This anime brings genuine happiness and smiles despite its flawed story and pacing issues. While the antagonist is boring, the story tropes are cliché, and episodes 10-12 get somewhat crazy, the amazing OSTs and wholesome romantic relationship between the main characters make it a joy to watch. I...

To be fair, the anime does not show a 100% a slow life stories. I'll give my review by list : 1. For the story, it's not the best, probably good-ish at best but personally I enjoy it like a lot. 2. For the Art, It's enjoyable. I like the design very simple but not boring to look at. 3. For the So...

This fantasy series offers a refreshing departure from over-saturated isekai and ecchi genres, delivering a heartfelt story about choosing your own path in life rather than living for others. While the pacing can be slow with extensive flashbacks and minimal action throughout, the character devel...

I read and watch a lot of this sort of JRPG-esque fantasy, partially because I think there's always something new to be found at the end of someone else's rainbow. Shin no Nakama is no different, and for all the similarities I could point to with other series, it's the differences and the conceit...

This anime delivers simple yet enjoyable storytelling with appealing art design and a particularly outstanding opening song. While the story quality is merely good-ish and the villains feel disappointingly petty and weak, the calming atmosphere and character interactions make it incredibly relaxi...

This show is an artificially injected breath of fresh air in the fantasy world genre that's become so over saturated with echi and isekai shows nowadays. The show follows a man who, after being convinced he was a burden to the hero's party due to the other members of the party surpassing him in c...

The slow-burn romance between Red and Rit gives the show its warm heart, and the sincere sibling bond with Ruti almost rescues the later episodes. Yet the series drags its central theme across thirteen episodes, offers thin world-building that mixes steampunk and future-tech without logic, and co...

This anime carved a special place in my heart through its phenomenal character development and beautiful exploration of adulthood, with Red's inspiring journey from banished hero to thriving individual serving as a beacon of hope. While it's admittedly a slow burn and I'm baffled by its 6/10 MAL ...

As someone who's nearing the 100-anime milestone, I thought I'd seen it all. But Shin no Nakama ja Nai... (or "Banished from the Hero's Party" for simplicity's sake) has carved a special place in my heart. Red, the protagonist, is more than just a character – he's a beacon of hope for anyone stru...

Very boring and pale anime to watch. It was painfully long since most episodes were just filler or at least felt like it. It fails at everything it tries to be. It doesn't have a slice of life tag so i don't know why ppl neglect the fact that 80% of the content is just random stories without any ...

"Banished from the Hero's Party" promised a chill "slow life," but instead delivers a nauseating, cloying romance that utterly ruins the show. Red and Rit's relationship isn't sweet; it's a sickly-sweet, unearned gush-fest that feels less like love and more like an endless, performative assault o...

It's taken me a while to write this review as this anime left a sour taste in my mouth when I finished it. I will keep this spoiler free, as I will talk about things in an extremely vague way. I'll be blunt, this starts off as a nice comfy anime, with Red and Rit settling down and enjoying their ...

If I can describe this anime with only one word, it will be "relaxing". Yup, this anime will make you relax, the genre should be Iyashikei though. It was a good romance anime too, I didn't get cringe at all. Also, there are things that I learned throughout the show. And it is, [b]don't let fate b...

!!!(THIS MAY INCLUDE LIGHT SPOILERS)!!!! "Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside" The title of the anime says it all! The premise of this anime is an ongoing trend in mangas by the names "Slow life" and "Banned from the Hero Party" but this anime differs...

This anime infuriates me with its awful protagonist Gideon, who abandons his comrades and sister to fight the demon lord while he seeks a quiet life, and joke characters like Rit the knight who fled after her comrades died protecting her. The only slight redemption is feeling more empathy for sup...

The show excels in portraying meaningful character relationships and explores valuable themes about life priorities and breaking free from expectations, making it an enjoyable and heartwarming experience. However, the final episodes suffer from poor pacing, contradictions in character development...

The anime works as simple time-passing entertainment with an above-average protagonist who just wants to live normally, and it's refreshing that it's not another isekai. However, the core premise is fundamentally stupid - getting kicked out of your own party makes no logical sense, and the so-cal...

This anime fails at everything it attempts to be, with painfully long episodes consisting mostly of filler content that has no connection to the main plot. The final 3 episodes that finally address the main story are still boring, featuring Ares as the poorest excuse for a villain with stupid mot...

This anime delivers a wonderfully relaxing, iyashikei experience with a genuinely good romance that never feels cringe-worthy and an engaging storyline that makes the hours fly by. While the visuals are basic and the ending song merely so-so, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise comforting w...

The slice-of-life scenes are genuine gems that fill the screen with calming visuals and sounds, especially the quiet moments between Red, Rit, and the townspeople. Unfortunately, the final two episodes collapse into pitiful plot, animation, dialogue, and fight sequences, and the climactic antagon...
