Correction on the sex scene on Episode 21, in Eris's Mind she definitely want to be with Rudy and is Gung ho with having a Family, but during the Sex she realizes how small Rudeus Hands are and is ironically in her Mind an forcing an Adult(Eris who just turned 15) to have Sex with a Child(Rudeus who is at the time 13) she felt Disgusted with herself(as she should) and then decides to leave to become the person who can protect Rudeus and is worthy to have his Child.

To expand on this. LN cut context. Eris had become so insecure after the orsted incident and finding out about her family that she had intended to use sex as a surefire way to keep Rudeus with her. It was actually her mom who has pushed her to Rudeus on his 10th birthday (which we don't find out until this Eris's interlude. Before it was very much implied that it was her dad's scheme), telling Eris that if she sleeps with him he will definitely not leave her. But like you said, during the act she realized how small he really was and how wrong it was to be so utterly dependent on someone who is still a child. She felt terrible that she would become his chains, prompting the separation.

About sex scene with Eris. She did it not because it was their last time seeing each other. At the time of her having sex she didnt even know she would go away from rudeus. It was sex out of fear of becoming alone, out of fear that rudeus will leave her after he fulfilled his promise to her. She did it to bind him to herself with a spell named "family". She knew he liked her, but she knew either of them wasnt ready for it. She wasnt strong enough to shoulder all of her fears and complexes and so she put it all on rudeus, boy that (at lest to her knowledge) was 2 years younger that was already morally exausted from having to make all hard desidions. Thats why that when she looks at him after the scene was over and sees that his hand is even smaller than hers she understands what actually she had done to him. And being so disgusted with herself she desides that at the very least she must become someone that can be on the same level as him, her inner strengh level must reach the level of her love toward rudeus or she would just become his shackeles. It's one of the strongest romantic writing in anime i've ever watched. I still have tears in my eyes every time i hear opening or second ending. This show was increadible. I dont know about others but i have very strong feelings about LN story in general and Eris in particular.

It's also worth noting that the age Rudeus is in this world at the end of this arc is almost exactly the age he was when he stopped going out. He is 13, almost 14 by the end of season 1, and his previous life effectively stopped at the age of 14 when he became a shut in and pushed his family and friends away from him. His entire world was just his room and the internet, not maturing or growing mentally/emotionally. The entire romance with Eris is actually a major step in his life because heartbreak is what allows him to finally grow emotionally. We as human beings need stimulation to grow, and romantic love is a major part of our lives should we choose to pursue it. Eris leaving hurts him in the short run, but helps him grow to be a better person in the long run who has to actively consider how people may perceive him. And I think what makes that scene so great is that instead of remaining a shut in after this experience like he did in his past, he actually shakes it off. And what pulls him out of his depression is not the idea of pursuing romantic love again, but actually recalling familial love. It's memories of his original mother, and his new mother Zenith, that get him out of bed and back on his feet. The remorse that he finally feels having pushed his old mother away, and his desire to see his second mother safe and well again.

Most mature part of this show to me is: Rudy starts out having locked himself in a room for 20+ years... His family, loved ones, friends all couldn't make a chip in the walls he had erected. His parents even died and he didn't leave that room. The only time he left that room was when he was kicked out by violent force. He was then reborn into another world entirely and through his ptsd flashbacks that we saw for only split seconds at a time... still caused him enough pain and fear that he locked himself away refusing to leave the yard of his new home. It would take Roxy strongly guiding him for him to take his first real step into this new world. (there is a but) BUT! This wasn't Rudy's choice... He was still removed from the yard by someone elses will. (To put this simply... he hadn't broken his chains... someone else had just loosened them a bit for him. You can see this throughout the demon continent journey. Every time he would get down he would seclude himself... when he got his eye poked out... or when his dad punched him in the mouth for talking smack. He always finds a room and locks him self in it. Showing us that the chains still bound him) When Eris hit him with the old "SKEET and skedaddle"... the old "Dine and dash"... the ole... "FELONY HIT AND RUN!" He locked him self in his tent. And only after some DEEP introspective and self reflection did he muster up the strength to break the chains himself... Step out into the world under his own power, not being forced or dragged along by someone else... People watch this anime and think that Rudy died when Truck kun blasted his behind, And started living when Roxy took him outside.... Heck. I thought that too till the last episode. Then it all hit me. Rudeus died when he was beaten and hung in front of his school. And was only, truly reborn when he stepped out of that tent. That's when he ACTUALLY started living again.

In both lives he suffered in his early teen years, but only now was he able to move past it. The final scene of the gate also references this, showing both him getting through his trauma, but also being able to get through it this time instead of giving up.

One thing which I love in MT is the scene in the finale where Rudeus gets the strength to move forward because of his mother. That was a masterful way of showcasing the growth of the character- by showing how he interacted with his parents on both the earth and this new world. His parents were loving and supportive in both worlds, but where the old Rudeus skips his parents' funeral to fap to porn, the new Rudeus is able to break his depressive fall with the thought of his mother's love. A great way to show how he has now grown enough to truly care for his parents.

I think one of the most entertaining aspects of Mushoku Tensei when I was reading the novels in high school has always been just how much Rudeus just seems to fit into the world. He likes to talk about how he died when he was 34, but in reality he barely ever matured or progressed forward in his life at the age of 14. He never got to shed his childish and immature aspects of himself, so while we know he's been reincarnated, everyone else still sees him as very much childish. A smart kid, to be sure, but it's all book smarts. He doesn't know the first thing about working with others, or trying to be considerate and making responsible choices. So everyone sees him as such. Rifujin puts so much effort into having dialogue from different POVs describing how they see Rudeus. And in the end you realize just how much he really is changing after all these years learning from the people around him. People like to say he barely changed because he's still perverted, and I honestly cannot agree. They miss the forest for the trees, hyperfixated on one negative aspect that he admittedly does not work on often. Meanwhile, after coming to this world, he has learned: -the value of family, loving Paul, Zenith, and Lilia like a kid would love their parents -the importance of independence and growing through your own hard work. He has to practice nonstop to improve his mana capacity, and he learns firsthand from Paul that he would have effectively been grooming Sylphy if they hadn't been separated. In the novels Paul even mentions the corrupt nobility of Asura and how they would do this with their concubines, and how it was a major reason why he abandoned his lineage. -overcame his fear of the outdoors and interacting with others, learning to stand up for himself and what he thought was right -regained his desire to learn about cultures instead of shutting himself away all day, studying at Roa in Eris's manor -stops creeping on kids after forcing himself on Eris and scaring her. he still remains a pervert, but this moment is a crucial part for him because he realizes just how important it is to not force himself onto people who are not mentally prepared -meets Ruijerd and reexamines his personal biases, overcoming prejudice that was instilled in him at a young age -realizes the importance of being honest with your friends - trying to do everything on his own got a Demon adolescent killed, something which Ruijerd roasts him for nonstop. It also teaches him the value of life, and that the world is not a game he can try to minmax for perfect results -at the end, finally reflects on familial love and how much he took his first mother's love for him for granted, choosing to atone for that by doing whatever he can to find his new mother. He changes *so much*. But people just go "wow he's a pervert, shit character!"

I'd like to imagine that MT's concept is evergreen. I believe even if Rifujin is not the person who wrote it, it will eventually exist (or had existed!?). The story is "self-contained" and presented its content without the need for prior knowledge or common sense. In fact, I would argue that MT is best enjoyed not only by suspension of disbelief but also suspension of perspectives and common senses (A.K.A. Just follow and empathize with Rudy). It challenges existing common senses not through subversion, but through replay and reevaluation. For example, while Paul's act of cheating was as expected, the action is never justified or redeemed (in fact, it carried further nuances than just Paul being lustful). Instead, the act is simply a contribution to Paul's characterization: this is who Paul is, yet not who Paul only is. Anything introduced later on and in MT's side stories simply adds to this characterization, perhaps with contextualization, but never redemption. MT commonly teases its readers with sensitive scenarios that often warrants kneejerk responses, yet trains us to be patient and think: taking time to consider things in an unbiased, holistic matter while seeking empathy with all parties involved. Rudy demonstrates this ability frequently and fails at it frequently. This is what I believe is the type of maturity MT tries to show us: To avoid kneejerk responses. To avoid forming a rigid perspective. To think rationally, even if you hate to or willfully don't want to. To have empathy. To tolerate. Yet: Be free and serious. Be malleable and strict. Be emotional and pragmatic with moderation.

Mushoku Tensei is my favorite series because it tackles its characters, growing as a person, and life in general in such a way that I have never seen any other novel or piece of literature do ever. The struggles of Rudeus feeling like he has made no progress even though he really has hits super hard for me. The struggles of Roxy feeling uncomfortable where she grew up hit me really hard. Each character just strikes home in some way or another. Really, thank you for helping my Mushoku Tensei withdrawals with your awesome videos on it.

you know... thinking about it, anime in general has shifted focus from shonen to seinen since overly long serieses(one piece and naruto aside) weren't cutting it anymore, but it did so not in abrupt way... but also not in a clear way. like, looking at shows like re:zero, sao, overlord, death note, steins gate, the promised neverland , made in abyss, hxh, and so on so forth, these are all titles that most people would generally define as shonen, yet some of these are HEAVILY seinen(namely mia, death note and re:zero), while others have some amounts of seinen elements, and others barely anything just on the surface. and it feels that specifically sao is the catalyst of something: people started taking the seinen elements for granted. now even mediocre shonen-like shows have seinen elements(which probably ties to phenom's discussion at the start about the discrepancy between "rated M for Mature" and actual maturity in a show) and when something comes out that is ACTUALLy seinen, ACTUALLY mature, people stop looking at it at the surface level, considering only what they can't personally stomach about it and nothing else. hell, even his words about paul and rudeaus "weird to say but i like a character who has the trait "has cheated on his wife"" like... that shouldn't be so odd to say? sure, cheating is bad,n obody is putting that into question, but it's something that happens often and ESPECIALLY when tied to a well-written narrative, it can actually improve a character rather than make it worse. yet that is how he has to describe his liking for paul. because apparently in anime you cant like a character that isn't perfect... this all reminds me about the darling the franxx ep 14 mess where people were literally hating on a VA and writer because a character did something unlikable. like wtf this shit would never happen in the books and in good part the non-mainstream(i.e. dc or disney, yeah i'm looking at you star wars fandom) movies industry, but seeing how the shift from most animes being shonen to there being a good amount of seinens that garnered succes was so murky, it created this expectation that good characters have to be perfect, i mean, just look at the slew of people on twitter going "if you like a villain character you also like their ideals so you're a bad person"... this is all so shallow. try to take the thing a bit more seriously and it all crumbles down into nothingness. i wonder if these people would think i also should just spit in my own father's face or something... but no, they probably just can't fathom the idea of something being written enough to be taken with the seriousness a more thought-out or even real life situation would require.

What actually surprised me the most when I first watched the show was how casually they portrayed sex. Not in an overdramatic way where even Kissing is seen as something amazing, but in a way as it should be. Just sex. I was astonished at how often the media presents the topic as something holy or as you could call it "the home base". But it's only a way to express yourself to someone you absolutely love. Or in Elinalisa's a pastime xd. But it's just awesome to see an anime, made by Japanese people, take this mature approach to the whole subject. That just creates a much more realistic representative then your typical slice of life/highschool romcom. So yeah, that's what I find very mature about this series, it's approach to certain topics.

The show touches upon so many mature themes and addresses them in mature ways I dont think you can watch this without some maturity and get some of the bigger picture and messages being delivered in the series.

Well, Mushoku Tensei is a clear Seinen. It's definitely made by adults for adults. Why? Because even if it didn't have all those pervy tropes, the whole story (no limiting myself to S1 of the anime) is covering so much mature themes that a kid or teen wouldn't be able to understand. Lots of touching moments, of happiness or sadness, character behaviors, how society works in that world, the moral choices are just not things a younger audience could grasp. Only life experience could allow people to sync with the story and its events. Mushoku Tensei is not a classic anime aimed at pleasing the most people : it delivers a touching, credible and hardhitting story which shakes at the very core of the public because it feels real, like you could be with those characters.

You don't turn 18 and unlock the skill sexuality. Its a gradual process and children experiment and experience before 18. I get it, it makes people uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable but like the video said. It felt realistic.

Not only is this show mature, but maturity is basically the main theme of MT. This whole story is full of immature characters growing and ultimately developing into better people. Rudeus, a perverted social outcast takes responsibility of his own actions, then for another person and ultimately leads his entire family. Paul, despite already being a family father and highly skilled swordfighter still has his immature features which almost broke his relationship with Rudeus forever. Roxy, being hopelessly childish despite being one of the most powerful mages in her 40s because she never had a proper childhood and was forced to become an adventurer at a very young age. Silphy, being bullied without any agency to stand up for herself, being saved by Rudeus, shown a path to self-confidence and ultimately evolving into a competent and highly trained person (although that will be part of S2). And I don't even know where to start with Eris, for sure the most complex character of the show who also matures the most. Her immaturity is her deep insecurity, always being an outcast and not fitting in and then being left behind by Rudeus both metaphorically and literally. And then when she gained power and felt good and competent, the person she admires the most almost got killed while she could not do anything but watch, utterly powerless. But them losing against Orsted or Rudeus almost dying wasn't the thing that broke her. It was Rudeus being so calm about it, even practising "Disturb Magic" in case he has another confrontation with Orsted. While she could not even have a proper exchange with Orsted, he nonchalantly practices in case they meet again. That's the moment that ultimately broke her and lead to her decision of leaving his side to train as well.

As someone who has read the LN and since the series is based on that right now, I can say that this series is the best Isekai I have seen. It reminds me of the fantasy genre like Lord of the Ring or the Hobbit. The main character is flawed and those around him are also flawed. Rudy is like Bilbo and Frodo wants nothing more than to stay in their towns but gets drawn into an adventure. Rudy gets sent away by his father to separate Sylphette and him. In a sense, he is thrusted into an adventure. He learned multiple languages and sword skills. These stories have struggles and the same with Mushoku Tensei. I also was disappointed the Mushoku Tensei was snubbed by the CR and other Anime awards. Thumbs up to REDDIT Anime awards and allowing the fans to vote overwhelmingly for the series in most of the categories.

Another thing that the last few episodes (particularly the aftermath of the Eris scene) beautifully portrays is something that I think a lot of people miss on first watch. Rudeus is a scumbag, we all know this. But he views himself as worse than he actually is, and completely opposite to how those around him view him. Yes Eris idolizes him, but nearly every character Rudeus interacts with grows to respect him because of the things he does. But Rudeus is utterly convinced that his accomplishments are not his own because of his reincarnation and the man god's advices. He believes he can only do the things he does because of some advantages he has that he keeps secret, but fails to understand that he still CHOOSES to put work in towards these favorable outcomes. He chastises himself for the aweful things he's done, and for the mistakes he continues to make, but does not allow himself to see that he has helped a lot of people. This impostor syndrome (don't quote me. not a psychologist) is ultimately the biggest contributor to the misunderstanding that happens from Eris's parting, and I absolutely love it. It's a completely believable and in character reaction for him, even though it's a trope that is normally thrown in just to sow unnecessary drama.

Absolutely, his reaction is so critical to a part of Rudeus' character that is consistently explored throughout the series.

One of my favorite parts of the anime is when he reunites with Paul and assumes that he's gone looking for him, and realizes he hadn't even spared a thought for how far reaching the mana disaster was. He was so wrapped up in his own adventures he didn't even consider that the rest of the town was destroyed and teleported. It reminds me of being a kid and not realizing that you aren't the center of the universe which he probably didn't even realize in his old life at however old he was.

Very good video. Perfectly on point analysis of the Eris-Rudeus relationship and I couldn't advise you enough about looking for the lyrics of the first ending song of the anime, you'll have more info about how she really feels. Sadly you got into the usual trope of simplifying our (at least for the LN/WN community) dear mature elf : Elinalise. Elinalise is one very complex and interesting character in the entire story. Not only showing her in a gangbang IS essential to begin to set up the character for the audience, but it also foreshadows a more complex situation she's locked in. I hope people will stop categorizing characters at a glance because in this series, particularly, it's just a fallacious thing to do. Nothing and I insist, NOTHING in all Mushoku Tensei story is there for nothing. Every little bit of detail you could have in S1 of the anime is something that will have great importance or significance for understanding correctly the rest of the story, sooner or later.

I actually enjoyed that the "Tsundere" here wasn't exactly a tsun... She's just a warrior at heart. Won't yield unless viciously beaten, and this has always been, and will always be her personality. It also plays a huge part in her development, as it's primarily a flaw to be like that. And despite her overcoming said flaw, she still retains the same personality. All i'm saying is that she didn't beat him up for no reason, he slapped her, and challenged her authority. Action which stemmed from a train of thought that was swiftly, violently, and permanently corrected.

Eris seems like a tsundere, but she’s not really a tsundere. At the start, she just beats the shit out of Rudy because she’s a spoiled aristocrat, and she doesn’t like him. Once she grows closer and eventually develops romantic affection towards him, she doesn’t hesitate to show it. A real tsundere will shy away and acts violently or rudely to hide their embarrassment. Eris beats Rudy not because she’s a tsundere, be because she’s just a violent person.

Gotta be able to separate fiction from reality. Judge a character by their actions, not their thoughts. You can enjoy a series even if you do not enjoy all the aspects of its main character. Look closely at Rudeus. Yes he has his flaws, but he is not defined by them. Look at his actions instead. His intentions. He helps others and forms very real and very positive relationships with all the supporting cast. What harm has he actually done? What good has he actually done? How do you weigh the negatives of his character to the benefits. This series is great for making you question the characters. It's like thinking "if a man makes a mistake but spends his entire life doing good deeds, should he be judged by his mistake or his good deeds?". Paul is a fantastic example of this. He cheated on his wife. He raped Lilia in his teenage years. Is he a bad person? Will he always be a bad person because of those mistakes? What about all the other things he has done. They surely amount to something, no?

I think something that is pretty mature is how characters change. Which is to say, it doesn't happen overnight. Habits built up over a decade don't change all at once just because of some traumatic event most of the time and certainly not for a minor one. And especially they show older characters change more slowly. Eris develops quite fast in comparison which makes perfect sense. This slower more realistic approach to change makes the characters feel so much more real and make the eventual change feel so much better. For a more dramatic approach, I think ruijerd's character arc was significant. He clashed very heavily with rudy because of his inflexible ideals but through traveling the world realized the value of flexibility and agreeableness without completely being able to let go his rigid ideals.

Even after the fight both him and Rudy had he was still able to find comfort and be able to move past the struggles he was having after the explosion and finally have a moment of respite and relief to finally be able to continue the search. He, was now, no longer alone in the search of finding the rest of his family. And when I mean 'no longer alone' he now has a dependable, and reliable person of blood to help in the search.

Eris an Rudy spent so much time together and saw and did so much, the scene was so blissful and true but as they separate and walk on the individual paths there is a saying : “ Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together. “ - Jules verne That is what I find meaning to eris and Rudy’s love. Eris wants to be worthy to stand as a equal person to Rudy to his greatness and protect what she has to keep him safe. So while it’s a temporary goodbye they will meet again and the feelings that once was declared in 22 will be spoken once more It’s all a question of time; that is all.

Throughout 2021, I tried my best to get into anime. I watched several episodes from Stein’s Gate, Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Code Geass, Demon Slayer, and other popular series. I dropped all of these series, however, because I couldn’t connect with their main characters. Mushoku Tensei is the only anime I watched last year that I connected with. As someone who greatly prefers Man vs Self narratives over Man vs Man and Man vs Monster narratives, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Rudy battle the demons that ruined his past life (anxiety, lust, isolation, hostility, etc). Although the premise of MT is whacky, the character development is sincere. The episode where Rudy forgave his father after remembering how he foolishly pushed his friends and family members away in his past life really struck a chord with me. My only fear moving forward is that MT might transition to a new formula that focuses on Rudy striving to defeat Orsted rather than his own demons. Watching Rudy become a better man is so much more entertaining than watching him beat up baddies.

The love and emotion in those scenes were so powerful that I tear up no matter how many times I read it, the flaw of Paul and the burden he had to carry, the love of Zenith and the sadness of seeing her family breaking. And Rudeus, who picked up the responsibilities his father left behind, who loved his family like how his mother loved him, to move foward as a person. The maturity in this story is unreal, and it resonates with so many people who were put in similar situations, either it be with their families, with their work, with their lives, and shown them how to pick themselves up again.

The moment when you see Rudy explaining to Eris, that "Me and my dad are humans. We all make mistakes." is a good moment to note that they both acknowledge each other, each other's faults and still are willing to accept each other. The dialogue there is just the perfect level of real, and believable enough that, I can't imagine it going any other way even in real life.

I understand that may not weird people out as much depending on the culture they were raised in, but I've always been taught relationships like that just don't happen between family members, and it does not cease to weird me out just a little bit each time, despite how amazing the writing and development between the characters are.

I can't lie, I felt pretty differently about that sex scene. I thought it was viscerally uncomfortable, and I trust the show is going to revisit it if we get a S2. I mean, Rudeus was pretty clear that he wasn't super into doing it at the moment, and Eris was coming on to him really strong. Not to mention, she was feeling a huge moment of weakness from the Orsted fight, and of course finding out her whole family is dead...and then decides she's gonna have sex with Rudeus? And then leaves right after without saying anything. (Also ignoring that their cousins, idk in this context that doesn't feel that bad). This seems like a whole ton of bad for the two of them, and I trust that the show is going to respect that. Not to mention the cup, certainly seemed like it was signifying some sort of disturbance, and the camera work around the pillar in the middle of the tent suggesting some sort of divide. I don't know, an amazing scene, but it did not pull any positive emotions from me.

It's definitely not all positive for sure, especially regarding the circumstances surrounding what pushes it into happening, but beyond the circumstances I do think there's some intent behind making you feel that this is an important and special moment for this relationship that's been building for the entire series. I can understand looking at it in a way that's uncomfortable, there is that side to it, but I also think there's a genuine love and bond between them that's also being expressly communicated.

By the end of the story he ends up in a poly relationship with roxy, sylph and eris because ofcourse he does. If you take the "he's an adult using a child's body to get away with grooming" angle, he's a pedo for ending up with sylph and eris and if you go with the "he's a child so it's fine" makes roxy a straight up groomer with no alternative takes and hell in the manga, there is so much more lewd loli shit and "well it's for the plot" doesnt work here because regardless the mangaka still spent time drawing a 5 year old with their ass exposed

This is off-topic,but I have an interesting idea for a story i'm currently writting that feature love triangle, here the premise: A falls in love with B but then a event in the story happens where A is presumed dead by B and A is put into a coma for 1 month. 1 month after A is presumed dead and in a coma, B now has a relationship with C but due to B still holding feelings for A, the relationship with B and C continues to be stressed as both are trying to have a romance but B is too attached to the memory of A and C is becoming detached from B because of it which results in C finally deciding to break up with B, who is now rendered alone and heartbroken a second time. A few days later, C comes across a awakened but amnesiac A and not knowing what A visually looked like to B, C assumes this person is just as amnesiac stranger and for the next month the A and C work together and develop a romance despite C still being attached to the memory of B and A wanting to regain their memory. Eventually, something triggers A 's memory and they begin to remember who they are and their relationship with B but now A is conflicted because of their relationship with C and don't know what to do. Around the same time, C is beginning to yearn for returning to their home and rekindle a romance with C but doesn't want to break off their relationship with A and is also conflicted. A finally decides to confess to C who they really are and that they intend to return home and rekindle their past love which shocks C who is now dealing with the revelation that that their new partner is the old fling of B while A is shocked to find out B is the old fling of A. B also confesses to A they have been yearning to return home to B as well but theorizes that B will only accept one of them back and tells A to go it alone as B never loved C because B never let go of her relationship to A. A saddened by this, bids C farewell and returns home to B who is overjoyed to see A alive and the two attempt to continue their relationship again for the next month. But A and B both struggle to settle back into a romance because both A and B miss C but do not tell each other this because they are also trying to commit to each other. But eventually B confesses to A that B misses C and wants to reconnect and A reveals to B they also have been thinking the same. B proposes that both A and B seek out C and pursue a polyamorous relationship between the three if C takes them both back. A agrees with this and A and B seek out C and confess their love to C to which C reciprocates their love back to the two and all 3 agree to have a romance with each other. Does this sound like a compelling love triangle?

Done watching The guy's got a good speaking voice and generally, his points about how Rudeus' character develops could have been well-reasoned had this been any character but Rudeus However, it once again sidesteps the major league issue that many people have with the series, which I felt the video downplayed. Rudeus is still an adult in a child's body who is actively being creepy towards people very much not his age. The video doesn't really tackle the aspects of pedophilia rampant in the early parts of the story and plays it off as "fanservice that every anime does" Which would be understandable, but then they follow it with "this fanservice has a point", and unfortunately, the emotional weight of all these sex scenes is tainted by the knowledge that Rudeus is a pedophile and based on this video, never really confronts that part of himself. It just lends an air of grossness to the whole thing when Rudeus sexually and romantically pursues a much younger girl starting at their childhood. Like yes, Rudeus is well-written, but only insofar that you're willing to accept that he nor the story attempts to have him answer for the very yikes actions of being a pedophile, especially up to that point. It's a perfectly valid and sane dealbreaker for people to consider it immature of a pedophile to give in to his actions, and also highly immoral. The video's a bit disingenuous about the source of the controversy by not really talking about that point at all. It's Mushoku Tensei's biggest problem that despite all of its great animation and solid character dynamics, it is all done in service of a genuinely morally reprehensible character, which the story more often than not rewards. Which frankly makes Rudeus' character morally bankrupt, and I'd have found that interesting if the story wasn't so intent on framing him as a "well-meaning guy". Not even a good guy, just well meaning , and that is just gross when talking about a groomer.

The point is that these flaws aren't ignored, not at all. They matter, in particular to Rudeus himself. I can't remember how explicit the anime was on the topic, but in the LN the disgust Rudeus feels towards himself when he touches Eris at the birthday is bit and important. This isn't to say that there aren't moments I felt gross about It, and everyone is entitled to put their own limits on what they want from their entertainment, but this cannot become a reason to give critical analysis. You may not like it, but that's personal. My not liking a certain sport (allow me the stupid comparison) shouldn't become a meter to evaluate a story speaking about players of that sport. The fact that Rudeus is a scumbag is the entire point of the story. It's about facing his deepest points and trying to change. He was a man at the bottom of everything IRL, to the point that he was HATED by his brothers. People change, but it's not easy and rarely it is cutsy. We do stuff and we regret, we fail to be rational or we fail to understand others, and we grow from it. This is the point of this story. It's ugly and gross. But that's part of human life. The whole age topic also plays into a certain degree of "symbolism" within Rudeus journey itself. It's only at the end of the journey with Eris that he is starting to think more of himself as "Rudeus" and less as "That fat japanese man". He is reaching the Age when he stopped living and became a socially troubled and clearly mentally ill person. That's when his actual "new Life" starts. Again, you are 100% entitled to not like this, but specific details of personal feelings on topics cannot be the reason to evaluate critically something.

That's how humans capable of self-critique operate, and many of those are also stupid idiots that can't get their shit together and end up falling for similar errors in the future. Over and over the series Rudeus calls himself out, he is aware of how some of his actions were just BAD, and how he fell for them on his own accord, circumstances were just the "bait" that he willingly took. At a certain point (and when he is already quite ahaed in his evolution into a better person, really this time) he thinks on why Elinalise (Elf lady) hates so much his father and asks her, also saying that his father was extremely sorry about whatever that was and would likely grovel in front of her when they meet. She just answers that he doesn't really want to know the answer and that Paul is a fucking idiot. At this event he reflects that while he is displeased at knowing that his father was garbage in the past, he is still on the road ro help him and "Good for nothing had to look out for each other". This is years after any of his last major fuck ups have happened, after he learned that Eris likely didn't leave him because she was displeased at him, after he married and has learnt to have a child coming and overall having become part of a social group of people that overall are all good people accepting of each major flaws, he still can't think of himself as a valuable person, but he is indeed improving by a lot. The point is, humans are complex. Change takes time, It doesn't happen magically. And nowhere along this he is presented as a good example. NEVER. He is another schmuck in the entire world, who has done good deeds and some bad ones. He needed help to improve and still has a way to go. The entire story is about that. If Art can't represent such stories because people might get bad ideas... Well, this entire discussion was pointless. Some of the best pieces of literature in the world are exactly about such topics, about horrible or questionable people. And this is also true for pop culture.

He is a mighty and Rich asshole using his power to prey on people, he is a victim that never learned some stuff and developed ill behaviours as a result.

IMO - him choosing to start putting his feet forward instead of cowering in his tent was the actual start of the show, because it's the first moment that he has actually grown beyond who he was in his first life.
