Review of The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest

The anime follows the story of a guy who gets kicked out of a party and then turns out to be powerful. The mystery of how and why is not that important, and it adds to the intrigue. The anime in general doesn’t stand out that much—it’s quite a generic fantasy. The animation is decent, not amazing, but consistent despite the low budget. The fights and many things in the narrative are pretty lackluster. It’s quite common these days, the trope of the overly cheerful, overly enthusiastic female lead paired with a somewhat dense and dull guy. This relationship is repeated often but seems to be the favoritetrope for generic fantasy. Can’t blame them for repeating it.

Well, the anime is certainly generic and lackluster. The intention is what counts—they offer some drama with the idea that something big might happen, and slowly uncover the mystery to keep you engaged until the end, leading to another lackluster fight. It’s disappointing but expected—it’s neither deep nor anything special since it’s generic and low-effort in its story development. But at least the motives are clear and explained, I guess.

Overall, I don’t recommend it since there are better anime to watch in 12 episodes. But if you want to kill some time with a not-so-exciting story, this is it.
