| This episode is probably my favorite of the season, and it's basically just a filler episode lol. That says a lot about this season. I hope season 3 is a lot better than this, and that DR Movie isn't part of it. A 2-cour season would also be nice, but I'll take what I can get at this point |

| Well that boob animation was smoother than any fight scene this season. Seriously more characters relaxing and taking the time to do these side adventures, that correlate to the actual plot. That's what makes a serious feel more full. If we had more scenes of Ost being an actually party member than maybe I would have cared about her. Seriously them visiting the turtle's grave, sounds dramatic on paper, but in practice with how they handled Ost, the turtle, and the whole season in general it falls flat. Thank God this wasn't a clip show ending I would have dropped my 4 rating to a fucking 2. At least they gave us new animation and showed us what they should have in the first place. |
| Disappointing to see that this final episode was nothing but flashbacks, really. This episode proves that the planning for this season was not great. If the studio knew they had 13 episodes to work with, something like this shouldn't have happened. That said, I am glad they at least somewhat focused on Kizuna's time trapped. However, this is something that should've been focused on back around when she was introduced. Plus, it adds a lot to her character having to go through a traumatic experience like that, and it should've had more emphasis on her struggles of trying to escape as well as keeping her sanity, rather than just her survival skills. Kizuna's character feels half-baked because of it. As for the entire season itself, it's safe to say this has been a big let down. Season 1 was so great, especially narratively. And I think this season lacked that narrative through-line, which made it feel like it was muddled and disorganized. The Spirit Turtle was uncompelling because it lacked any tension and the stakes felt non-existent. Ost was an OK character, but nothing that I really got attached to. So her death and then her remembrance in this episode didn't really hit me emotionally. Then the jump to the other world was just plain weird and was frankly, uninteresting. I can't give this more than a 6. The art and animation took a nosedive, making it even more unpleasant. I guess we can only hope that the third season gets back on track if the criticisms reach the studio and committee so they can make necessary changes. |
| This could have been much more better if it had been integrated into the series itself. |

| And to add salt to the wound, we get this slice of life-esque episode that could have been used for actually adapting the story in a better paced fashion. Really disappointing. I give this 5/10 only because the waifus are UwU |

| Why there is an episode like that? Simple - it is risk management. When you buy TV slots you pay for a batch. If you mess production and have to do recap you would be in a very tough position. You will need to get an extra slot for extra money. Or to cut the story. We all know how that happens. But if you plan 12 episodes and buy 13 slots you are fine. You can "safely" run recap. Or just do a filler episode if everything goes fine. (if doing bad show could be called "fine") It is not a new practice. Some shows were doing similar trick past seasons and this season it was "Spy X Family". (Yes, last episode was outsourced "gap filler". But they were ready to make it into OVA judging from quality.) |
| I'm confused about why this wasn't an OVA but I'm not complaining, this was a really fun episode. Raphtalia looked adorable in all those different clothes.... And suddenly all three in swimsuits YES! I love Kizuna's confidence rocking that bikini. And of course she would call Naofumi a lolicon haha. Kizuna even had her own version of Wilson lol. Poor girl, fortunately she could get out of there. Remembering what happened in the first season, I knew Filo would understand what Ost meant lmao. Oh well, I guess that's it for now. Unlike (many) other people, I don't think the first arc was that bad but it was certainly meh. I didn't care for Ost and Rishia was... there. On the other hand, I really liked the second arc. Rishia was better and the show finally gave me a best girl, Kizuna. I love her so much. And I liked Raphtalia more overall this season. Anyway, looking forward to season 3. |
| Hmm the Mating part with raphy and filo/ ost was just great but everything else felt like filler. but nb |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| A 4 seems a bit harsh, but damn was this season messy without much to enjoy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| A kind of flashback, memories kind of filler episode for the end, well I still like it to get more details about the characters but it's not necessary at all xD Still disappointing season compared to the 1st one, I still find it to be fine especially thanks to the 2nd half but the pacing kinda ruined it sadly, let's hope for S3 to be better |
 |
You are very welcome dude... 😊👍 |
| Just why? What the fuck was the point of this. If you are going to show scenes from earlier parts of the story how about you show them when they are actually fucking happening? Crazy concept but then the final episode would actually contain the resolution to the arc. |
| WILSOOOOOOOONNNNNN This episode, whatever it was, was the best episode of the season for me and was actually somewhat enjoyable. I liked the ED, but not much else. I'll still be adding season 3 to the PTW list mainly because it's still a big title and I want to stay in the loop, but I believe it will get better than this. 3/10 |

| Not a bad ending, considering how strong the last episode in terms of wrapping things up. I thought this episode would botch things further, well it didn't with reminiscing that we never saw throughout the series. Most primarily we got Kizuna's screentime as a great takeaway, which made for some lively bracing. The series needed Kizuna's character thanks to its humdrum approach throughout. Generally speaking, this wasn't the best season. Even So, I am glad they focus a little on Raphtalia's development although brief that was. I'm feeling the series has told what it wanted from the first season, everything here out was just filler, and everything henceforth is just pushing it unless they bring out the go back to Japan card. |

| This didn't feel like an ending but alright. Also Ost doing some grade A trolling with Rishia, Raphtalia and Filo. Weird Filo knows what the word "mating" is but not what that means exactly |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| This season has come to an end and so now my Thursday mornings will be a bit emptier but also less stressful as I won't be seeing any more Shield hero hate online getting my BP up. The season pretty much ended with the last episode so this one gave Ost a proper send off and showed some fun and not so fun moments along the trip to the other world. It even showed that though Kyou was an asshat, some moments which Yomogi had shared with him show that they truly were friends even if he had been manipulating her all along. |
TsutanaiFuun said: Man I just can't get over how cute Raph-chan is with it's cute little Raph noises. And look at smol Raphtalia all dressed up, so cute.  But Kizuna calling Naofumi a lolicon lmao. Bro look at Raph-chan joining his smol little hands together AAAA so cute Bruh who taught Filo the concept of mating. Pretty good episode overall, a lot better than previous episodes. 5/5. This had the ending season feels too, liked it. Hoping Season 3 is at least better than this season. Those illustratiosn would make for good wallpapers but the illustrator watermark ruins it. 7/10 overall because of my emotional attachment to this anime and it's characters which was possible due to Season 1, otherwise I wouldn't rate this more than 5. the rating at the end is on point because I gave the same for the exact same reason. |
| What a weird season. Although the first season had some rather serious issues at least it knew what kind of story it wanted to tell. This one just seems to be throwing stuff at the wall to see if anything sticks: Sudden superboss appearance? Reset the characters' levels? Shuffled loyalties? Random psycho puppetmaster? Just very meh all around. |
| This is the most "fuck you I liked it" non guilty pleasure show I've ever watched. I know what the problems with it are, but I still loved every minute. Not perfect but I'm happy we get more. |
| I think this season answered a bit of the mystery about the waves and the heroes from the other world, but somewhere along the way I forgot what this story is about and what Naofumi wants to achieve. |
| I REALLY hope season 3 of Shield Hero isn’t a collection of PowerPoint slides like this season was. There’s still time to redeem themselves. 🙏 First step to save the series… get rid of Masato Jinbo and bring on somebody like Masaharu Watanabe. Not just that, at this point I think JC Staff could do a better job than Kinema Citrus at animation. (and they’re a more realistic option than a Wit Studio, etc.). PLEASE season 3 start strong. |

| Like when the director has an extra episode to fix pacing issues and give a more organic closure to the current arc but instead decides to focused the supposed "finale" on swimsuit fanservice and Raphtalia learning what coitus is. P R I O R I T I E S Honestly, it's surprising how they managed to reach a whole new low after an already horrendous first season. Story progression was rushed to oblivion, side characters got dumber than usual, villains got more retarded and annoying than usual, inconsistencies in both story and character actions, etc. 2/10 - Not gonna lie, I really wanted to rate this garbage a 1/10 but OST (Penkin's ost, not the damn character) and Kizuna made me think otherwise. Fucking Wilson reference made me laugh harder than I would like to admit. |
| Whoa, the final episode was a filler recap episode, as if this season wasn't already bad enough. Huge disappointment . Not going to watch the 3rd season Final score 5/10 |
 |
| Imo this episode was better than Turtle Arc but unfortunately it was just a recap |
 |
| overall this final ep was cute but man this season as a whole while it wasnt all bad i just hated how things was changed and how at times the animation and art was just really bad especially compared to season 1 but even so i still enjoyed the season not as much as season 1 but still good to say the least now i can only hope season 3 is done better back to the quality of season 1 heres hoping! |
