Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside (2021–2024) User Reviews

Better than ratings would suggest

[masonfewel · 8/10 · 29 December 2021]

I am writing this on the day the final episode came out, and right now the rating for this show is 6.8 on IMDb and 7.14 on MAL. Honestly, I have no idea why. I know it's not the best show ever made, but I really enjoyed it!

The characters were all fun, the story wasn't amazing but it served it's purpose, and I loved the development of the relationship between rit and red. Honestly that was the highlight of the show, you don't see many romances that progress believably in tv -especially in anime-but I just loved how those two characters worked together.

Overall this show is pretty fun and will not waste your time! I would definitely recommend it.

Finally a satisfying romantic anime

[amiranda-39274 · 8/10 · 1 April 2022]

This is not your typical romantic anime , there are no needless love triangles or harems, there is not too many hiijinks. The main character is not a soy boy, he is a man who knows what he wants, he respects his girlfriend enough to show her real affection, he uses his strength to defend his friends and family and the town he loves. Just a wholesome anime, that has a good dose of romance, action and comedy.

Not half bad.

[maiziequeen · 6/10 · 8 November 2022]

The show wasn't half bad. Some parts were pretty cheesy but the characters weren't all bad and I would watch again. The plot line was a bit confusing. It felt like no one really knew what they were doing but they knew they had to do something. The art was very well done and didn't have that cheap look like some animes tend to have. I feel like somethings did feel a bit out of pocket and over exaggerated but that goes along with the cheesiness I had mentioned earlier, but at least it didn't have cheesy voice actors like lesser known animes usually do. I do feel like this anime has a possibility to be a bigger anime if the right people find it.

This show could use some work but it's a good anime.

[naasirbrown · 6/10 · 8 November 2022]

I rate this a 6/10 because its a good show but it could use some work. It is a great show but the beginning can be a little confusing. The title is very much like what happens in the show and I wouldn't change it, that may change though if I watched more. I would kinda recommend this to someone, this show is more of on the shows no one knows about and the low reviews/ stars don't help. This show is a show you could watch over and over and I think more people should give it a chance. If this show were a little more explainable and shows some backstory this show would probably be more recognized.

Decent Anime

[btkeni · 7/10 · 15 February 2023]

I would likely watch it again.

I had a few dumb scenes, but overall, it was a decent anime. Some of the characters were a little flat. For example, Ares motives are never adequately stated or shown-he's just bad for being bad's sake.. The deity aspect that they kept bringing up seemed like it wasn't well-rounded or thought out completely. The demons were barely two-dimensional.

There are some good things about this, though. The character "class" system is interesting, though I think it could have been clarified somewhat. I did like the main characters-Red and Rat-but the Hero seemed a little flat and forced as a character.

I would likely watch it again.

Better than expected

[jennahobbs · 10/10 · 1 March 2022]

At first, I thought it would wind up harem-y, but totally not. It was very sweet. It has mystery, twists and turns, romance, and even innocent family ties and values. I actually started welling up around episode 11 or 12. Completely binge worthy, I just wish there were more.

Fantasy and isekai being a dominant force in the anime

[Mysterygeneration · 6/10 · 13 January 2024]

With fantasy and isekai being a dominant force in the anime business these days, you'd have to stop yourself and ask when enough is enough. There are moments when reading an anime title this long makes us feel like we're reading a meme. I'll just refer to this program as Banished from the Hero's Party for the purposes of this review and your sanity. As you could have predicted, the hero is expelled from the hero's celebration.

We follow protagonist Red, a D-rank adventurer expelled from a party, as the premise explains. Before being exiled by his party mates for being too skilled and advanced for him, he was known as Gideon Ragnason. The overall idea prepares the reader for his adventure and living in a fantastical setting, despite the fact that his history keeps coming back to haunt him. Rit, a young, charming woman who has become fond of Red throughout their time together, is also introduced to us in the interim. She obviously has her own motivations for leading such a carefree life, and later on, we learn more about her background and identity. Let's just say for the time being that the anime follows a cute couple that get along well.

Heroism

[jaterionbohannon · 10/10 · 8 November 2022]

Initially, I didn't understand the plot going into the first episode; a former party member venturing out to collect herbs. It sounded so boring when I first heard it; and then I watched it.

Banished From the Hero's Party has a good dose of realism and realistic rom/com. It may seem boring at the start, but as it progresses, it delves deeper into the characters' backstories and motivations (as most anime does); the main character, Red, is a prime example of this.

In the past, he was a member of "The Hero's Party", but was forced to leave due to being labeled a liability by a member of his party. As such, he did so, and later went on to start another life in the countryside - as the title suggests. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a really good anime, among others; 10/10.

a somewhat good backstory.

[brentpipes-90896 · 6/10 · 12 November 2022]

This anime is pretty good, when i had read the title of the anime, i thought it was not gonna be a good show to watch. But as i had gotten into this show, it had seemed good. While watching, i had noticed that there was a backstory involved with the main character. When i had saw the scene about the main character's backstory. I thought it was interesting. After watching that scene, i had thought about the anime style. Like the graphic art of this show. Enough about the backstory and style, i think the overall anime is good. Lastly, i think that there a lot of multiple plots, characters, and more.

If it got any more dull, I wouldn't be able to commit suicide to end my suffering watching this.

[JustSayingKOA · 3/10 · 23 April 2022]

For an anime about a guy who collects herbs for his store...yeah it's as boring as you think. Highlight of the first episode, collected herbs during a wild fire in the forest. Highlight of the second episode, big breasted mercenary princess visits his store and has tea. Highlight of the third episode, baked delicious medicine cookies. Highlight of the fourth episode, Red got to know two other guys in a steam room naked...nothing else happened in this episode so that's all I could write about it. Highlight of the fifth episode, a guy tried to bribe Red with 50 dollar hookers. You see the trend here...I was hoping it would get better, WHY DOESN'T IT GET BETTER?! Watch if you want to see what happens to an adventurer when you neuter him.

So great story and u must watch these cause so many live learn that can relate into ur own life

[kyanujr · 10/10 · 18 February 2022]

Speechless when I must describe how great this anime hope in the future Japan will make this kinda anime again cause the story, u can enjoy but that was so deep inside cause u can learn about life and I don't know anymore how to describe this amazing anime, So enjoy this!

has potiental

[jadeflores-calderon · 5/10 · 10 November 2022]

I give this show a 5 out of 10, despite the fact that it needs improvement. Although it is a fantastic show, the beginning can be a little perplexing. I wouldn't change the title because it accurately describes what happens in the episode; but, if I watched more, I may. This is more of a "show no one knows about" not exactly underrated, but not overrated. This is a program you could watch repeatedly, and I believe more people ought to give it a shot. This show would definitely be more well-known if it were a little easier to understand and provided some context, with those improvements, i think the show would be a great show to just sit and binge all day. It may not be as good as Jojo, but it has the potential to be one of those anime people will recommend you.

This is a really good one. Give this one some love and support!

[trimmsthem · 10/10 · 25 June 2022]

The title is kinda self explanatory as far as what it's about. Banished From The Hero's Party is a great anime fantasy story that kinda blends in action/adventure, a little bit of rom/com(which I normally hate anything rom/com but hits the mark), mystery/suspense and really hits you in the feels for the characters. Some people may think it's corny or typical for anime. But it really is an entertaining show. It's really interesting considering it throws in some monsters that you'd typically see in fantasy video games like drakes. The story does seem a little aimless though, but that doesn't bug me at all. The voiceover actors do a really good job as far as portraying the characters (maybe except for whoever plays young Red/Gideon). I'm really wanting to see a second season for this show. It's really fun to watch. Give this one some love and support!

A good break away from normal isekai that we're used to seeing

[zachariahhooten · 8/10 · 8 November 2022]

It a good break away from what we are used to. It doesn't make you focus on defeating the demon lord or defeating most it just a guy trying to live a normal life and you don't get to see that a lot in fantasy. I think one doesn't need to be explained and probably we don't need to know who the demon lord is we just have to know about every matter to the hero and the other heroes. I feel like this anime has a lot of potential and is a great anime it moves a little slow some times but over all. It a good show can't wait to watch more and see how this show would end and the progress this show will take.

The Title

[leslievelasquez-lopez · 5/10 · 9 November 2022]

I've come to notice a lot of anime's where the title is long for no reason. In my opinion I feel like the title basically gives away most of all the story lines plot, I just watched one episode so far, and I will say I wasn't as much interested due to, that I kinda already had an idea on what it was already gonna be mostly about. I feel like the viewers would like to be surprised at what they're watching instead of already knowing what's going to happen. Now, I know that it was the illustrator idea and it's okay since it was their idea. In, my opinion I would've called it something like, " Finding the Way" just my thoughts.

better than i expected

[breannrush · 8/10 · 10 November 2022]

I had expected this anime to be on the bad side based off the title but when I watched the first episode I was hooked. I had watched 5 episodes after the first it is way better than the title says.if it had changed titles I would have gave it a 10 star rating but it has a not so smart title.

The characters were all fun, the story wasn't amazing but it served it's purpose, and I loved the development of the relationship between right and red. Honestly that was the highlight of the show, you don't see many romances that progress believably in tv -especially in anime-but I just loved how those two characters worked together.

Overall this show is pretty fun and will not waste your time! I would definitely recommend it.

rating this anime

[chloemitchell-46420 · 5/10 · 8 November 2022]

This anime is not too bad of an anime to watch its cute and has a good animation style and its was in English it also had a nice intro and it wasn't too bad on the yes either overall i think this is a good anime to watch if your looking for anime's that include magic or the tiniest bit of fantasy involved in it.i think its not a bad anime though the creator of this anime could have made it a fantasy anime but that's my opinion on the mater and also it was the anime's producers decision to not make it a fantasy i think if it was a fantasy anime i feel like this anime has a lot of potential that it:)

Vastly underrated. An adorable show with a great mix of humor, action, a great plot and realistic romance.

[Kristi_Hicks · 10/10 · 26 February 2022]

Like many here who left a review, I'll tell you the same thing. This show is greatly underrated. It's likely the usual bunch of trolls who get offended when a female is anything but a hopeless person clinging on to an unrealistic macho hero type.

I almost didn't watch this one due to the undeserved lower rating. It has taught me that I need to review some other titles I may have been skipping for the same reason.

This show is great on every angle, rewatchable and has great promise for more seasons to come. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance.

Underrated and interesting

[reniervaldes · 8/10 · 8 November 2022]

At first glance this may seem like your average, run of the mill fantasy anime. Pleasantly however, that is not the case because it brings a twist to the fantasy genre that is not really seen. The anime starts out with the main character Red gathering herbs. We then learn that he used to be a part of the hero's party but was kicked out, and even more is that the hero is his own sister. This already makes it unique because the main character is not the hero on a quest. He is just a guy that after being banished decides that adventuring is not for him so he opens his own Apothecary. This anime develops into a sweet slice of life romance that is a nice shift from what is usually seen in the fantasy genre. The interactions between the characters are also very nice because they show emotion and work pretty well. Overall it is a solid 8/10 and I recommend at least giving it a chance if you want something unique that also satisfies a fantasy craving.

A show with a very funny and emotional story of the bat

[dominicsantulli · 8/10 · 8 November 2022]

I think this show is a very good, intriguing and emotional show just in the first episode. I think this show captures anime in a very positive way, with the characters emotion being very extensive and the emotion really brings you in immediately.

I think that the main character is very well made, because he is very relatable to the watchers. He gets kicked out of a party for not being good enough and then decides that adventuring is not is not what he wants to live by, so he decides to live in the country and make a medical shop for the town people. I think that many people have thought of a somewhat similar to what some people have thought of, which is to live away from people to live a simple life.

I think that if you want to start an anime that will keep you attached to everyone you meet, this is the show for you to watch.

Amazing show worth watching.

[ceojonathanmontgomery · 8/10 · 2 April 2024]

Hello Fellow Humans,

This show is a typical Anime. Magic and middle ages technology. Adventures guild and a heroes party. It has love and demons and typical humanoids like elves and whatnot. The main character decides to quit the heroes party and move to a small village. However a princess follows him and they fall in love. He and her try and build a life together. But the heroes party falls a part and the hero his sister ends up alone. Eventually she comes back to her brother. But this means a new heroes is chosen and this hero is not a good person. He is your typical Anime description of a Christian. In Anime Christians are seen as evil mostly or a cult. Which by definition is true a religion is a cult. But this new "Hero" is a typical zealot who sees only black and white or good and evil. He does not distinguish between a person who made a bad decision and a psychopath. He does not see the difference between a demon king and a monster that doesn't want to fight and just wants to be left alone. He thinks they all should be slain. Thus the main character has to guide the new hero or stop him. The main character must come out of retirement and his simple life and deal with this evil brainwashed hero who has this fairy who seems to be more of a devil then say Tinkerbell. Let's just say she is not at all who she looks like. But the anime is great and it has all the classics anime has like bath scensles, beautiful women falling for the main character, over powered magic and skills, demi humans like elves and whatnot, your general distain to western religion and so much more. It is worth watching and I truly hope they make more seasons.

A decent slice of life, romance, Isekai

[WeAreLive · 8/10 · 13 May 2023]

Red was once a member of the Hero's party, a powerful group destined to save the world from the evil forces of Taraxon, the Raging Demon Lord. That is, until one of his comrades kicked him out. Hoping to live the easy life on the frontier, Red's new goal is to open an apothecary. However, keeping the secret of his former life may not be as simple as he thinks. Especially when the beautiful Rit, an adventurer from his past, shows up and asks to move in with him.

While I don't really watch a lot of Isekai nowadays but I did particularly like this series.

I thought Red and Rit are good characters with excellent chemistry with each other and are best parts of the whole series.

On to season 2.

Vastly underrated. An adorable show with a great mix of humor, action, a great plot and realistic romance keystrokes aside pretty good

[anthonytaylor-53744 · 10/10 · 8 November 2022]

Obviously like many here who made a review and posted , I'll tell you the exact same thing. This show is greatly underrated. It's likely the usual bunch of trolls who get offended when a female is anything but a hopeless person clinging on to an odd macho hero type.

I almost didn't watch this one due to the undeserved lower rating. It has taught me that I might have the need to review some other anime's I may have been skipping for the same reason.

This show is good from every angle, Semi re-watchable and has amazing promise for more seasons to come. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance!

different isekai and enveloping plot of love

[mas_daza · 10/10 · 4 September 2022]

I love so much this story, the romantic plot and a really enyoying iseakai but is not a really iseakai, but at the same time is a normal isekai.

The story is so paceful, it described and enchant in the very first episode, and it keeps whit a good taste alonge the season.

It contains a lot of nice words of inspiration and kind wors of what you really do with your life with no hesitation of what people things or say.

Te characters construction is fantastic, all the retrospective life make a history behind a story.

And of couse RIT is sooo hot, her body is so sexy, she is so comprensive and loving, i really like to see a unsensored versión, and OVA and a second season of this anime.
