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. It's stuff I've seen over and over again, and something that a seasoned veteran like me usually avoids like the plague. And in fact, I'm not betrayed by this because it's exactly what it is: a guy gets kicked out of the heroes' party because he's considered weak, and then turns out to be actually really good.
So I can't really see this as a negative; if you're willing to accept it, it won't even be too much of a burden to watch.
Aside from these premises, almost two-thirds of this anime is quite boring, and that might lead you to drop it mid-stream, which is more than understandable. However... as trite as the setting and characters are, the final part was at least "worth watching." I don't 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 slice-of-life dungeon, hinting at a sequel. However, it's unclear whether it will ever arrive, and I can't speculate because I know nothing about the original LN.
Technically, I can't say anything about it. It's no Demon Slayer, but it's 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 won't say anything about the characters because they're the classic stereotypes for this genre of anime. At least, there weren't 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 6-7 episodes, if not 8.
With so many episodes that ultimately lead to nothing but "living day by day," the chances of waning the audience's 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 don't know if I'd recommend it to others. I personally wasn't crazy about it, but that's probably because I'm fed up with these type of anime and usually tend not to even watch them or drop after only two episodes. However, I can't say I'd give it a thumbs up either, because it wasn't such a bad watch, but it didn't give me enough to get me interested to the point of recommending it to others too.
If they ever make a sequel, unless it's eons away, I'll 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 can't say anything. I've never listened to it. :P
