Naofumi just happens to land in HH's prison dimension, also an otherworlder who's been trapped there a long ass time and is friends with the enemies he's been fighting until now
>He just happens to have a seed to grow them out of the dimensional prison to free her despite her being there for years and trying all sorts of shit to get out
>Raphtalia just happens to land with the group so they can power level her up, and then she gets the katana or whatever bound to her despite being from another world (she gets to keep it by the way because lmaofuckyouNipponstronk. Fuck that other weapon she was supposed to get)
I guess Filo was kind of fucked over at the start. Still basically zero pressure overall, but I will say after thinking it over that Filo did at least face some hardships, unlike the others.
But that's what makes it godlike
Alright fair enough.
The fuck is this from?
That sounds great. Man I can't wait for this to happen.
They tried to get in on some of that Chika dance magic and ended up with this 3dcg abortion.
a funny bit is that naofumi almost calls out that trash #2 guy for having a harem like he's compensating for something but then dismisses the idea because he himself looks the same.
I truly believed in the doomposting so I'm surprised this is happening.
Doomposting you say? please elaborate
I'm guessing he refers to the anons who said that it was impossible to get another season
Eh, the last episode of season 1 didn't make me very hopeful.
It seemed like they wanted to wrap it up there, guess not even the director was expecting a second season
Hopefully they'll retcon that with some book magic.
They should retcon more things, the pope fight had abysmally bad pacing which took a toll on Cal Mira and Rishia. But at the same time, I don't want them to use more time and resources than it is necessary so the second half of the last episode is probably more reasonable.
no truer loss will be that of excluding elena from the narrative...
I'm the Elenafag/Renfag who often drops by. You hit where hurts the most.
>Mfw Kinema Citrus is stuck with Shield Hero now instead of making more good shit like Made in Abyss
ShieldHero could have been so much better if only Raphtalia didn't completely fade into the background in only a few episodes and if everyone aside from Naofumi weren't so incompetent. Even Filo became much more helpful for Naofumi than Raphtalia. It could've been Naofumi with his 2 trusty companions but it ended up devolving into a generic harem.
I'll probably watch the next seasons but I hope Raphtalia gets more screentime since she's depicted as the heroine of the series.
lets see:
>Vol 6
she's there
>vol 7
She's there too
>vol 8
unless they do stuff like showing the progress of raphtalia's group, you wont see her until the end
>vol 9
she's there
>vol 10
She's there too, moreso that they're dealing with the village and trying to get back the survivors of the first wave.
