I watched this pretty quickly, but honestly, it didn’t leave much of an impression — at least not a good one. The story has potential, but the way it handles emotional moments is just… weird. A character who should’ve meant a lot dies, and the cast barely reacts. Then the MC gets in danger, and suddenly everyone’s crying like it’s the end of the world. It felt really off. The heroines don't help either. Their reactions are either over-the-top or weirdly flat, depending on what the plot wants. Most of the time they just exist to boost the MC’s ego or say stuff like “You’re amazing, Sensei!” It’snot unwatchable. I was curious enough to finish it. But once it ended, I realized I didn’t care about any of it — and that kind of says it all.

With a little rebranding this could be a real hit. Instead of that nonsense title they gave it, they should have called this show "Generic Harem Adventure Fantasy" and just rolled with its strengths as a parody of the genre and industry. Unfortunately we didn't get the self-aware spin so what's left is a generic harem adventure fantasy without a layer of creative humor on top of it. There's a plot but it hardly matters, it gets walked through like an afterthought. The plot actually ain't bad, but again, it's just a backdrop to hareming in the service of a soulless and robotic audience insert protagonist. Yourharem features your a legal loli, a redheaded country girl, a sultry tanned elf, a tomboy catgirl, some random blonde chick, and a not legal at all loli, and fortunately they all understand their sole reason to exist quite perfectly. You'll sit through a lot of talking around the table and completely unearned extended tear-jerk-bait scenes along the way, but the art is good and everybody is guaranteed a happy ending, you and your harem. 24 episodes of it. And 24 more coming since they upped for a S2!
The best part of all is that the world will completely stop, and yes this includes the reality-eating dragon, while you get your thoughts together and resolve your personal crises and inner conflict, or heal up and boost the morale of your team. The ruleset is pretty generous since this universe exists to provide a happy ending to you and your harem. They might have explained this in the lore in one of those talky parts I slept through.
You're a hero now, audience insert protagonist, and it's time to harem the multiverse to its salvation!

In my opinion, from a visual, music, and several other aspects, this anime has quite good execution compared to other anime of similar genres. I honestly forgot the last time I saw a fantasy sword and magic anime like this. However, there are some shortcomings, especially with the story's inconsistent pacing. Sometimes I really enjoy it, but at other times I get very bored, or even worse, confused about why the story is like this. But because recently there have been so many isekai or sword and magic fantasy anime with very poor execution, my standards have become a bit skewed 😂. So, I think thisanime is pretty good to enjoy as entertainment. Don't take the story too seriously because, in my opinion, it's quite MID on the plot side. Still, I certainly enjoyed it enough, and I might recommend you watch this anime.

I got a pretty high tolerance for the "unappreciated hero" thing in anime. I'm totally ready to be pissed that he's being treated so bad and wait for the jerks to get their just desserts. So I went into this show with pretty high hopes. So, I'm pretty bummed that unfortunately the show also features the classic "world's most boring guy is loved by a bunch of cute girls for no apparent reason" thing. Ugh. I don't hate harem animes, I don't think? But ones I like are the "who will he end up with" ones, not the "they're all trying to jump him allthe time" ones. And this is definitely the bad kind and not the good kind.
BUT even if you're someone who LIKES boring hero harem shows, I got bad news. There's 24 episodes and they coulda cut half of them. The pacing is SO bad. Whole episodes go by with the characters literally just running back and forth and not accomplishing anything. It's dire. The show desperately wants you to FEEL THINGS, but I gotta say, even some last episode sacrifices left me just "meh."
I think the most frustrating thing is with some editing and a stronger MC romantic pairing, I think I'd probably have liked the show pretty good. But not as it is. And the "To Be Continued" that gets displayed after the final credits roll felt like a threat.

Nothing new under the sun here. They're just reinventing the wheel, that's all. So what's this about? 1. It's a harem - one guy, multiple girls 2. Not ecchi though - don't expect naked women everywhere 3. Fantasy setting - magic and special powers included 4. Action-packed - fight scenes scattered throughout 5. OP main character - strong but not god-tier like others in this genreWhat you should expect:
1. A decent story. With 24 episodes, the storytelling and logic hold up better
2. Cute characters (especially the girls) with great voice acting. Nene as Rain and Mao as Jamie are standouts
3. Above-average animation and colors - it's Bandai Namco after all (the Gintama folks)
What not to expect:
1. Deep philosophical themes. This is pure entertainment, not award-winning drama
2. Any real romance - this isn't shojo territory
Final verdict: Highly recommended as light entertainment. Perfect to watch with your coffee. Solid 7/10.

This is Trash Anime at it's Worst or Best... depending on your view. Sometimes stories, evolve into something, the author did not intend. Take Food Wars, I believe Erina was intended to connect with Souma at the beginning. However Megumi becomes a much strong and more reliable character and companion. Could I be wrong a both the original intentions, sure, but you get my meaning. The Good.... OP - I really Like it. Rule of Anime, if you like the OP, there is a good chance you will like the anime. I got Tricked. Artwork- pretty Solid. If Arifureta this quality, it mightnot have been trashed so hard be reviewers.
Macro Level Story World - From the Top level, I was intrigued by the World Building and interested in where the story was going to go.
That's the Good.
The Bad....
Marina - Not because of her character, but what the Author did to her, or more to the point did not do to her. Marina, started off and a interesting and best Character that eventually got ignored. She really end up accomplishing nothing throughout the show. She could have easily carried the show. Best Girl
Dialog - was it the Eng Dub or the original, I do not know. Either way, the dialog seemed to be written by a middle schooler.
The Harem - Excluding Rain (see Ugly) the rest of the Harem, where lifeless. When you find your self rooting for the traitor that almost got you killed, that's bad.
The Ugly....
English DUB VA's are Terrible. I thought I was Watching a Netflix Dub.
MC - Yuke is the Worst of the Worst Beta Male. I have been involved in a lot of Teamwork/Leadership scenarios in my life. There is no successful scenario, where the MC would be in charge/leader of anything.
Rain - was about as interesting as a blank sheet of paper.
24 Episodes - I can give you a huge list of amines, way better then this, that did not get pas 12 episodes. This was a long drawn out, nightmare.

I'll keep it short. I've had a hard time to finish it, I wasn't even gonna review it but I've seen some people say that it had potential and that made me go "hold my beer". This anime is sht. The only notable part is the "streaming while dungeon diving" angle. But thats it. And now I'm gonna cover this anime very quick. Visuals. The artstyle is decent. And then: he animation is meh, the vfx are somewhat ok only when it counts, the postures are weird, not ok cinematography, not ok fight choreography. There are some weird scenes where the girls are sitting down, each inher own space, a full arm length between them, no feel of closeness. Plus, pretty inconsistent in measurements in-between scenes. Also, the quality of visuals for the "normal" stuff takes a dive in the last episode(s).
Audio. I can't believe I'll say this but I guess it was ok. There were some weird choices for soundtrack (like something resembling a choral), but very dim in the background and slowly rising the levels only when the scene also grew. So, a nice touch. The OP is ok, same for the visuals. For the EDs, I remember only the last one (out of 3??), the one for the last 8 episodes(?) and it was sht. The VAs did ok. I mean, the dialogue was sht and there wasn't a lot to work with, but for some scenes, you could feel them "acting".
And now, all the good stuff. The story is supposed to be good. But the dialogue is sth and you can't get a good grip on it. As in "yes, we are inside Anachomical Darkness (or whatever that name was, I don't remember, I don't care hard enough to check). We need to keep our wits. We will reach the lowest floor and get inside Anachromical Darkness (again, don't know don't care)." That piece of dialogue is more or less (ok, less) the same as in the show. It takes 10 seconds to slap you with nonsense. The pacing is all fked up. Each character feels the need to talk just for the sake of talking. Either the option of each of them to say "yes, i will. yes, I will also do that. same here. me too." or the option "i have an idea, here is the idea, but it is too dangerous and here are the reasons as to why, so let's forget it. no no, we will do it, haven't you learned by now that we will stand with you? oh, ok, thank you." So, the valid reasons are completely disregarded 2 minutes later. I'm not exaggerating. I know that it sounds like I'm trying to make it worse, but that really is in the show, multiple times. But I'm going spoiler free, just trust me.... Copy paste dialogue, copy paste villains, copy paste over and over. Nothing happens and keeps dragging. The whole season could've been done in 8-10 episodes without all those filling scenes. Lets continue. The script is dumb, full of retarded logic, plot holes, plot contrivances and plot devices. In short, stuff happens because the author whats it, not because it makes sense. It might even be a self-insert situation (we are told in the last episode, there's even a scene in the background with a city and a mountain behind it, but maybe I'm just imagining things), but don't know don't care, I won't check. Speaking of last episode. Sad scene, 10 seconds later ( literally 10 seconds later) happy scene. Sad scene, 10 seconds later (ok, now more like 30 secs later) happy scene. The sad scenes were supposed to be emotional and tear-jerking. Btw, the show keeps trying to tell us how we're supposed to feel, to react. Should I also talk about the no character development, about the fake drama happening all around just to fake the idea of characters having emotional debates? I won't bother, sorry.
Oh, I just remembered. Episode 13 (13-16, one of those :))) ) starts in a way that made me think I missed something. Later, we get an explanation, but in the moment I had to stop and check if I skipped an episode, if the actual episode was missing the intro, I checked the timestamps etc. The idea being: this show is a waste of time. Both ways. Again, good news: the show ends with "...to be continued". Yeeey........ I don't know if its true or its just they hoping, I won't check.
So, apparently I lied, this was not "short". Sorry. I had no idea I hated it THIS much. Anyway. This is an anime thats supposed to be about... I don't even know. Its a kind of harem (a shi**y one, I forgot to talk about it, I won't, just trust me) with a wimpy MC and a lousy "main girl"; a kind of fantasy (sht, I also forgot about the no world-building stuff, not a coherent one anyway); a kind of action and adventure (yeah, right :)) ) with a lot of copy paste ideas, about a MC thats not appreciated to his real value, to his full potential. So, like in any other anime of the last 5 years, the MC leaves or is kicked out of the party and he starts anew. Now, with the said non-romantic harem. Thats it. Lots and lots and lots of "talking" while some "irrelevant" stuff about the end of the world happens around them. Luckily, those events take a long time and they can talk more about "feelings" and how the MC should rely more on them.
At this point I think I probably should've deleted it all and create a normal, full review. But like this show I just said "fk it, too late now" :)))
I'm giving it a 3, not recommended. Mostly for the art style, sometimes a decent animation, the soundtrack. But its a sht show, with bad story, bad pacing, shi**y harem or adventure and fantasy, no character development, nothing. So no, no potential wasted because there wasn't one to begin with. No return value. I would've said it won't get a new season but it subverted my expectations...
Have a lovely day.

A barely mid and fine anime, so mixed feelings. There are parts I enjoyed, but most of the time I was yawning. I can't decide if this anime is chill or boring (probably boring). As the premise goes- Yuke leaves his party of arsehole and joins a dream party of capable pretty women. Harem, acquired. They go on adventures and save the world and stuff. Sounds interesting, right? Except, it's not. The execution was kinda deadpan. Like, they'll say oh new mission- okay now Clover (Yuke's new harem party) goes here, and now they fight this monster. They defeat it. Yay. Now back to the city.And repeat.
How are the characters? Yuke is..."okay". He's a softy, but he does have a backbone when it matters, so I'll give him that. Like when he stands up to his former party. I also like that he does show emotions, although it's usually happy or sad (not much inbetween). His harem is okay as well. The best is Rain, who is also his #1 love interest. She's cute. She's also the only one who gets to express herself in the show. The rest are there and they do stuff, but feels like it just doesn't hit. Bascally, they're just there to fill the harem fantasy.
The action? Uh, it's like reading a book. I mean, Clover does try to use "strategy", but it's the same evey time. Buff, de-buff, magic pew pew, then have vanguard go slice. Aaand it's over. Lol it literally happens every time. So yeah, it's boring, sadly.
The story is okay as well. It starts of really good, because there's actually tension between Yuke and his former party. Someone once said you need pressure to make diamonds. That's what hooked me. But sadly, it ends 1/4 of the way through. Then we get a boring middle arc. The final arc was pretty good though- boring action, but intriguing ideas.
So what is good? I love how they incorporate "cameras" in the dungeon to showcase the party. I don't think I've ever seen that before in a fantasy setting. Fans and other adventurers get to see and cheer or boo as they like. I honeslty thought they should lean more into that because it's such an interesting concept. The other positive is Yuke and Rain's relationship. You get to see them grow close together and fall in love. Didn't expect that from a harem type story, but it was welcomed.
So yeah, over all- mid. If you're super duper bored and have absolutely nothing else you'd rather watch, yeah give it a shot. If not, there's better shows to invest in.

If I could summarize the show in 1 sentence it would be "Tell, don't show." While I enjoyed this series and think the first few episodes were good, it didn't take long for it too develop problems. The series became way too fast paced, introducing an issue or threat and within three episodes it was eliminated. Character development, backstory and even normal story telling feels like it went out the window by the end of the first season. The ladies that joined the harem had decent personalities and desires but quickly turned into slightly different versions of the same person.There was some fleshing out of one girls background but it was only really their as a pretext for the harem to get started.
I don't know if the manga also suffers from this problem but it kinda kills the show for me. For instance the final episode could have been 2+ episodes easy, even without drawing out fight scenes, with the amount of things that are dropped. I could even argue the last 5-10 min alone could have had a whole episode devoted to it if not two.
Had the series been 3-4 seasons covering the same content but fleshing the story out it would have been so much better. The animation was good, the story was interesting and the characters could have been good. As it is I can't really justify suggesting it to people but I would try to talk someone out of watching it, so long as they were aware of the pacing.

Superficial story, even more superficial relationships. Fails at making it relatable and fails at making you feel whatsoever for any of the characters. Only decent points are the animation quality and the okay voice acting. Characters don't look unique at all and their backstories are even less unique. Their interactions are very bland and their quotes are extremely cliche. You can guess the entire season by watching the first 2 minutes of each "important" event. If you've never watched an anime before, it will make you hate anime. And if you have watched anime before, there's no way you can drop your standards to likethis.

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! - Sensei, please let me join in on your harem party of female students, as I support your endeavour of getting kicked out from the party that abuses you to no end, and you'll be happier living with us sharing the communion of adventures together while we slowly fall in love with you! (Yelp, I just felt the cringe of that...) To be frank, I dread the curse of every season featuring the "Banished from the Hero's Party" rhetoric, which, like Isekai (or just fantasy in general) itself, has been nothing butunderwhelming and exposing more of the "hidden can of worms" that ambitious authors can write what they want, but it'll always end up being the sloppy and generic mess that there's no way out of this trend that has been ongoing since post-COVID. Sure, many ideas have been tested and exploited before, but with anime being anime, the consensus will find it hard to justify anything good about this trope being so repetitive and unoriginal that it's easy to just give up on these shows for better or for worse.
Yet, for the seemingly baffling decision to have one such author be given the good grace of a decent (but questionable) adaptation, let alone a consecutive 2-cour, 24-episode-long run, this is the first of which I'll see is quite the "justifiable" approach. And that blessed person is novelist Kousuke Unagi and his lone work of A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu. (shortened to ApaRida) a.k.a I Left my A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!, a work that's made to be heavily tropey and generic as possible within the adaptation of the Syosetu web novel, as well as the LN's 5 volumes, which ran from October 2020 and June 2021, respectively, to February of this year (2025).
You know the drill when it comes to these "Banished from the Hero's Party" tropes: the useful-but-"useless" character gets his own mockingbird commentary by his own party, and they keep jeering endlessly at the hopes that he would eventually quit under the pressure, or at worst, even be forced to get booted by his leader thinking that they can get someone better than the one they replaced. This is just cookie-cutter party-ousting business, and the character in question is Yuke Feldio of the popular A-Rank party, Thunder Pike. The Red Mage who plays a support role providing stacked boosts to the party members themselves, might not look like much, but Yuke is one hell of a support character whose skills are already so good, there's no need to improve him further. However, his Thunder Pike party, namely its leader, Simon Berkley, whom he and Yuke had a dream to grow and become bigwigs in the adventurer party scene, saw otherwise of his childhood friend and turned his back against him, thinking that he's the superior hero and tactical genius over the humble young man. In reality, like all heroes with a facade, Simon can't do two shits about dealing with fights and the like, retreating as he saw fit and letting the other members of Warrior Barry, Healer Priestess Camilla, Mage Jamie, and Yuke take the brunt of the force, and he only claims credit if the party does a good job and word reaches out to the streets of the kingdom itself. Trust me, Thunder Pike, without Yuke, it would be a massive, easy undertaking to take them all down because of their pure ignorance and willingness to satiate their ego, pride, and power as the "best" adventurer party to ever exist.
However, and thankfully, there's a silver lining for the ex-mage of Thunder Pike, because by pure chance and coincidence (and good timing), Yuke finds 3 of his former students who are looking to establish an adventurer party of their very own, and it's with this context that the brand-new adventurer party of Clover is born. Though Yuke has a lot to teach his former students on how to get better at the job, since he's the one with the most experience, he allows them to be humbled before him and receive his tutelage. And over time, like a real cloverleafthat expands its leaves, the party itself gains notoriety for completing difficult missions that are known throughout the kingdom, and its citizens recognize that Yuke and his party of girls are the ones to watch out for as the prime example of an outstanding adventurer party.
About the only thing that's interesting in ApaRida is that, where in your typical fantasy show, adventurer parties are standard to being given quests by the Guild and go out and execute the missions fairly to get said rewards, the series incorporates the idea of livestreaming the accomplishments of the actual quests themselves on full display. So think of it as like a ranking system of sorts where ordinary people, everyone, can join in the fun by watching them right in the kingdom's centre atrium, or, in the case of the series in general, be used as evidence against the many attempts from indiscrimination to collaboration.
With the series clearly labelling itself as a harem theme, I'm not surprised that Yuke develops many admirers along the course of his redemption as the leader of Clover, seeing that he's the true hero character that many will look up to him for, and that includes each and every single female member of Clover itself. The starting "Pokemon" trio of the Sword Mage "countryside bumpkin" Marina, the Dark Elf Ranger "mother figure" Silk Amberwood, and the Priestess/Mage "shy and sleepyhead" Rain are about as ideal as young ladies would get starting out their first phases of adventuring, though with the inexperience that Yuke has trained and topped up as the series goes, they become part of the party's pillars to hold their own weight and provide some serious firepower to the group. Adding to the list of Yuke's potential "wife" characters is the ninja cat girl Nene Shilfindle, whowas accused of a crime and was forced to be under the supervision of Clover, though she soon proved her own value and was considered an official member of the party. However, last but not least, there is Yuke's once a fellow party member of Jamie Osen, who was originally part of Thunder Pike but treated him with morality and was blamed for being the scapegoat after his forced dismissal. The first female character to ever care for the ex-Red Mage without any discrimination, though she'd at times turn her back on him when circumstances forced her to do so due to the domineering characteristics of the incorrigible scum that is Simon, and then being given a pardon for all of the sufferings that he knows have tormented her too, I just feel sad for Jamie that she should've been the one sticking by close to Yuke, though her circumstances really didn't befit her to do so.
As you can expect, all 5 female members of Clover, which is a small reference to the 5-leaf clover (and if you've watched Yuki Tabata's Black Clover), even with the uncommon 5th leaf being devil's advocate (of which Jamie used to be one), all of them have their eyes on Yuke being the Sensei who impresses the lot with the kingdom's Adventurer Guild and working alongside its staff of Guildmaster Benwood and chief receptionist Mamal, as well as other nations' guilds. The serious young man with a penchant to always improve his team, thanks to the influence bred from his famous Uncle Saga who sealed the evil forces with a world-famous adventurer party...so, like uncle, like cousin, I guess? But with the focus on adventuring comes the naivety that Yuke is semi-conscious of the Clover girls who are into him and wanting to become his "wives," so have that if you will, with the manga adaptation of the LN being somewhat more explicit than the anime itself, which is entirely dedicated to the fantasy and action elements.
And speaking of the adaptation, Senki Zesshou Symphogear's series director Katsumi Ono and Bandai Namco Pictures did alright on the overall production of the somewhat obtusely longer-than-usual run of the anime itself. Generally, you can trust BN Pictures to produce animation that is above average, and it would've worked either way to keep it consistent throughout its 6-month-long run, which is saying something.
Sad to say, as much as music composer Go Sakabe has been quite the famed name in composing high-profile series like Date A Live and the Digimon Adventure tri. series of movies, his work here is just kind of meh and forgettable. And when it comes to the theme songs, it fares better than most. This is especially for Kazuma Kawamura, formerly of the J-Pop group THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE, whose series' OP song "Enter" is his debut solo under his new stage name of L.E.I. It sounds decent for the most part and is actually good in the sea of overbearing, mediocre fantasy works. As for Yuki Tanaka, her most recent Anisong journey has grown since last Fall's sequel of Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru a.k.a As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World, I'd say that she still has a ways to go with creating good Anisongs in general, though between all of her 3 ED song creations for the anime, the 2nd ED song, "Mirror," is (objectively) the best.
Throughout all the talk and justifications I've listed in the review, ultimately, you just want the TL;DR version of whether it's worth your time or not. My judgment, however, is one that teeter-totters on either extreme: if you don't mind an above-average fantasy adventure series, even considering that it's generic at best, ApaRida is a decent, yet watchable experience altogether. Sure, it's not the best in terms of its own oversaturated genre, but it's a lot better than the truly 3rd-rate shows of a similar nature.
"Kiss, Marry, Kill," what would be your choice? ApaRida has those choices for you, if that's worth entertainment at all.

The story is very superficial. The target audience is clearly immature teenagers. The adventures are more like a camping trip in a wildlife sanctuary. I found the Western ideology remarkable. Something that, in my opinion, has no place in an anime. The romances hinted at in this anime are at a kindergarten level. The anime lacks suspense or compelling content. The streaming event in this world only adds another component that seems out of place. Furthermore, the classic "black and white" situations are once again presented, such as an illegitimate child from a "noble family" suddenly being forced into marriage, even though no one knowsthat she was even part of this noble family and was left to fend for herself. The conflict with his original party is also as unrealistic as it gets. Ultimately, our hero isn't really a hero either, more like a "housewife" who can do anything and is happy to serve his women's group. As is the case in real life, the women in his group treat him like a real "friend." He's just a soft-spoken wimp, and the warning "I'm a man too" underscores this SIMP attitude.

Well, before i even enter into details and for those who just want a fast opinion , this show's mid. Just that. Mid. Once again, im not certain how much they cut to fit this season and the story arcs into all these 24 episodes, so it might be a slightly different experience as a manga,but as an anime, it was honestly quite dissapointing after a pretty strong start. But even with that, there's quite a few fundamental issues . First and foremost is the supporting cast of the MC. For the first time the MC isn't the guy i dislike the most, even though it usuallyhappens in these sorta shows. Outside of the MC's party, characters are their own thing, but inside the party it's another story. All of the girls are basically only there to boost the guy. I would've expected a certain degree of autonomy from them, especially since those 3 acted as a party without him for plenty of time, but they let him join and he basically hijacks the party, while they listen to his every word like he's speaking a god's edict. And i wouldn't have minded the first 3 to have feelings for the guy, since they already knew eachother from before and he actually helped them and all. But Nene's affection for him feels so damn forced and out of nowhere that it's just annoying.
Then you have the world itself..... It's baren. Empty. They crawled multiple dungeons and barely encountered any god damn monsters. And when they encountered them they basically 1 shot them... And most of the monsters are so plain and straightforward it's never that intresting.
Finally... The animation. They clearly barely had budget for 12 episodes, but they stretched this season for 24 . It's painfully obvious becuase after those first 12 it turns into a yapping simulator. They walk and they talk and they walk in god damn circles over planning and all that stuff, it becomes a real god damn snoozefest. It also looks like the story itself felt like it was lacking behind in the first 12 episodes, so after that they started stacking achievements for the MC ,ruining the pace hard.
A strong start a mediocre continuation and a finish into yap central. I can only recommend the first half and barely.

This is another series that overworked Japanese salarymen can use to fantasize about leaving their jobs with bosses that don't appreciate them enough. The catharsis here is that things would immediately fall apart for the team that didn't realize the true extent of the protagonist's silent contributions, and the self-insert goes on to immediately become ultra-popular with a bunch of cute girls, followed by the satisfaction of the old team crawling back and begging him to return. This show does almost nothing particularly new or noteworthy. There's a small handful of plot details that are interesting, but otherwise it's all about as generic as could be.It's playing the tropes pretty much as straight-up as it can, and its execution is only somewhere between "mediocre" and "average". All the girls are cute and the starter trio is very reminiscent of Mushoku Tensei. There's a blue haired girl with a flat chest, a red haired swordswoman, and a white-haired elf, all of which are roughly analogous to Roxie, Eris, and Sylphie respectively. The redhead even has the same English VA that Eris does in the MT anime. Unfortunately, they're not nearly as well-characterized as in MT -- they're mostly cardboard cutouts without much personality beyond being blandly sycophantic to the protagonist. Rain (the discount-Roxie) has the most work put into her, but it still barely amounts to anything by the end of season 1. Even the protagonist himself barely has a personality beyond the most basic of "I care about all of you". At least he's not a whiny annoying loser like Subaru from Re:Zero.
If I didn't have a soft spot for harem tropes then this series probably would have bored me to tears. Even with my predisposition towards these types of shows, this was just a little too bland and uninspired for me to rate it as "good". I certainly didn't hate it, and it did pique my interest every now and then, but nevertheless it was nothing special.

A classic adventure fantasy, where the main character leaves his original party to join someone who actually appreciates him, which of course is a harem. In this show do we follow Yuke, who has decided to leave the A-rank party Thunder Pyke, to find someone who will appreciate him for what he brings to a party. He then decides to join his former students, and together explore the dungeons' depths. Though his new party is of course the start of a Harem. Plot wise the show goes through multiple arcs, with each of them bringing the team closer together and introducing new people for them to meet.It follows some very classic tropes for this type of show, but takes its own twists on things and builds a more expansive world. These twists are a mix of darker turns and more complicated story techniques, with some having great success and others not so much. Overall, it results in a rather classic version of a fantasy adventure, with some unique parts to its story, which in general is fairly well made.
The characters of the show are, to shortly say very simple, which is not necessarily bad, but is just not very enticing. Each of the different characters' personalities are stereotypes that have been seen before, though they are executed well and do have some of their own quirks to them. The interactions between the characters are all rather nice, but is clearly built up around it being a Harem, with little drama to be seen. When looking at the characters outside of the main group does most of the side characters just seem to be filler, that acts just the way you would expect. Though it is predictable, is it not always bad, since a good execution of something classic is still nice. So the characters are very much as you would expect, both the main group and the side characters, though with some uniqueness to it.
The production of the show itself is fitting very much as you should see from a fantasy adventure. We have some nice details in combat and an overall smooth animation, but with a lot of assets being reused, both in and outside of the fight scenes. This is not necessarily bad but is showing a bit of lack of creativity or time in the production of the show.
All together the show is fine, but is not something special. It is not directly bad in any places but is just rather basic, and just seems like it tries to be more than it is. So if you just want something easy and fine to watch, I recommend it, but if you want something more enticing, I recommend finding something else.

Well, it's fine, there are some cliffhangers that wants you to watch the episode more, the animation is quite good when it comes to magic but the overall animation is just decent. What I can say is that although it is enjoyable, it lacks proper development, the characters are just showcased on the surface level, there are no deeper emotions except Rune where she had to sacrifice. The characters are too optimistic like they knew all things will work out for them. The dungeon thing is quite different about other anime where there are dungeons. The concept of it connecting to other world is newto me or probably, the first one I've seen. I finished this in 1.5 day since I started watching yesterday night. Overall, it is fun, characters are bit generic and no deeper exploration, or real challenge but I completed my 1 anime per day so it is okay for me. Recommended? maybe if you want to see a different kind of dungeon but it was 55/45 for me. Rune is probably my fav character and it's just sad she was gone, If I have powers to traverse worlds, I will look for her lmao

At first glance, A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa… looks like your typical “MC gets kicked out of a top party” setup, and I honestly thought it was going to be another sloppy anime with an overpowered main character and a predictable harem. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. As the episodes go on, it transforms into something much more engaging, a hidden gem that doesn’t seem to be getting as much attention as it deserves. Hopefully, over the years, more people will discover it because this was a genuinely good watch. What makes it stand out is the dynamic between Yuke and Clover.Their adventures together are fun, heartfelt, and exciting, and you can really see how their bonds strengthen as they face challenges. The party is arranged with your typically 3 architypes, with the mage Rain, the archer Silk and the swordswomen Marina. Yet, even though we have seen this combination many times before its nice to watch this party grow and develop through their battles and experiences with Yuke being a teacher at the start and then becoming the leader later on. Additional, even though a Clover has 4 leaves, this Clover (aka the party) may just grow some more if you watch ;}. Additionally, Romance-Fantasy watchers do not fear as; Rain’s relationship with Yuke, in particular, develops in a meaningful way that adds a lot of emotional weight to the journey. Instead of a shallow harem dynamic, we get a believable, growing party whose interactions feel genuine and rewarding to watch.
The world itself is colourful and vibrant, with lively backgrounds, interesting characters, and magic that pops on-screen. The visual style really shines during the action sequences, especially when the Clover party unleashes their magic in my opinion. Yes, there are moments where the animation dips and looks a little rough, but at its best, it’s fantastic: clean, crisp, and exciting to watch. The overall presentation gives the series a charm that balances both the lighthearted and the serious moments.
With all this in mind, A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa… is far from the generic fantasy story it first appears to be. It has a solid balance of character growth, colourful worldbuilding, fun action, and heartfelt party dynamics that elevate it above expectations. And with a second season already announced, there’s no better reason not to give this one a try and get invested in Clover’s journey with Yuke.

This anime was an unexpectedly great watch for me. The story follows a seasoned adventurer who steps away from his A-rank party to guide his former students through the dangerous depths of a dungeon. It’s a refreshing take on the fantasy genre with a strong focus on growth, mentorship, and trust. I really enjoyed the pacing—it was so engaging that I didn’t even realize how quickly time flew while watching it. The plot is straightforward but executed really well, and the dynamic between the MC and his students was a highlight. The development of each character, especially the way the students learn and improve over time,felt satisfying and genuine.
Most of the characters were likable, and they each had their own personality and role in the group. Though, I’ll admit, a few of them really got on my nerves at times—but that just shows how emotionally invested I was in the story! Also, I have to say, the MC’s uncle was just plain cool—he added a lot of presence to the scenes he was in.
Overall, this anime was a really enjoyable ride. It had heart, action, a bit of humor, and a lot of adventure. I loved watching it and wouldn’t mind a second season if they ever decide to continue the story.

🎬 -Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu (2024) 🔥 “So bad it made me write a full rant by accident.” 📉 Overall Score: 4.0/10 📖 Story — 3.0/10 You’ve seen this story a hundred times: the MC gets disrespected, leaves his elite party, and suddenly becomes amazing with his new (of course, all-girl) team. But here, it's dragged out, poorly written, and painfully predictable. Dialogue is copy-paste, emotional moments feel forced, and key plot points are told—not shown. Add pacing issues and awkward transitions, and you’ve got a story that’s hard to care about. 🌀 Plot — 3.0/10 The plot is a collectionof tropes glued together without logic. People talk just to fill time, plans are proposed then ignored, and tension dies quickly because no one makes smart decisions. The story meanders through filler, ignoring stakes or logic, and could’ve easily wrapped up in half the episode count.
👥 Characters — 3.5/10
Flat, recycled personalities. The MC is generic and the harem feels obligatory. No growth, no complexity. Characters often repeat lines for no reason ("Yes, me too" moments happen way too often), and emotional weight is often missing. Even the “bonding moments” feel disconnected and lifeless.
🎨 Visuals / Animation — 5.5/10
The art style is decent, and there are brief moments where effects work well. But overall animation is inconsistent, especially in later episodes. Posture and composition often feel unnatural, and some scenes lack visual emotion. Fight choreography? Clunky at best. Still, it’s not the worst visually, which is saying something.
🎵 Music / Audio — 6.0/10
Probably the least bad element. The soundtrack has a few surprising touches—like subtle choral builds during key moments. The OP and ED are forgettable but serviceable, and the voice actors manage to act through weak material with occasional heart. You can tell they tried.
🎯 Execution — 3.0/10
This anime doesn’t fail just because it’s cliché—it fails because it doesn’t try to be anything beyond the cliché. It borrows everything from better shows without adding anything new. Worldbuilding? Minimal. Emotional payoff? Forced. Logical flow? Absent. And then it has the nerve to end with: “To be continued.” Oof.
📌 Final Thoughts:
This isn’t a “so bad it’s good” show. It’s just a slog. If you really need a background anime with some dungeon visuals and waifus talking about feelings while the world ends somewhere offscreen—maybe this will do. But if you're looking for story, characters, or meaningful adventure? Look elsewhere.
⛔ Not recommended—unless you're curious just how bland and baffling a dungeon anime can get.
