Rising of the shield hero Season 3 Cast Comments
Continuing the worldview of the first and second seasons directed by Tadashi Towa, the third season will feature new episodes and dramas, and by depicting the growth of the characters and how they face new challenges, the appeal and depth of the story will be further enhanced. I want to withdraw. looking forward to it.
In collaboration with Sana Komatsu (character designer)
“Franziska, we will design characters that will appear in the third season.
I carefully express the nuances of the original design and draw while worrying every day so that I can take over the animation version design that Mr. Suwa built in the first and second seasons as much as possible.
Just like Naofumi fights with his friends, a large number of staff are working together to produce the third season. Many new characters will appear, and the story will become even more interesting, so please look forward to it!”

Conclusion
Changing directors will not have any impact on the anime if the production team is not given enough time to prepare the source material.
Another point they must make sure of is that the source material should be covered completely. Season 1 was covered at a good pace but it looked like Season 2 was rushed.
