Thoughts on "I Left My A-Rank Party..." so Far
Added 2025-05-03 17:07:37 +0000 UTCThe anime is set for 24 episodes and even has english dub, so far watched 13 episodes and decided to give some thoughts:
Pros:
-worldbuilding
-romance development
-art style and animation
Details on Mixed Thoughts:
-There are some generic tropes from power fantasy anime(jerk characters end up getting comeuppance with no redemption) but the anime doesn't rely that much on them compared to others. Like for example the main character already being acquainted with the girls makes them falling for him make more sense.
-There is a lot of exposition but at the same time its not boring as there is a lot of worldbuilding. Like the stuff with streams for dungeon adventuring and the lore about dungeons being parallel worlds are interesting and unique.
-The animation and art style are also nice, at least compared to recent generic anime
-As for the harem stuff, while it is implied they are going down the harem route,
Rain, the blue hair girl, appears to on the road for the "head wife" position which is portrayed nicely as shes usually the one who takes first action when realizing the main character, Yuke, is stressed out and even though Yuke get flustered like other protagonists there are times when you do seem him acknowledging his feelings for Rain.
-The narrative is also more in sync as while other power fantasy anime feel like 90% filler as episodes are just to introduce new harem girls in those anime, previous stuff does get mentioned and referenced to better connect story arcs.
Ultimately "I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!" stands out just a bit with certain aspects
