Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside

The show wasn't half bad. Some parts were pretty cheesy but the characters weren't all bad and I would watch again. The plot line was a bit confusing. It felt like no one really knew what they were doing but they knew they had to do something. The art was very well done and didn't have that cheap look like some animes tend to have. I feel like somethings did feel a bit out of pocket and over exaggerated but that goes along with the cheesiness I had mentioned earlier, but at least it didn't have cheesy voice actors like lesser known animes usually do. I do feel like this anime has a possibility to be a bigger anime if the right people find it.

Initially, I didn't understand the plot going into the first episode; a former party member venturing out to collect herbs. It sounded so boring when I first heard it; and then I watched it.

Banished From the Hero's Party has a good dose of realism and realistic rom/com. It may seem boring at the start, but as it progresses, it delves deeper into the characters' backstories and motivations (as most anime does); the main character, Red, is a prime example of this.

In the past, he was a member of "The Hero's Party", but was forced to leave due to being labeled a liability by a member of his party. As such, he did so, and later went on to start another life in the countryside - as the title suggests. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a really good anime, among others; 10/10.

At first, I thought it would wind up harem-y, but totally not. It was very sweet. It has mystery, twists and turns, romance, and even innocent family ties and values. I actually started welling up around episode 11 or 12. Completely binge worthy, I just wish there were more.

I rate this a 6/10 because its a good show but it could use some work. It is a great show but the beginning can be a little confusing. The title is very much like what happens in the show and I wouldn't change it, that may change though if I watched more. I would kinda recommend this to someone, this show is more of on the shows no one knows about and the low reviews/ stars don't help. This show is a show you could watch over and over and I think more people should give it a chance. If this show were a little more explainable and shows some backstory this show would probably be more recognized.

I would likely watch it again.

I had a few dumb scenes, but overall, it was a decent anime. Some of the characters were a little flat. For example, Ares motives are never adequately stated or shown-he's just bad for being bad's sake.. The deity aspect that they kept bringing up seemed like it wasn't well-rounded or thought out completely. The demons were barely two-dimensional.

There are some good things about this, though. The character "class" system is interesting, though I think it could have been clarified somewhat. I did like the main characters-Red and Rat-but the Hero seemed a little flat and forced as a character.

I would likely watch it again.
