Shicao Lao Long Bei Guanyi E Long Zhi Ming (2022)
Nothing too amusing.
The first episode was mediocre at best; unentertaining and somewhat disappointing, at worst. I understood very little of what was going on, as well as the contents of the first episode; this dragon awakens, and a girl is suddenly offered up to be used as a sacrifice? Not only is it underwhelming, but it's also not what you'd expect from an anime of its title. The villagefolk are too willing to offer the girl up - it would've been expected for them to have at least put up some sort of fight to keep the girl with them. Not only that; the dragon is too cowardly for being 5,000 years old, which cancels out the ideology of the dragon's myth.

Heroism
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.
