My Review of "Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None"!
Lowkey enjoyed watching this anime more than I expected to.
Story
Orhun Dura was a member of the Hero Party, being an enchanter for the party but also being able to fill in other roles as he’s a jack-of-all-trades. However, since he was a master of none, he was kicked out of the party. Once kicked out, Orhun decided that he was going to become a solo adventurer. This lifestyle, however, would get him involved in a certain dungeon’s problems and the Night Sky Silver Rabbits, another guild that had some members show interest in him. He’d have to fight monsters and troublesome groups while training younger adventurers.
The Good
I think for this genre of anime, Jack-of-All-Trades does a good job balancing a protagonist that seems to potentially be overpowered. It’s kind of hard to balance an overpowered MC since most shows either make them too powerful or too weak which can either bore the viewer or really downplay their abilities. Despite being labeled a Jack of All Trades, Orhun seems mostly fairly balanced for his roles, which makes him an enjoyable protagonist to me. The animation does a good job in the moments it needs to. The characters were enjoyable and the story was quite nice as well. I do have sort of a soft spot for anime where the protagonist is kicked out from a party and ends up being way stronger than expected, and I do think that this show is good for its category.
The Bad
The title feels a little misleading, no? I swore Orhun was technically in 3 different parties throughout this anime. The first one was the one that kicked him out, the second was the one that trained the children, and the third was the Night Sky Silver Rabbits. Sure, there were parts where he wasn’t in a party, but for the most part, he was in one. A nitpick that I do have is that there weren't enough interactions between Orhun and his first party. I was expecting Orhun’s previous party to play a bigger role, but the Night Sky felt more important and this show slowly felt less and less like a “Casted out OP MC” anime and more like an anime with an OP MC.
The Downright Ugly
Nothing downright ugly here…
Is It Worth The Watch?
I honestly found this show to be worth the watch. It’s an above average show in the outcasted OP MC genre. Although the main character was in a party, I think the misleading title doesn’t ruin the story that much because the story is still good in itself.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. If you enjoyed this review, I would greatly appreciate a follow too! ^^
