 https://myanimelist.net/anime/60140/ Plot Summary One day, Kurt, a kind-hearted boy, is suddenly kicked out of the Hero's Party for being "useless." He finds that his aptitude for weapons, magic, and all other combat-related skills is the lowest rank, so he takes odd-jobs repairing the castle walls and digging for minerals, where his exceptional abilities are immediately revealed. He proves to be skillful in cooking, building, mining, crafting magical tools—in fact, his aptitude for every skill unrelated to combat had an SSS-ranking! Kurt, however, seems completely unaware to his talent and ends up saving people, the town, and even the country through his unaware actions!?

| This is the second anime of the season with the word "useless" in the description. Is this becoming its own genre? |
| The tomatoes are coming! Arm the dicer! Prepare the olive oil! |
| Episode 1 It begins with Kurt getting kicked out of his party for being useless, and it's easy to see why as he scored the lowest rank for everything. But then Kurt starts to realize that he has a god-tier skill that even he doesn't know about when he fixes up the castle walls in just three hours, which gets him a huge payday but unfortunately gets him fired due to his presence putting the others out of work. Then he goes on a quest with Yulishia to gather gems and manages to create one with a ton of mana energy in it, which gives her quite a huge fortune after selling it to the royal court magician Mimico as she wants to know about Kurt, but needs permission first. And thus, Kurt and Yulishia form a partnership as it turns out that Kurt's superhuman ability to do all sorts of non-combative skills is the result of everything that would be unheard of for others being routine in his hometown. So this show has the feeling of Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town here seeing that Kurt has a god-tier skill that was the result of living in a village where that's normal from the look of things, though without the crazy comedy that show had. In any case, I'm hoping that Kurt's gimmick will be used better moving forward seeing that it didn't properly explain how his special ability got to be so great, all while he remains useless in combat. |
| It's harmless, and I'll keep watching, but I could have sworn I watched this before or read the book(?). |
 |
| Okay, well. It's derivative as hell and so far the way it shows his skills are pretty lame (lifting a sandbag? Really?) but it is not without charm and the leads don't bug me (yet.) I'll keep watching for now. At least it doesn't have stat screens. (also, yet.) |
MenchiK1 said: Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town Yeah, that reveal at the very end made me come here to post just this. Like across between all the "kicked out of asshole party, but actually the strongest" shows crossed with that show |
| Somewhere out there in the multiverse there is a funnier show where he gets sent to the pleasure district. |
| I did enjoy it, but if he stays totally oblivious the entire time then I don't think I'll make it through the season unless it does something exceptional. I wasn't crazy about that gimmick to begin with and my opinion of it has only gotten worse. HOOfan_1 said: Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. As soon as that receptionist sounded impressed just by the location of the village he came from a little bell went off in my head. Like across between all the "kicked out of asshole party, but actually the strongest" shows crossed with that show |

| Credit where credit is due; The first episode's execution of the very tired premise was quite good. I was about to stop watching- not because it was bad, but because of the tired trope- but the flow of the show was actually quite smooth without it feeling rushed or forcing anything that I just ended up watching through it; The VA performances also added some quality into it. Of course, I still won't get my hopes up since we've seen this happen a hundred times before; Being good at first few episodes then being generic and empty for the rest. But, I would set this first episode as the bar-setter for what I'd like to see from the show. Good first impression. Hope they maintain it. marklebid said: That's a much more fitting description of the MC than "Unaware". The other characters- at least the construction supervisor- have not really been shy in telling him things as it is-- he's just really incapable of getting the hint. xDMisunderstanding Atelier Master |

| Well... At least there aren't any slave girls yet. I actually had to remind myself that it's okay if it's (aggressively) unoriginal, as long as they make it entertaining. With that in mind, I think there's enough in this show to keep me watching. My rating is starting off at 5/10, though, just barely acceptable. I hope that Kurt sticks to being awesomely useful outside of combat, rather than finding ways to easily obliterate monsters. |
| Episode 2 Kurt is starting to gain reputation for skills he's unaware about to the point where he's being courted by the nobles to become an Atelier Meister. For his next job, he makes quick work of building a tunnel to allow for easy access between kingdoms. After that, he meets the one known only as the Bandana Lady to get the news that his former party is no more after the leader Golnova was arrested, and she looks forward to working with him again. And then Kurt visits a fellow Atelier Meister in Ophelia and meets her "assistant" Liselotte, who just so happens to be cursed. But with a special porridge, Liselotte's curse is instantly lifted. It is later revealed that Liselotte is actually the princess of Gurumak and somebody wants her dead. Kurt just continues to make miracles happen, and doing so without being aware of what he's doing. Amusing stuff that was. |
| I don't have a high tolerance for stupid characters unless they're especially funny--like the TFS version of Goku from DBZ Abridged--so I'm already tired of Kurt being an idiot. Maybe if this was the first time I've seen this schtick I'd be more tolerant of it. As it is, the show's almost better when Kurt isn't around. Not sure how many episodes I'll be able to stick with this. |

| Episode 3 With Liselotte saved, Ophelia tries to figure out who cursed Liselotte and it narrows down to three suspects with Tristan being the most likely person to have done it. In the meantime, Kurt is doing another job, helping to be the porter for the Sakura party that took on a job, but their porter suddenly fell ill and with time of the essence they need a replacement. Into the cave they go where Danzo and Kans slay goblins, while Kurt and Sina encounter a black ore dragon. While Kurt has no combat ability, he's able to "mine" the dragon and dismantle it piece-by-piece. As for Liselotte, she decides to venture out as an ordinary person, going together with Yulishia. Once again, Kurt shows just how helpful he is and he doesn't realize that what he sees as normal in his homeland is extraordinary outside of it. |
| Third episode and done for me, i'm afraid. I don't hate it, but it's derivative as hell and not really all that interesting nor funny. Gotta prune my queue and this is going to be one of the casualties. |
| Well that was a better ep, but still had it's share of stupidity. Splitting up when they found the secret door made zero sense. Not sure why they told Kurt his skill were a lot lower than they were. Besides so they could keep up the stupid premise of the show I mean. I'm guessing the thief girl from his old party is an agent from his home town. The princess' face is actually kind of creepy looking. The show is better when it focuses on the girls and leaves Kurt as a side character. |

| Popping back in with a last thought - so now there's a triple-S ranking? This author probably thought that was an amazingly cool way to make his character even more powerful than all the other S-ranked and SS-ranked manga characters out there in manga-land. By next season I expect to see at least one quadruple-S ranking somewhere. Possibly stated with a "Dr. Evil" pinky to the lips. |
| Episode 4 It's back to the town where Kurt got his first job after being kicked out of his now-defunct party where he builds a new atelier for the gang. While that's going on, Danzo and Bandana Lady are snooping around trying to figure out the assassination plot, and see that the guy known as Thousand Faces, Bibinokke, is involved. And after a day of work, Kurt builds a luxurious mansion, something that IRL would take at least a year to build that was built in a day. Anybody would be shocked that such a glitzy mansion suddenly appeared, but with Kurt anything is possible. Now, the next order of business is to keep Lise protected from outside threats seeing that the enemies are eventually coming after her, and Lise isn't exactly taking the situation as seriously as she should. |
| The Unaware Atelier Housewife. |
| I can't figure out half of what's going on in this. Weird that they used CG in the end sequence like that. |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Episode 5 It turns out the bishop Tristan is behind the assassination plot, and he works by inflicting a curse on others where they can't eat anything, meaning they eventually starve to death. He's doing that with another former member of Kurt's party in Marlefiss as her reputation has been stained for being a member of that ill-fated party. But as long as Kurt and company are inside the mansion, that curse can't reach anybody inside. And the walls somehow make the skeleton army disappear before they could breach the walls as well. Kurt's handiwork is starting to become known, all while the man who orchestrated everything has been revealed. |
| Man, it's rough to be an anime character whose name is Generic. |
| So they have a whole box of those crystals and decided to just use one of them? Throw one out every gate and you'd wipe out most of their army. Then take a few with you on the way to the ruins. But no, we can't spare the rest of them that have been sitting in this box doing nothing this whole time. Nevermind that we could have Kurt make more. Maybe protecting the princess isn't all that important to them after all. |

| Episode 6 Marlefiss has summoned a demon and has an infinite army, and Yulishia can't even lay a scratch on it. But once again Kurt unknowingly solves the problem as he erased the magic circle Marlefiss had created as if it were nothing, all while the dagger he gave to Lise turns out to be a weapon that can create clones to fool the demon. And just like that the problem is solved and while Marlefiss is off to jail, she's doing so having been freed from her curse given to her by Tristan. While Kurt thinks this is normal, of course none of it is. |
| There's always a loli demon lord. Its some sort of universal anime constant. |
| Episode 7 It starts off with a flashback when Kurt became friends with Hildegarde, and this cute demon girl ended up eating poisonous berries that forced Kurt to have to come up with a cure. And back in the present, Kurt has been named the viceroy of a frontier town, and was also given given a water fowl egg that hatched. The egg hatches and in comes a kid that appears to be three years old, which is not natural. Due to this abnormality that Yulishia tells Kurt to keep his guard up and fully believes she's a monster, but the girl is so attached to Kurt. So Kurt and company take her in and is named Akuri. It's setting the stage for something big to go down, but there's quite a lot of mystery in Akuri, all while what came of Hildegarde after Kurt first met her remains to be seen. |
| Exactly how big was this egg? |
| With everything Kurt can do shouldn't he be able to determine what kind of creature Akuri is? And why did no one think to send a message to that area they got the egg from to see if they know anything about monsters like that? |
| Cursive is the future. - Nate Bargatze |
| Surprise baby....kind of reminds me of the latest season of Devil is a Part-Timer |
| Episode 8 After supercharging a flock of pigs, a dragon arrives, and then a dragon hunter demon lady comes in to attack Yulishia. The dragon hunter comes for Akuri, and the dragon takes Kurt and Akuri away. But they came back just when Yulishia was about to bite the dust. But despite being a demon, Kurt decides to help her when she's found badly wounded after noticing that she didn't finish off Yulishia when she could have easily done so by now. And then Kurt returns to the mansion where he is greeted by an adult version of himself having been installed as the Atelier Meister. Once again, Kurt continues to show everything he can do without knowing about it, all while Akuri made quite the impression. |
| Episode 9 So that guy who looks like a grown-up version of Kurt is actually an illusion Lise created with her dagger. So after interrogating Solflare, Kurt learns that Hildegard is being held captive by the margrave Tycone. Tycone is throwing a festival, and Kurt plans to use this as an opportunity to rescue her. So to the festival they go where everybody is enjoying themselves so much that they nearly forgot about the rescue mission. Akuri sure is livening up the mood there, and apparently she's just a normal human even though she was hatched from an egg. In any case, there's a demon girl that needs to be rescued. |
| Can we have grown up Kurt instead? |
