Madkid debuts at Crunchyroll Expo

The Rising of the Shield Hero has turned out to be one of the biggest hit anime of 2019 so far and as a result, Crunchyroll is celebrating it this year at Crunchyroll Expo. They have several people involved with the show attending this event including five-member pop group Madkid who provided the opening to both halves of the show. The expo will kick off Thursday night August 28 and is set to run all weekend to September 1.

The Rising of the Shield Hero is about a boy who is whisked away to another world wherein he is one of four legendary heroes. Each hero has a special weapon and protagonist Naofumi is cursed with the shield, which has a bad reputation so he is forced to overcome a lot on his own.
