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!

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.

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.

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.
