We learned a few weeks ago that the fourth season of The Rising of the Shield Hero is set to debut July 9 (that’s, like, a week from now!). To keep the hype building, the folks over at Shield Hero Inc. have released some new stills and a 30-second trailer.
Hitoshi Haga is back in the director’s chair for The Rising of the Shield Hero season 4, with Keigo Koyanagi back to oversee scripts at Kinema Citrus. Franziska van Wulfen, Sana Komatsu and Masahiro Suwa return from season 3 as character designers, and Kevin Penkin is once again composing music. Former episode director Takanori Yamamoto is now assistant director.
One Peace books gives this description for the first Rising of the Shield Hero light novel:
Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!
