Review of Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside
The Anime-verse is filled with Anime staring some Wimpy Guy with a Hidden Talent who was banished from his party because (insert silly reason here) and nobody except for the Hot Chick with a Sword recognized is talent at being able to (insert random magical talent here). His old party falls apart while he goes it alone and the Hot Chick with the Sword joins Wimpy Guy with a Hidden Talent and they go out and Save The World! He ends up with a fortune in gold and a harem made of a hot chick from every magical species in that universe. It's hard toavoid those anime. is there a Japanese word to group these anime under? If not I suggest Tsuihō (Exile), because there's certainly enough of them to form their own unique group. Are you exhausted of seeing one Tsuihō anime after another and the only thing that sets them apart from each other is the name of the fantasy world they save and the measurements of the Hot Chick with the Sword?
Yeah me too.
I don't know why I chose this Tsuihō anime, maybe because the artwork showed a truly hot Hot Chick with a Sword in the advertisements I saw. I sat down to watch, expecting to be lulled into boredom by the same old thing but wait - the Wimpy Guy with a Hidden Talent didn't run out to save the world, he had a desire to open a business in a small town and relax, and the Hot Chick with a Sword revealed that it sounded good to her too, and off they went into one of the sweetest, nicest romance anime I've seen in a very long time.
In other anime, there's no real romance, the Hot Chick with a Sword has a crush on Wimpy Guy with a Hidden Talent and for some damn reason he spends the anime shaking in fear and pushing her away. Here, they fall in love. They work together to make their business a success, they meet with the towns people and solve local problems and befriend the town.
It's a nice story that feels right. It's the first romance I've seen in a long time that includes love, and in the end you'll be cheering on their love for each other much more than the swordplay. I quickly became addicted to this story. I am nervous about the upcoming second season because Anime has a way of ruining the storyline with an ill conceived second season. Here's hoping that Red and Rit continue on to a happy life together in Season 2!
