Synopsis

Banished from the Hero's Party (2021), Season 1 is a Japanese fantasy anime you can watch online on iFILM — thirteen episodes about the Hero's former comrade who traded his sword for an apothecary's mortar. It unfolds in quiet, borderland Zoltan, far from the war against demons.

A D-Rank adventurer called Red finally opens the shop he always wanted and settles into a slow village routine. Then Rit shows up — a princess of Loggervia and an adventurer in her own right, willing to give up her title to live with him. What follows is small-town stuff: brewing mead, a sauna contest, the long-awaited double bed. Underneath the calm, though, a secret simmers. Red is really Gideon, brother of the Hero Ruti, and the past he walked away from keeps reaching back for him until old allies track him down.

Based on the light novels, the show leans on the gap between cozy slice-of-life and fantasy intrigue — a good pick if you're tired of chosen-one bombast and curious what happens after the hero gets kicked out. Stream Banished from the Hero's Party Season 1 online on iFILM.
