Not surprisingly, most animation budget went to ending theme instead of the main story. The ending theme is quite clever. Each girl is bound by strings, implying they are like puppets by unknown circumstances. It has little relevance to the main story, but it is still a clever display. The anime adaption from the original source seems quite terrible. It is not a spoiler, since the source already explained the meaning of the title in the beginning. However, the anime skipped the explanation that established story's main setting, and meaning behind the title. First, the banished former hero refers to the hero who saved the world in isekai, but he was feared and hunted by the very people he had saved. He got tired of his life, and he was awarded any wish by goddess, as reward for saving the world. He knows himself as the person of reincarnation since his rebirth. He is born as the first son of the duke's family. He is expelled by the duke's land for not showing any potential. His RPG statistics is always level 1. His level never goes up, which means he doesn't have blessing from goddess. Without the favor of goddess, it damages his social status. Regardless, he doesn't care about his situation since it doesn't get in his way of seeking peaceful life. He still retains his power from previous reincarnation, and he chooses to stay insignificant under the public eyes. On his journey, he meets girls, including his ex-finance. Since the background is skipped by anime, I suspect the production team made anime in rush. As the typical isekai plot, those snobbish enemies who look down on the heroes will feel regret deeply.
