The first in the new 4th season of this, still rising isekai series!
In the last season's finale, Naofumi's village is under attack by a group of assassins that aimed to take raphtalia's life. After the battle, Naofumi learns that the assassins come from the isolationist country of Q'tenlo, also the homeland of raphtalia's parents.
They fought to eliminate raphtalia, as donning her kimono was seen as a challenge to occupy the throne of said country. Enraged, Naofumi declares war on said country, but to get there, they must first they must pass through the country of Siltvelt, the country of demihumans that worships the shield hero. What sort of challenges and intrigue will Naofumi face in a country that would venerate him as if he were a god?
Stay tuned at 5am for the release of the first episode!

This crap is back again? Jesus.
I liked S1, but it has been diving full speed downwards ever since.

>author still to busy writing his spear redo to release a new volume
Will the LN ever finish?

That's a good looking hand.

season 2 and 3 were complete ass so no thanks

>>280394823
The thread for what? Shilling your korean and chinese isekaislop? You can clearly see this is a japanese anime thread

>>280395107
I hate stories that go nowhere.
And I especially hate stories that keep going back to the same shit over and over.
And I hate it even more when the way they do it is completely fucking retarded.

>>280394203 (OP)
>assassins that aimed to take raphtalia's life.
Right, she's a princess and they were always fallowed by furry ninjas that are separate from regular ninjas who only waited for the right moment to kill Raphtalia and never intervened while she was sold into slavery or anything ever and where just waiting for her to put on a kimono so they can kill her.

I love my daughter so much

I was expecting 12 episodes of qten-lo ninja namek, so im thrilled to see demihuman kingdom getting a little time, even if this is all a diversion from the phoenix plot, which is a diversion from the waves plot.
I trust lion bro

The OP is pretty good. Speaking of OP we see the staff hero and the king. So is his redemption arc in this season?

>>280395360
>a diversion from the waves plot.
The waves aren't gonna matter much anymore is it? It's like it's been postponed indefinitely

>>280394785
Raphtalia does. Too bad she's been daughterzoned. Hard.

LOLICON HERO

>>280395049
Nice cock, dude.

Bitch v2?

>>280395398
if they can be paused then they don't matter. And naofumis child slave army is more than enough to handle what we've seen come out of them

that... is a legitimately really cool shot.
coming from rising of the shit hero.
what the fuck is going on.

Stop trying to hit me and HIT me!

Why doesn't she just open her eyes

>>280395865
She's asian

SEX with Atla

>>280395830
That one is artifacting quite a bit.

>>280395830
Made this one instead.

Watching this shit once every few years is fucking tiresome, I don't remember a thing about the previous season, the last one is the best I can do

Seeing Raphtalia undersell herself like this is soul crushing. The whole season is supposed to be for her sake

Who asked for another season of this shite?

>>280395964
>>280395999
cranking up the bitrate, motion shouldn't look so bad

>>280396193

So does Naofumi fuck anyone in the end? Does he go back to earth?

>>280396193
I did

I want Atla to poke my dick

>>280396204
>>280396475
What's wrong with you, anon?

>>280396204
>>280396475
That's nice of you, anons.

>>280396474
Yes to both in the WN, same is going to happen in the LN if the new volumes are ever released...

I get the hate for the second season, but why the hate on the third season?

>>280396721
Who's he fucking? Raph or multiple woman? Does he have children?

>>280396766
Those are retards who are still buttblasted mad that naofumi didn't kill bitch and they take it out on the series ever since

>>280394968
At this point I doubt it will ever come out

>>280396773
In the WN at least Raphtalia, Melty and Imia(mole demihuman) are confirmed to have children with him. Then in the spear WN Both larsa(panda demihuman) and Gaelion's actual daughter(much to motoyasu's disapproval) have joined in.

oh shit i forgot that last season ended on a cliffhanger with Battletoads ninjas kidnapping the Coon because she was ACKSHULLY the Imperial Princess of Not-China all along!

Made some stitches.

Does Atla just fucking die or something?

>>280394915
I might just do the same, but goddamn just I when I thought I found a tolerable isekai show, and it just kept getting worse and worse.

Last stitch.

>>280397462
yes ;.;

>when a shit series is bloatmaxxing

>>280397462
Yes. In fact, it should happen this season

>>280397626
Thanks for the stitches anon!

>>280397738
Ah hell. Guess I might as well just drop this for good if they're just going to kill her off.

>>280397738
Are they going to bring her back?

>>280394971
>nice backgrounds
>shitty anything else

>>280398031
She became Naofumi's shield like she wanted ever since he cured her

What's the bitch's issue? Wouldn't it be easier if they just left Raphtalia alone?

people do really be watching this garbage lmao

Nice backgrounds

>>280397738
oh boy, this gonna suck

sad cock

>cane hero in the opening
Hype? If it happens the pace is gonna be wild

>>280397074
gradients kinda suck

>>280399904
Not ganna happen this season.
I saw somewhere that this season is adapting vol 13 and 14. THAT scene happens in 15

>>280395502
Let me guess. He will beat this new villain and then spare her life just for her to bite him in the ass later again?

7 minutes in and my uncare levels are pretty high. Starting with the 3d dragon plaguing the previous season and reminding of the 3d turtle right away. And all those randos and lit. whos going around. Is anything interesting supposed to happen in the season? I'm not very optimistic.

>>280397012
Those ninjas have been watching her for her entire life, waiting for the moment she puts on the robes so they can take action.
That family behind her? Ninjas from not-japan watching her every move.

>>280400690
>Is anything interesting supposed to happen in the season?
Atla will establish herself as best girl in this Siltvelt arc.

Orca sex

What purpose did the little coon serve again, I don't remember why they keep it around or why it was a thing in the first place

>>280395421
>blocking Filo's ears
I thought Raphtalia didn't know anything about adult stuff

If Fitoria is so strong why doesn't she do anything?

>>280397738
The only reason why I can't call this a 100% plagio, even though it copied the multiple heroes, the cursed rage weapon, the empty husk hero who lost to her weapon corruption, the trash king, MC only able to trust slaves, the super monster whose real job was to stop the invasion from foreign worlds, the 2 gods faction, the whole war being a ploy from the world destroying god faction in order to incarnate, mc and main girl going back to Earth then returning after becoming gods and joining the god faction that wants to protect worlds instead of destroying them..

>>280399013
Yes

>>280395204
What happens if she opens her eyes?

>>280404490
Copy of what?

>>280400624
She gets smashed to death by her own great great great great grandma's hammer using Raphtalia's own body.

>>280405110
Eien no Aselia.
The plot is almost the same.
The game starts with MC getting isekaied to another world with a legendary weapon.
Trash king treats him like shit.
MC is forced to fight wars.
MC lives with Spirits who are treated as subhumans and they are the only ones the MC can trust.
In one battle, MC got so angry that he unlocked a new power from his sword, but overusing it makes him lose his mind to rage (bad ending).
There are other isekaied heroes with their legendary weapons that has their own evil power up. One of them wasn't able to control her sword and ended up becoming like Itsuki..
One of the mission is to defeat a dragon so they can farm a huge amount of mana (exp equivalent). Near the end is revealed that the dragons you hunt in those missions exist to stop gods from invading their world.
The mana that is released when spirits and dragon dies helps the gods from coming.
Gods are so strong that they can't fully incarnate if the world is too weak, the whole war is a ploy by them in order to incarnate a fragment of themselves.
Incarnated gods defeat the MC, but he survives because he gets sent back to his world together with the main girl. Main girl is curious and surprised about Earth.
MC and main girl decides to return to the isekai to protect their friends.
MC and main girl becomes gods under the guidance of another god.
Its revealed that there are 2 gods factions fighting. One faction wants to devour the worlds in order to return everything to normal (1 single world) and the other faction wants to protect the new worlds.
MC and main girl wins against the world devourer gods kicking them out of the isekai.
MC and main girl joins the world protecting isekai..

>>280405956
MC and main girl joins the world protecting gods faction in an eternal war against the world devourer gods faction.

>>280406030
I also forget to say that the trash king has a good daughter who is not racist and eventually repalces him as the ruler of her kingdom.

Is this the most undeserved S4 in the history of anime?

>>280404898
She's a big girl

>>280397410
Gotta say, Siltvelt looks quite mediterranean

>>280403384
It will be very painful. Also it will just regrow, like instantly.

>>280403384
You monster

>>280400557
>I saw somewhere
this literally was a guess from a rando
we know it's gonna have volumes 13 and 14 from concept art
not sure if we know the exact number of episodes, giving Trash so much time in the opening would be kinda lame if we end at volume 14

>>280406136
Reddit zero is

>>280406136
It will get good in S6 when worldbuilding starts I promise

>>280404023
Because she doesn't want to.

>>280406136
You say this while we have kanojo okarishimasu s4 airing in the same season

>>280394203 (OP)
Just a reminder that the author will be killed for killing best girl Atla

>>280396446
>>280395401
>>280395386
I want to drop this series, but this orca is preventing me from doing it.

>>280404490
>>280405956
I guess maybe kinda similar to the WN, but we don't know if the LN is gonna be this way

should I try watching the anime again, I started getting a bit bored of the novel and manga when they were chasing the giant turtle

>>280407245
No

>>280405956
Picked up

looked pretty nice

>>280395259
SNIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFF

>>280407011
drop it and leave, the rorqual doesn't bring anything to the tranime anyway

>>280395068
Look at her ahoge antennas

>>280407138
Kinda similar it's an understatement.

>>280408387
I guess I can just save the screencaps of her then

>>280406739
What a bitch

I watched it.

>>280395107

>>280410861
Oh right, she CAN do that.

>>280394203 (OP)
Are we making it to ninja land or not??

>>280412818
yeah, first they have to pass through furry constatinople

>>280394203 (OP)
I want Naofumi to take Atla as his wife and make an ungodly amount of babies with her. Im sad

This show has the best lolis no wonder motoyasu is eternal comic relief now

>>280413099
It's not the lolis but the birds who he loves. They can end up looking like adults too.

I've been watching this because of sunk cost but it's amazing that the series has gone on for so long when it's obvious that the author has just been making shit up without any plan past the first arc.

>>280394968
People really like Spear?

I have forgotten where the anime left off. I can't recall if we already passed the manga or not. I can't recall when the last chapter came out.
Very nice cloud animation.
The backgrounds are very nice looking.
Best bird has arrived.
OP is interesting visually but the song is not for me.
Cute coon.
Always funny the blind tigress just destroys her brother in combat ever time.
There's something funny about Naofumi taking is harem of demigirls and tigerboy to the demi country.
Forgot how based spear was.
I can see why CG centaurs were all in full armor. Makes it easy to copy paste them without it standing out too much.
Shut the lion down in a hurry.
Feels like we'll be spending several episodes stuck here.
I've always hated the animal face design that some series take with demihumans. At least it's not as bad as other series where it's just fucking animals doing people things.

>>280413141
Do you think they need to be in birdform to have sex?

>>280394755
Needs to have her pantsu removed

>>280399465
Kek i thought i was the only one who noticed this

People still care about shield hero? It dropped the ball fatally in the second season. How did it even get a fourth? Or a third, for that matter.

>>280397738
Fuck.
FUCK.
She's the only reason I'm watching this trash now.

>>280414195
Yes

>>280413605
Every new season I feel I'm watching a complete different show.
I almost forgot what this show was about in first place.
What happened with the raids? Well, I guess at least that still kind of works on the background.

But they never adressed why the heroes of the other world were trying to destroy the world right? The fan lady moved from being an evil boss raid to being isekai girl friend and scythe hero friend but they never adressed why they trying to destroy shield's hero isekai

Now it seemed to go on a derailed trip to another not japan nekomimi island and instead they seem stuck into zootopia game of thrones now.

There is also the whole background story of melomarc king that seemed just a mediocre evil king but now it seems there is an entire plotline revolving him being some sort of hero wizard?

I'm not mad nor angry nor happy I'm just...lost. Can we close some plotline before moving to another please?

>>280396896
>the mole
seriously? It evolves or something?

>>280414943
You don't have to be smart to understand why they raid other worlds.
If the monsters from waves comes from a different world, the smart way to solve it is by destroying that world.

>>280407138
Atla didn't die in the WN.
LN is worse if true.

>>280414943
EVERYTHING is either foreshadowed or connected in some way.

>>280415089
There are items that allow beastmen to transform into demihuman mode. But i'm sure they didn't use it when they did it.

>>280394203 (OP)
>ANOTHER not-Japan arc
pass

>>280415200
If what is true?

>>280415200
Atla DID die in the WN though? The pheonix fight was way harder in the LN.

>>280414943
I might watch this season. Game of thrones seems more interesting than turtle namek, that sucked.

>>280415200
Atla died in the WN, the author just made some shitty excuse to bring her back in Japan so she can marry Naofumi's Earth incarnation.

>>280415931
Did you forget the part where Naofumi did something forbidden by having his shield absorb Atla's body? There is a reason why she stuck around in some form or other.

>>280416252
I wonder is the anime is gonna do that. Didn't he also absorb Ost into his shield but not in the anime?

>>280416252
Supposedly the souls of the dead during a battle against a guardian beast would power the barrier to block off the waves, but since atla had just died, her soul was able to enter the shield at least before she was taken by the guardian beast.
The barrier with the tortoise lasted a few months with the energy it was able to acquire from killing so many, yet the pheonix only killed so little that it didn't last as long.

>>280416341
Ost IS there. we'll probably take a 5th season to see her again, probably.

>>280400704

>>280415346
>EVERYTHING is either foreshadowed or connected in some way.
I don't doubt it, but is hard to keep track when you anime only and there is a season every few years

>>280416677
Yeah it makes more sens in the novels because there's more info and context.

This arc has one of the strongest characters in the LN btw

>>280414943
>I almost forgot what this show was about in first place.
>What happened with the raids? Well, I guess at least that still kind of works on the background.
This show is about stopping the waves/raids and it still is, but they're focusing on other issues right now.
>But they never adressed why the heroes of the other world were trying to destroy the world right? The fan lady moved from being an evil boss raid to being isekai girl friend and scythe hero friend but they never adressed why they trying to destroy shield's hero isekai
They were trying to destroy shield hero's world to save their world from being destroyed. They turned good because Naofumi helped them.
>There is also the whole background story of melomarc king that seemed just a mediocre evil king but now it seems there is an entire plotline revolving him being some sort of hero wizard?
Yes, the king was a hero, but the author didn't come up with that until later.

>>280416962
Who? Isn't the strongest character either Fitoria or S'yne's sister?

>>280408387
Thank you for this, I almost thought about coming back (dropped S2) after finding out about this semen demon
Does Naofumi have sex?

>>280417933
Not in the LN.
Offscreen in the WN.
Why so many are interested whether another dude had sex or not?

>>280418132
romance is my favorite part of isekai power fantasies

>>280417340
I would assume it's Raphtalia's ancestor

>>280418496
I didn't think she would be THAT strong

>>280415931
>>280416252
>went into shield
I consider that "not dying" as she's still around.
Especially factoring in >something happened and she returned to normal

>>280418132
>Why so many are interested whether another dude had sex or not?
It's not so much "DID MY BRO SCORE?" or even "DID I, BY VIRTUE OF MY SELF INSERT MR. PARANOID MISOGYNIST, SCORE?!", as much as "did the author have the gumption to actually write a (semi) satisfactory resolution to the clearly romantic subplots he himself put into the work?"
Even if it's as something as simple as "timeskp 5 years, we see the hero and companions getting together to reminiscence / hold a small get together and look here's some of their children".
The question of "SEXO?!" is thus usually hand-in-hand with "does the story I've invested time and attention to have a satisfying ending?"

>>280419181
I don't. We don't really see her anymore, and she's just kinda watching over him from beyond the grave

>>280419339
Also doing live commentary with ost during the sidestories, they havent been translated yet...

>>280394203 (OP)
>S4
Wtf

I forgot pretty much everything going into season 3, lets see if I forgot pretty much everything going into season 4

>>280420284
The Rising of the Shield Hero == the rise from zero in memory.

>>280420284
naofumi enslaved tons of children in s3 but only a couple were worth enough to keep for s4

>Atla still doesn't open her god damned eyes
YOU ARE NOT BROCK. OPEN THEM PEEPERS, GIRL.

Okay, I was scared when we got to that throne room that they were going to dump 15 new names and faces to remember

>>280415931
