Kadokawa opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Quantum's Yuusha, Yamemasu: Tsugi no Shokuba wa Maoujou (I'm Quitting Heroing: My Next Gig is at the Demon Queen's Castle) light novel on Wednesday, revealing the main staff, cast, a teaser visual (pictured), and first promo. The anime series is scheduled for an April 2022 airing.

After saving the world, the strongest hero Leo became someone who is not wanted in the peaceful human world. He was too strong. Exiled, he seeks a job at the Demon King's Army, which he had defeated and needs to be rebuilt.

The Army had many problems: too much work, financial troubles, etc. Leo starts to make things better using his power. Leo encounters Echidna again, and asks her why she invaded the human world. There was an unexpected story...! (Source: Kadokawa)

Now i took a second look can we even call this an isekai? permise gave me vibe this a generic traditional fantasy setting in medieval world rather than isekai which never gonna die lmao just never (its the ultimate most popular fantasy setting) even if isekai did

That being said this thing looks cheap copy of this

> Hero meets Demon Girl thing specially


Seriously starting to think Light novels run out of idea totally like in any kind of genre Action Slow Life Otome Revenge or even normal Rom Com there is legit lack of creativity i mean sure everyone takes inspiration from one and another all the time and put their own twist on it but nowdays more or less everything feels carbon copy which is i am not fan off

Read the manga of this for a bit a few months ago. It was surprisingly okay. At least it's not an isekai 😎
Don't mind me,

More edgy junk, then. Pass.

The worst part by far is that if you handed the concept to an actually skilled author then there's an actually decent theme or two you could wring from it, but clearly that's not going to happen here.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Another harem Isekai... Pass.


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

The plot looks interesting, but the fact that it will be an adaptation of another generic fantasy LN is somewhat disturbing.

You do not even need to hope as much as i understand peoples problem with isekai and even sometimes get annoyed by their hate it as well as myself sometimes show annoynence i know for a fact Japanese authors do not give two fs about mal rather they care about their own audience and as of isekai and medevial fantasy in general is super popular concept there and its not going anytime soon.

There will be some changes like gender bender more female mc more creature looking more revenge stories more slice of life etc etc but the core theme of having fun adventure in some medieval world anime are gonna always stay with us and so with mal rant threads about them

i read the manga, the premise is actually interesting, too bad the execution was feel like subpar version of maoyuu maou yuusha for me.

here is the more complete plot summary to decide if you want to watch itor not:
MC was artificial technology made human hero created by experimental scientist solely for protecting humanity for thousands of years. demon army is invader force from another world looking for philosopher's stone that exist in human world due demon world depleted resource. MC defeating whole demon army single handedly pushed them back to around portal gate from demon world granting humanity side victory. however humanity keep suspicious of him so they exiled him and humanity fragmented and plunge into civil war again and again after hero save their ass multiple times just like in the past way before demon army.

tired of same outcome every time, hero decide the best way to save humanity is for him become the enemy of humanity thus uniting humanity. at the same time he also helping demon army get their philosopher's stone and made them back to demon world giving them what they want. however when he reach to help demon army, turn out demon army are more dysfunctional than he actually think! thus MC hijinks to fix demon army start!

so no, it's not your generic isekai. i wouldn't say it's good, but "generic isekai" is not a correct criticism @DamonElix @AnimeFA78N @Crow_Black @DooMWhite @snowykevin . it also NOT RPG themed series either. there are no leveling or skill and shit @RayReynolds . it's more of your traditional fantasy with some twist. again as i noted, closer like maoyuu maou yuusha than say mushoku tensei or shield hero.

if you generalize that hard, then pretty much yeah. but still not RPG fantasy as you prejudiced.

The thing is, I'm not criticizing it, I just won't watch/read it cuz it's a harem work, I have philosophical and theological reasons for that.

as far as i read, there is no romance in it, let alone harem. it's solely focusing on MC fixing issue in demon army, from lack of recruitment, personality issue in upper general (from suicidal "pride and honor" general to very socially inept infiltrator), poor logistical and communication line, even disorganized administration. of course there are some usual "it's not like i need your help or anything" type of character, but the series has surprisingly low amount of any romantical subplot, let alone harem.

Oh, alrite then, maybe I will check it out, it being similar to Maoyuu is a plus.
