Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita

Far away from the reaches of demons and war, near the borderland of Zoltan, D-Rank adventurer Red lives a normal existence. Through perseverance and hard work, his dream of starting his own apothecary and peaceful life in the countryside finally came true. Abruptly, Red gets a live-in partner and assistant named Rit—the princess of Duchy Loggervia and an adventurer herself—who gives everything up to join him.

Although honest, kind, and loved by all, Red has a secret shared only with Rit: his real name is Gideon, brother of Ruti Ragnason, the "Hero" and a former member of her party. Ares Drowa, the "Sage," kicked Red out of their party after their war against the Demon Lord after deciding he was weak and insignificant. Now, even though Red has left the Hero's party behind by assuming a new life together with Rit, his past has yet to let go of him.

I was worried about this show since the Wiki page said that Ruti, Red's sister would become his lover. In the anime it is only hinted that Ruti wants to be something more than just Red's sister, but there is no explicit incest. Ruti is the weakest character in the series as she just felt like a Rei from Evangelion rip off. The show is strongest in it's relationship between the two adult characters Red and Rit (They need to get more creative with the names lmao). I would recommend this show if you wanted a cute slow another world romance with a little bit ... of action. The second season does get a little bit more interesting but sadly there is more Ruti in it. ALSO RIT AND RED DO GET MARRIED so it is not a will they, won't they THEY DO!!!

Mixed Feelings

Shin no Nakama is ground zero for the new subgenre of isekai shows in which a member of the Hero™’s party gets kicked out for one reason or other and has to start a new life on their own. Shield Hero is arguably the principal precursor of the genre proper, but Shin no Nakama is the first official title on the list.

Nowadays I am often left to wonder why I decided to watch any given show, because from the moment I write down a title on my to-watch list, until the moment I actually get around to watching it, years pass – routinely. As such, ... I often forget what was behind the original impulse. Fortunately, I have a good idea how Shin no Nakama found its way on my list. The show was pretty popular in 2021, when it was airing, and plenty of people seemed to be very taken with Ruti, the Hero™ character, spamming my FB timeline with all manner of screenshots and memes of her. I vaguely remember thinking her design was cool, and so I decided to one day give it a shot.

Watching this felt like rewatching Chillin’ in my 30s. If anything, Shin no Nakama felt like the beta version of Chillin’ – much of the same, just less polish and skill. As such, I really don’t have much to say I haven’t already, so I encourage you to read that essay for a more detailed analysis, for effectively everything I’ve said about that one applies here.

The only real difference is that Shin no Nakama feels a lot more amateurish, as though the team behind it weren’t quite ready to put out a show for TV broadcast. A lot of the facial expressions looked rather janky and did not fit the voice acting, especially in the series’ more dramatic moments. Still, it’s a generally nice-enough looking show.

Chillin’ also felt a lot more down-to-earth and believably wholesome. Not than Shin no Nakama isn’t also mighty wholesome – it is. It just feels less competently put together. A lot of the verisimilitude or lack thereof comes from the design of the protagonist. Dariel literally looked like a regular dude in his 30s. Gideon, or Red, as he calls himself since his exile, by comparison sports a much more LightNovelGuy™-type look to him, sharper textures, sleek eyes, spiky hair, the works.

Shin no Nakama also attempts to create a bit more dramatic tension by way of a plot device that is supposed to pose a philosophical question to the audience. What is more important? To do what you choose of your own free will? Or to do that which you are destined for? I didn’t personally find that whole shpiel terribly interesting, but your mileage will vary.

Lastly, while the romance was a welcome and important element of Chillin’, it was not the main element. Here, the OTP is put front and center much earlier and takes up a lot more oxygen. In some ways, this show doesn’t go as far with its romance. Yet again, in other ways – awesome ways – it goes so much further.

What can I say? The Japanese government really wants weebs to leave their basements and have sex. Nippon needs babies!

One of the worst anime I've ever watched.

*Dumb character motivations

*Zero character development

*Senseless plot

*Power system is inconsistent.

... Everybody except the so called 'apothecary' can heal. The MC seemed sociable, yet he leaves the party after being called 'useless'by a character who calls almost everybody useless. He banished without talking to his 'mentally unstable powerhouse' who doesn't have any emotional connection with anyone else but him. The so called main villain's character development is purely nonsensical. He goes from a egomaniacal high level mage to a useless clingy lifeform in 2-3 episodes. The ending feud could have been easily avoided just by having a conversation.

Only good thing about this anime that could be stated is the main heroin. And definitely not a predictable anime (who in their right mind will predict such a dumb plot?)

Don't know how it got a second season.
