Strife's Sanctum Podcast #5 - The Rising of Shield Hero Season 1
A recent trend in anime the past 5-10 years is the proliferation of "isekai" or "other world" anime. Either via a video game simulation or "another world," it's usually involving a person from our time showing up and being a fish out of water story. What I believe sets Shield Hero apart is how Naofumi is treated from day one. I mention during the review the nature of how "grounded" and "brutal" his portrayal is. Despite some goofy comedy to balance out the political intrigue, this is one of my favorite recent shows.
