When I started this anime I never had any kind of premise. One of the trillions of anime where a random guy from a famous adventurers party was bullied because he was considered the weakest member of the group and consequently kicked out. Its stuff Ive seen over and over again and something that a seasoned veteran like me usually avoids like the plague. And in fact Im not betrayed by this because its exactly what it is: a guy gets kicked out of the heroes party because hes considered weak and then turns out to be actually really good. So I cant really see this as a negative if youre willing to accept it it wont even be too much of a burden to watch. Aside from these premises almost twothirds of this anime is quite boring and that might lead you to drop it midstream which is more than understandable. However... as trite as the setting and characters are the final part was at least worth watching. I dont want to give away any spoilers but the revelations and characters shown in the latest episodes perhaps conceal plot points that are much more sophisticated than the classic sliceoflife dungeon hinting at a sequel. However its unclear whether it will ever arrive and I cant speculate because I know nothing about the original LN. Technically I cant say anything about it. Its no Demon Slayer but its no One Frame Man either. Very basic and academic a clean style without too many frills which is rare in this kind of anime where there are usually several stylistic exaggerations that often end up looking tacky. The music is good and the dubbing is average and the few noteworthy action scenes are actually more than enjoyable. I wont say anything about the characters because theyre the classic stereotypes for this genre of anime. At least there werent any characters that made me want to imitate a famous European dictator with a very short mustache. The main problem with this series ultimately turned out to be its pacing which was too slow and boring in the first 67 episodes if not 8. With so many episodes that ultimately lead to nothing but living day by day the chances of waning the audiences interest are very high and many might not even make it to the final episodes which ultimately turned out to be quite interesting. So basically I dont know if Id recommend it to others. I personally wasnt crazy about it but thats probably because Im fed up with these type of anime and usually tend not to even watch them or drop after only two episodes. However I cant say Id give it a thumbs up either because it wasnt such a bad watch but it didnt give me enough to get me interested to the point of recommending it to others too. If they ever make a sequel unless its eons away Ill almost certainly watch it even just out of curiosity. Small note the opening theme is much catchier than usual for this kind of anime. Regarding the ending I cant say anything. Ive never listened to it. :P Character: 55 Plot: 6 Pacing: 4 Animations: 7 Overall: 55/10
