Sentai Filmworks brought out their release of I couldn’t become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job on DVD and Blu-ray back on November 18th, 2014 but the show predates their YouTube channel I think and they never added the trailer streaming. That was fixed recently and we now have that included here while noting that the home video releases appear to be out-of-print with Sentai directly but you can still find copies at retailers. The show is also streaming on HIDIVE still as well!
Check out our review of the series.
The series is directed by Kinji Yoshimoto (Genshiken 2, Unbreakable Machine-Doll) with series composition by Masashi Suzuki (The Ambition of Oda Nobuna, Rail Wars!), sound direction by Yasushi Nagura (The Future Diary, Wagnaria!! Season 2) and animation production by asread (Minamni-ke: Okaeri, Shuffle!).
Plot concept: Raul Chaser never wanted to work in retail, but when the war against the Demons ended unexpectedly, the Hero Training Program he was in shut down. But although combat-trained Raul may feel out of place dealing with customers in a department store instead of dealing out death with hardened steel, his newest co-worker’s culture shock is even worse. Because while Fino Bloodstone is ready, eager and willing to please, she’s also the daughter of the now-deceased Demon King! So not only are her social skills a little challenged, but it’s going to be up to Raul and the staff to teach her the finer points of the human concept of a “pleasant shopping experience”… not to mention when it’s proper to wear what kind of clothes and whose bed you can sleep in. And they’ll have to do it quick, because there’s a sinister major retail chain moving into the area with plans for global domination. Their job isn’t to do or die, it’s to make the customers buy, buy, buy when the ultimate swords, sorcery and sales counter attack ensues in I COULDN’T BE A HERO, SO I RELUCTANTLY DECIDED TO GET A JOB!
