If you wanted to check out future episodes of The Rising of the Shield Hero (along with the future release of its English dub), you’ll need to stream it with Crunchyroll. You can find the first season of the anime there as well, and Crunchyroll describes the series as such, ย “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.ย 

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?” But what do you think?ย
