Evaluation

"I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job" is a work that skillfully depicts the gap between fantasy and the real world. The main character, Raul, is unable to become a hero after the Demon King is defeated just before the Hero Exam, and ends up working at an electronics store instead. This setting itself is already humorous and has the power to draw the viewer in.

The story revolves around Raul's interactions with Fino, the daughter of the Demon King, whom he meets while working at an electronics store. Despite being the daughter of the Demon King, Fino is a comical character working as an apprentice at the electronics store, and her interactions with Raul are sure to make you laugh. In particular, the episode in which Fino is unable to control her magical powers provides viewers with laughs, but also moves them by depicting her growth.

The character settings are also appealing. Although Raul still has regrets about his past as a hero, he becomes motivated in his work when he is put in charge of training Fino. This process of growth resonates with viewers. Furthermore, Fino's honesty and hardworking nature endears her to viewers. Furthermore, the other characters are also unique, and each character adds color to the story, such as Sarah's cunning, Beiser's negative thinking, and Nova's airheadedness.

The animation is done by Athlead, and the character and fantasy designs are beautifully drawn. The magic item designs in particular help to create a fantastic atmosphere in the fantasy world. The color settings and art direction are also excellent, making this a visually enjoyable work.

The music also adds to the appeal of the series. The opening song, "Extra Revolution," is a powerful song written, composed, and arranged by ZAQ, and symbolizes the theme of the story. The ending song, "Sticking Places," is a gentle song sung by Sphere, leaving a lingering impression on viewers.
