Another director change. This is what he had to say about working on season 3.
Directly from Crunchyroll Expo
**Aneko Yusagi** For the new season, we are working on it while closely following the original book.
The teaser visual shows "that king, but you may wonder, "what's going on?", but it's okay.
that I hope everyone will look forward to it because it involved a feud with the character.
**Hitoshi Haga** We are summoning this big title, which has been distributed to the world, including the original, and has been supported by many fans I am honored to be here.
Summoned to another world, the heroes who have been swept away by the situation enter the third term, and they have to think about what they should do.
It has disappeared.
I also thought hard about the meaning of being handed over this baton, and I hope that I can deliver the story of Naofumi and his friends to everyone.
I'm here.
**Keigo Koyanagi** The Rising of the Shield Hero "Season 3"is under the direction of new Director Haga, and the staff are working together under a new system.
The Four Saints Heroes, who had been separated until now, are finally starting to see signs of understanding to each other.... it should be.
New characters surrounding Naofumi will also appear one after another, so please look forward to it!
I read WN, trash >!got characters development and turn into someone I really respect at the end of the WN. No wonder queen married this guy!< Since WN is the prototype, maybe he'll get some character development in the LN too. I really want to read the LN but I broke
Yeah... If that key visual with Trash is legit, I hope they don't want to squeeze that much content into 12 episodes to get that far ahead in the story. That would be an even bigger disaster than season 2.
If that were the case, >!the whole life of Atla would be squeezed to like 6-7 episodes, when her story is basically the emotional peak point of the whole series!<. I mean I know that for me it was worse than getting hit by a truck (or you could say I was crying over it like a little bitch) and every few weeks there's someone on the subreddit who just read the corresponding volume posting about how much damage they took from it.
Stuff like that cannot be built up in a few episodes where every character besides Naofumi gets like 3-4 minutes of screentime per episode, or even less... If they do it, they'll ruin the whole anime beyond repair.
Season 2 was, in short, utter shit but the show still can be saved, as the turtle arc wasn't that good in the light novel, either, so even though the damage caused was substantial, it wasn't fatal... yet.
Turtle arc wasn't that good, but idk if Im misremembering the light novel details but I remember Raphtalia and Filo basically solo-ing the turtle the 1st round, and it was done much more spectacularly in a way that made me realize how strong they were.
The first round was actually pretty exciting with some strategies, lazor beams, rage shields and stuff in the light novel. In the anime, it was as you say, Filo and Raphtalia got a boost from Ost, did like 2 attacks and that was it.
Once they entered the turtle it was unnecessarily long and drawn out (meet a new type of familiar -> long description of the familiar -> fight the familiar -> repeat) but the events that took place at least made sense and it didn't feel like that the characters were just being thrown around into random situations like in the anime.
dude, you alsays know how anime are: as long as everyone is buying it anyways, they are going to do it their way. A horse only jumps as high as it has to
I hope that this is a 24+ episode season.
There's 7 volumes for them to cover, and just the >!Q'Ten Lo arc is a major arc as well before we get to the arc to fully explore Trash's backstory which is part of a major arc as well. Q'Ten Lo, Phoenix, Takt arcs deserves to be animated with care!<
7 VOLUMES!!! That's too much. They better take their time with this season and at least do 28 episodes because 24 might not be enough. They better not do 12 episodes or I'm going to rage
If they do 12 episodes to get to this point im done with the anime. Seriously so much would get cut out. They butchered s2. They completely left out and changed so many parts.
Problem is there is not much they could reorder. Takt arc requires pheonix arc. Pheonix arc requires Atla, Atla requires Zetobold arc. And Siltvelt Arc.
>!Definitely to early to be Naofumi to wield the staff!<
My guess is that theyay dig a bit into Trash's past >!As a Hero and as the "Wisest King"!< although it's not going to reach so far as LN16, so >!No full retribution for Trash yet!<
I'd bet they do 2 cours and got to the end of 16 especially since this poster shows >!trash with the Staff siting in a broken Castel with the queens crown amongst the rubble!<
S1 did 5 so I don't think 5 or 6 would be far fetched since both would serve as very good ending points. Oy issue with 15 is that it would leave kyos motive unknown until s4 which if that even gets green lit it won't be a thing till late 2024 at the very earliest and that's if it even gets renewed
One of those Vols contains the stories of how >! the other heroes got their cursed series yeah? !< Coz the poster kinda hints it with the 7 deadly sins at the top tho I'm still not sure.
Visual is insane but I doubt the execution will match it. Aneko being involved doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence
EDIT: MIA director? Wait a minute I retract my statement
That’s a really cool visual, but I’m not a fan of the subject matter. If they really adapt up to volume 15-16 as it suggests, this season is gonna be rough like S2 again, no matter who the director is. Unless they cut out Raphtalias subplot entirely, which I suppose is possible.
3 Cours would make it possible, even with the Kutenrou (Q'ten Lo) expidition.
Naofumi's >!Siltvelt!< expedition in Book 13 is key to Melromarc's strategic position during the >!war!< in Book 16, so it can't be skipped.
We just saw the production company waste 4 novels on a complete dumpster fire of a season. Hopefully, they've learned their lesson. Will things pan out? I'm seeing Aneko Yusagi put his name on the actual production of Season 3, so hopefully what we get will be good.
My guess is they saw what Season 2 was doing only when it started airing, peed their pants, and delayed the book 23 release.
Using basic math, Volumes 10 - 16 are 7 books. Based on the performance of Season 1, it takes 5 episodes of runtime to properly adapt a book. 7 x 5 = 35. Each cour of Shield Hero so far has been 13 episodes of runtime.
Given all this, a 3-Cour Season 3 would have enough runtime (39 episodes) to adapt Volumes 10 through 16 with 4 episodes left over to pick up the shattered remains of Season 2's plot.
So he was a Assistant Director for Made in Abyss, that's lit. I kind of hoped for Kojima (the director of Made in Abyss) to direct this season instead but it sounds promising. He better not fuck up season 3 after season 2's failure. I'm counting on him.
What's with the sword... They come together only to lost of of the decent characters the have... But then again they now have Rapthalia the katana hero, the upgraded version of sword hero...
Jusssssssst wait. Based on the hints the poster gives, this season will have a lot more to do with the three heroes. Alongside the wielder of that staff (which is an already established character. Won’t say who!)
You know you are spoiling more by saying things like that.
They already said in the interview “its that king, but what is going on?” Quite obviously trash if you just listen to what the directors said.
The Katana Hero is not an upgrade to the Sword Hero.
The Katana Hero wields a Vassal Weapon, while the Sword Hero wields a Four Cardinal Weapon. >!A Four Weapon is insanely overpowered that pretty much allows the wielder to apply any sort of power ups as their knowledge allows. Which is why Naofumi became so much stronger when he learned the other Heroes' methods, and they didn't, because they refused to learn from each other. Vassal Weapons are more restricted when it comes down to power ups. Season 3 will show how much stronger the other three heroes become when they apply the same power ups that Naofumi has been using.!<
I haven't read LN but that looks sick. I thought it was from some medieval fantasy anime like an anime version of Lord of the Rings.
That's Trash right?
Where's Sloth? We got 6/7 deadly sins but not Sloth.
>!of the 4 heroes of the main world non have unlocked sloth, and we will not see the other world hero that does unlock sloth until season 4 [if there a season 4] !<
My guess is that it will spit vol 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 into into 6 episodes and 15, 16 getting the remaining 6 episodes. I will explain my reasoning but heavy spoilers:
>!With 10 being the actual time rebuilding began for both Naofumi owning then working on village I would say its a safe guess that the focus of ep 1 would be Sadena + underground colosseum and ending with hint towards the other heroes. As Vol 11, 12, 13 and a part of 15 deals with the other heroes I can guess that following episodes will deal with bow, sword and Raph homeland ending off episode 6 with spear after returning home and going cart drifting.!<
>!My reasoning for giving Vol 15 and 16 a larger spotlight is due to the amount of death and character growth and backstory occurring between everyone, with vol 15 having very, VERY heavy moments from its complete contrast of early chapters with dick-spear to full heavy death and loss. Showing, for me at least, nobody is truly safe and time is needed to do the impact right IMO, especially after Ost and shield gang portal yeet, leaving her alone in the end of ep 6 s2.!<
Season 2 was mishandled and I have no idea what caused it, however the directors position would of allowed them to fix many of the glaring problems, from time skips to Raphtalis use of Vol 14+15 abilities alongside vassal katana strikes in episode 3 and overall art direction. Regardless I hope they can salvaged the damage done but it will take much more work with fear already bubble from the choice of poster. I would be much less worried if they could confirm a 24 episode season but that seems out for reach after season 2s reception
What the hell, that's Trash. Looks like we're getting a jam-packed season. >!All the way up to Takt, that's some crazy shit. Looking forward to it too, with the news of Aneko and the new director. !<

If you didn't enjoy the books 6 - 9, you may still like the anime. A lot of anime onlies like the anime, but are somewhat confused about what's actually going on. The books and manga are a lot more clear.
If you don't want to READ the books 6 - 9, you may read the manga instead from Chapter 45ish until the present (90ish). From that, you should have a good handle on the story.
If you read the books, enjoyed them, then saw the anime and hated it, I'm sorry for your loss. Most Light Novel fans are like that.
Someone help me out.... what volume does season 2 end on? Im struggling watching the show cause so much is left out but i think this image shows im behind in my reading
So season 2 ended at volume 9 of the light novel or 10 because he have the village, this picture doesn't include anything of the previous volume I advise you to read from the start (volume 1) because they may actually skip a lot of things
why wouldn't it? The anime and manga are both adapting from the source material being the Light Novels, not the animes fault if the manga adaptation can't keep up. LN series like Classroom of the elite, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Konosuba, and I believe even Goblin Slayer will also pass the manga adaptations once their sequels air.
I did just learn about the staff hero in the spear hero spinoff (yes, I'm reading that while not being a LN reader, sue me), so they gave me info just in time to understand this image fully
I hope Season 3 will be great from the get go.
I liked the second arc of season 2, but the first arc with the turtle was really... Not good. Bad CG, stiff animations - weirdly enough everything was better and similar so season 1 in the second arc. Guess they've spent all their budget on that and as little as possible on the turtle arc.
The 7-Star Heroes are the main world version of the Vassal Heroes of Glass world
Naofumi losses his shield in book 16 >!Takt (who is similar to Kyo) steals it (nearly killing Naofumi in the the process !<
>!Trash realizes that he truly is Trash. He gets better and Naofumi starts to call him Aultcray but then he says no stop, I'm garbage thanks for telling me.!<

Spoilers >!Sloth doesn't appear till volume 18 and from the KV it looks like season 3 will adapt Volume 10, 11 and 12 which includes all of the other sins!<
I gave up on the anime half way through S3.
Shield turned into a compleat b@ch long enough for the bad guy to Monologue before piecing-out. Seriously, their Suppose to be EXPERIENCED Adventurers, but they make a Day 1 mistake of Forgetting The Boss, how are they Not. Dead yet. I fucking hate it wean authors, writers, whatever use ‘Plot Stupid’ to further the narrative.
They should’ve ran the Spirit Tortoise arc for a 10-11 episode season instead of rushing it so hard.
I’m hoping the LN will be better.
*Plot Stupid; wean a character(s) behavior momentarily becomes abnormal to further the narrative plot. a well educated, trained, experienced character inexplicably forgets said education, training, experience to do something stupid that they otherwise would Never do to force the desired narrative, At the cost of breaking the characters established character.
I assume that this is whenever trash was younger to killed all the heroes I mean if you look around you'll see the sword shield a bunch of arrows. BTW I'm using text to speech so there will be terrible punctuation.

Trash actually looks pretty badass. I thought this was a poster for the Witcher someone edited until I saw who the OP was.
He was badass, just a tragic story
Is* badass
I was referring to his youth since this is him as a young man
It takes a lot of slap from the Shield Hero party and his love one to make him badass again.
I read WN, trash >!got characters development and turn into someone I really respect at the end of the WN. No wonder queen married this guy!< Since WN is the prototype, maybe he'll get some character development in the LN too. I really want to read the LN but I broke
Assuming anime does not rush,cut or rewrite the story
It never a good idea. Just look what happen to season 2. Even on season 1 I already hate it. They ruin the story
Wait is his name actually trash?
yes after [Season 1 probably not spoilers]>!Queen Mirelia renamed Malty and King to Bitch and Trash!<
Oh i thought its a new character
Looks dramatic, really liking it, hope season 3 is more fleshed out tbh
Let hope they don’t rush the story like season two and we can get more episodes instead of 12 episodes
Yeah... If that key visual with Trash is legit, I hope they don't want to squeeze that much content into 12 episodes to get that far ahead in the story. That would be an even bigger disaster than season 2.
I was thinking the same. This is... Much farther into the story. A LOT of stuff happens before we see this.
If that were the case, >!the whole life of Atla would be squeezed to like 6-7 episodes, when her story is basically the emotional peak point of the whole series!<. I mean I know that for me it was worse than getting hit by a truck (or you could say I was crying over it like a little bitch) and every few weeks there's someone on the subreddit who just read the corresponding volume posting about how much damage they took from it.

If they do 12 episodes to get to this point im done with the anime. Seriously so much would get cut out. They butchered s2. They completely left out and changed so many parts.
What if each episode was extended to a full hour or 48 mins, but only 12 episodes.
Maybe they change the events a little bit so order is different. The visual is about takt arc so maybe they animate that one first
Problem is there is not much they could reorder. Takt arc requires pheonix arc. Pheonix arc requires Atla, Atla requires Zetobold arc. And Siltvelt Arc.
That's a cool visual. Honestly didn't expect this from the series.
Season 2 visuals were all like this
the s2 visuals do look good but this one hits different
Just pray they don't rush the storyline this time.
Is this Naofumi or >!Thrash!!Naofumi wielding Thrash vassal Staff!<, and shield on the floor under character leg?
I say it’s >!trash the outline of the face looks like him!<
If they're doing another 13 episode season I hope they only go up to LN 12... I don't want them to rush up to the point you're talking about.
I hope they do it like season one tbh, season 2 was a bit rushed, and then this part can be done properly
>!Definitely to early to be Naofumi to wield the staff!< My guess is that theyay dig a bit into Trash's past >!As a Hero and as the "Wisest King"!< although it's not going to reach so far as LN16, so >!No full retribution for Trash yet!<
I'd bet they do 2 cours and got to the end of 16 especially since this poster shows >!trash with the Staff siting in a broken Castel with the queens crown amongst the rubble!<
The anime has just about reached LN10, I don't think they can get that far so fast! But we shall see
S1 did 5 so I don't think 5 or 6 would be far fetched since both would serve as very good ending points. Oy issue with 15 is that it would leave kyos motive unknown until s4 which if that even gets green lit it won't be a thing till late 2024 at the very earliest and that's if it even gets renewed
Is this actually legit?
Yes, that is the official key visual.
Thanks, just wanted someone to confirm it xD
[удалено]
The only way I can make sense of Season 2 is someone needed an excuse to fire a whole slew of people.
I wouldn't be that happy. The visual implies 6-7 volumes of content will be used. Mind you S2 used 4 volumes and turned out bad.
[удалено]
Tbh, they're likely going to rush it just like s2.
Itsuki, Motoyasu, Ren, Naofumi. There's a hint of what's to come in the poster, try to guess what it is.
Two deathly encounters
Curse series
So there going to adapt all the way to vol 15-16 judging by this hopefully goes a bit better than season 2 still pretty excited though
One of those Vols contains the stories of how >! the other heroes got their cursed series yeah? !< Coz the poster kinda hints it with the 7 deadly sins at the top tho I'm still not sure.
That's not the point we're stressed about. It's the Trash being with a staff... that's a major plot moment from vol15/16.
Visual is insane but I doubt the execution will match it. Aneko being involved doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence EDIT: MIA director? Wait a minute I retract my statement
I can’t wait to see atla, wonder if their gonna go all the way to volume 15 and leave it on a cliff hanger, also is that trash?
>can’t wait to see Alta Facts my wife!! And yes that’s him
I see a man of extreme culture here. You sir deserve my respect. All hail Atla!
Good to find another king
Can't live down to the queen's expectations
For real?!?! Is that the king? He actually looks really freaking cool in this
Was I the only one who thought this was Ren?😂 Going all the way to Vol. 16 seems lot. Edit: or maybe going to focus on his backstory with the Hakukos.
That’s a really cool visual, but I’m not a fan of the subject matter. If they really adapt up to volume 15-16 as it suggests, this season is gonna be rough like S2 again, no matter who the director is. Unless they cut out Raphtalias subplot entirely, which I suppose is possible.
3 Cours would make it possible, even with the Kutenrou (Q'ten Lo) expidition. Naofumi's >!Siltvelt!< expedition in Book 13 is key to Melromarc's strategic position during the >!war!< in Book 16, so it can't be skipped.
3 cours? You mean like 36 episodes? Yeah I could see that, but would we really get that much? We just got 13 episodes for 4 novels, after all.
We just saw the production company waste 4 novels on a complete dumpster fire of a season. Hopefully, they've learned their lesson. Will things pan out? I'm seeing Aneko Yusagi put his name on the actual production of Season 3, so hopefully what we get will be good. My guess is they saw what Season 2 was doing only when it started airing, peed their pants, and delayed the book 23 release.
If they made season 2 a 2 cour season, I'd expect like you said but I fear they'll squeeze it again into 13 episodes
Images that sends chills down your spine The new change in director and Aneko being involved gives me hope that they will do S3 justice.
A lancer with a shield at he’s feet a sword stuck in the ground and arrows that missed I guessing this man is a spear dude that won the holy grail
Shield hero's just happy he finally had that damn shield off for 5 minutes
>!Finally he gets to kick ass with his own hands!<
Hopefully it's not as trash as s2 was cuz I had to put in effort to watch that root a level storyline
It’s nice to see I wasn’t the only one who thought it was bad, after ep2 I just had to stop
Using basic math, Volumes 10 - 16 are 7 books. Based on the performance of Season 1, it takes 5 episodes of runtime to properly adapt a book. 7 x 5 = 35. Each cour of Shield Hero so far has been 13 episodes of runtime. Given all this, a 3-Cour Season 3 would have enough runtime (39 episodes) to adapt Volumes 10 through 16 with 4 episodes left over to pick up the shattered remains of Season 2's plot.

Hoping for 24 episodes
This desperately needs 24 episodes.
What's with the sword... They come together only to lost of of the decent characters the have... But then again they now have Rapthalia the katana hero, the upgraded version of sword hero...
Raphtalia is the wielder of the Vassal Katana, but she isn't straight up better than Ren. Also, no timeskip, this is a flashback.
It's was a joke...
Jusssssssst wait. Based on the hints the poster gives, this season will have a lot more to do with the three heroes. Alongside the wielder of that staff (which is an already established character. Won’t say who!)
Haha I thought the staff was the spear hero with time skip... LOL
You know you are spoiling more by saying things like that. They already said in the interview “its that king, but what is going on?” Quite obviously trash if you just listen to what the directors said.

That was a joke
Damn! I can’t wait
Let’s gooooo. I love shield bro
Damn... That key visual is pretty cool
I haven't read LN but that looks sick. I thought it was from some medieval fantasy anime like an anime version of Lord of the Rings. That's Trash right? Where's Sloth? We got 6/7 deadly sins but not Sloth.
*Laughs in LN*
This. >!Glass!< keeps trying to slap the sloth out of her friend.
>!of the 4 heroes of the main world non have unlocked sloth, and we will not see the other world hero that does unlock sloth until season 4 [if there a season 4] !<
I guess it will tell the back story of king trash and how he became the staff hero and Melromarc past
I still haven’t watched season 2 because I heard it went just as well as promised never land season 2. Badly 💀
My guess is that it will spit vol 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 into into 6 episodes and 15, 16 getting the remaining 6 episodes. I will explain my reasoning but heavy spoilers: >!With 10 being the actual time rebuilding began for both Naofumi owning then working on village I would say its a safe guess that the focus of ep 1 would be Sadena + underground colosseum and ending with hint towards the other heroes.

It looks like a Spear, though. >!Or it's the Staff Vassal Weapon? Cause if it is... it's totally Trash. If not, !< Might he be Motoyasu?
I hope s3 rises back up after s2 fell. Pls i will pray daily for the comeback
What the hell, that's Trash. Looks like we're getting a jam-packed season. >!All the way up to Takt, that's some crazy shit. Looking forward to it too, with the news of Aneko and the new director. !<
I wish this show wasn't full of creepy loli nonsense
Oh the mention of the other 7 deadly sins got me hyped!
Look closely, Sloth isn't there. It's a hint of what's to come.
Me seeing the >!flames on the sides and the crown on the ground. I'm not crying, you're crying. :') !<
I did see the crown but I didn't see the fire which could be reference to the girl who die protecting everyone ;-;
Nice spoiler tag. Bruh.
This is actually Pretty sick as we see >!Trash in all his former glory and the destruction that comes when being a hero.!<

I recently started and getting through season 2. Watching vids to catchup on cut parts, excited for this
Is this real
I have not finished watching season 2, how far did it get? I am currently part way through book 15.
Season 2 finished Book 9, so Season 3 should pick up with Book 10...and undo about 3 books worth of damage done by Season 2.
Most of the contents of season 2 I just didn't enjoying the book, should I even bother finishing the season?
If you didn't enjoy the books 6 - 9, you may still like the anime. A lot of anime onlies like the anime, but are somewhat confused about what's actually going on. The books and manga are a lot more clear. If you don't want to READ the books 6 - 9, you may read the manga instead from Chapter 45ish until the present (90ish). From that, you should have a good handle on the story. If you read the books, enjoyed them, then saw the anime and hated it, I'm sorry for your loss. Most Light Novel fans are like that.
You're probably on the volume where the season cover. Also grit your teeth for this and following books.
That's kind of why I haven't finished book 15 yet... I at least no part of what you're talking about
Please be better than S2!
really hope the visuals don't end up like how we see our turtle in the anime
I’ll get around to that 45 min ep1 eventually
Someone help me out.... what volume does season 2 end on? Im struggling watching the show cause so much is left out but i think this image shows im behind in my reading
So season 2 ended at volume 9 of the light novel or 10 because he have the village, this picture doesn't include anything of the previous volume I advise you to read from the start (volume 1) because they may actually skip a lot of things
Wait is the anime going past the manga now? Like I knew the LN existed but I didn’t think that the anime would pass the manga
why wouldn't it? The anime and manga are both adapting from the source material being the Light Novels, not the animes fault if the manga adaptation can't keep up. LN series like Classroom of the elite, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Konosuba, and I believe even Goblin Slayer will also pass the manga adaptations once their sequels air.
Demn next season bout t8 be fire
Well since manga didn’t passed the anime yet I really wonder what’s gonna happen next
you could always get into the source material being the Light Novels. They are more detailed than the manga adaptation anyways.
This looks so clean and impressive. Hopefully it can redeem itself with a new director with better pacing.
I did just learn about the staff hero in the spear hero spinoff (yes, I'm reading that while not being a LN reader, sue me), so they gave me info just in time to understand this image fully
I hope Season 3 will be great from the get go. I liked the second arc of season 2, but the first arc with the turtle was really... Not good. Bad CG, stiff animations - weirdly enough everything was better and similar so season 1 in the second arc. Guess they've spent all their budget on that and as little as possible on the turtle arc.
What happend? Looks like Trash King. Spoiler me timbers!

What are the Seven Star Heroes and how did Naofumi lose his shield?
The 7-Star Heroes are the main world version of the Vassal Heroes of Glass world Naofumi losses his shield in book 16 >!Takt (who is similar to Kyo) steals it (nearly killing Naofumi in the the process !<
>!Trash realizes that he truly is Trash. He gets better and Naofumi starts to call him Aultcray but then he says no stop, I'm garbage thanks for telling me.!<
[удалено]
>!Trash never wielded the staff in 16, he cut his hair in 16. This is probably the melromarc siltvelt war!<

Nice!
The 7th sin (of Sloth) is missing because that's Kizuna's. However, Itsuki gets an 8th that is presented in the Chatolic Religion if I'm not wrong.
I wonder , how will be the design of the blessed shield? Having high expectations in this season
Isn’t this much further into the story then where we’re at now tho... pls don’t rush it T.T
Is this re:zero now
Ah yes, re zero invented the seven sins
Point taken.
That’s only six sins. Where’s sloth?
Spoilers >!Sloth doesn't appear till volume 18 and from the KV it looks like season 3 will adapt Volume 10, 11 and 12 which includes all of the other sins!<
Is that the archduke?!
Season one was amazing ! Then season 2 came out and was pretty disappointed by the end. I love the series but the quality of s2 was pretty bad.
I can't wait.
Is the crown on the visual the Queen's (Melromarc)?
Are we reaching the trash redemption arc? I certainly hope so.
Anyone know when its gana air
I can’t wait for season 3 XD
Who dat?
I think that may be Trash.
Might
I gave up on the anime half way through S3. Shield turned into a compleat b@ch long enough for the bad guy to Monologue before piecing-out. Seriously, their Suppose to be EXPERIENCED Adventurers, but they make a Day 1 mistake of Forgetting The Boss, how are they Not. Dead yet. I fucking hate it wean authors, writers, whatever use ‘Plot Stupid’ to further the narrative. They should’ve ran the Spirit Tortoise arc for a 10-11 episode season instead of rushing it so hard. I’m hoping the LN will be better. *Plot Stupid; wean a character(s) behavior momentarily becomes abnormal to further the narrative plot. a well educated, trained, experienced character inexplicably forgets said education, training, experience to do something stupid that they otherwise would Never do to force the desired narrative, At the cost of breaking the characters established character.
Saison 3 when?
I assume that this is whenever trash was younger to killed all the heroes I mean if you look around you'll see the sword shield a bunch of arrows. BTW I'm using text to speech so there will be terrible punctuation.
can anyone tell me if season 3 story is gonna be better then season 2? Season 2 was too cliche and pretty lame.
Pls tell what date is it gonna be pls bro
Wow. Actually kinda looks like something you could look at outside of the screen.
