Synopsis

For more than 30 years, Dariel has been a loyal soldier in the Demon King's army, having been raised by Granbarza, one of the Four Heavenly Generals. However, as Dariel lacks any magical potential, he is nothing but a disgrace in the eyes of Granbarza's son, Bashbarza, who fires Dariel right after assuming his father's position as a general.

Stripped of a home and a job, Dariel wanders the forests, where he stumbles upon a human girl named Malika running from a monster. After Dariel intervenes to help Malika, she invites him to stay at her village in return. There, he discovers that the reason he has zero suitability for magic as a demon is that he is, in fact, a human.

However, Dariel is no ordinary human. Possessing potential that far outweighs even heroes, Dariel may soon find himself involved in the humans and demons' seemingly never-ending conflict, facing against the race he once considered allies.

In my opinion was the best non harem non isekai good and simple with a decent story anime!

so.. this anime was the perfect combination .simple and accurate

To be more precise:
- we have a loser concept like an isekai MC but then it appears more like just a guy in his 30's who discovers he is enogh powerfull to take care of himself.

- Then we have some romance some comedy some action .

- The romance was perfect scene , a guy and a girl who likes eachother and don't hide the fellings,it was just like how adults handle the love situations

Mixed Feelings
In short: Good. Not amazing, but good.
If you want something deep, fast-paced, or groundbreaking, skip it. But if you watch it at your own pace, without overthinking, it’ll entertain you.

Simple plot, wholesome vibes, and chill pacing, perfect for when you just want to relax. There’s a bit of fan service, but nothing crazy. The MC is strong, but not a “cold-blooded genius” or a “saintly hero”. He’s just an adult enjoying life with a few overpowered perks. It’s more about his daily life and bonds with friends and family than epic battles or complex drama.

The art is surprisingly good, and some fight scenes are fun ...

This is another same old trash story, the kind you keep finding in low quality anime again and again. Nothing new Nothing risky Same boring formula.
A main character gets kicked out of his party because he is weak, not worthy, useless blah blah. Then suddenly life gives him free upgrades. New power. New luck. New girls.
If it’s fantasy, it becomes a harem.
If it’s romance, he still magically gets a girl.
This exact storyline exists in hundreds of anime, and this show adds nothing new to it.

Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army is just another copy in this tired pile.
Guy ...
