Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau

Among all the beasts that roam the world, there are unique types of "ultimate species" that harbor immense strength and magical prowess considered to be at the top of the power scale. As such, many humans covet their abilities, leading some of these species to the brink of extinction.

As a beast tamer, Rein Shroud can employ the assistance of various animals for many tasks, such as reconnaissance and logistics. By virtue of his ability, he joins a party led by the vile and manipulative hero Arios Orlando, only to be banished after six months due to his uselessness as a non-combative class.

However, unbeknownst to the team that cast him away, Rein is an exception among beast tamers. His potential becomes apparent when he meets Kanade—a cat spirit who is also one of the ultimate species—and is able to form a contract with her. With Kanade by his side, Rein sets out on his journey as an adventurer, steadily rising up the ranks and meeting more ultimate species along the way.

Supposedly only the beginning of the story, there is more left to explore. It is a simple yet wholesome anime of a likeable MC with a genuine heart. There are also plenty of funny interactions that are once again just so wholesome. If you're looking for a relatively straightforward plot with a bit of comedic and wholesome relief, then this is the anime to watch. Nonetheless, there isn't much complexity or deep dive into the characters and the story as a whole. That is one aspect they could definitely explore on more. Yet, hopefully there will be a sequel season soon.

Mixed Feelings

In an age when nature and magic rule the world, there is an extraordinary legend: the story of a warrior who communicates with animals, who fights sorcery and the unnatural.
His name is Dar- i mean Rein Shroud, last of his tribe. He is also called Beast Master- i mean Beast Tamer.

Its nothing special. The anime starts off with Rein getting scolded and fired by his squad. They label him as weak and useless because all he can do is talk to animals, or so they think.

Rein doesnt really "tame beasts" though. A catgirl is about to get mauled by some kind of sabertoothed tiger. ... You'd think he'd use his "beast taming" skill but tries to fight it with a knife... and loses. Only for the catgirl to save the day.

But because this is anime the airheaded catgirl really likes him and lets him tame her. And he inherits her superstrength...
And as the show progresses he encounters more of these magical animal-girls to add to his harem. Each of which add to his abilities.

Because the writing of this anime is so weak it just feels like all these girls are joining his party because they have no lives and have nothing better to do.

Rein's ability to control animals is not completely useless. You have good scenes where he takes out bandits with bees or uses small animals for reconnaissance. But alot of his accomplishments are due to the fact that he gained the girls' powers. Meaning if they didnt let him tame them he really would be useless for the most part.

Rein just isnt that interesting of a main character. He cant carry this anime.
The anime as a whole just doesnt have a strong foundation.

The least they could have done is throw in some fanservice. It would have made the anime atleast a little bit worth watching.

Not Recommended

Informative

This is an anime that easily could've been a 7/10, but due to it's horribly made antagonists and abysmal pacing, it makes this an obvious 5.5/10 due to it being so immensely bland that it isn't worth your time.

Then you may say "why did you mark this as a not recommended, instead of a mixed feelings?", this is simple to answer.
The answer is, it's bland and is cookie cutter levels of basic, with no real personality, but doesn't do anything inherently bad or good enough to be positive. As such, it just ends up to be immensely frustrating for how much potential it has ... but doesn't do anything with it, causing this to be utter trash.

- More precise reasons why this isn't good, and some positives down below -

Reasons why this absolutely sucks:
1. Way too many characters in the harem, which I mean it has 4 extra members that it really could do without. Being more specific, Kanade and Tania are good enough for this series, they have enough energy and comic relief, that this anime would be just fine with them only. When you get past these two members of the harem, it vastly decreases their screen time, and these two characters are by far the least annoying of all of the other MCs.
It would be interesting if the MC "Rein" could combine his beast followers, so they could get a mix of the personalities and character of these beasts that he adds to his harem. I say this because it could get rid of the many characters in the harem that feel like a baseless add-ons, and makes the characters be more interesting with more unusual skills. Alas, this story doesn't do anything interesting like that, and just makes a lot of side MCs that follow the MC around like Pokemon to it's trainer.
2. The episodes (especially late season) have horrid pacing. This entire season, could've been put into 9 well organized episodes because most of these episodes have useless stuff that happens and takes away a lot of time that can be put towards actually improving the story and characters.
3. The personalities of the MC is so generic, that you cannot even see any reason why the harem characters would even like him. He is the equivalent of a side character in any other anime, yet here he is portrayed as an MC, when he has zero personality. Not to mention, he is so unrealistically positive every moment something negative happens, that it makes him more generic and more dislikable.
4. The antagonist hero's party is so unbelievably stupidly crafted, it's a wonder how they once stood on their own merits. This anime went with the most generic way of making an antagonist just unrelentingly hate the MC for having some skill, and doing so, it actively makes the anime much worse. A case with this can be the fact that we never even see the party actually get anything done, as such, how is the hero's party even supposed to have any notoriety, or have a semblance of helpfulness, to have these reputations. If the viewer could see a sensible reason why the MC can be disliked by the antagonists, it improves the story massively, and can show some personality for both sides.

Reasons this has very good parts, and the reasons it doesn't help enough, plus what it misses:
1. The MCs Kanade and Tania are really well done, probably the best in this anime, the problem with this is the fact that no other characters get the same level of characterization, even Rein. This ends up just make you start to feel the rush of the show pushing more characters in your face every other episode that do not have the same interesting personalities that the first two beasts had. This makes it become more frustrating as the series goes on, and there is no progression for the MC and his original two beasts that he had tamed.
2. The way this anime flows should've had a more "Spice & Wolf" esque story, where the MC just completely leaves his old party behind, and meets two beasts that he tames, then travels across the lands. This would fix 70% of the issues with this anime, like personalities, they would just get expanded on as the show progresses and the MCs would gain likability. For characters, they would be shortened down to the two main MC beasts and Rein, which would fix the issue of having far too many characters crowding up the story.
3. The potential for this anime is immense. These issues I have pointed out, can easily be fixed in another season, though I doubt they would cut down the number of beasts, and get a more defined focus. However, this is not to say that most of the pacing issues and characterization issues cannot be easily fixed in another season, these wouldn't take much to clean up the story by far. If another season came out, I would probably have low hopes, but I would still recommend giving it a try if a future season ended up above a 7.1+ rating on MAL, then this season might be more worthwhile to watch through.

All in all, this is mid. I wouldn't ever re-watch this, and probably wouldn't watch a future season unless it got good reviews and a 7.1+ rating.
🗿 Kinda Mid, 5.5/10 🗿
