Party kara Tsuihou sareta Sono Chiyushi, Jitsu wa Saikyou ni Tsuki

Throughout his youth, unskilled healer Laust was taken advantage of by unscrupulous adventurers. Despite intensive efforts to improve himself, Laust is swindled by the members of Blades of Lightning—the first party that he joins after completing his training—and is eventually banished by its leader Margulus.

As the subject of public ridicule, Laust is not hopeful about his future prospects. However, novice adventurer Narsena unexpectedly offers to form a party with him, and he happily accepts. The duo quickly gain fame by conquering uncharted parts of the labyrinth. While there seems to be a reason behind Narsena's hasty proposal, Laust is oblivious to what it could be.

Meanwhile, Margulus fails for the second time to slay a poisonous hydra, even after enlisting the help of elite healer Lyra for the quest. Laust soon finds himself being asked to rejoin Blades of Lightning, but it is not as easy as he imagined to move on from his former comrades-in-arms despite his new path and current companion.

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

Currently there are like 6 people not recommending this show and 0 people recommending it. So, I have bestowed myself the duty of recommending it.

Quick review: Standard cartoon. Sometimes boring. Sometimes dumb. But it has some unique charm, like in the setting design and the 2-dimensional developments between the characters. I like blue haired girl, she is a cute martial artist lady, and the MC is alright. If you are alright with low expectations, enjoy a fantasy show that could've been made in the 2000s.


As far as I can tell, 'Objectively,' this show doesn't have good animation nor is it amazing in ... any way. . However, there are a few STRONG qualities that the show has, in my opinion.

1. It's a different kind of generic.
To give you an idea, this could've easily been an isekai where the isekai part wouldn't have mattered. It's thaaat type of show. A fantasy with some slice of life, some adventure, and some action. The world/fighting mechanics are a bit game-like.
And although the show uses many common conventions, tropes, etc. it manages to build itself into a 'unique form of generic.'

EXAMPLE: The design of the town, the main location, is pleasant to look at. It's by no means ground breaking, but it has a CHARM.
Most buildings have white plastered walls and blue rooftops. Odd white pillars surround the town and nobody knows what they are. The Adventures Guild building looks like it's based on a historical church. And the inn that the protagonist and the heroine stay at isn't like any other inn I've seen in anime. Moreover, it's a place I would like to sleep/eat at in real life. It has a small yet neat outdoor area that's beautiful at night. I like the inn in particular because it regularly shows up in the show, and the more I see it, the more I get attached to it.


2. Solid Cartoon.
It isn't a wacky cartoon, nor is it a pseudo-serious show. It's simply a fantasy show that you could've watched in the 2000s, 2010s, or now in the 2020s. The characters are more or less 2 dimensional, so that means you won't find anything inspirational or new from this show (probably). But these characters fit their roles well and have just enough personality, emotional reactions, and facial designs that help make them memorable and maybe charming.
But like in many generic fantasy shows, be WARNED that there are some stupid moments, dumb characters, etc. This show has that. But it isn't dumb enough that makes me want to drop it, and sometimes, the show even acknowledges/justifies the dumbness of certain characters or their actions.

I like the sound design. It isn't amazing or memorable, but it serves the 'Adventurer Town' setting well. And I feel like I am playing or inside an RPG while watching this show. This includes even the little ambient sounds like crickets at night or people at an inn drinking. Perhaps this show even boosted the ambient sound a little more than other shows, and I think it was the right decision.

IN CONCLUSION:
This is all to say that watching the same characters interact regularly with one another, in the same persistent setting, has a certain charm to it. It helps make the entire experience 'ALIVE.' In the sense that, the town is 'lived in.' And although the plot feels a bit directionless sometimes, I understand what each character generally wants in their life.

Plus I really like the blue haired girl and her relationship with the MC. The MC is indeed kind of generic, but a tolerable and slightly unique form of generic (like the town itself), which makes me like him. He has some personality (admittedly not a lot), and the way he 'hides his emotions/thoughts' is a little intriguing despite also seemingly boring.
(Look, I just appreciate that his hair is a little wacky compared to his clones in hundreds of other shows and he has a quirky side kick with him)

So, if you watch this show with low expectations, the overall experience will probably be 'alright' for you. Which is sometimes good enough when you're feeling cozy, not in a hurry, and want an easy/lazy watching experience. 6/10 (But personally, 7/10)

Mixed Feelings

After watching all 12 episodes, I can safely say this fantasy anime is another generic bland serving in the ever growing menu of "The MC is the strongest and no one knows about it, so gets booted from his party".

Although definitely not the worst of this type of show and definitely not the worst fantasy anime I've watched (which gives it some points), it saddles the line of mediocrity, with the only standouts being the varied cast and the MC's "secret", while the clearly low-budget animation and lack of any real depth bring it back down.

The story follows "Incompetent Raust", an adventurer who can ... only use basic healing magic, who happens to be in the usual trope of "super famous adventurer group that turns out to be a bunch of a-holes". Most people treat him like crap... until they don't, as the "super famous adventurer group"... yup, you guessed it - turns out to be a bunch of a-holes. The MC then gets a new party of friends and suddenly he's no longer a healer and more a general jack-of-all-trades role.
Why was he parading around as a healer in the first place? I have absolutely no idea, as I do not remember it being explained ever in the 12 episode run-time. I could almost consider it a McGuffin to allow the setup of a-hole adventurer squad and "intrigue" (if it can be called that) to take place.
Anyway, typical fantasy anime shenanigans happen and the MC is revealed to have a "secret power", but we never learn anything about it, other than "it's a great power".

And there, without even delving into actual spoilers, I have summarised the plot, going to show just how generic this anime is. There is some minor "intrigue" (again, loosely used) in regards to the MC's skill-set and "secret power", but the rest of the plot is mostly fluff and extremely basic world-building, with some random romance elements that go nowhere and do nothing for the story, thrown in for good measure.

As someone who can usually find entertaining and interesting qualities in even the most slated and negatively-reviewed trashy anime, for this I couldn't.
However, it is by no means unwatchable; It sits firmly in its generic mediocrity of "eh, I'll watch it because I'm bored". You definitely won't be missing anything by not watching it though.
I will also say, that based on the final ~2 episodes, there's clearly major sequel-bait going on, but I highly doubt this will perform anywhere near well enough to have an S2 greenlit, although stranger things have happened.

5/10 and mixed feelings from me. Average, generic fantasy anime.

Not Recommended

"The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest" starts off promising but quickly derails, becoming a trainwreck by the final episodes. While the character designs are average yet charming and the art style passable, poor pacing and storytelling make the show feel rushed and unsatisfying.

Laust, despite being labeled the strongest, feels like an afterthought. He barely contributes meaningfully to the story, only acting when Narusena is in danger. His lack of development and relevance makes his role feel forced.

The show tries to cram in every anime cliché, often rushing through the plot without coherence. Animation quality dips drastically in the ... second half, while new characters are introduced with no setup, leaving viewers confused as everyone else seems to know them.

Ultimately, this series is a masterclass in how not to adapt a story. Poor pacing, shallow character integration, and lackluster animation destroy its potential, making it a frustrating watch.
