Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside
Composite Rating 10/10
This was going to be an 8 or 9 for me. But the ending pushed me over to a 10.
Animation/Design 9/10
I personally loved the animation.
Characters 10/10 [Spoliers]
Red and Rin are the best. They are such a humble and warming couple. I also feel like they complimented each other soo nicely. Considering one came from the Heros party and the other is/was a princess, they were made for each other. I also like how they took their relationship slow, but that it actually developed as the show progressed.
Ruti was also great. At first, she reminds me of Gowther from the seven deadly sins. But the character develops nicely towards the end. I also love how she breaks bounds in a work that says you have to follow your Blessing gift. Very inspirational.
Tisse may have been my single favorite character. She was really the Hero's greatest friend. The way she saves Red's life, knowing that if she has let Ruti kill her own brother, She would have never forgiven herself. and the way that she was always there for Ruti even after she renounced the Heros blessing. I also
Lastly, the town folk: The town actually felt alive. There were many notable townspeople that actually played a part in the story. And ones that you even want to know what happens next. All in all, I think that they were all great.
Audio/Soundtrack 8/10
The music was nice and fitting. I personally loved the intro.
Synopsis (background information and description)
The anime is based in a world where everyone is born with a 'Devine blessing'. This is like their class, it determines what skills they will get and what they will be inherently good at. The main character Red's sister has the Hero blessing. They are in a party with some others including the Sage. One day the Sage says that the Red is holding them back and that he should leave the party without telling his sister. The nice guy Red is, he leaves the party. He goes far away to open an apothecary. He does odd jobs to get enough money to build an apothecary. On the first day, someone walks in. Rit, a girl he has worked with while being in the Hero's part. She convinces him to let her work at the shop, she helps him with the business side of things and around the shop. She also insists she moves in. From here their romance blooms. They help the town out where they can and get into other mischief.... There is more ... you'll have to watch!
Conclusion:
I love this anime, honestly everything about it. The fact that it was a slice of life that has romance, action, and fantasy. The characters were one of the best parts for me. Red was not a cocky MC or a wimp. He was powerfull and yet humble. And I liked the fact that he knew that he was stronger than most, and not that he was too nieve to see it. Overall, I liked the story and how Red and Rin's relationship developed over the course of the anime. Great show, great development, great ending. 10/10
