I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths!

What is it with anime writers? Have they never been in a relationship, so think Harem's are the ultimate relationship?

This is the story of another overpower protagonist who is pretty much an idiot. Everyone, but him, knows he is exceptionally powerful. It's a lazy trope.

His interactions with others is juvenile, and annoying. Especially around the women he is gathering to himself.

He, and his harem, go investigating dungeons that seem to be other worlds. This would be a fascinating concept, and an interesting story, but it's really only background information.

However, the reveal in episode 15 would have made for several excellent episodes, but is dismissed, especially as OP was directly responsible, and was responsible for what happened as a consequence. This is ignored.

The quality of animation is reasonably good, except when it isn't.

There is some fan service, with the usual large breasted women, but it's kept to a minimum.

The original story is quite good for yet another "leaving my party" story that is quite the trope nowadays. Here, an amazing "Red Mage" makes a Harem of talented adventurers (that, obviously, all fall in love with him), and together they climb the Ranks until involved in a world-saving scenario. Dungeon diving, rivals, black magic and more.

As an adaptation, it is somewhat disappointing in the visual department. The animation itself is okay.. but then you see still images from the actual episodes themselves being used in the Opening! So, you start wondering about the budget.. And while the style of this anime is good, it doesn't capture the gorgeous look of the source material (specially with the female leads). But it flows well and the (JP) voice casting is good.

EDIT: Sadly, as more episodes release, it is quite evident that a LOT of plot points were skipped and some gore-y and "inappropriate" elements completely removed (understandably)! Ones that gave this series a darker tone, but a distinctive personality. I'm not sure how I would feel as the creator, but it even rewrites some of the developments.. This isn't a proper adaptation, but a summary in parts, and takes the liberties to rewrite others.

Personally, I would recommend the Manga instead (if you prefer a more detailed and adult story). But Anime is always a much more digestible medium, and does away with what some would consider unnecessary.

The most mid-tier anime ever.

Story is mid.

The world building is mid.

The character is mid.

Everything about the anime is mid.

Not bad. Not great.

One of those anime where you're never all that heavily invested in the stakes, but glad they gave this thing multiple seasons so you can have it on while eating lunch.

The typical protagonist is OP but is underrestimated by his peers and constantly doubts himself. Harem of simps that follow and submit to him for sake of plot but he's as dense as an 8 year old when it comes to romance. The whole thing about how adventurers are also streamers is its somewhat unique angle.

Expect an anime that just lets you kill time while being mildly enjoyable.

After Bingeing loads of Isekai, Shonen, and Seinen types of anime, I found that "I left my A-Rank Party" to have a great story line and visual fidelity that had me wanting to continue to the next episode. It set in a fantasy world, like most of the dungeon themed shows, but offers a storyline to keep you entertained. "I Left My A-Rank..." This Adventure/Fantasy shows the Main Character needing to make a decision on his next chapter in life. This shows Yuki mentoring past students that helps build a good background on the character to get you interested on how he maneuvers on how he will lead his group. Overall, I think this is a good Adventure/Fan show, that is worth the time to watch.

So this is one of those "X left my party, so Y happened" shows. That said, I am really enjoying this one thus far.

In short, our protagonist is a Red Mage (think buff/debuff magic) who resigns from his party as he's not getting the respect he's due. He joins up shortly with some students of his and they go on adventures. Stuff happens, etc.

That said, this has a LOT going for it. First of all, the characters are actually interesting and the voice acting is, for the most part, very well done (both in Anime and english dub). The animation is gorgeous and vibrant. The story itself is entertaining enough and easy to follow. The comedy portions hit at they need to.

There's a few things that make this really stand out. First, the protagonist is NOT a weak-willed ninny. A common trope for these shows is that the protagonist tends to demure in the face of his old party or in general. That's not so for our boy Yuke. Second, there are a few twists in this story that are just, well, delicious.

That said, the show isn't without issues. There's a few issues with the storyline in terms of plotholes (thus far) and it's not really too deep. That said, this show doesn't really waste time things that bring notice to them in any capacity.

Overall, this is one I recommend for one reason: Style, style, style.
