As a white mage, Lloyd is constantly looked down on by the hero party's arrogant leader, Allen, who eventually expels him on a whim. Despite being the former student of a legendary mage, Lloyd wanders the city helplessly for days, unable to find a new party in need of a supporting member. However, Lloyd's fate takes an unexpected turn when Yui, the leader of a S-rank group of adventurers, pleads with him to join her party on a mission dear to Yui's heart. Although Lloyd keeps downplaying his abilities, he eventually accepts Yui's aggressive offer. Warmly welcomed by his new allies, Lloyd may have just found the perfect place where his magical prowess will be rightfully valued. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My usual reviews have detailed parts regarding visuals, audio, pacing, story, dialogue etc. Luckily (for me), the reviews are mostly negative, so I'll finish this faster. Everything is sht. Even though they are generic (and I can't believe I've said that), the designs are meh at most, maybe there are 3 of more decent ones. The animation is weird. No cinematography, no decent fight choreography. Lots and lots of copy/paste scenes for the magic casting scenes. Audio. Mid at most. Yes, even the VAs. The ED has decent visuals. And thats it. Character development, pacing, world-building, soft magic system. Ha! You're joking right? And now the reeaaaally "good" stuff.Same old "super mega OP" supporting cast that is kicked out because he looks useless. But at least we get a somewhat likable hero, yes? Or some harem stuff, yes? Or at least just cute girls on screen, in his new party or otherwise, yes? Or at least the anime looks decent enough visually, yes? Anything? Oh, my bad. We get 2 (I don't think there's a third, altoungh it might actually be just one) "lucky pervert" scene(s). Well, that should be enough to give us a second season.... Pfew, that went quick! It gets a 3, or a 4.... I'm not sure, I'm still debating. Not recommended (*gasp* oh, no!). No rewatch value. * double gasp* No idea why this anime was needed. While its not deplorable like some other tiles, it exists just to be there. Oh, its a 4. Some idea of character development for someone other than the main party. Oh, right, I dunno where I should put it, so here: fking terrible sh***y "singing spell". No idea what they tried to do. There are a couple of anime with some kind of a "singing spell" but this one was .... ugh.... Anyway, thats all. Rewatch something you like instead. Have a lovely evening.
This show will tickle that itch in your brain for an OP MC not knowing his own strength but being trained by one of the greatest heroes to live and then joining a nice and family-like party that respects the MC and his power, after being kicked out of the hero's party because of the hero thinking the MC was usless when in actual fact the MC was the only thing making the hero's party work well kinda itch. I’ll admit, at first I thought this was going to be another cookie-cutter “MC gets kicked out but proves everyone wrong” story. And in many ways, itis. But what kept me watching was the way the S-rank party is portrayed. They’re not incompetent or relying on Lloyd to carry them from the bottom up; they were already capable and respected long before he joined. This adds a refreshing twist, since it’s less about the MC dragging weaklings to the top, and more about him finding a group where his skills are actually recognized and valued. It makes the party chemistry feel genuine, not forced. On the technical side, the animation and visuals aren’t anything special. There are rough spots, and nothing about the art direction really stands out. But if you’re here for the characters and the fantasy vibes, it’s serviceable enough. Turn your brain off, and you’ll find the action, magic, and party banter enjoyable without needing every frame to be polished. Kono Shiromadoushi ga Kikakugai Sugiru may not reinvent the wheel, but it does a solid job at what it sets out to do. If you’re craving an easy-to-watch fantasy with an overpowered protagonist who finally finds the right party to belong to, this is one worth giving a try. P.S I guess I'll give this show a "Recommended" review as it needs atleast one :}
I wanted to like this, in theory this series is perfect for me and the type I love to watch, however watching this felt like a chore. I'm not sure why but for some reason this series just missed the mark, I will say it started well with its first episode and there were some good moments, and I liked that he joined a heroes party and they didn't stick around for the entire series unlike what you often see. The main characters are flat and lack appeal, and as this is who we're focused on, spending time with and the reason we're watching, then they shouldhave something that appeals to the viewer. But they lack any real personality, there is no depth so any time with them is just dull. This is made worse when you realise that there are two characters who have potential and would have made a far better focus. Ryouen, the beastfolk who is quirky enough to stand out during her scenes has strong potential as a character, and of cause Merlin, who while still slightly underdeveloped still has more depth than all the others combined almost as if they poured the personality and quirks into her and then said "that's all we can spare, we're at our quota and no one else gets any personality." Needless to say we don't get enough of her in the series. Those are the characters we should have been more focused on and should have been the main cast, or at least give the actual main cast some personality, they should have been given enough depth, quirks and likability to stand out. Normally you expect the MC to be bland in these kinds of series, but it is then the rest of the cast that fills the personality hole, here they just add to the personality vacuum. The plot is generic, terribly generic to its detriment, it is not well paced and the problems started pretty much with what it outlined in the synopsis... He joins the S-Rank party to do a quest, and as soon as they set out the whole thing is dull as anything, its boring, so little happens its like watching paint dry, then what action you do get is so badly done, thought out and animated that it holds no excitement. As the series progresses it doesn't get better it manages to make its battle scenes bland, they are simply something that exists, soulless, joyless, you get nothing out of them. Its not even a question of budget as other studios have managed to pull off better fight scenes and make them more exciting and enjoyable with their low budgets, I'm not demanding spectacular animation here, after all I watch trash isekai for fun. And this is where I also have to admit that the animation quality here is also bad, it is often at times inconsistent, I am used to average quality animation and bad CGI, but things like this shows a lack of care by the studio, and if the studio don't care about what they are making then it is not a good sign, not to mention it feels dated. On paper this series is what I enjoy, trash anime with the OP MC, the kind of mindless fun anime you so often see... Except this series forgot that it should be fun, and when something like this is not even fun to watch, what even is left? The only reason I don't score this lower is because I have seen worse, I can't recommend this as by default most series are better than this one, and from this season Mizu Zokusei no Mahoutsukai is right there showing us how it is done right.
This anime really surprised me in a good way. The animation is smooth and consistent, making every scene enjoyable. I recommend it because the MC is overpowered but not arrogant, which feels refreshing. His character is unique, though sometimes he seems a bit too plain. Still, that makes him more relatable. The story itself is unique, and I enjoyed watching it with my mother—we both smiled a little after finishing. The art style fits the story perfectly, adding to the overall charm. I truly hope for a Season 2, especially to see if he chooses the Master, Yui, or Silica as his girlfriend.
"Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer!" is a generally decent anime — not a must-watch, but not a waste of time either. It’s the kind of show you could easily skip, or toss into your PTW list for when you’re bored and want something light to binge. It’s underrated for what it is (especially after Episode 6), but still not something that will stick with you once it’s over. There’s basically zero rewatch value, though that’s true for most shows of this type anyway. Negatives: 1. Overused and Dumb Setup I really hate the “kicked out of the hero’s party” trope when it’s done for no logical reason— and this is exactly that. The MC gets booted out in a way that makes no sense other than to create drama, only to immediately join another S-rank party where he’s suddenly valued and indispensable. It’s lazy writing, and this anime doesn’t even try to justify it. If the hero’s party could at least function 75% as well without him, maybe it’d be believable. But no — we get the same brain-dead execution seen in 90% of these “exiled hero” stories. Easily the worst thing about the show. 2. Generic Characters and Tropes The characters aren’t awful, but they’re not memorable either. They rely heavily on clichés and make bafflingly dumb decisions, especially in combat. Some can’t even defeat weak monsters without a support mage — despite supposedly being experienced adventurers. You’ve seen these character types a hundred times before, and they don’t offer much new. 3. A Braindead World The world-building makes little sense. Magic exists, seems easy to learn with effort, and yet... hardly anyone uses it? There’s almost no research or development around it, which feels lazy and inconsistent. It’s like the writers didn’t think about how their own setting works. 4. Mediocre Animation Not terrible, not great — just bland. It’s not slideshow-tier bad, but it often feels like it’s a step above that. Functional, but forgettable. Positives: 1. It Gets Better After Episode 6 Once the hero party arc ends, the show finally starts finding its own voice. The story improves, the pacing feels smoother, and it actually becomes somewhat engaging. It goes from a 5/10 mess to a solid 6.5–7/10 experience in the second half. 2. Character Growth (Kind Of) The characters do improve — at least in combat and teamwork. They become more competent, and while there’s not huge emotional growth, it’s still better than what most generic fantasy anime manage. It’s nice to see some development rather than pure stagnation. 3. Fun Battles The fight scenes aren’t visually stunning, but they’re still enjoyable. The monsters are standard RPG-style beasts, yet watching the group overcome them is satisfying enough. Even with average animation, the action keeps things entertaining. Final Thoughts: "Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer!" is what I’d call “trashy but charming.” It’s riddled with clichés, dumb logic, and average production, but somehow still manages to be enjoyable — especially in the later episodes. It’s not something I’d ever recommend as a must-watch, but if you’re into this genre and want a decent binge that gets better over time, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. 6.5/10
Rating: 2/10 - Not worth a watch. Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventure's weak point is by far its visuals. Even at the show's best moments, every single action/battle scene is choreographed and animated at such a subpar level it's hard to feel any tension or emotions while watching; you ultimately just end up waiting for the battle to move on. Scooped Up by an S-Rank at its worst has plenty of scenes where you get to watch our main character as a still image PNG cast spells; a couple of scenes were so bad they caught me by surprise, and I actually laughed, soI guess at times the animation does spark an emotion. Now, we've all watched plenty of shows with poor animation; the reason I'm giving Scooped Up by an S-Rank such a low score is its boring character interactions/dynamics. The main 5 characters are successfully conveyed to be nice people that hold trust in each other and have the power of friendship and what not, but none of their personalities spark any interest. The friendship of the main party is never really threatened with drama or dramatically deepened by overcoming a challenge. Surprisingly, this show doesn't attempt even a glimpse of romance between the characters; it just holds the status quo of friendship that they almost all immediately had for each other. The only character worth watching is Merlin; the entire cast besides Merlin are at best damn near boring. If for some reason you're really feeling the trope of "MC gets kicked out of the hero's party" or have another aspect that draws you to this show, I would recommend just turning to the source material. I have not read the LN, but this animation production does nothing to properly convey the story in an interesting way.
Once again a person has been thrown out of the Hero’s party, joins a new group, and suddenly is the hero party struggling with even basic quests. Maybe the guy they threw out was useful. In this show are we following Lloyd, who was trained by Merlin and then went out to join the Hero’s party as their white mage. He is then kicked out of the group, with a feeling of being useless, but after some luck is recruited into an S-rank adventurer group. We then follow the S-rank party as they have to deal with different challenges. The plot of the show is very classicfantasy with its fundamental structure, but gives some more buildup then other similar shows. So the plot starts with an introduction of the world, which then is followed by the classic scene you see from this type show. After that is the show then focusing on arcs that further evolves the lore and setting, that also carries some more interesting moments. But overall the plot is very easy to follow, predictable and quiet basic, not necessarily bad, but is just lacking something that makes it stand out and more entertaining. Looking at the characters, is it a pleasant surprise that all the characters in the group seem to be detailed to about the same degree. All five members of the group have their own personality and goals, with some different characteristics. Lloyd does get some extra attention with some more details, which also helps push the show in specific moments. But this gives a more interesting group, with not only one person being one making choices. Though overall the characters are very simply written, with a limited amount of details, which makes them easy to read, and leaves little space for surprises. Looking at the side characters though, do some of them seem more interesting then the main cast, since they have secrets, and are not as easily read, which leaves an odd feeling when comparing the two. Production quality is slightly over basic level, since animation and design is not bad, but not rather impressive either. Animation of the show is simple and in fight scenes slightly slow, and most monsters are CGI, but is not trying to seem like more then what they are so it doesn’t feel bad to watch. Design wise the show is nicely designed, but has a lot of assets reused a lot, which becomes repetitive. Thereby production quality is not bad, but is probably average overall. To conclude it all is the show fine, it is doing okay in all aspects and not failing in something specific, so if you want an easy to watch fantasy anime, can i recommend it, if not would i watch something.
Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! Is a nice surprise for this season! We follow our hero Lloyd who has been trained since childhood to be unstoppable, he's grown capable of doing magic without incantations (such an unoriginal trope by this point) yet he's also a meek insecure pushover because he's incapable of understanding his power even when an entire town hails him as the hero. He's bland and kind of unlikable even when he's being heroic, I guess he's a very hollow preset MC that's there for the male viewer to subconsciously self-insert, but overall I warmed up to Lloyd by the end. Fanserviceis there but it's tame which is always appreciated. This anime copied the exact same trope I saw last season, where our hero is in a support role but is bullied and under-appreciated by his team, but very appreciated by a second team who can see his immense power, it isn't doing anything new there, but the cast is likeable if a little one-dimensional. For 2025, the animation is bad but not terrible, the sound design is pretty basic too. Low budget vibe, this honestly doesn’t bother since the ending delivers, I love how Lloyd's background and master take more relevance as the story progresses and how his absurd level of power is explained in a satisfying way, the story moves very fast and it suffers those cut corners, but the author achieves a self-contained closure with an interesting twist related to the nature of magic and meddling with things beyond human control.
The MC is an underconfident annoying support mage. It is a story of how he gets kicked from Hero's party (which he built) and joins an S rank party and their misadventures. Story - 2/10 How badly did they want to make a series on the bandwagon of "Kicked from party" genre that they decided to give this a try? This show is as underwhelming as it gets. It never has any substance throughout the 12 episodes. It starts off as average show and the writing quality drops down to abysmal by the end of it. Characters - 4/10 Few of the characters are good. That is the only saving graceof the show. But those are cancelled out by some really bad dumb characters who are the MC and a fox girl. They bring the show down to an AI generated slop. Animation - 6/10 Nothing great about the animation. But not bad enough to deduct rating for it. It was average animation wherever needed. There are much better shows to view in your time. Avoid this show.

I don't usually write reviews even if an anime is bad because I enjoy a lot of isekai and lower rated shows, yet this is the most abysmal show I have seen to date. When you start watching the first episode is kinda interesting pulling the same old kicked out of the heroes party because he can't speak up that he's helping and heroes are somehow really dumb (this will be a trend in this show). Now we move to where nothing important happens in this show, you don't care about the characters, there is no good fight scenes, there is no character development, thereis no good music or SFX, no good animations, no impactful moments, nothing. This show is as bland of a cookie cutter fantasy show about a guy with social intelligence of a rock and average actual intelligence and no personality as they come, and even that was somehow not done well. TLDR: This was a very painful watch, I got annoyed multiple times each episode and got disappointed even more. Unless you are under 12yo and have watched everything there is, don't watch this
The story is really poorly written and executed. Let's start with the enemies. They are referred to as demons and look like average white people in monk's robes. What's wrong with you? Have you never seen demons in a fantasy story or taken these evil creatures from the Bible? Next comes our main character. Teaching the child some modesty was certainly not a bad thing, but messing him up so that he doesn't recognize his abilities makes him a danger to himself and his environment. The guy has a permanent inferiority complex. This leads him to remain below his potential. I dispute whether this is reallysuch a good development. This poor story is rounded off with ridiculous scenes where the antagonist has all the time in the world to organize his escape, while our team of heroes can only stand 10 meters away and stare in amazement. As if that weren't bad enough, in the last episode we are given an explanation that is brimming with idiocy. We were so advanced that we could do anything with magic. Since it is dangerous, we banned it, but we were so forward-thinking that we knew it would be necessary in the future, so we manipulated it so that you have to give your life to use it. Yes, that's logical! ^.^ But it becomes illogical when the demon lord can use this “ancient magic” without any problems and still cannot be killed.. I cannot recommend anyone to watch this anime. I am desperately trying to find something positive and failing miserably.
This anime was such a chill and enjoyable watch! It’s one of those shows that doesn’t try too hard. just good vibes, a nice story flow, and characters that are easy to like. The pacing felt just right, and I never got bored for a second. The music was a big plus too both the opening and ending were super catchy and fit the tone perfectly. I really hope we get another season with more background on the characters, because there’s definitely potential for more! If you’re into lighthearted fantasy with a comfy atmosphere, this one’s worth checking out. For me, it was a fun and relaxing ride. 6/10 and totallyworth the watch! 🌟
The story was pretty decent overall 😀, and while it didn’t break new ground, it was still enjoyable to follow. The MC often lacked confidence in himself, but instead of dragging the story down, those moments were actually funny 🤣 and added a lighthearted touch. I also really liked the team that formed around him—the group dynamic was fun, and the gang quickly became one of my favorite parts of the show 😁. While I wouldn’t call it a series I’d rewatch endlessly, it’s definitely something I’d recommend as a one- to two-time watch. Simple, entertaining, and with just enough charm to leave me satisfied.

If you've watched any of the plethora of "booted from the Hero's party" type anime in the last several years, then you've seen this story, but done better, as it is quite literally a copy-paste of every element of the sub-genre, just that here, it's done poorly. Very poorly. Although the very first episode of the show gives a glimmer of hope, showing Lloyd being trained by a mysterious and powerful sorceress, that glimmer of hope fizzles out shortly thereafter, and never comes back. Because of the fact that Lloyd's master is so powerful and so amazing, he ends up believing that he's super weak, useless,and powerless, and this becomes his entire character and personality. I would argue that 90% of the dialogue in the entire show is the MC lamenting his weaknesses and then being told "No, you're actually amazing!" by his adventurer buddies. I could make a joke about how this was to cut down on VA costs, because it honestly feels like most characters in this show just repeat the same 5 lines over and over each and every episode. As for the characters, outside of the tank guy called Daggas, who did actually end up with a smattering of decent lines of dialogue, and Claire, the orc girl who is for some reason represented as a cute nekomimi, I could not tell you who anyone else's names are. They are all completely forgettable talking-heads. Everyone in this show is also shown to be at least mildly incompetent too. I won't bother talking about a-hole Hero squad, because that's a given in such a dull re-hash of this sub-genre, although 1 of them does have the mental capacity to realise Lloyd was a key member later on. The main supposed S-Rank adventurer squad though? I mean, in nearly every fantasy show ever, S-Rank adventurers are supposed to be the best of the best. Here, they act like rookies that can only just about work together, although of course, our MC comes in and basically takes over as the leader. The show is also visually bland from a technical perspective too, with a lot of typical "low budget fantasy" elements, like slide-show fights, black-screen cuts, and the usual stuff you'd expect from pumped-out slop. Furthermore, none of the characters, except maybe Claire, have any visual charm or flair to them either. Overall, there is zero reason to watch this show. It is an incredibly boring, bland nothing-burger that has no real redeeming qualities to it, which is unfortunately becoming less and less rare for even someone like me to say nowadays. In my preliminary review done on EP7, I gave this a 4/10, and I think that still stays true. It's bad. I wouldn't say it deserves a lower score than that, because at least the plot, or what there is of it, is cohesive. I still wouldn't recommend it though, obviously. If you do want a recommendation from me, for a show in this genre I found decent-enough, go watch "Beast Tamer" from Fall 2022.
Haiiiyaaaa. Why lah? Last season, I had a great time with Yami Healer. I want this anime genre to, at least, be decent, because I'm just getting back into watching anime. To see this anime throw my faith in the last two episodes is quite sad. But I'll be fair! I won't be like a lot of people just saying the series is just straight up bad, because I do like some of the things in this anime. How did I find this? Anione Asia's anime line-up. Yup! One of the anime from their channel. These people on the Anione Asia channel are pumping up a lot, huh? I'm glad they'redoing this, so people can easily access it without any struggle. Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?) Artstyle! I love how the characters look. When I saw the art, it looked stunning, but... The animation for those arts is something else. We'll talk about it later on the review. Platform Anione Asia, Aniplus TV Korea, Bahamut Taiwan, and Crunchyroll. The review; Plot/Story Since I am new to this genre, I'm just going to be fair with all of you reading my review. Yes, it's literally the same as any other banished from a party anime. There is no twist in it... Well, I said that, I guess there is some kind of twist. The MC was not really powerful before he learned his true power from a powerful hero in the past. He got trained really harshly to the point he never saw himself as worth anything. The rest? Plain and all the same as ever. Character I enjoyed this a lot. I love the interaction between one another. They are so good, and the characterization of these characters is decent. But is it a good overall? No. While the party grows, the MC is still the same as ever. I guess when you build up that power from the start, it tends to wear off so much at the back end, huh? Wonder why? OST/SFX They have something right, though... Well, not all of it. I dislike the OP. The ending is decent. The OST in the anime itself is pretty good. Animation Alright, this section. You see, people tend to always praise the art, right? But when they finally saw how it moved, they gasped and disappointed. That was me. The first half has a good animation, then it went downhill. There are a lot of still frames in the latter 6 episodes and they use CG for the monsters. Haaiiiyaaaa. Why? The first half you guys didn't use 3D. Why sudeenly used it? I don't get it. VA I'll be fair. Yes, they do a great job. I'm happy they at least having fun voicing the characters. Two Thumbs up! The conclusion; The good At least, I can get through this anime with ease unlike Boy-Girl Friendship. The bad Nothing! I just regret that I watch it fully till the end. Graditude As always, thanks, Anione Asia. You once again proved to be a better anime provider channel on YouTube. Overall 5.7/10 Could be better, but I just giving this an average score. I don't really want to recommend it to people.
