  • The Rising of the Shield Hero

    I’m an enjoyer of isekai trash so when I saw Shield Hero at an 8 on MAL, and being generally well regarded, I expected it to be pretty solid. Instead it felt like every time something interesting was about to happen the author took the most boring route possible. Add to that the ‘grade school’ nature of some of the plot and I found it to be a miserable watch.



  • Two things not mentioned it that article:

    1. Why would anyone want to fight for a country that is so callously disinterested in the welfare of it’s citizens?

    2. In the last quarter-century it has become extremely apparent that the US Military is not the “global force for good” that it wants to portray itself as. Most young people probably aren’t interested in joining up to commit war crimes in the name of making money for the military industrial complex.
