My Review of The Brilliant Healers New Life in the Shadows 320https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/M/MV5BYmYwNmFmMmMtOTIxYi00ODQzLWJiZTMtM2MxYzA4ZjhjMzdjXkEyXkFqcGc.V1.jpg These healer anime recently have just been hitting different for me. Story Zenos an unknowingly powerful healer was kicked out of the guild he was in for not contributing to the team. After being gifted a gold coin Zenos opens up an underground clinic in the slums to offer his services to outcasts. Although he tries his hardest to stay unknown his unbelievable medical feats begin to gain popularity not just in the slums but even in the royal palace which gets him into more trouble than he couldve expected. 320https://animetvjp.net/wpcontent/uploads/2025/06/GsaHEX7boAA5OTne1748901239479696x392.jpeg Characters Zenos is a fair and reserved overpowered healer. Although unaware of how rare his abilities are Zenos continues to heal people who come to him for a fair price. In the past Zenos saved a little elf girl named Lily. She assists Zenos when she can with her mostly friendly attitude as an assistant to her clinic. In the clinic is a friendly and sometimes silly wraith named Carmilla who awaits for Zenos to feed her souls if he ever fails/botches a patients recovery. 320https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wpcontent/uploads/2025/04/zenoscharging.jpg The Good I like the story. It takes the MC through different scenarios not just in one setting but in a couple different ones with multiple situations that are all interesting some more than others. I also enjoyed the personalities of the characters. Although the three underground leaders were pretty identical by behaviors they were still fun people to watch and Carmilla was also a silly and chaoscausing wraith. Zenos ideals of equal treatment while also not forgetting payments is also a fun feature of his that I found funny at times too. 320https://animotaku.fr/wpcontent/uploads/2024/11/animethebrillanthealersnewlifeintheshadowsdatesortie.jpg The Bad Episode 1 was a really bad episode. It gave little to no explanations and prioritized side characters over the actual MC of the story. However episode 2 was able to help this show recover by feeling more like the first episode than the actual first episode. I see where theyre coming from but I just dont think that his whole female harem thing going on in his underground clinic. I feel like they couldve had at least one of the three underground leaders as a male. On a more serious note I felt uncomfortable watching Lily and Zenos interact. Lily seeing Zenos as a husband while she looks like a literal child is kinda disgusting. Its fortunately not a really strong element of the anime but I hate whenever its brought up. 320https://a.storyblok.com/f/178900/920x518/ef24b7da0a/thebrillianthealersnewlifeintheshadows.jpg/m/filters:quality95formatwebp The Downright Ugly Apart from the disrespect to Zenos in his old guild aint anything downright ugly about this anime. 320https://us.oricongroup.com/up/sns/3000/3415/1200/TheBrilliantHealersNewLifeintheShadows202.jpg Is It Worth The Watch? Although I wouldnt say that this is the best healer anime out there I still think that this anime is worth the watch. I think that its fun and interesting enough to enjoy despite the dynamic between Lily and Zenos. 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. If you enjoyed this review I would greatly appreciate a follow too
