This must be the type of anime you can call: Cliches

The begin was quite a good start, trainee heroes, destined to fight the demon lord and POOF, the demon lord is dead

Now the hero works other job to support his own life but doesn't feels right because that's not what he wants, but when his friends ask, he just make that uncomfortable face like of he talks it out, he's gonna die

Etc, etc, the story now develops to how he has to take care of the demon lord's daughter and deal with her and work his job as the same time because that girl is a pain in the ass

And because she's the demon lord's daughter so she must have a great power that the other bad guys want to exploit and in the end, the hero will come and save her and bring her home and they live happily ever after

For the character:
Our main hero, who somehow have emotional issue because he can't become a hero who defeats the demon lord

The main girl, aka the demon lord's daughter, a kinda dumb girl who always make a fuss about everything, because every ecchi harem anime needs a dumb girl

The girl who is the mc's colleague, very kind and cute and has big boobs, because every ecchi harem anime needs a kind girl with big boobs

The manager, a very sly and witty character who somehow always know how to solves everything in her way, has big boobs, because every ecchi harem anime needs a sly girl with big boobs

The vice manager, who always complain about the mc, like the manager very much

The straight face girl who seems to doesn't give a shit about anything but actually is a very good person, we don't see this type of character much in ecchi harem anime

The former classmate who is a tsundere, always make a fuss about what the mc is doing, nice body, because every ecchi harem anime needs a tsundere

My Review of "I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job."!

---

As one of my first ever reviews, this is quite something.....

____Story____

The story follows a character by the name of Raul Chaser. His dreams of being a hero ended up falling short due to certain problems with hiring that led him to reluctantly work as a clerk in a magic electronics store. After the daughter of the demon lord got hired to work at the store, things have gotten harder for Raul than he could ever think of.

____Visuals____

The visuals aren't anything home to write about. However, they aren't necessarily bad. Each character is drawn in a somewhat attractive way, which is how it should be since this is an ecchi anime.

____Characters____

The cast is full of many silly characters, ranging from the daughter of the demon lord who acts like a complete child to the MC's boss who acts cute in almost every scene they're in. There aren't many serious characters in the anime, showing how the anime attempts to capture a comfy vibe with its people.

____The Good____

I really enjoy the concept of a failed hero who works a "regular" day-to-day job. To me, it feels a bit relatable to how we may fail achieving our dreams and goals and having to settle with what we can have in the moment. I also found the idea of regular electronics being powered by magic interesting. In most of the animes I've watched including electronics, they're usually either some creative new product or electricity is discovered and implemented into their society. However, this anime chooses to create a somewhat similar environment by including earthly electronics. I really enjoy the characters and their sort of... gimmick. Although there are a few problems (which I will discuss in the next section), their personalities do stand out where you can differentiate them from each other and find some sort of entertainment no matter who's the focus of the story. I must say that I did find the last two episodes to be greatly enjoyable compared to the other episodes, which felt a bit like a reward for watching the previous ten episodes.

____The Bad____

There are a few issues I find with how they executed this anime and story in general. One of the problems that I find is that plenty of the stories feel like filler to the few amounts of important information and character development. In most of the stories, it's just the company or the MC going on some short adventure with the Demon Lord's daughter and ending up falling into trouble in some sort of way. These end up being resolved quickly through different methods, but each situation features elements so indistinguishable that I feel numb to almost each story. Another problem is with how the characters are presented. Sure, I mentioned that they have personalities that stand off, but the anime chooses to really exaggerate these personalities to a point where in the later episodes, most of them are pretty annoying.

____The Downright Ugly____

Let's get the cat out of the bag by stating the obvious: fanservice. There's just way too much fanservice thrown into each story that it's hard to really take interest into any of them. Sure, this is part of the ecchi genre, but there are even ecchi animes that handle fanservice perfectly and find a balance between creating interesting stories and filling the quota for ecchi. With each shot of a girl presented in an explicit way, the more I felt awkward in watching the story play out. Many of these fanservice scenes aren't even necessary as they feel thrown in just to keep the viewer interested. In reality, this made me less interested in the story or whatever was going on.

____Is It Worth The Watch?____

I would say absolutely not. Even if you're that dedicated to ignore (or enjoy. I'm not judging.) abundances of fanservice, the story really isn't written well without it. The potential was clearly there, but the anime really focused in on the fanservice portion of the story than the actual progressions of the story. The fanservice even affected the quality of the characters, ruining whatever charm they started with in the first episode. I do enjoy the period where they do try to have fanservice take a step back, but the damage had already been done and I just couldn't get very invested in the story.

Overall, "I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job." is something that initially sounded like a potentially good wholesome slice-of-life anime and ended up actually being an excuse for fanservice galore. All of the interest that I started with ended up being drained with the abundance of unneeded shots of fanservice. What a shame.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not! If you already have watched it, I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. ^^
