Impressions:
Oh, boy. Another banished from the party story. This'll be fun for sure. I did appreciate that Yuke was assertive enough to ditch his garbo party of raging a-holes who don't understand how support classes work rather than getting the boot, and the girls were cute enough for me to give them a chance. (They're decent as characters, but I was amused by one commenter who said the original trio are just the Temu version of Rudeus' harem.) The idea of a mentor joining up with his apprentices once they go pro is neat enough. Now, the fact that it's just to set up a harem may or may not go over with you. Some people find the use of livestreaming dungeon raids to be rather cringe, and while I'm not a huge fan of the idea myself, it does get integrated into the story fairly well. It would've helped if Thunder Pike wasn't so comically trash, but the character work is by no means subtle. It might sound like I've got more negative things to say than positive, but this was decent enough for me to rate it as being worth a watch, but I'd probably say you should give it the 3-Episode Rule and it doesn't click with you, you might do just as well to pass on it.
