Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Season 3

Though he has successfully repelled the latest Wave of Catastrophe, Naofumi Iwatani—the Shield Hero—has no time to rest. Naofumi is spurred back into action when Queen Mirelia Q Melromarc tells him that the three other Cardinal Heroes have disappeared without a trace, and she tasks him with finding them.

With no clues regarding their whereabouts, Naofumi tackles a more pressing issue: the worsening slave trade of demi-humans. Determined to right this injustice, he and his friends find their way to Zeltoble, the country of mercenaries, where the illegal sale of demi-humans has become a lucrative business. To gather money to free the slaves, Naofumi and his comrades disguise themselves and take part in underground coliseum brawls, purposely throwing matches to manipulate the odds and eventually secure an enormous payout. However, with the threat of another Wave of Catastrophe looming on the horizon, the Shield Hero must stick to his mission of finding the missing heroes if he wants to protect those he loves.

Well, good news everyone ! A slight improvement in animation . Baby steps,but we are getting there. Maybe in season 4 we'll get something even better.I do hope so myself. Now.... The story.... Honestly, contrary to what the masses are telling you, i honestly think story-wise season 3 is the worst . Simply because it reuses some plot points both from season 1 and season 2, before gettin to the actually new stuff. A second sacred beast just after the first went down ? And so much time of respite between them with no more waves? Ehhh.... ? Honestly i wished for the underground arena ... thing to last more as well. Although it recovers after that with more lore on the parralel worlds. Wanted to get more info on those 2 fellas .Also ... the sole survivor of an entire world... Big stuff . And showing that sometimes playing hero isn't really favorable , with Myne messing with all the other heroes and all, nice ! But honestly... i didn't want to see any sort of redemption from these punks. Would've made a far more compelling point to join forces with heroes from other worlds, and forget about the ones in their world. I guess that's a negative for the other worlds being introduced heh.... Even still, everything else was still good, and i still can't wait for the next season, so they indeed recovered.

Mixed Feelings

- The decline of the Shield
It's absolutely terrible to see a star anime slowly falling into the abyss. And since it's not that bad for the first few episodes, you might even enjoy to renew contact with the characters and the story. For a time.
Animation and lighting effects are slightly better. And ... well, that's about it. Everything else seems to have lost its edge, the hard way.
The characters drive and motivation is now an old joke. Even worse, the scenario seems to have lost its way, and the whole "save the world" mojo starts with saving the heroes (the shielded one included) from ... their own bottomless idiocy. I should also mention how incredibly stupid the side story about Raphtalia sound like, coming out of nowhere. This has to be the worst transition ever.
To me, this season is a complete disaster, but I'm still expecting better things in the next one.
Hopefully, this can't be that bad a second time ... right ?

Not Recommended

Great animation and voice acting attempting to rescue a story that continues to get weaker and weaker. That's how this show feels at this point.
Not actually punishing or killing Malty in Season 1 has turned this into some kind of weekly team-rocket ridiculous villain-of-the-week show. Instead of focusing an a pretty interesting world and storyline, we keep sticking with this pathetic cast of side characters that all need redemptions arcs instead of getting abandoned as they should have been

The first season showed so much potential with the gritty revenge plotline, but sadly it never goes back to those heights and only seems to grow more ... generic as time goes on.

Props to the animators and voice actors to keep it at this quality level, the story alone would've been a 3/10
