| Lloyd being part of a new party probably wasn't on his bingo card list these days. It seems he didn't want to join at first but was convinced to later in the episode. He also displayed impressive enchantment and healing abilities so Lloyd is definitely far from useless. Well, at least his new party members seems likable compared to the one he got kicked out of. |

| I know the banished from the hero’s party is a trope we’ve seen 1000x but I really like this show so far. I like how Lloyd joined Yui and the other’s party thanks to a selfless act like healing Sylvie. Shows how kind and compassionate he is while also showing off his immense control of mana and casting! Happy for Sylvie and Klum being reunited and able to go on adventures together again now too. The party has a real family dynamic going which I dig. Only saw a little of them today, but Yui and the group get on so well. The look on Lloyd’s face when he got that first genuine “thank you” was so sweet as well! It’s tropey, but it’s solid so far. It’ll be interesting to see where things go from here. Yui’s one of my fave designs of the season. |

| Good episode. I didn’t expect it to have much content, but it did. So, Klum, the white mage in Yui’s party, used to adventure with her little sister, Silvie, until the tragic dungeon incident where Silvie caught the Magicstone Disease. After that, she joined Yui’s party while also trying to care for Silvie simultaneously. She spent her mornings adventuring to earn a living, and her nights taking care of Silvie. That continued until Lloyd cured Silvie, allowing Klum to fully return to adventuring with her little sister like the good old days. As a result, Lloyd became her replacement as a white mage in Yui’s party. A cute turn of events, to say the least. To be honest, it feels like your typical isekai story, with an overpowered protagonist surrounded by friends who can’t quite compare. Still, I’m excited to see what’s next for the S-Rank party and its newcomer, the protagonist, Lloyd. |

| Troped, but doing well with it. Yui such a cute character design. Twin tail pink hair fireball and sweetness. Even given My preference to taller and more statuesque she is an S rank waifu. LLoyd is dealing with his self image a bit quicker that the average of this trope character. Not as fast as Yuke Feldio from Lefty my A-rank party maybe, but still giving an adequate character progression. A better and more comprehensive backstory and story on how he gets into a new party than most. Story looks like it will stand significantly above average in the undervalued support class changing parties sub-genre. |

| Good, classic script as usual. Oh dear, he's too strong, he does too strong stuff, but he doesn't realize he's doing super strong stuff. Yeah, we're waiting for the rest. |
| Another fine episode. |

| @Marinate1016 your comment got me to give this a second chance (after how disjointed ep1 felt). Glad to see it gets better. |
| very boring episode, but let's see the next ones |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |

| Much better story flow on ep2 looking forward to more |

Another one who is really good gets kicked out. What was the heroes deal? Envy? I'm not sure but that 1st party seems like the one from Beast Tamer. Forget about them Loyd.
| @Sheol01 Seems to be fairly common fantasy trope itself. No one realizes the character's power 🙄 I guess since he was wordless invoking, the others didn't realize the enhancements were sent. The blonde questioning their last outing seems to imply she suspects the hero party is underestimating him. |
Xamerith said: People dining/drinkin in a tavern with gloves on their hands seem kinda stupid. I thought the same when I saw them shake hands. Unnoticed detail by the animators, I suspect. MenchiK1 said: Ooff the lack of self awareness of his own power, and no one openly discussing it with him is already reaching intolerable levels for this. Agreed. Hopefully it gets addressed soon. I loathe oblivious characters/plots (i.e.: Tatoeba Last Dungeon, Ore wa Subete wo "Parry" suru), so hopefully they acknowledge it and "mature" (i.e.:Shinmai Ossan Boukensha) or at least the other characters openly acknowledge it (i.e.:Kanchigai no Atelier Meister) |
| I think that I may end up dropping this. There isn't anything fundamentally wrong with the anime it's just that we've had two episodes so far to set up the premise and it has failed to make me excited to watch this. But! I'll give it one more episode to see if this anime can shift into gear. |
| I really don't like that no one explains to him why it is so incredible what he is doing. They talk amongst themselves about how incredible and unbelievable what Lloyd is doing, but no one really explains to him how what he does strikes awe in them, so he keeps that impression of being too weak. Although, Lloyd did make a ton of assumptions, based on the awful way the hero party treated him. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| This one is kinda mixing Kurt (the guy that doesn't know he's very powerful), and Yuke (from that series about a fired alchemist who then goes on to create a party of his former students, all ladies, of course). You know, people always complain about "again, the same story trope over and over", but in my case, I like the idea of checking what's different in the series that caught my eye. Also, Yui. I've been watching a series on YouTube, where the protagonist, Keiichi, solves issues in various situations, mostly in business. The funny part is that there's always a girl, namely Nagisa, Noa, or, more importantly for this comment, Yui, solving said issues with him. To think that it was one Yui that started the whole thing with the S-Rank party makes me smile. Speaking about other similar series, if there's a possibility to save this girl from the other party who booted Lloyd in less than 10 seconds of the 1st episode, just like how Jamie from the series where Yuke is the main male character was added to Clover, it would be nice (and I'll definitely going to laugh for the similarity)  Now, about Silica's VA, Haruka Shiraishi. She's killing it lately with all of the voice jobs she's getting one after the other. Just in 2025, I've watched every single one of her characters, it's crazy:  So yeah, protect her at all costs, of course. And I'm surely watching all of these episodes for this series. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Lloyd really needs to bolster his self-confidence, but at least he made up his mind & asked to officially join Yui's party! lol |
       |
| The power-scaling/ ranking is questionable here. If they didn’t state they were S-Rank, I would have thought they were C/ B-Rank. Yui, the leader, is really annoying. Lloyd, the only true S-Rank, flexing with his custom heal-spells. It seems like it’ll be a bit before he gets an ounce of confidence. I’m curious to see what’s up with Lloyd’s previous party. |
 |
| I like Yui's happy-go-lucky personality. Glad to see Lloyd found a new party who appreciates him. |
| I love it when the mc gets kicked out of the party |
 |
| Yui is so extremely pink, I love her ❤️ It's simple and cliche but I'm enjoying this show lol, I like the art style, and everyone in this party is likable. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Premise is very cliche but I still like it so far. |
| I think I like the way they are structuring the story in the anime better than in the manga. |

@ejleon Even if they did tell Lloyd how great he is. He would deny everything. Sadly it's how this trope works.
| @Moppit Oh I see, that's lousy, wish they could find an in between behavior for the main characters. |

| @ejleon I know the hero party treated him poorly while he was there, but Llyod having zero self awareness, plus no one explaining to him why he's actually really powerful is just so dumb to me. I imagine this is setting up for later on where we'll learn that the hero's party is now doing awful because he left, no? |

| A powerful white mage attack XD He should become an attacker rather than a healer. |

I agree with you, it is that same trope that like 3-4 (maybe more) anime did this and last year, I get it is a go to situation, but they don’t have to do the same thing each time, they can change it up. |

| Lloyd is maybe too powerful for a guy like him but maybe the crew gonna change him for the best! |

Why do I get the feeling lyod is gonna get a harem.
| @juandiqsuc The party (including Lloyd) has two gals and three guys. Maybe they will pickup a gal or two from the Ass-hero's party. |
