Synopsis

Lloyd trained under a legendary sorceress and became a white mage who you'd think would earn some respect. Instead, the hero party's leader treats him like dead weight and kicks him out on a whim. Now Lloyd's wandering around town, unable to find anyone who wants a support-class member, completely oblivious to the fact that he's absurdly overpowered. That's the setup for this 12-episode TV series, and if you enjoy watching a humble protagonist slowly realize they've been underselling themselves the whole time, this one lands pretty well. Things shift when Yui, the leader of an S-Rank adventurer party, practically begs Lloyd to join her team for a personal mission. What starts as a simple high wolf hunt turns out to be way more dangerous than expected, and Lloyd's abilities start speaking for themselves even as he keeps insisting he's nothing special. The vibe here is less power fantasy victory lap and more quiet redemption arc. There's genuine warmth in watching someone who was made to feel useless find people who actually value what he brings to the table. The show also does something nice by treating the white mage role as legitimately important rather than just "the healer who stands in the back." If you liked Banished from the Hero's Party or The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses, this hits a similar sweet spot, low-key fantasy with a protagonist finding his footing outside the group that never deserved him.

I'm not sure if this deserves a 2nd season or not but I'll probably read the manga just to see what happens and how Merlin story develops afterwards. I find her to be a lot more interesting than Lloyd lol

This one gets a higher rating than last episode because of Merlin 🥰 anyways, everything before Sybils segment was pretty bad if you ask me. A lot of things still make no sense to me and it feels both rushed and slow at the same time. Once Sybil came into the picture it was like they suddenly had better writers lol. I got teary eyed when I saw Merlin crying 😢.

They stood there watching their enemies scheme for ages and then implement said scheme just to continue watching to finally being surprise their attacks didn't work?! Honestly, the writing here just got so bad.

This would be the first episode I didn't really likem too many instances where Lloyd could've used his support magic against the demons but decided to just stand there.

Lol "Lilith" at least she trained Yui a bit tho!

Just a relaxing episode this time around with a bit of training. At least they don't suddenly appear with new abilities. They clearly show that everyone is always working on bettering themselves when they have spare time.

The way the last golem was killed 😂😂😂

I wonder what other types of spells Lloyd is hiding. I mean i wouldn't have thought that invisibility would be something he'd do and there he goes catching me off guard with it 😅 either way, I'm enjoying it so far.

skylercross★★★★★VerifiedEP 51d

This episode was filled with running lol..

skylercross★★★★★VerifiedEP 41d

They're all so nice, especially Daggas 😭

skylercross★★★★★VerifiedEP 31d

Lloyd definitely is better off in this new party compared to the old one

skylercross★★★★★VerifiedEP 21d

I'm glad Sylvie was healed and it seems like our Mc will actually be appreciated in this new party 🥳

skylercross★★★★★EP 11d

New series for me. Kind of, I remember watching the first 5 episodes but couldn't remember what they were about, this time I'm binge watching the whole thing. So far I know I hate the hero party lol
