This anime is by no means good.
The animation work can be sloppy, either with too many frames drawn or too little. The story lacks distinction from similar works in isekai and Romantic comedies. The English voice acting doesn't officially exist and the unofficial version is not the best.
But gosh darn was this one of the funniest things to watch for the majority of the show.
The story is played so straight and unseriously it is hilarious. The terrible animation at some point felt like a PowerPoint in the funniest way possible, and my personal favourite, the English voice acting. Not only is it nice to hear an accent not from the United States, but the way the dialogue is written and how those voice actors say their lines is so corny it's amazing.
This show by all counts in peak fun bad.…

Despite how this show can be undersold easily with its few starting episodes, go watch if it's right up your alley. It's totally not bad, and fun and relaxing.
To start with, there's really no isekai here except but a few minor references and some 'real world' terminology spoken. Besides that nothing and nobody relies on the isekai mechanics. Basically, not an isekai pretending to be isekai, just a funny romcom.
The story is a simple and straightforward 'romance start' story set in the fantasy world. It goes straight and linear from start to end, setting up a huge plot armor for the predictable ending. I'd say it's more a collection of short stories ultimately leading to the desired outcome with whatever goes. But for one thing, that small story is executed rather consistently and never…

The anime suffers from a severe identity crisis and a complete lack of commitment. It sets up high-stakes worldbuilding, only to immediately abandon it after the first episode. It creates a hyped expectation that is never met, leaving the fantasy setup as nothing more than wasted potential.
Rather than committing 100% to either a full adventure or a full romance, it tries to do both, resulting in two elements that mix like oil and water. What remains is a mediocre, episodic slice-of-life romance that clings to the status quo and drags along at a snail's pace. It's not bad, you can casually enjoy it, but there's no flavor to it, so don't expect it to go anywhere.

Honestly, it was not that good, very plain and average anime. If you’re just trying to kill time without paying much attention or have something playing in the background, I would watch this. Otherwise, it’s not worth your time. I only played it when I was stuck in traffic. The plot is very basic and predictable, and the characters don’t experience much development by the end. There are some attempts at world building, like an impending war but nothing ever comes out of it. Everyone just forgets. Overall 4 or 5 out of 10. Good anime if you’re starting out. If you’ve been watching anime for a while this is going to put you to sleep.

Overall Rating: 4/10 I personally did not enjoy this anime at all. The overall execution of the story feels very weak, and it suffers from the same repetitive tropes we see in almost every generic fantasy or reincarnation series.One of the biggest issues for me is the lack of depth in the antagonists and the conflicts. The enemies in this series feel completely flat, with no solid motivations or realistic behavior. It seems like they are just thrown into the plot to create artificial trouble, which makes the action scenes feel empty and uninspiring. Many viewers have already pointed out how badly written the villains are, and I completely agree with those comments.The main characters are equally predictable and don't show any meaningful growth throughout the episodes. Even though the art s…

Every season, the anime industry rolls a giant gacha machine labeled "Fantasy Romance."
Sometimes you get something surprisingly wholesome.
Sometimes you get something genuinely funny.
And then...
...sometimes you get this.
There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her is proof that having a good title means absolutely fucking nothing.
The title promises romance.
The anime promises progress. The author promises absolutely nothing because he clearly has a restraining order against satisfying endings.
Story: 4/10
The premise is honestly solid.
Guy gets reincarnated.
Joins the Demon King's army.
Falls in love with a girl from the Hero's party.
Confesses.
Done.
You already have a better setup than half the romances airing this year.
Instead...
The author looked at…

I was thinking it would be some borish usual scenario, nevermind the part where the MC got "reincarnated" (really tired of that theme) but it honestly couldn't have been better.
It has comedic value, the feeling for romance when the MC get's a joyful moment with his crush I really can't help but see how cute they are together.
Even if it's just a daily life of a fantasy adventurer it isn't that bad to enjoy these kinds of moments.
The one only thing that gets a minus from me is the part where Masked Hero stuff is introduced honestly just the delusionist bits was enough.

You already know what this is... This is anime that I like to refer to as fantasy/comedic fluff. (it just happens to be an Isekai) And as for me, I simply love it. And honestly, this particular anime does it perfectly. For me (and I have to stress this a lot) it was a laugh out loud / minute. But as I've stated before, I love this type of anime. I wouldn't take a show like this and pit it against say, a ReZero, or Jobless Reincarnation were the love for the show comes from enduring hardships and trauma, and when said trauma is resolved, it's a fantastic feeling. No, this anime is all sugar! It's feel-good fluff. I didn't have to get sad or upset at all watching this. I just laughed a lot, and that was exactly what I was looking for. And now that I've received a healthy dose of comedic fluf…

This is the kind of fantasy romance that feels like it was generated by feeding every light novel cliché into a blender and hitting "puree." The result is a bland, flavorless mixture of overused tropes, forgettable characters, and romance so safe that it might as well be wrapped in bubble wrap.
The biggest crime isn't that it's bad. It's that it's aggressively average.
The protagonist has all the charisma of a loading screen. His personality can be summarized as: "nice guy." That's it. No complexity, no interesting flaws, no memorable moments. He's less of a character and more of a vehicle designed to move the plot from one generic romance scene to another.
And the heroine? She's cute. Congratulations. Unfortunately, that's where most of her characterization ends. The series expects vie…

I expected nothing and still was disappointed. How is this possible? Well...imagine you just want to watch cute romance. It can be pretty generic. You don´t care animation is bad, characters worse than underdeveloped (basically walking clichés), music is nothing special, humor is not funny (I would not call it humor – its like you are trying to mimic language you don´t speak. Result is something remotely resembling it at best.) story is non existent and plot? You don´t watch it for the plot. You watch it to warm your heart when your soul feels cold. Or just for the vibes.
And first few episodes work this way. But then garbage writing strikes, charm is broken and magic is lost.
These generic romances are basically one trick ponies and why not? Everyone have their guilty pleasures and ever…

I went into There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero’s Party, So I Tried Confessing to Her expecting some dumb but enjoyable fantasy romcom comfort food. You know, the kind where you turn your brain off after a long day and just vibe with cute character interactions. And honestly... that’s pretty much all this anime is. The problem is, even for that, it felt weirdly empty.
The biggest issue for me was that the story barely feels like it’s going anywhere. Episodes just kind of... happen. Characters talk, blush, misunderstand each other, then repeat the same dynamic again next episode. By the halfway point I kept waiting for some actual direction or conflict to appear, but the show never really commits to anything. Romance barely progresses, fantasy plot feels like background wallpaper, and the “h…

This is a romcom, but instead of the usual highschool, we use isekai fantasy as the setting.
Plot
MC gets isekai-ed as an overpowered demon under demon lord, and demons are currently waging war on humans. When the hero's party reaches demon castle, MC falls in love with the healer, but is rejected instantly. He allows the party to kill the demon lord, and in human disguise, moves to the city with his underlings to court the healer again.
Review
This is a light-hearted highschool romcom in a fantasy setting. There's quirky characters, side ships, going on dates (quests), misunderstandings angst, valentines day, overcoming their insecurities etc...
The story is very casual most of the time and only becomes serious in regards to human-demon conflicts for brief moments. The humor and the wh…

I really wanted to like this anime, it has some good ideas, but the execution definitely isn't there. The most interesting couple aren't even the protagonists. The animation is not good, the art is alright, there are some interesting ideas here and there, but I can't recommend anyone to sit through 13 episodes of this unless they really vibe with the story, enjoy bad stories with these tropes, or just want to finish the anime they started no matter what - like me.
The protagonist is usually very embarassing, which I guess you can say is a normal trope in these types of things. He's apparently a human that reincarnated as a demon, but that only becomes somewhat relevant twice in the plot, and the word "relevant" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. This is only tagged as an Isekai anime out of…

Overall this will be a hit or miss for most but personally I thought it was fairly entertaining so I'm probably going to rate this a little higher than most people. It's a simple isekai romance where the isekai part doesn't really matter. A story about falling for the cute priest and then working your way in human society as a demon. Just being nice and helping people for the sake of helping people not for fame or glory, just purely to make yourself in your mind worthy for the person you got a crush on for the typical feel good stuff which I think was done well enough. Can't forget the being true to yourself as well even if it is a bit cringey for others which I can relate with, sometimes it's fun to be cringe you know?
I don't usually watch romance due to over saturation of the genre, it…

The story had so much potential that it could have been a lot better, but the execution was not up to that point. However, I like the Anime and I would recommend it to people who just want to watch it for fun rather than having a critical eye or who want something logical to watch. Other than that, it's nothing more. I disliked one particular point in the story that I did not like. It was a relationship between two people that felt really unnecessary to me, especially the dynamic building between them. I genuinely did not like that. Other than that, everything else is okay, I would say. It's a recommended watch if you just want to watch an anime just for fun. The romance aspect between the main character and female lead is okay and the side characters are also quite good. However, as I men…

TLDR: Just read the manga, its so much better.
I was minding my own business, when I saw a mother's basement new seasonal episode and noticed the main girl on the thumbnail. I was surprised they turn the manga into an anime considering last time I checked it was on hiatus. I watched the first 4 episodes and was so disappointed.
Animation: ehh?
It wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything you could call great. It was the typical, isekai slop animation which was disappointing since the manga was actually much better slop than those shows.
Writing: This made me angry.
They took the already well made story from the manga and twisted events around or just completely removed them for some reason. It didn't even make any sense since the plot points they cut weren't gonna strain the budget for any…

If you think "There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her" is a generic anime just judging by the name, then you're absolutely correct. It is a slopfest where our MC declares his love for the priest of the hero party, and through his adventures, he grows in hopes of being worthy of her.
It is a light, relaxing story with a slow pace and very very basic story, each episode a new crisis or adventure emerges and our hero grows closer to his beloved or a valuable friend, it's easy to follow, the fanservice is limited to girls in underwear which is good given the industry standards nowadays, and I really liked that the story is self-contained meaning there an ending, although I don't know if they'll do a next season, I surely won't see it if that's the case.

This anime is harmless fun, nothing more or less.
Is it going to change the way you think of isekai, or fantasy, or any of the genres the series dabbles in? No. Does it have epic battles or other jaw-dropping animation? No; in fact, for half an episode the animation quality gets positively atrocious, while the rest is hovering around serviceable.
However, by "harmless" I definitely don't mean "mindless". This show has some fun characters, and is willing to play around with its initial premise, instead of using it as a cardboard backdrop for the MC's wish fulfillment. Speaking of the main character, while he's certainly powerful, he's also a goofball and often needs the help of his friends to succeed.
This is no power fantasy, there's no harem of girls vying for the MC's attention. It's…

It had potential, but poor writing and poor animation just drain the life out of it.
So the set-up is everything. It is the USP (Unique Selling Point), and it sets out all the main characters and the road the season can take.... But then it all goes horribly wrong. The adventuring is minimal, slow and cheap on the animation front. Instead, we get our MC helping out with other people's love lives, while the central relationship free-wheels to a standstill. He can be a love doctor for others, but can't do anything for himself. Then, when we get towards the end, we encounter some forced drama that is badly handled and has us rolling our eyes. Some of the characters are well written, like Happiness, Cecilia's mother, the guy from the guild and his maid wife. While others, like the hero, are v…

If you ever had the thought of "What if the people who created 'Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls' released an anime in 2026?"
You would have "There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her."
I don't want to... completely... insult the animation and art itself, because it's still far more talent than I have with a pencil... But... It's. It's certainly an anime. Episode 1 was pretty good at getting you interested, but then it all just got boring, the 'plot' was mostly gone, and overall, it just felt like it didn't even know what to do with itself. The more you watch, the worse it gets.
