Every season some anime is released with such a low budget that it goes viral because fans are quick to make fun of it with each new episode, and Spring-2024 (April-June) has not been the exception. The anime adaptation of the light novels “The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases” has taken the comment forums in Japan by surprise, since the Drawing and animation quality has been totally pathetic.
The saddest thing is that it is a production of Studio Deen in collaboration with the studios Marvy Jacka cursed duo that previously led to the “Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins)” to media and financial failure. One can only wonder how Marvy Jacka third-rate study that has proven to be a failure on more than one occasion, It is still considered an option for production committees.

However, his drama-free existence is soon interrupted by a desperate encounter with his ex-fiancée.
