Story summary from MAL: "Far away from the reaches of demons and war, near the borderland of Zoltan, D-Rank adventurer Red lives a normal existence. Through perseverance and hard work, his dream of starting his own apothecary and peaceful life in the countryside finally came true. Abruptly, Red gets a live-in partner and assistant named Rit—the princess of Duchy Loggervia and an adventurer herself—who gives everything up to join him. “Although honest, kind, and loved by all, Red has a secret shared only with Rit: his real name is Gideon, brother of Ruti Ragnason, the “Hero” and a former member of her party. Ares Drowa, the “Sage,” kicked Red out of their party after their war against the Demon Lord after deciding he was weak and insignificant. Now, even though Red has left the Hero’s party behind by assuming a new life together with Rit, his past has yet to let go of him.” The series full Japanese title is another one of those super long ones: “Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita”, roughly translating to “Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside” in the English LN translation from Yen Press. ---- Episode 3 arrives ... still progress in future eps has been made, but some folks were taken down for a bit through RL and illnesses ... will keep sticking to it! ^^ At the moment nothing definitively planned for next season, tho work is being made on batches for BD release and the like (including one new BD batch that will be out of the blue). ---- Staff Encode: Pikminiman TLC: Shadeseeker Timing: Asakura TS: Olivo28 Editing: 9volt K-timing/KFX: Colgatto QC: Goethite Note that we try to create the releases optimized for mpv - other players may give odd playback results.
