The second series composition was handled by Keigo Koyanagi and the characters were designed by Masahiro Suwa. Kevin Penkin composed the music.

The anime revolves around the story of an easygoing Japanese youth, Naofumi Iwatani. He would be called into a parallel world along with Raphtalia, and Filo from parallel universes to become the world's Cardinal Heroes and fight inter-dimensional hordes of monsters called Waves.

In The Rising of the Shield Hero, we saw the Japanese protagonist Naofumi Iwatani and his friend growing up. The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 will show that they remember everything they learned from the previous season.
