Review of Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside

For me these are two different shows in one. On the one hand you have the adventure life and demon war in this fantasy world, focused on the hero party and how the world is affected by this war. On the other side you have one of the best romance shows I have seen in a very long time, even non-anime shows. To start off with the best part of the show, the romance between Rit and Red. This was written in a wholesome and mature way to the point where it seems fantasy-esque because it was that good. Let's be real, the chance ofthis happening to us in real life is pretty small :( Every moment where these two are together is lovely and great to watch. Because of these moments I enjoyed the show so much.

Obviously, I mentioned the other part for a reason, since that is not as good. The world building of this story really leaves a lot to be desired. During the contract demon part in the middle of the show, I had no clue what was happening at times due to the fact that there was no information on who the enemies were. Even in this final part, where someone is able to copy someone, I have no clue what is happening, which is a shame.

But what the show lacks in world building and storytelling, it compensates with the best romance of the year and its amazing realistic characters. I will definitely be buying the novels to get an even better experience of this wholesome show.
