Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer!

Lloyd was kicked out of the hero's party and left with nowhere to go, his reputation in tatters and his skills reduced to memories. While wandering, he runs into an S-rank adventurer group that urgently needs a white mage, and they hire him more out of necessity than trust. The show follows Lloyd as he joins this elite team, handles dangerous contracts, and quietly proves how valuable a steady, skilled healer can be. Along the way other parties crumble and alliances shift, and Lloyd's quiet competence starts turning heads. The series keeps personal setbacks and battlefield scenes central, focusing on how a single change in circumstance can reshape a character's role and standing without spoiling where that arc ends.

Created and written by Wasabi Mukuno, Akihiko Inari, and Sora Suigetsu, the anime premiered in 2025 and features voice talent like Gakuto Kajiwara, Rina Hidaka, Haruka Shiraishi, Daisuke Hirose, and Yuuichirou Umehara.

Major industry awards haven't been reported for the series as of now, so it hasn't made a big splash in season-end prize lists yet.

Early on the show has inspired a modest online fanbase, with fan art and episode discussion threads focused on party dynamics, class roles, and the show's lighter moments. Viewers who've picked it up tend to comment on its character interactions and how it plays with familiar RPG ideas.

Critical and audience reaction is mixed to favorable, reflected in a modest average rating around 6.95 from early votes. Reviewers point to steady pacing, clear action choreography, and a theme about reputation versus real skill. The show asks what makes someone a hero, and who gets to wear that label, while keeping scenes approachable and often quietly funny.
