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

At first, it seemed to be a promising anime that would provide many wholesome moments. And it does, but the amount of unnecessary plot elements ruin it all. Story: 3 The plot is the worst part of this show. If the main focus was on the development of the relationship between the main characters it wouldn’t be so uninteresting. Unfortunately, it strays away from the most important element all the time and provides an extremely boring plot. And as the show continues, it gets only worse. Episode 12 was such a mess, it is not even worth discussing. Art: 5 Art is far from beautiful. The characters are designedwell but that’s the most positive adjective I can use. The animation itself is terrible, especially during fight scenes. It only gets better during wholesome scenes.

Sound: 6

The sound is decent. The voice actors did their job well. I enjoyed the ending song. Very calming and suiting the relationship between Rit and Red.

Characters: 5

The main characters, Rit and Red are likable. Their relationship progressed through the show, which is unusual for many anime. When it comes to side characters, Ares will be remembered for his pitifulness and Ruti for brother complex. Most of the side characters were unremarkable.

Enjoyment: 6

I enjoyed the little moments between Rit and Red. They are very wholesome, and such relationships are a rarity in the anime industry. All the other elements are just very tedious.
