If you:
like fantasy;
value authenticity, a laid-back pace with a little slice of life in adventure with a bit of novelty and
don't mind low-budget productions;
then you might like this anime.
For me, I was very happy to watch it. Since I rate series by the merit of their implemention INSIDE of the constraints of their environment, resources and source materials, I happily gave it an 8.
This anime from what I infer was made with not much budget and inside that scope, the animations are well made. The style harmonized nicely with the story, personality and characters. New animations are introduced frequently enough and old ones are reused in a creative way and where it makes sense without getting old. In short, they used what they had wisely, even though it's of course no e.g. Madhouse…

A group of individuals who have been betrayed by their party, in one way or another, happen to pick up rather expensive habits as a cooping mechanism. To finance said habits they form an adventuring party. That's Ningen Fushin.
The adventuring part is redundant. The party roles are basic and almost no attention was given to the "dungeons" they go through. I'd even say they're very much an after thought.
The show is actually about the people in it, their lives and how they've reached this point.
It's actually a mature show where there is no clear cut good and evil. There are people who build their happiness with their own two hands, and people who build it on the suffering of others.
The characters are well rounded and each could easily be the MC which actually happens further in the…

It started strong with a cool premise and interesting cast with tragic backstories. Then after episode 4 they stop going to dungeons or adventuring and the rest is pure filler. So disappointing. Who green lit this trash?
I'm not even exaggerating. Have an episode just messing around, one doing math, another gambling, another that is the backstory of some character not even in the party that is irrelevant, 3 episodes that are just a filler messing around in town looking into a rumored person, then closing out with messing around in town filler.
Despite the premise that the group would eventually one day save the world, they waste the entire show not even starting down even in the direction of that path, making no progress whatsoever. It's just pure wasted potential.

They took one of the most interesting concepts with some of the most charming and endearing characters, and made one of the shittiest shows I've seen out of it.
Ningen Fushin ain't absolute dogshit, but it's not anywhere near good either. I loved the idea of 4 people betrayed by their previous parties forming up to make a new party, but then after that idea, they just fight a dungeon with slimes, then a dungeon with a sword that turns into a human, then fight a kidnapper who for some reason they all feel bad for when dies.
If this was a traditional "beat the demon king" fantasy anime it would have done so much better.
You have all these characters with distinct personalities and interesting backstories, so why not do something with it?
I expected to go into this and have it be somethin…

Ningen Fushin is a pretty boring anime. This is the best way to describe it. I can't believe I finished it. Frankly if my Genshin Impact update wasn't taking so long, I would have probably delayed watching this for another few months. Honestly, the last 3 or 4 episodes weren't all that bad. At least something was happening that had some substance to it. It's just not enough as a whole. A lot of half assed episodes with little to no importance to the characters growth. This is supposed to be an anime about characters who have lost faith in humanity, so you would think that these 12 episodes would be heavy in the character development department. It just barely scratched the surface of Nick, and I felt Zem had the most developed character of the bunch. Curran and Tiana's development is very…

Started watching this anime in 2023, then stopped and never went back. It's 2024, so I decided to finally re-watch and finish watching it, only to realize why I stopped watching it.
Interesting premise, the first episode is OK and you think it'll get better, but it doesn't. I'll just list everything wrong with this anime:
- Dogshit art and animations. They are BAD. I have never seen an anime where they messed up animation for walking up/downstairs this badly. It's like whoever drew these characters was animating for the first time in his life. This issue doesn't get any better as the show progresses.
- Art is the least of this anime's issues. The garbage-tier characters written with the most boring generic backstories make the whole thing feel like a chore. They dedicate like 5 fucking…

Very mild character spoilers for Episode 1
Ningen Fushin is one of those shows that falls under the radar during its airing season and is rarely talked about during or after its airing. What makes this show fall under the radar are the flawed main characters. All the main characters in this show were “too human” in a way.
For example, Nick, our main male protagonist and swashbuckler, gets kicked out by his adventure party leader and dumped by his girlfriend because of it. Instead of moving on, he gets depressed, spends all of his money on an idol girl, and fails at attempting to join or form a new adventure party because he “can’t believe in anybody anymore” because of his old party and ex.
Tiana, our mage, gets dumped and cheated on by her fiancé because she was doing better in magic s…

Look. Some anime are full course gourmet meals. Some anime are bad microwave burritos. And some anime are soup. Plain, regular, out of the can soup. Not mindblowing, but a staple comfort food. You won't remember the meal, but it filled you up, and you enjoyed eating it. This anime is canned soup.
Now, there were a lot of things I really liked about this show, and a lot of things I didn't. Let me detail the major negatives first.
1) the animation is uh. Not great. It's not horrible, but it is distracting. There is maybe two or three really good shots in the whole show. Fight scenes are not good, there's a reliance on close ups, and all group shots look derpy. There are a few scenes that use 3D models to fill out crowds and oh boy is it noticeable. Genuinely, some of the animation is just…

I decided to login to my account to make a review the animation is bad and its like 4 episodes of going out on adventures the rest of it is some weird thing about an idol having problems with her bf a furry robbing people with his miscreant friends because people were mean to him or something, then some bald dude who calls himself the stepping man steps around killing kids with his stepping powers because he had a hard life. They can also fuse with a sword thats a person who can talk and it looks so dumb the moment i saw that in ep 4 i realized its gonna be real bad from here on out.

This anime started out with a funny concept. A group of adventures each abandoned that full the holes in their lives with random vices. Unfortunately after the first episode, this series falls flat.
The characters are boring, don't really develop and have no real motives. In the first episode they all start by being jaded from being betrayed, yet by the end of the episode they all seem to warm up to each other. The characters really needed more time to become closer. Development just appears out of nowhere, without being fledged in the story.
Each character's backstory is interesting at first, but none are delivered in a way to make you care. The dialogue has awkward pauses and is overall boring.
I have unfortunately still seen worse shows, so I can't grade this too harshly. You will st…

Action scenes where really basic. The best part of the animation was laughing at it. Very sloppy a lot of the time, average the rest. Characters had semi-interesting backstories, but the characters themselves weren't interesting. The point of view had potential to create an interesting dynamic, but it didn't ever end up happening. Pacing was awful, started fine, ended alright, but the episodes in between crawled by. Voice acting was average. Soundtrack was surprisingly good. I liked the ed and the general soundtrack was well done. Intro was average. Overall just not a good show, low effort. Drawing people walking is just so hard. 4.45/10

“Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World” is what happens when You mix an awesome premise with terrible writing.
We follow a cadre of four adventurers. Each and everyone of them was somehow betrayed by the people they trusted the most. As such they have severe trust issues and addictions that help them cope with their trauma. Understanding their situation and complications from their personal histories they decide to form an adventurer party to help them earn money for their addictions and to keep themselves from shattering mentally. So far so good. The premise is amazing.
As for our social trainwrecks:
Nick - Job: Light Warrior. Addiction: Idol, Agate to be exact.
Nick is the most experienced member and leader of the party. Thanks to this he takes t…

Although the production value is downright criminally awful, the story was definitely very interesting. The show covers some decently heavy and deeper topics, though the execution is lacking. It had a lot of potential, but the production value really holds it back. However it definitely deserves a lot more love then it currently gets. The show is a typical fantasy show that deviates from the norm quite a bit. Rather than follow the story of one single character, it opts to follow the party's stories, which gives the story a lot more life. Showing the stories of many different characters, although side characters, gives the sense that the story takes place in a "world", as opposed to a "setting". Almost every character that is relevant is fleshed out nicely, and with better production value…

Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu (2023)
Like many shows with a long title that tries to have some deep impact, it is fickle. The meaning of their issues lasts only a few episodes then it turns into a slice-of-life adventure show with the added exception that they barely do anything. The show gives elements of great things that could happen that are covered by the mediocre.
The art is awful, it is clunky and shapes are all over the place. As soon as a character is in the background their face falls apart. The battle animation is very basic, like was there not a single senior animator used?
The sound is fun and cheery but that it is. No emphasis is given to anything really.
The characters, even the main ones turn out to be unimportant because regardless of th…

A weird bad mix of mostly good things.
Half of the show is a good run-of-the-mill fantasy, showing potential with a mix of quest-of-the-week filler, save-the-world overarching plot, interesting characters with character-specific intro or origin story episodes and goals of their own (i.e. side quests to earn loyalty points) and so on. Unfortunately, in this season we only get the intros and quest-of-the-week, while the other elements are just hinted at for the future. Bummer.
Another 15% of the show is an epic ancient intelligent magical-swords conflict and collection saga with a weird main hook of MC's sword being Yu-Gi-Oh's Polymerization card and giving them hero fusion. It seems like a very promising main-story material and could've been combined quite well with the rest of the show i…

This anime has some of the best characters progression and development I've ever seen.
While this anime has it strong points in character writing, progression, and music, other aspect are still very mid in the same genre and the story doesn't have that much of substances, that's the main reason it lacking in scores.
The premise itself is very interesting and is what really made the main cast character shines and make their development of themselves and between them and others really full-filling and enjoyable to watch.

Ningen Fushin in key words (Betrayal, Guilt and Trust issues)
For me overall Ningen Fushin is okay-ish. Nothing special, just a bunch of people who got betrayed and formed a party.
The animation is pretty bad especially the walking animations, the characters are floating on air through out the series. All the sounds that they used were suitable and adjusted to the animation. The outro was the best aspect of the show in my opinion.
The main and supporter characters are somewhat memorable. They have unique personalities that make them memorable. The show would probably be better if the characters could've been given more time for their backstory, as well as building a foundation for their personality.
Conclusion:
The budget went all into the outro!

This show is the perfect example of an interesting premise with poor execution. A group of outcasts form a party and begin adventuring and learning to trust again. However, the show takes multiple weird turns like modern/advanced tech in ancient locations, multiple episodes on side characters no one cares about, and generally no adventuring outside of the town that they live in apart from a few dungeons. There's also the issue that some of the animation is rather unpolished in some places, whether it is awful perspective or missing frames of animation that makes movement stop-motion like.
Finally, the show spends too much time on characters individually listening to their thoughts, watching them go about their hobbies, or listening to a long sobby backstory. There's not much meat on the me…

Ningen Fushin started out as one of the most promising shows of the season. One of the latest in the “banished from the hero’s party” style of betrayal and redemption fantasy shows. Unfortunately what started out as a promising fantasy show with a fun cast devolved into a directionless mediocre story with no sense of purpose.
I want to be clear that while Ningen Fushin definitely fell off I still liked the show for the most part. I’m just disappointed that it wasn’t as good as it could have been. The first few episodes give us a ragtag group of adventurers who have been cast out by the world and betrayed for various reasons, coming together to form a party and slowly but surely opening up to one another. Seeing the characters’ mini arcs, how they went from being on top of the world to roc…

This show is the epitome of the famous saying: One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or to put it another way: the majority thinks that this show is fantasy trash, but to me, this show is fantasy that's out-of-the-ordinary charming, in its own way.
Ever since recent times, the "Banished out of the Hero's Party" fantasy sub-genre has been gaining lots of traction ever since the said series was released back in Fall 2021, and it's been almost a good 1.5 years having different shows showcase more of this trend. But as I've said before in previous reviews, when one show becomes too popular, the AniManga industry will start picking up on these trends and come out with the most trash and generic series of works that are popular in its own right, not caring for quality but pumping out quant…
