So, Banished from the Hero’s Party had a great setup ,,dude gets kicked out of the hero’s party and decides, “You know what? I’m done saving the world; I’ll sell herbs and chill.” Honestly, that sounded like the start of something refreshing. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of those shows that doesn’t really know what it wants to be.
It’s not a fantasy . the worldbuilding is paper-thin. It’s not really romance either Red and Rit get together early, and then… nothing special happens. It tries slice-of-life, but then it remembers there’s a demon lord plot waiting somewhere in the corner. Basically, it juggles three genres and drops all of them.
The tone’s all over the place: one minute it’s cute domestic fluff, the next it’s dark hero angst, and neither side hits hard enough to matter…

HIDDEN GEM!!!
A friend of mine recommended me this anime since I´m a fan of Slice of life, fantasy and romance genres and never would have I have thought this anime was gonna be this good. Now since this is a slow pace anime it doesn´t mean it won´t have action, which in this case it does and does a decent job of implementing it by the use of flashbacks or current events in the story., SO IF YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT LIKES FAST PACE AND ACTION PACKED ANIME PROBABLY ISN´T FOR YOU.
Now the story is about a heroes party on a quest to defeat the Demon Lord, which is pretty cliche in most fantasy or isekai animes, however the direction that this story takes is non that I´ve seen in other anime/manga. The MC is part of the heroes party but for some various reasons he quits the heroes party to go an…

I was out of animes to watch, since all I do after studying is watch animes and play games. I saw someone saying that this anime was getting a second season and I wondered why the hell something so low rated and possibly very, very bad was getting more episodes. The thing is, I started looking for hidden gems and underrated animes about a week ago, since I started getting tired of many hyped up animes that delivers nothing at all. Some of them are always so well rated and they are so bad that I was even scared of picking low rated animes on MAL, because I thought they would be even worse. But I NEVER imagined that the risk of watching low rated animes in MAL could bring me something as good as this show. As I write this review, the score of this anime is 6.95, something to be very suspicio…

Shin no Nakama is ground zero for the new subgenre of isekai shows in which a member of the Hero™’s party gets kicked out for one reason or other and has to start a new life on their own. Shield Hero is arguably the principal precursor of the genre proper, but Shin no Nakama is the first official title on the list.
Nowadays I am often left to wonder why I decided to watch any given show, because from the moment I write down a title on my to-watch list, until the moment I actually get around to watching it, years pass – routinely. As such, I often forget what was behind the original impulse. Fortunately, I have a good idea how Shin no Nakama found its way on my list. The show was pretty popular in 2021, when it was airing, and plenty of people seemed to be very taken with Ruti, the Hero™ c…

One of the worst anime I've ever watched.
*Dumb character motivations
*Zero character development
*Senseless plot
*Power system is inconsistent. Everybody except the so called 'apothecary' can heal. The MC seemed sociable, yet he leaves the party after being called 'useless'by a character who calls almost everybody useless. He banished without talking to his 'mentally unstable powerhouse' who doesn't have any emotional connection with anyone else but him. The so called main villain's character development is purely nonsensical. He goes from a egomaniacal high level mage to a useless clingy lifeform in 2-3 episodes. The ending feud could have been easily avoided just by having a conversation.
Only good thing about this anime that could be stated is the main heroin. And definitely not…

I try and be as spoiler free in my reviews as possible;
I have now finished watching this as Season 2 is looming on the horizon; quite honestly, I don't get some of the extremely negative reviews this has.
No, it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel and, well, going simply on the title, it also isn't some run-of-the-mill edgy teenage protag power fantasy - despite the very overdone "demon lord threatens world" plot-thread that does exist here.
The thing is though, is that this is more a slice-of-life, self-discovery and romance story, with bits of action here and there and the whole "demon lord" thread is what ties huge parts of the story together.
Now, I will admit that some parts of the negative reviews are correct in saying "well, if this happens at the end, what happens with the whole…

This is a fantasy anime with a familiar and presently popular premise: the protagonist of the story is dismissed by his heroic adventuring party for being more of a liability than an asset. Having been dismissed, the main character feels no obligation now to resolving worldly problems and has instead decided to settle in a quiet town far-removed from most walks of life.
The premise of the story fails for 2 reasons almost immediately: the setting's hero is the protagonist's sister and never once mentioned her brother being a liability, and the second reason becomes unignorably apparent quickly, and that is that the main character protagonist is far from being a liability at all. Just the opposite, the writing establishes his competency as being head-and-shoulders above most of the rest of…

Without getting to in depth about the story and plot, give this anime a chance. Despite its rating it is definitely one of the better fantasy stories out there. The character development is stellar and the interactions between them is great. This anime feels like an isekai but all the characters are from this world which makes the story pure fantasy fun. One thing from watching this anime is it definitely starts off slow which is my theory for its poor rating. The story really ramps up midway through and episodes 12 and 13 feel like movies lol. Anyways, watch it you wont regret it.

I should mention first that the title of the anime is a lie. In a way it is very similar to the chilling in my 30s series, as both pretend to be chill/relaxing, but instead continuously have a LOT of combat/drama going on for the majority of the episodes. Most of it is low quality isekai template stuff, so don't expect anything.
Setting
In this world, god gives all living things something called "blessing". This is basically your "class" / "role" in role playing games. your blessing will actually affect your personality while giving you certain buffs and debuffs eg: a sword master blessing will make you feel happy when you use a sword and unhappy if you don't . And finally we can "level" up our blessing by killing someone with a higher level than you. there's also skills which are separa…

This was so fundamentally horrible that I just couldn't resist writing a review to recommend people not to watch it. I usually just write reviews for novels as far more time is dedicated to read through a novel and you truly get to get immersed in everything the story has to offer compared to the short-lived and often disappointing format of anime adaptations.
This is... really, it's almost infuriatingly bad, yet you're left feeling more melancholic about how this garbage had resources wasted on it instead.
The music is crap. The setting is badly executed. The characters can't make you give a single f*ck, not even one of them. The story is just childish at best and the animation feels both low budget and low skill.
We have the protagonist, the dude lacking both will and motivation, wh…

Usually a bad show just ends up being boring or uninteresting, and I drop it before watching too much of it, as it's usually obvious from the start it has nothing to offer. This show started off on course to be another normal, generic fantasy show jumping through the usual hoops I've seen many times before, which is fine. These kinds of shows can be enjoyable enough in their own way, so I kept watching. Slice of life and fantasy are both genres I generally enjoy afterall. But quite quickly this show devolves into some of the worst shit I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through, and by the time I'm at the last couple of episodes I feel like a fucking idiot for having watched it all. I can't think of a single redeeming factor of this show -- the story and characters are just so unbelie…

Basic as basic can be. Not even worth writing a thought-out review. Don't watch unless you want to be bored to death.
Unfortunately though, due to guidelines I must make the review longer. So why is it basic? Dude is op but is not seen as op, weaker people that are not op are mad that hes op. Big titty blonde girl knows hes op and wants his seed because hes op so they fuck. Dude is op so he does op things but hes also an alchemist so now hes op in alchemy and can do an mri, brain surgery, and the most complex of medical procedures in the 12th century. Can he really? No but hes just that op.
The dungeons are basic cause they made them look futuristic in a world that is medieval-like all the bad anime with op mc do. Big battle at end but mc is op so it lasts 3 episodes but it could have be…

This is the most boring anime I have ever watched. It has no real plot and half the time makes no sense at all. It has all the worst tripes with some new lows thrown in like villains diatribing, pointlessly endless self justications and explanations, and for good measure, the good guys are doing more damage to each other than the villains 99% of the time. Every one almost dies at least once but then magically gets healed to new as if it never happened. The story extols the virtue of abdicating responsibility. From the heroes brother who leaves the party to live the boring life (emphasis on boring), to the hero herself who forsakes humanity to selfishly just be a normal girl. There are no repercussions at all. Can they really live in lala land forever like the inevitable war won't ever dest…

Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita (2021)
Honestly, Tisse is the only character that matters just saying.
With the show, it is a bang on 3/10. It does what it does okay and what it misses out on badly. If they spent nearly as long a time developing the story without pointless action and a brocon sister then the story may have been more than mediocre.
The art style is average and does nothing special whatsoever.
The sound is meh, the OP and ED are a bit dull. They overuse certain sounds like the 'eh' when someone is embarrassed and hugs someone or the 'ahhhhh' in combat noise that is used far too much here.
The characters are all so boring, apart from Tisse at least she had something unique about her with the inne…

Score: 9/10
+Great romance
+Good action
+Dynamic story with plot twists and fantasy trope subversions as well as likeable characters
+Colorful art with good opening song and passable soundtracks
+More than meets the eye story and themes that may hit home to young viewers
-Slightly rushed ending, but the show still ends on a satisfying note
(read below for a more in-depth spoiler-free review)
TL;DR - Show subverts expectations and slice of life tropes, tackling relatable dilemmas and themes that may hit home to many young viewers. The story actually moves forward and character relationships are masterfully handled in a mature, natural, and wholesome/cute way especially with regard to the romance. In addition, it is a fantasy setting and comes with good action. I don't like slice of life sh…

At first, it seemed to be a promising anime that would provide many wholesome moments. And it does, but the amount of unnecessary plot elements ruin it all.
Story: 3
The plot is the worst part of this show. If the main focus was on the development of the relationship between the main characters it wouldn’t be so uninteresting. Unfortunately, it strays away from the most important element all the time and provides an extremely boring plot. And as the show continues, it gets only worse. Episode 12 was such a mess, it is not even worth discussing.
Art: 5
Art is far from beautiful. The characters are designed well but that’s the most positive adjective I can use. The animation itself is terrible, especially during fight scenes. It only gets better during wholesome scenes.
Sound: 6

It's just that, my dude thought it was best to live a quiet life. It was amazing to watch said quiet life.
I thought I'd get into this seasonal because it looked good despite it being a "generic isekai" which is somehow synonymous with modern fantasy, but that is a debate for another time. Anyhow, Shin no Nakama is an exceptional anime with the correct amount of everything mixed perfectly enough for it to be taken seriously without any kind of creases being visible enough for it to tumble on itself as quickly as it started up. It's even good enough to come up with some thought-provoking ideas.
What may look like a run-of-the-mill story is actually a genuinely developed work featuring a detailed plot, enough so that there is a substantial amount of info and lore to at the very least keep…

Ah god, the sadness,
this time I do not have anyone to blame
The studio that made these anime are incredibly new with only 2 titles to their name,
So I must say do not expect to be blown away, But I would still insist on watching it, because by no means is this a bad adaptation or anime
Alright think about it this way,
When was the last time we got a fantasy anime that is not an isekai anime, had an interesting premise, and also a good source material?
The immediate one that comes to my mind is plunderer and sadly this anime has also followed suit and become morphed from an awesome premise that had immense potential to a mediocre adaptation.
This anime suffers from a low budget so much so that sometimes you wish they had started crowdfunding.
At first one would believe that This wou…

With fantasy and isekai being a dominant force in the anime industry these days, you'd have to stop yourself and ask when enough is enough. With an anime title this long, sometimes, it feels like we're reading a meme. For the sake of your sanity and this review, I'll just call this show Banished from the Hero's Party. And you may have guessed it, the hero gets banished from a hero's party.
As the premise detailed, we follow protagonist Red, a D-rank adventurer who was banished from a party. He was formerly known as Gideon Ragnason, before being banished by his party members when they surpassed him in skill and level. The general premise sets up for his adventure and life in a fantasy world although his past continously comes back to haunt him. Meanwhile, we also meet Rit, a young charism…
