Review of Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside Season 2

The worst kind of boring, just painfully dull and absolutely not worth your time. Entirely preticable and while the old characters are fun, the new ones are largely two dimensional, predictable, tropes. The series is, again, split in half. This time between Van the new hero and Ruti adjusting to her new life. In theory this works but it also means neither story has time to breath. Both feel short-changed and lack any real substance. You know what's going to happen, how it's going to happen and honestly when it's going to happen. One of the major problems is that all the main characters have fullycompleted their arcs. There's nothing left for them to achieve, so they're just milling around in the most ridiculous way. I guess the new, and side, characters are supposed to fill in but it all feels so forced. I rarely feel depressed than an anime exists, but knowing this got a second season when something else didn't is so, so depressing.

I can't honestly recommend this on any level, seeing as the minor changes that make up the plot are so dumb it's depressing that this got a second season.
