Decent guy fighting the good fight to keep his family, his friends and his hometown safe. Generic? Sure. Bad? Not this time. Stories about the apparent underdog who discovers and evolves his skills just to figure out he was the hero all along are, for sure, a dime a dozen. Saikyou Tank fits the template perfectly. To satisfy his ego "the Hero" kicks the MC, Rud, from his party. But since Rud was only in the party to farm for a cure for his sister's illness, he recovers quickly and moves on. Which is followed by a satisfying success story built on self-betterment and compassion. To keepthings spoiler-free here's what you'll get from Saikyou Tank: a JRPG backdrop of swordplay, monsters, magic, dungeons, horse-drawn carriages and rural towns surrounded by palisade walls. Several detailed and all in all entertaining boss fights. Relatable and not too complex character evolution and relationship building. A few cute characters and monsters. Quite some little sister and low key loli complex by MC. Growing respect and admiration for the MC mixed with some subservience and some romance from the (almost) all girls party. While, in my opinion, avoiding full-on simping harem territory. Overall a relaxed, easy to follow and satisfying story.

What you won't get: superhuman and decades long training routines to prepare for the next boss fight. Sugary romance or tearful tragedy. Constant yelling, screeching and temper tantrums. Force-inserted "comedy". In-your-face fanservice. Unless you count the, as usual, cutesy girls or Lilia and Lily's signature combat move. A 100% to the letter coverage of every rule in "the book" (of your choice). Genre defining story development, world building, art, animation or sound track.

Now, why would I recommend watching the show? Because it's entertaining and satisfying to see MC struggle and succeed. Because the show doesn't try, and fail, to be something it is not.
