"Kicked Out Of The Hero's Party" The Next Anime Craze.

It's crazy how many of these generic series keep popping up. I think I've seen at least one or two per season for the last couple years. They all follow the exact same formula too. MC is determined to be too weak for the hero's party. MC is kicked out. MC finds new success in a new party. Hero's party discovers the only reason they were ever good is because of the MC. And usually the MC uses his experience and age to have impressionable younger girls fawning over him.

I'm ready for the new craze because this one is even worse than the isekai slop, at least we got variety with those.

It really feels like one person pitches the same anime to four companies and they all give it a shot at the same time.

And then if they have the tiniest amount of success they repeat the exact same formula for the next five years until a new fad catches on.

Next up: **I was kicked out of my party and got Isekai'd into a modern romcom where I'm the villainess, but I still have my magic!?**

I've been kicked out the heroes party, but I'm the greatest they are seriously just so fucking stupid, except that hot chick priestess she loves me and had a great rack so she left them too and joined my new harem where everyone loves me, but I'm kind of a dense pussy and get flustered and act like I'm 12 years old around women, and now I'm an S+ ranked adventurer!

Still waiting on this one tbh it's peak

It really is always the healer who has it bad for the scorned MC.

Understand the target audience. Disgruntled Japanese salary men reading the manga/LNs on the train to and from work.

This fantasy is for them, getting fired and starting a new life where they are appreciated and fawned over. 😁

What could be worse?

Beware the next trend: my childhood friend bullies me and I got sick of it.

TheMatterDoor2026-02-02 20:52

I think we've already had quite a few romcom series with a female bully who is actually in love with the guy they're bullying.

Fools_Requiem2026-02-02 20:54

I prefer "my childhood friend bullies me and I like it"

That will be in like 3-5 years since I remember that being the novel trend a few years back.

Me watching generic slops getting animated while waiting for the Beast King & Medicinal Herb and The Mercenary & the Witch to be animated and get the attention they deserve.

I miss the days when characters try to find their way back home after being isekai'd.

I wonder if they'll adapt that manga where the war of heroes and the demon king is a popular TV show, and the MC gets kicked out of the hero's party because his magic isn't impressive enough. Then the MC joins the demon team, improves their efficiency, raises their ratings, falls in love with an adult vampire, and the leader of the hero team remains his best friend?

TheMatterDoor2026-02-02 20:54

That one actually sounds vaguely interesting if only because the MC completely switching sides.

noctaviann2026-02-02 20:52

I don't think it's the „new” craze. Like you've said it's been going on *for years* now alongside the isekai explosion.

Ok-Anxiety81712026-02-02 20:59

Yes, it seems like "hero of shield" is literally about that.

CommentStrict89642026-02-02 20:53

Yeah the isekai slop is frustrating. Although I am not sure all isekai are the same.

You are referring to a revenge arc kind of plot, which I think is... Fine? The more frustrating kind of isekai is the "Japanese -saviour" kind of isekai where a Japanese person got dropped into (fantasy) medieval Europe, where the Japanese person transformed the medieval European society using their "Japanese" scientific knowledge, culture, and sometimes industrial power. Some examples include the camping/cooking anime, the medicine anime, the yuri something revolution anime, etc.

TheMatterDoor2026-02-02 20:56

I can at least buy the cooking anime revolutionizing a medieval society because I love Japanese food and medieval European food was ass.

noctaviann2026-02-02 20:59

If you're refering to **The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady**, a.k.a. MagiRevo / TenTen, it didn't have the trope of transforming „the medieval European society using their "Japanese" scientific knowledge, culture, and sometimes industrial power”.

It's like when Hollywood went crazy over asteroids or climate change ending the world.

Scam-Artist-USA2026-02-02 21:01

It’s a cycle of genres same as how we had isekais now we are getting all the kicked out of the party’s good and bad.
