The first series of isekai anime, The Rising of the Shield Hero, that’s one with someone from our world dragged into a fantasy, seemed to tour all the different fantasy styles.
The latest trailer finds some more for season two.
The show hits Crunchyroll on April 6th, and we’ll pick up then with the adventures of Naofumi with our season one knowledge of what’s to come.
Season two is late, of course, hit hard by the delays wrought to anime production during the last few years of the global crisis.
They describe the show, which was a big hit for them, with a nod to the Waves and Raphtalia.
Iwatani Naofumi, a run-of-the-mill otaku, finds a book in the library that summons him to another world. He is tasked with joining the sword, spear, and bow as one of the Four Cardinal Heroes and fighting the Waves of Catastrophe as the Shield Hero.
Excited by the prospect of a grand adventure, Naofumi sets off with his party. However, merely a few days later, he is betrayed and loses all his money, dignity, and respect. Unable to trust anyone anymore, he employs a slave named Raphtalia and takes on the Waves and the world.
But will he really find a way to overturn this desperate situation?
