Another show about a protagonist being exiled lol

Not a bad episode but it might take awhile to get used to Marika. She has a habit of being overly excited, almost in a childlike manner. Given taht it's a fantasy show, it's no surprise that there are some magic elements in this too. I'm hoping Dariel can adapt his role and be a strong person.

Theme song including the ED is kinda cute.

HOW MANY "Banished from the Hero's Party" on/off-type of anime MUST WE GET THIS SEASON??? It's overloaded...

Hinano's OP was fine. Akari Kito's ED was kinda nice though, but like the OP, it sounds fine.

This is the case for 30-year-old Dark Soldier Dariel (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita), who got fired from the Demon King's army for his inefficiency in magic towards the Four Generals. In a world where humans and demons are at war, with magic being where the line is drawn, Dariel is forced out of this life, and restart a new life of his very own. And immediately, encountering this girl (in white panties) being chased by a strong monkey (ape, rather) monster, Dariel can only rely on human weapons to defeat it, and he did. As thanks, she drags Dariel into her village, and since he needs to survive on food, why the hell not.

Dariel dragged into Lux Village to be introduced to Malika and her parents, and he tries faking his story to maintain his demonic identity, to the encounter that they're too easy to give him lodging. Since he's already out of the demonic life, it wouldn't harm him to rest at a human's place. The only logical thing for Dariel to be now is an adventurer, rituals and all, and that could expose his identity to high heaven, but instead the ritual registration went as per normal...because he was a human all along.

The registration is complete, now's the beginning training phase taught from Malika's father to Dariel on the various magic skills in aura skill compatibility. And no dice, Dariel is able to master all 4 talents with encouragement from Malika's big boobs. Lux Village is too small for Dariel to grow, and Center Guild's the go-to place for adventurers. But the trade-off is that he needs to move out, and being just welcoming, he just can't go away just yet and decides to stay in Lux Village.

The new adventurer introduced to the rest of the village, and it caught the attention of another adventurer Gashita who's proud and self-servient, with the hope that Dariel's presence would change him somehow. Choosing the first job that is the monkey ape that Dariel fought...it's too easy for him.

Eh, this could feel like a sleeper show, only if you feel bored and have nothing to watch.

It was naively average. Nothing really special. Animation is meh. Characters are average and filled with tropes. Fan service from the get go.

I'll give it a few more episodes but I doubt it will develop into something worth watching considering main story feels predictable from first 10 minutes or so. Who knows, I might be wrong but I honestly doubt.

The beginning when Dariel got fired(how everyone humiliated him too) sure reminded me of Beast Tamer, lol. Oh no, here we go again was my first thought. But let's not judge too quickly, first let me see what's gonna happen next to Dariel...he saves a girl from a furious beast..ok xD Thankfully, I don't remember much else, this was already hilarious enough.

Dariel is of course OP, the first mission was cleared accidentally and Marika already boobies over heels.

I will keep watching for now.

I love this kind of stories, predictable but really fun !. its an 8/10 for me , it would have been a 9 if we got more scenes in the Demon Kingdom before getting fired and a little back story.

I  don't really get the drama in the first seconds of the series.
Since he's so useless to the army and shocked to hear he's totally dismissed yet not understanding why. Could it mean that he's not just weak but also dumb?
And... Isekai in the "genre" description on gogoanime? Would that girl make him remember his past life of an ordinary Japanese schooldboy who got hit buy a truck and then reborn?

I think it will be one of my favorites, as well,this season. I am also looking forward to the sugar apple fairy tale. Bibliophile princess is still my favorite among favorites.

It may not be anything new but I am always happy to see an older protagonist. Marika seems interesting I wonder if there is something deeper there besides her happy attitude and strength or if she's just going to be wholesome eye candy for Dariel.

This was pleasantly better than I expected. I kinda like the somber deadpan naivety of the MC; interested in seeing what future episodes have in store. The female lead is kind of obnoxious though (as is the bugbite on her boob) and if she doesn't calm down, or worse this becomes a harem, I'll have to drop.

Also I just realized, why were they treating him like a beginner? An older guy (by fantasy standards) in expensive-looking customized armor saved one of your villagers from a giant gorilla. Why wouldn't you assume he was already an experienced professional?

As a new anime, it’s kinda hot garbage but for a fantasy anime it’s aight. Reminds me of the smartphone one where the mc learned he could use all types of magic first ep. I’d recommend to watch anything else. This season has way better new shows than this.

That was painfully generic...

Only thing that could save this is for Marika to straight up seduce him. I even thought that was about to happen for a moment.

But no, they'll tease that for the whole run, but nothing is going to happen.

Dariel had two great reasons to stay in that village after finding out he had that rare adventurer aura. I agree with him 100%; he made the right decision. 

As average as it was, there is something here to watch, or at least give it a few episodes worth. I liked Marika's character. A somewhat over the top happy going gal who fell for Dariel or is naively trusting/supportive. Dariel did save her life, but crying and acting the way she did makes her an over-the-top tropey character. 

I will give this one a few more episodes, but as people have pointed out, with so much anime being released, it is tough to keep this one on your watchlist.

Man, the power of oppai indeed lol. It seems the trope of being banished from the hero's party is as common as isekais are so I hope that this one stands out. I will say that I thought this first episode was pretty good and I liked the comedy and Marika. The MC Dariel seems to be decent too.

Btw, Dariel appears to actually be a human and not a demon, or at least a hybrid or something because he does possess super-human abilities (this kind of reminds me Beast Tamer as the MC had a super ability too but minus the harem here at least so far).

This one might be a good watch for the right viewers. I think the polish is definitely there.  

Colors are good, and drawing's have consistency. The design of the characters (Oppai and all), random villagers and Gorilla monster were interesting. I also enjoyed both the opening and ending for the show. And I appreciated leaving the set up for the next episode after the ED, that is always a great way to close a new and currently running show. 

The feel for the show is currently relaxed, but also moving briskly as it sets itself up for what's to come. Lastly there is a good tonal balance within its genre which leaves me with further confidence and interest. Ill will return for the second episode for sure.

Marika had the pimple chest, not sure why that aesthetic choice still exists.

Her family was way too trusting. They unknowingly let a demon into there home. 

I wonder where this will go, however, I won't be there to find out.

Giving this high marks simply for having a protagonist in their 30's. It's so nice to have an older cast.

That being said, Dariel is definitely a man controlled by his groin.

It may be generic, but at least it's better than a lot of shows similar to it. That, or maybe it's my garbage taste in anime tricking me into thinking it's enjoyable. Either way, I'm probably gonna enjoy this one

I'm not sure if it's on purpose or unintentional, but I couldn't help but laugh at the juxtaposition of Dariel thinking about all the "noble" reasons for him to decide to stay on the village, while the camera pans over various shots of Marika's boobs. It seems to me like this anime is going to be a lighthearted, slightly horny slice-of-life/adventure thing, and I'm all in! Even if I'm wrong, I'm interested to see where they take it.
