Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2: This Title is Already Way Too Fucking Long
A constant theme of this year has been ‘Sophomore Slump’. The idea that most second outings of anime do not have the same endearing charm their first seasons do. Not all anime suffer from this, but I’ve noticed that a lot of newer shows, without the large fanbases or strong light novels often struggle to keep that momentum going. I keep bringing this up phrase this year because I’ve noticed more than this year. And here we are again, will we see another slump, or will this one be triumph? Well after the cut let’s take a dive into the second season of *deep breath* Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside
