The anime’s main staff has also been announced
The first trailer for The Rising of the Shield Hero, Season 4 has just been released via the anime’s official X account.
Along with the typical animated scenes from the upcoming new season featuring Naomfumi, Raphtalia, Filo and others, we also get a lovely montage of rough sketches of some of the characters.
The trailer also plays a snippet of the Season 4 opening theme song — ‘Resolution‘ by boy band MADKID — and reveals the main staff.
MADKID, of course, provided theme songs for all three of the anime’s previous seasons. Although, honestly, from the snippet, their latest is a bit of a letdown it seems.
A cute live event visual featuring the main characters shown in a more modern setting was also released.
