Mikata ga Yowasugite Hojo Mahou ni Tesshiteita Kyuutei Mahoushi, Tsuihou sarete Saikyou wo Mezasu

"This party doesn't need an incompetent magician who can only use supportive magic. You're fired, Alec Ygret."

Suddenly, Alec, a court magician who had joined the crown prince's party to help him conquer dungeons—was banished from the party. And not just the party, but the crown prince's harassment has banished him from the royal palace as well, and a friend from the "magic academy" approached Alec, who was at his wit's end.

"Hey, Alec. Do you want to try to conquer the dungeon with us again?"

And so, together with the friends he used to party with, Alec begins his second journey in life. This is the adventure story of a former court magician who had been abandoned.

Four years ago, the "Lasting Period," a party of four that had been called "legendary," has gradually spread its name around the world.

While the lore and story certainly did pick up towards the end of this series there is nothing that really sets it apart from other adventure fantasy anime. Yes the MC has cool abilities and is a prodigy with magic BUT we have seen that before in this generic fantasy setting. That said I do like the MCs abilities and the story/lore developed over the series as a whole. I think if we got another season, we'd get to dive into a lot more of the elements that I liked from this season. Granted with how most OP MC series go that is usually never ... the case as they just continue to devolve over time. That said the power system in this series is REALLY cool and I would love to see more abilities from the series expanded upon in the future if it does get a continuation.

So while YES this is just another generic adventure fantasy if you are looking for a fun watch with cool fights and a bit of really interesting world building then you should definitely check out The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest!

Mixed Feelings

Banished Court Magician, henceforth BCM, is a fairly standard betrayed MC power fantasy. The story follows Alec and his party of three other prodigies; after Alec is betrayed and fired by the prince of a foreign kingdom, he rejoins his party, and the quartet go on various adventures together primarily in dungeons.

Alec is a fairly generic MC who goes through all the same steps that most others in this subgenre go through. He lacks self-esteem despite being absurdly strong and is kind of a wet blanket who lacks strong motivations for the first half of the season. The lore and story definitely pick up in ... the latter half, and the characters other than Alec are all pretty enjoyable, but not much about the series really helps it stand out from the crowd.

BCM has a pretty standard magic system, and while its fights do include some decent strategies, the choreography involved isn't anything to write home about. Similarly, the series consistently looks good, but I can't think of any real stand-out moments of animation. Its strongest point is definitely the emotional moments near the end.

Overall, BCM is not a bad show by any means, but it doesn't particularly excel at much either. It's a pretty standard but enjoyable experience. I'll probably watch season 2 if/when it comes out, but I don't feel compelled to pick up the light novel.
Verdict: 7/10

This went in a different direction than advertised.

From the title my first thought was this is the now generic MC got kicked out of a party only to realize he was the one carrying them all along and those bullies in middle school just didn't appreciate how super awesome special he was.

So... it did start like that. Only instead of a middle schooler it's more a salaryman working in a black company where he has to bear the weight of every little thing and none of the benefits. He then moves on to a normal company where his coworkers are far more supportive ... and the psychological tactics used to break you down and bully you in a negative work environment aren't used (but he's still healing so is low-key expecting them.)

Just imagine that disguised under a paper thin fantasy layer and you have this show.

Had this show been honest and went with the base premise it would have done far better. The fact is the fantasy elements are used to disguise it and as such the show has no foundations. No rules, limitations or world building. Just a "oh by the way" exposition vomit every now and then when the plot needs something... usually applies for the next episode or two only and forgotten afterwards.

Because this is an allegory for a very specific situation with a lot of tropes from the genre just hastily thrown together in order to tell said story. Even the 2nd villain made no sense other than a plot device to achieve the the moral of the tale "Supportive coworkers = good"... and friendship is magic???


Plot is lame, world building none existent.

Characters are very "oh by the way" so nothing solid, they are there to support MC-kun and that's it.

MC-kun is bland, lacks any motivation, drive or personality. AKA pretty boring. The story is always about something happening to him instead of because of him. Very passive.

Art and animation passable though they did cheap out on the later half of the show.

Overall:

It focused too much on the allegory part and forgot it was a fantasy show. That to impress someone with your MC being super special you need to show the baseline for comparison first.
At first i didn't think it was a bad show but the lack of proper world building or story kept getting worse and worse adding to the show's problems. Also I'm removing a star for the name of the group, Lasting Period. It just made me think of never ending stomach cramps. What a stupid name!
