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

Non-spoiler Review: I'm a sucker for slice of life, wholesome, and romance anime. At its core this anime is a romance, with the backdrop of an isekai adventure story. The focus is not on the adventures, but rather on the romance. If you were hoping for a swash-buckling tale of slaying dragons and such, this isn't your anime. I think the main characters are well developed, nuanced, and easy to relate to. I like how its a story of a guy who chooses to chill out and pursue the wholesome pleasures of life. There are moments of action that punctuate that chill lifestyle story, but whatI really enjoy is the interactions of the main character with his love interest and his friends. It makes me smile and feel good and that is what I like about it. Just fun wholesome goodness. The title of the series is a promise to you the viewer and the story stays faithful to that promise without it becoming boring or repetitive.

I've watched a lot of the top rated anime listed on MAL, from dark dystopian stories to high adventure, to straight shojo love stories, and this series makes me happy and satisfied in a very pleasant way.
