Love your content! You're the Best ❤❤❤❤

cheeky bugger dropping spoilers without dropping spoilers! Cheers for the lovely content as always!

[@romariobrown3616]

I can't hear anything

[@titanus261]

I truly love how you put Ori and TWOTW ost in the background, excellent game and excellent ost. In case you wanna put other ost as good you may play Gris, its just 5h of playthrought but man the game is beautiful.

[@momodoujallow2635]

Where can I read the manga

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

I'm guessing if they wanted to show every detail of Rudeus journey it would've probably taken another 12 Episodes.

[@VirtualShogun]

After they released that trailer not that long ago, I honestly thought they were going to make this all in 1 film.

[@RimuruTempestLegacy]

Honestly it would have been better way more content to go around labyrinth should have been season 3

[@the_frost_]

No, it would have taken 2-3 episodes even if we include the encounter with the bandits, not 12

[@TheMorrowgamer]

I'd be ok with another 12 episodes... I love the world that's been created in the series.

[@MilkIsActuallyOP]

@@RimuruTempestLegacyi know, but the non light novel fan will hate mushoku cuz they arent patient to watch every small piece of content and they want labyrinth arc so bad I do wish they nove this arc to season 3 tho cuz it is too rushed tbh

[@r4v3n38]

As a ln reader, I'm honestly happy they're taking 5 episodes to cover the labyrinth. Yes it takes away from worldbuilding and the relationship between Lise and Rudy, but I don't mind as much. Thank you for this video.

[@DaReal_Magic]

If they keep at two or three chapters per Episode for the Labyrinth part it would be awesome. 5 episode left (E25 most likely Eris OVA) and there are 16 chapters in LN 12 Episode 25 HAS TO BE an Eris OVA like they did at the ending of Season 1. The goblin slayer episode was only one chapter and in Volume 9 and 10 you got one Eris chapter each. Since they already had one Person from those chapters in the anime (during badigadis arrival at the academy) its basically confirmed that the OVA will come. If they intended to skip this, they easily could have cut her out aswell. I really hope that they don't rush things in tomorrows episode. They could easly make a full episode from the talk between Rudy and Pauls party and the first floors of the dungeon. There are so many important things in that conversation that they must not cut out. They also better don't cut too many things from Roxys perspective chapter since thats very important for understanding her feelings about this whole thing.

[@ky...]

I dunno. I like that we'll get all the action, but I hate that if the mangaka delivers on the rumors for the follow up stories then we'll be hurting for the worldbuilding that sets up teleport circle locations as monster hubs.

[@ChaosTheory419]

​@@DaReal_MagicIf I had to guess, Eris' chapters is probably going to end up as an episode 0 for season 3, like Sylphie had at the beginning of season 2

[@DaReal_Magic]

@@ChaosTheory419 I thought about that aswell, since there is also an Eris chapter in LN 13. Ehich would leave us with 6 remaining Episodes for the Lab and returning back home.

[@r4v3n38]

@@ChaosTheory419 it'd make a lot of sense as well plot wise

[@mahuman4164]

I wished the battle with the army could've been shown. Rudy's mental state and Elinalise's subsequent talk with him was really nice. I wish shows like re:zero and mushoku tensei could have more runtime😔

[@uNs7oPaBL3]

yea would have been nice but unfortunately when adapting this stories they simply cant adapt it page by page. It has to take account the different media on top of run time and budged especially with big number battle scenes and big monsters that look very distinct different from one another.

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

@@uNs7oPaBL3 Yeah but S2's skipped content is mad wild compared to S1. The change in directors is really shining through. They don't even make use of the opening like they did in S1.

[@uNs7oPaBL3]

@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken Yea i agree the quality story telling and moments they need to hit in s2 is still there but it definitely would be nice if they don't cut too much of the interesting details that flesh out the story even more. Its not bad but could be better for sure.

[@Razielts1]

man you are definitely an indispensable part needed to watch these deep anime that get cut all the time! thank you for your service!

[@madness682]

This is kind of sad for me. The journey in begaritt was one of my favorites because of how the tone changed from last arc to this one. You really felt how hard the begariit journey is even for strong characters like Elinalise and Rudeus. All of that grueling journey and their destination was finally meeting Paul and the gang again after such a long time. It felt worth it.

[@matercan5649]

I saw in the crunchyroll comments that it cut out so much of the LN。I'm very excited to see what I missed.

[@SwordSaint27]

Giant Ants

[@Piemasta9000]

This is a content cut I don't mind. I liked the light novel here. But what was cut wasn't terribly important

[@Brianworldwide_7]

It was mostly world building but nothing major

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

Giant ants, a trader and his guard group, a bandit attack on that trader which rudy and lise have to help defend against. So yeah a fair bit missed, also how some people on the continent sorta operate

Not his fault it was because of the succubus scent that acts like an aphrosidiac to men.

Traversing on a destert during a day was weird for me. They should've travel during the night to minimalise the exhaustion and hydration problem

I think monsters are the reasons

[@bobbenson6825]

I saw your comment after I added my own. Big agreement.

[@bravosix2960]

@@bobbenson6825They did do this though, it had hit evening. Then giant bats showed up and attacked Elinalise, a succubus appeared in the swarm of bats, Rudeus attacked the succubus away, but then gyroraptors showed up, then Garuda (giant 5 meter chickens essentially) then something bigger was coming so they had to get out of there. They did traverse at night a little still but it was super dangerous. After they passed the sandstorm barrier it probably became easy to do.

[@paradoxdriver4094]

People travel days in the desert because at night it is literally below freezing.

Thank you for explaning. @@bravosix2960

[@inser3882]

2:17 i see what you did there 😂

[@BQD_Central]

could also lose another loved one, who knows?

[@DaReal_Magic]

@@BQD_Central Well Since the man god said he will regret his descision, no matter wich direction he chooses its hard to tell what happns as anime only. I read the LN so i know what happens. No Spoilers ahead, just options what could happen, given on which route Rudy choses. Following options are there: Rudy stays at home and relies on Roxy and Elinalies carriyng Pauls party: 1. Zenith dies, Paul and his party retreats because they can't do it. 2. Paul and his party are failing in the labyrinth and they lose one or several people which will also ultimately lead to zenith dying. Since Rudy knows everyone in this group, except for talhand, there is a huge chance he would lose people he either likes or worships (Roxy). Rudy goes to Begaritt: 1. He eventually can save everyone and manages to get Zentih out of there, but what happens at home? There could be somethin happening to Sylphie or the baby or even to both of them. This is why Rudy was really struggeling to make the descion to go there. He couldn't forgive himself when he leaves Sylphie behind and somethng bad would happen back home. What if Ordested sudenly found out that Nanhoshi told Rudy about the Teleportation circles? Ther would be a chance that Orsted would kill everyone who knows about them to keep them a secret. That would include Sylhpie, Norn and Aisha. Maybe Nanahoshi aswell for betraying Orsted. There is also a chance that he wouldn't make it back home alive since he is a total rookie when it omes to labyrinths and some of the labyrinths are really dangerous. Soldat has warend him when the were traveling in the north. 2.Maybe everthing is going well at home and, despite having Rudy to help them, there are still bad thing happening in the Labyrinth since its dangerous, no matter how good you are. There are more things that could go wrong but i think those are the most important ones. That's what makes TP3 way worse that it may have seemed in the beginning. There were no direct consequences like in TP1 and 2. Thats what i like about this series. Some things are just not predictable and and like to think about what could happen next. The only thing i can say is enjoy the upcoming Episodes. They will be very good. man, this post got way longer then i wanted it to be :D

[@gtshadowniz5474]

when i heard it, i jumped to see a comment like this🤣🤣🤣

[@zerosuitfalcon]

i vaguely recall that being the same way it was described he thought would happen if he went in the actual light novel so yea funny thing to note on rereads

[@adrianperez8728]

Im guessing he is losing a limb and a parent ? honestly would just like confirmation, so I don’t just try to look it up and spoil myself even further

I completely understand but still feel very sad about the fact that they cut all the stuff out. I don't think they would've made a mistake adapting it all. Especially since that would mean more MT episodes. That is undoubtedly a good thing in my book.

IT was still a really gorgeous episode and they showed the TYPE of jouney that Elinalise and Rudy went through. But ofc, i totally expected more details and I'm glad you went over them!

good video. still want to know about the second leg of the journey tho

[@Kmykzy]

Really curious how the director will handle their way back considering that they skipped the second encounter with the succubus and just kept the first one witch didn't really emphasise how bad things can get and how they affect men bad enough to require having women in parties to save them.

[@Lilmat002]

Love ur channel can’t wait for more also love how you put rainbow six siege in the clip🤣

[@spoonhoa6886]

i know it wasnt but for some reason this episode felt super short.. i mean i get the fact that all of his episodes are awesome but i was kinda hoping the episode wouldnt end

[@madestmadhatter]

It's because a lot of it was travel scenes, so while stuff happens not a lot was said.

[@addidaswguy]

I really wish they not only showed the people they met, that battle, the whole thing with him killing and his feelings on it. Also more of him and Elinalise would've been great and make people love her as a character even more. And I wish they made it much more apparent that the reason he was reaching out to touch Elinalise was that he was under the effects of the succubus. I saw a bunch of comments bashing Rudy and saying "I thought you guys said he changed" when he was actually being directly affected by it. Also the lines he said in the LN were much better than "Let's get dirty" 😩.. It was still a good episode, and I am glad we're getting the Labyrinth sooner, but man we missed Soo much. I absolutely believe that if we had the same team, direction of S1, this stuff would've been all Included and also been done way better.

[@animetwilight75]

damn is that why S2 has a different pace than S1?? it felt subtle but i knew something was off..had no idea it was cause it’s getting worked on by a different team :/ what a bummer…

[@addidaswguy]

@@animetwilight75 well they might have some of the same people but apparently a lot of them left at some point to work on a damn IDOL anime 😢. Like can you imagine being at a studio that was created to MAKE a specific awesome anime, and you leave to go do another one of the dozens of Idol shows. I wish the guy who did the Orsted episode did every episode of the entire series! EP 21 was AMAZING. Also Rudy still has Pervy thoughts throughout the LN as far as I can remember, but it seems like they nerfed that because of the whiners. I can't remember the last thing that was controversial. Now granted this arc is a family oriented one, but he still could've had Pervy internal monologue about Sylphie or whatever else

[@uNs7oPaBL3]

Honestly im not surprised they cut this stuff out would have been a bit interesting to see but budged wise and time wise for the season its understandable they got cut and hey we did get to see both reunions of Paul and Roxy so im happy with what we got from the anime still nice watching this cut content videos for both this and Solo Leveling when it was airing.

[@deathitself6985]

Facts i watched The anime then read the manga for fun but eventually got impatient and read the LN was shocked too but i suppose having to fit everything into the season needs picking and choosing what to cut Sometimes it sucks watching a seasonal anime knowing its possibly another few years until the next season while the source material is sitting there

There is more information in this video then it should be. Although Mushoku Tensei does this as well. So, yeah. Just a bit sad that you didn't talk about the caravan arc here. It was pretty insightful and it's absence made the succubus attack look meaningless.

[@Kmykzy]

I know, right? They just made it look like a one-off joke instead of one of the most dangerous encounters there.

[@TheKnizzine]

I would assume its because paul didnt message rudy because he lost Roxy and didnt want to explain that or lose a kid again when he finally knows where they all are.
