There was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her

This is a series I wanted to like, and there are things I did like, but the issue is, there are also things I disliked, and so we are here So firstly, the initial plot episode and everything about the first episode I liked, the overpowered low ranked demon falls for the healer and confesses his feelings, gets rejected, but goes to live in the human world as an adventurer to work hard so he can confess to her again. It's a simple premise but there is much that can be done with it and it also allows it to stand out. It was cute, and I didlike the romance elements, I liked the characters, there were things I did like, BUT... For me the series started to then slowly fall flat, it wasn't something I noticed at first but after a while I began to realise that it had actually become rather dull and wasn't really going anywhere. So much of the series was spending time on supporting characters and their relationships, their stories, it progressed their characters and not the main characters. This is supposed to be a romance focused on our main two characters and yet we don't spend anywhere near enough time with the both of them developing their relationship. So it feels like nothing happens for pretty much most of the thing, and then we get to the last few episodes and it realises that something should happen. Now here's the thing, I like a series that develops its characters and spends time fleshing out those characters, so in theory I should be all for the character development that the supporting characters and their relationships get. But not when it comes at the cost of the main story and at the cost of developing the relationship between the main characters. With this it's a case of which supporting character are we spending our time with this episode, what is going to be the distraction or supporting character issue that Youki resolves, and maybe we'll spend 5 minutes with Cecilia as our reward. It also spends far more time than it should on pointless adventures, and I get it, Youki is an adventurer living the adventurer life, but all it does here is make it feel directionless and in all honesty, boring, because you are wasting time on some side adventure that doesn't matter. It takes away from the focus and ends us feeling aimless as a result, you can't be everything, and a 13 episode season doesn't have enough runtime to try and be everything. You can't do the standard isekai adventurer anime route, and then also merge in a romance anime and not expect it to suffer because you will lose things from both, leaving you with a hybrid that is not quite there. There is a reason why the romance elements in so many fantasy adventure series feel so shallow, because they don't have the time to develop them because doing so would take away from the main story and what makes it a fantasy adventure. Likewise there is very little adventure in romance series, and what adventure there is usually is used to create a 'suspension bridge effect' to bring the main characters closer. The art style I don't care about, it felt like a choice, it didn't affect my enjoyment of the series negatively, it's not great looking but I wouldn't mark it down for it. In terms of an isekai fantasy romance Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu Season 1 does it so much better, same with Madougushi Dahliya wa Utsumukanai. When you consider the standard, and compare this to the competition, it just feels lacking. Which is a shame because it had a great premise, it had already done enough to stand out amongst the crowd, but it then failed horribly in its execution, and is just lacklustre. It's average at best, mediocre at worst

Don't let yourself get ragebaited the real title is" I confessed to a girl in hero party and watched my friends developing their love relationship " . It went to downhill faster than a bullet train literally garbage writing even a generic romance is much better . The biggest flaw is animation , character designs got horrible ep after ep at some points characters were looking like chubby MacDonald addict . What's the point of having a good title when you don't gonna work on that line except mc everyone got chick and lived happily. Our mc turned out to be a betamale who watched from sidelines after helping them to fix relationship issues . When finally he got chance he hugged his girl instead of kissing literally ruined a positive moment. The pacifism which anime tried to show is bad too in every possible way . Nothing more to say , not recommended definitely. Save your time .
