I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job

Introduction

Dreaming of becoming a hero and vanquishing the Demon King, Raul Chaser enters the Hero Training Program in pursuit of his ambition. However, when the Demon King is defeated and peace returns to the world, the Hero Training Program is suspended indefinitely, making it impossible for anyone to become a hero. Two years later, Raul reluctantly works at a small electronics store called Magic Shop Leon. Though the former hero-in-training is plagued by the mundanity of working in retail, everything changes with the arrival of a new hire. Appearing at first to be just a boy with good looks, "he" turns out to be a female demon by the name of Fino Bloodstone. She is not just any old demon either—Raul's new coworker is in fact the daughter of the late Demon King! Handed the responsibility of training this eccentric new employee, Raul soon finds his life becoming livelier than it ever was before. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

*Short and spoiler free* Are you a single, sexually deprived male who revels in watching cheap angles of the breasts and underwears of underaged animated girls? Then great, because this anime is perfect for you! The women are all dense, because how else would an "ecchi" work? Good for you though, because you already can’t handle strong women. They’re also one dimensional characters, because of course, all introspection has to be done by our beloved hero. Speaking of whom, Raul is an absolute darling and a complete gentleman (not being sarcastic). After all, he did aspire to be a hero! He was the saving grace of the anime. Wish we had more men like him in the real world instead of, you know, the pervs enjoying the “fan service” in this anime. Comparisons with Hatarakou Maou Sama (The De…

I personally wont be saying anything here so lets get right into it Story: Raul is a hero who wanted to defeat the demon lord but before he even could cause he had too take a hero exam the demon was defeated so that means the world didn't need hero's and the academy was suspended indefinitely because of it so than 2 years later Raul ends up working in magic shop but also too his surprise a new employee comes who else the demon lord daughter but he though it was a guy but after undressing her (for a legit reason) it ends up being a girl and now only he knows and must keep that a secret from everyone else as well Art: art was very good nothing wrong with it as usual Sound: this was very good both the OP and the ED was really good Character: Now with this i only focus on main character so…

Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita. or Yuushibu for short is by no stretch of the imagination a masterpiece. With that being said, it is also by no means without its merits. Yuushibu is fine; in fact, in places it’s even good. It plays to the strengths of its premise just enough to be considered fun, and that’s ok—allow me to explain why: The story of Yuushibu follows Raul Chaser: a would-be hero, if not for the fact that the Demon Lord has already been defeated. With his dreams crushed, and him in need of finding a way to make ends meet, Raul finds himself working for a magic shop, which is humorously setup to parody that of a modern day, Japanese electronics store. It is at this point that many people may draw a comparison with Hataraku Maou-sama! an…

Oh Hello there, I bet you're wondering why the 10/10 rating. Well thats because... well... I guess you got me there. Honestly, Im not under the delusion that this show is more than a solid 7/10, but there's something about it that just makes me smile. More specifically, theres something about a man and his harem CRASHING THE ENTERPRISE ON THE SIDE OF MOUNT DOOM that just makes me smile. Yes, my fellow Trekkies, this ones for you. Aside from that, unfortunately, theres really nothing here you haven't seen before. Once again, the devil is a part-timer, and with the exception of Raul's sister and ACTUAL CAPTAIN PICARD, nothing and no one really stands out. This show's selling point, aside from the glorious star trek references, is mainly a relatable premise; not everyone can be heroes, so s…

I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job Ecchi ecchi fun. I Couldn't Become a Hero is a pretty fun show about a guy who, as the title says, who couldn't become a hero. He works in a magic item store, reluctantly of course, when a new girl appears with a resume in hand and wants to work at the same store. The new girl, named Fino, has a really interesting background, so interesting that it can change the course of the world! The story, for the most part is a very fun slice of life about working in a retail store when competition emerges, forcing everyone to work harder to make the store more known and popular. It's not until the last 3-4 episodes where a plot appears from quite literally no where and changes the direction of the anime. The girls, Fino, Elsa, Airi,…

For some time now, I have maintained a strict no-dropping stuff policy and an always follow recommendations one, and I had never regretted that decision. Unfortunately, Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita. made me hate myself for holding that ideal. Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita. (I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job.) is an anime produced by Asread and directed by Kinji Yoshimoto (Genshiken 2, Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai). It is the adaptation of the light novel series of the same name. While the premise may give hints of originality, the rest of the story does not present any whatsoever. Presenting almost no real story, the story focus on the day-to-day lives on the workers of the sh…

Yuushibu I thought this was going to be good but i found myself to be bored for the most part of the anime and i wanted to drop it but i never drop an anime, this could have been of 50 episodes and i would go through that torture just to complete it. Story At first i thought this was going to be very good because of the first minutes, where there is a fight scene but then, oh man i expected that because i read the synopsis and knew it was going to be like it was, but they didn't do it well, they failed at bringing a story after that but what is there was fine. Art & Animation It was very good, it was an ecchi after all, they have to make details on the bodies, the background landscape was good, smooth. Sound it was forgettable, but for the most part was fine, the voice acting was ok. C…

Yuushibu is an Ecchi/Comedy anime with some minor action and romance type aspects. While the premise is similar to The Devil is a Part Timer, the focus of the shows are not. The story is simple. Raul Chaser is working at a magic items store (instead of electricity things are run by magic) but his real dream is to be a hero. However, because the demon lord was defeated there is no need for them anymore. One day a "guy" walks into the store and applies... this "guy" happens to be the demon lords kid. Okay, the "guy" is really a girl named Fino, the demon lords daughter. One thing this anime does very well is executing the premise. Each episode the characters (mostly Fino) learns something about her job or life outside the demon realm in general. At the same time... it kind of reflects like…

*Muhahahahah* Disclaimer: This is a light-hearted series so seriously don't expect serious stuff. It is difficult to write about this anime without any spoilers but for people who enjoy comedy and can ignore the ecchi this series will be very funny. The characters were funny and the harem concept was not overdone or annoying. If you love Fino(or Phino) and Raul you ll love the show. It seemed that only 2 characters were truly given importance in this show and the rest were in supporting roles though they had hints of such potential. The idea is similar to Devil is a part timer(which is amazing) but I would recommend this series if you can ignore the lewdness(you wont regret it as long as you Dont think/analyze it too much)

If you like boobs jiggling all over the place, harems, and no story, this was MADE for you. I figured that it would be something like 'Hataraku Maou-Sama!', it wasn't. It was like they took that already sub-par anime, blended it, then skimmed all of the fluffy goodness that made it it, then dumped the rest in a bucket labeled 'bad anime'. I have got to say, I don't remember much from this anime (since I watched it quite a while back), but I don't remember crap about the main character. I feel like in order to have a good show, the main character has got to be at least memorable. I do remember the love interest however: she had a good design and was a well rounded character; but, those last few episodes, they just pissed me off. Why? Why the heck did they decide part-way through that it act…

I'm tempted to give it a really good, but in reality it's really only good towards the beginning and then at the end. I feel like it could have been improved if they stretched the series out more. Despite a few quirks, Fino came off as too sweet for a Demon Lord's daughter and Raul warmed up to her too quickly. I enjoyed the first 3 episodes, tolerated episodes 4-10 (a large serving of slice of life), and pretty much enjoyed 11 and 12. If you liked episode 1, you'll probably like the ending scenes. Personally, my favorite part was seeing Raul interact with his former Yuusha friends and then let off a mad laugh in episode 11. Fino can also be fun at times. She's naturally sweet and smiles, but when Raul tells her to smile at customers, she does and starts uncontrollably letting off an "evil…

You know those "Power of Love/Friendship!" type animes, where that sort of thing conquers the the bad guy or makes someone have a change of heart? Well, replace that Love/Friendship with "We just love working here at a failing chain appliance store even though we had to give up on our dreams!" Yeah, it's the depressing thing known as Slice of Life taken to a realistic extreme, but they make the characters happy that they're in a soul crushing dead-end job. It's like this was designed to tell Otaku to get a job. My overall score for this is about a 4.5/10. The artwork isn't bad, and some of the comedy is cute, but you wont actually laugh at any of it because nothing in this anime is original or than the main thing of "The Demon Lord's daughter is working at the store with an ex-hero i…

Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita (Geez what a long name) Is about a guy named Raul which was supposedly a hero. He lost his job as a hero as the demon king died, so what did Raul do? Well he found a job at a electronic shop of course, and of course the daughter of the dead demon king shows up. Story : 7 There wasnt really some super plot going on, mostly comedy and some romance, you might catch a glimps of some action aswell, but just your usual romcom Art : 9 The art was great! The characters looks awesome, lots of details were put into the characters Sound : 8 Really good sounds, there was some fail moments with the sound, but usually perfect. The Intro and Outtro were really catchy and awesome Character : 9 There was some character developments…

Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore we Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita (this is a mouthful!), or simply, Yusibu, is a rather...interesting addition to the demon king genre of anime. I have not seen a more ridiculously long title as this since Noucome, so I thought that I would give it a try. Here's my review. (The review is 10% off if you're the first person to read it.) Story (7.43/10): Have you ever played an RPG game before that involves you, the player, as a hero, questing and adventuring to go and defeat the dark evil of the realm? (Games like: Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem.) After you finish the game, a game over appears after completing it, right? And without a second thought, you go about your way, happy that you conquered the evil of that world. But do you ever thin…

Yusibu is a decent ecchi anime that has many fantasy elements. At its core, Yusibu relies on the formula of Beverly Hillbillies and takes a person from a faraway place with different customs and understandings and puts them in a modern setting where hilarity ensues. Make the modern setting a fantasy world where magic equals the technology you see in the real world and have the strange newcomer be the daughter of the demon lord, sprinkle in some ecchi for some added spice and you have yourself a show. That said, Yusibu is not a bad show, and I would even call it a great show at the beginning, but it does falter at the end so I must declare it just a good show. The main characters are Raul Chaser and Fino Bloodstone. Raul Chaser is a man who dreamed of being a hero but that particular caree…

Putting it bluntly, this anime is like a strange mix of Nyarko-san Another Crawling Chaos and Hataraku Maou-sama! I took advice and gave this anime a shot. What can I say? Over-all its actually an enjoyable watch if you can handle fan service. (Spoiler Free) Story - The story was not so original because Hataraku Maou-sama! already pulled off something like this. But, with the fan service and the way the setting was set gave a new spin on it. What I really wished for most was the story to elaborate a bit more on the pasts of Raul and Fino. Art - I was a bit skeptical at first, but then it really grew on me. Colorful and really cool at certain points. Very bouncy and raunchy at times though! Sound - Some of the music was actually very catchy, like the violin in some of the fighting scene…

Anyone who says this series is a clone of hataraku maou-sama only read the synopsis then got their fandom pitch forks out. It's a similar concept, but the way it's written is completely different. It is a ridiculous amount of ecchi, but that's ok, it's what they were going for, infact I actually started to laugh every time I saw the artists put jiggle motion emphasis on the breasts. It has a decent sense of comedy, the story is well done in my opinion (No seriously, if you think it's a copy of hataraku maou-sama commit seppuku) So generally I liked it, people will rate poorly because it has some perverse scenes but it's not that bad, I enjoyed the series and I wish there were more episodes.

HA!HA!HA! Another very pathetic anime has finished, and quite frankly, it is the supposed Fino and Rau arc that I'm into it and not the whole anime, so I'm ain't gonna fuck around and just present my ratings for each of this anime's category. Very good 8. Story- Frankly it's very good enough for a 10 year old and below.....now,now it is the story that I'm referring to, we'll get to the fan-service later on, it is basically a typical twisted fairy tale about a group of wash-out warriors and enemies where the war between them is over and it is time to get back to basic living kind of thing plot,that is interest enough and wholesome enough for a children's cartoon. There isn't any of the typical sexual innuendo ( for the most part, that is) that would be around in most of animes that has an…

This was probably one of the most polar animes of Fall 2013; either you love it, or you thought it was boring. Enjoyment of Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita (Yuusha-ni henceforth, damn..) relies entirely on the perception of Fino Bloodstone, the main character. Fino Bloodstone is an aloof, kind, and incompetent girl who has come to work at the Leon magical appliances store due to not being able to become the next Demon Lord. There, she meets Raul Chaser who is also working at Leon due to not being able to become a Hero. From that description alone, you can already tell that "I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job" (the direct English translation of this anime) has a mediocre story. Even though this anime has its dark moments…

Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita is literally the translation of “I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job.” With a title that long, it’s probably difficult to take such a show seriously. Why even bother reading the synopsis? The title is what you get and our main male protagonist in the show, Raul Chase, takes a job small shop called Magic Shop Leon. Raul himself is no ordinary young man because his origins traces him back to Hero School where he was a former Hero candidate. Like a carte in a restaurant, this show has a list of tasty selections to offer. And if you didn’t see it coming before, then you should have now. The show is saturated with fan service so take it reluctantly or leave it home altogether. The series can be a…
