[@duncanlutz3698]

This killed Demon Slayer for me. Everyone raved about the awesome animation of the fights... that always have their pacing repeatedly sodomized by multiple giant ass flash backs per fight. I think the last fight of S1 had an entire fucking episode as a mid fight flash back? Not only does this ruin the only redeeming quality of the show, but it's D-tier sentimentality. We are shown the sob backstory of the demon right before MC-kun murks them in a blatant, and poorly done, attempt to make us pray for the devil. And I feel most people only excuse all this sentimental flashback bullshit is because of the high-tier animation. That's it, the shows one and only saving grace.

I love that unlike other Isekais which features a protagonist reliving a new life from baby to man, Mushoku doesn't rush over the childhood part like a speeding train and takes it time to use that period of the protagonist's life as the most crucial point of his development

[@zemellion26]

That time I got reincarnated as a slime, the devil is a part timer, Rising of the shield hero, Re:Zero, No Game No Life, Log Horizon, Sword Art online, Digimon, Bleach, I can name tons of anime that the anime protagonist just gets dropped in a world at the same age as others. The popular isekai are actually some I think you’d like. Isekai isn’t usually “oh I’m dead but I am now living a new life” it’s typically “Higher being sent me to a new world” or “I died but I willed myself back to life in a new world”

[@timcal2136]

@@zemellion26 and that was completely the opposite fo teh point Carbodude was making. SHield Hero, NGNL, Log Horizon, SAO, Bleach, they all have the mc start at the age they were at when they "died." Carbodude's point was that MT DOESNT do that; that reincarnation starts at birth. He goes through the toddler years in the new world, he goes through the prepubescent years, he goes through the teen years. The crucial sections of a child's developmental stages is experienced all over again, which is what sets it apart.

I was going off of this sentence "love that unlike other Isekais which features a protagonist reliving a new life from baby to man" The anime that I listed don't rush through anything.

I love that rudeus is such a character, its hard for audiences to project themselves on him. The fact that hes such a flawed character that some ppl even get mad is just puts a smile on my face cause I know the redemption arcs he gets.

[@LWolf12]

The fact people can't project themselves into Rudues means he IS a character, and not some bland cookie cutter MC, that looks like every other cookie cutter MC. They generally tend to look the same, Avarage height, with messy black hair and bemused look. Kind of like Kirito. Not that there is anything wrong with that is just nice to have a change.

[@SeudXe]

Your comment isnt liked enough because peopled are offended at how right you are lmao. Most people cant relate to him and get mad at him like you said. Im a sympathetic and empathetic person so I feel for him tho. I know hes a decent guy and I love that he isnt perfect.

[@clbrans1]

I think it goes over most peoples heads that: A. You aren't supposed to like him in the beginning. B. He behaves exactly how you would expect a coomer who reincarnated into another world would. I can get being put off by Rudeus, but given his unflattering introduction, I think it is safe to assume that the Author intended him to be off-putting and not glamorizing his behavior.

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

Mushoku Tensei might end up being my favorite anime by the time it's done and I've seen A LOT of anime. I've have hungered for a good fantasy adventure anime for so many years and the industry just kept saying no but finally they said yes this year and it's like they were making up for lost time. The animation is amazing, the soundtrack is amazing, the world is amazing, the characters are amazing, the themes and how they are presented is amazing. This show is just a masterpiece and it's only like 20% of the way through the story. I really appreciate how change is handled in this show. So many times in all sorts of stories, characters just change on a dime but thats not how it works in real life. Change is something you work at, habits that have defined you aren't so easily broken and struggling against the comfort of habit over and over again is how we do change to become better people but it's not like we win every battle either. I also love that everyone in this show is changing constantly, not just rudy. Eris is changing, ghislane is changing, sylphiette is changing, roxy is changing, ruijerd is changing, random ass cat kids are changing and the show realistically shows that generally kids change faster but still not over night. God, what an amazing show. It seriously pisses me off that this is the godfather of isekai. Like, all you other fuckers out there writing shit isekai were already bad, but now I know you had a blueprint as great as this and you still end up with trash? Sickening. Just because you come up with some power fantasy gimmick doesn't mean good writing suddenly goes out the window and characters are allowed to be flat and boring. As always, great video.

[@kuraiaku2997]

I've read Mushoku Tensei ever since the author started writing it (in raw Japanese) and was happy when it finally got adapted into Light novel and manga format. As much as I really wanted this to be animated I always know this series is very tough one to animate with how complex the story and setting it has, I was afraid if it's being adapted by a subpar studio it will most likely flop due to the technical difficulties. Easier isekai series getting animated for years even though they started way later after mushoku tensei, making me feel it will never get an anime adaptation. Never in my wildest dream, they would create a whole studio solely to adapt it.

Here's a fun fact the authors of Re:Zero and Mushou Tensei are both friends in real life and you'll see them tweeting to each other occasionally. I would say that it's highly likely that both have given each other inspiration for their series. It's also known that Re:Zero author is also friends with the Konosuba Author. It's quite amazing how small of a world it is. I guess isekai authors just gravitate towards each other like stand users.

[@gwyneth8306]

Mushoku Tensei has to be one of the Best Anime to come out this year. Rudeus is honestly a great character with the Development he has received.

[@Maltheus_]

Agreed. People do seem to get confused though and consider Rudeus as a bad character just because he isn’t a good person. Which has nothing to do with how incredibly well thought out his character is or the actual quality of Rudy’s character. I don’t think Rudy’s flawed character works against the series as a whole in any way (as I’ve heard of many people dropping the series because of it), in fact I think it takes the series to a different level. The fact that the characters have flaws make them feel real or even human, which I think is rare in anime these days especially anime of this genre with bland protagonists made only for being projected upon by the viewer. Also seeing the journey of characters such as Rudeus, Paul and Eris develop is REALLY satisfying, especially when looking back at how they were before and comparing it to how far they’ve come now and evolved as characters. I don’t think I have to say any more Mushoku Tensei is anime of the year for me.

Rudeus is flawed, he doesnt start off a perfect being, hes still influenced by his old life experiences (even he gets grossed out by his own thoughts which forces him back a little), he moves on and learns to grow past that behaviour, which again, is the point people like King and maybe even you...are so stuck on that beginning you dont even see where it goes, just : ewww pervert

[@norwa3518]

@@johncarver357 Another point to add is that when Rudy does end up marrying and falling in love with a girl, it should be perfectly acceptable for him to be horny sometimes. If its real love, why should we stop them? Let couples have their fun.

Been watching since episode 1 and it’s my favorite anime dude. I’m so glad u can appreciate it where others cant

[@jakobbrattgjerd6869]

Could you do a video on the beginning after the end? Great video btw, watch all the things you review!!

[@eidolon9767]

My favorite thing about this series is how Rudeus develops. His perversion is a flaw of his throughout the entire series, but he learns to control it and he learns how his actions affect other people. Too many series just change their characters completely and call that development, but the characters in mushoku tensei always become better versions of themselves. This series really changed my life and I'm so happy to see that most people are understanding the good points of it instead of just being turned off by the obtuseness of the flaws and themes. I will admit there were quite a few moments where I questioned the author's sanity (always involving Aisha for some reason) but the anime has cut out the first of these weird moments and they aren't frequent enough to detract from everything this series has done for me. I appreciate the wonderful review and the wonderful memes in this video.

[@weirdhuh8046]

what the fuck mushoku tensei is one of the best isekai anime

[@hopeatlast9617]

Mushoku Tensei is pretty much one of my favourite LN series. I read through it with patience, wanting to see what's gonna happen in the next pages. I was entranced by the actual depth of the World, the Characters that still were living while Rudeus wasn't looking, the Systems and Rules that bound Magic and Fighting styles.... But the one that made me love this story even more was Rudeus. Because I loved hating him when he was being a creep, I loved how he warmed up to this new chance at life and strived to be better than his worthless old self, his struggles when his plans just didn't go right, his relationships with the Natives of this World (both good and bad). And more importantly, I loved seeing him becoming a better person. There are people out there that are at the bottom of the Abyss, that sunk so low they can't go any deeper. Rudeus shows at the start a repulsive, disgusting individual, a literal man-child that never grew up past his teenage years as he simply shut himself away from the rest of the world, being thrusted into a different one with its own culture, monsters and Magic. But the thing is, while he is now an inhabitant of said world, that doesn't mean that he changes in 5 minutes. It is more of a gradual improvement, a slow burn that will melt his flaws while he still has to use his own determination to build the path he wants to walk on in his new life. Okay, now that I finished rambling about the story, I'm gonna say "THANK YOU STUDIO BIND!" It's pretty much thanks to the creation of this studio that we got such an amazing Anime adaptation. Frankly, it's really what it deserved. Not even talking about the Music (5 + 1 Remix of the first one and 2 EDs all for 1 season... And 1 ED for Rudy) and the Fight scenes! Yeah. I love it.

[@gadget392]

Your first video on Mushoku Tensei made me watch it and fall in love, thank you Scam. If Rudy wasn't always out looking for cupcakes, it would be my favorite anime of all time because of how much character growth is in this show.

[@mamaharumi]

Mushoku Tensei has replaced Grimgar as my favorite isekai and is now also in my top 10 favorite anime. Such a well done series.

[@kllrnooooova]

Wouldn't even be mad if it didn't. Grimgar is fucking amazing

[@poggers4392]

eh... i still regard grimgar as my most favorite and leagues above everything that isnt youjo senki(second place) all because the light novels slap(until volume 10, im still midway through it but its taking a bit of a nose dive). People are legitimately using the redo of healer defense of "hEs A flAwEd peRSoN" in regards to mushoku tensei but i dont understand how he has to be a pedo and other characters have to be pedo's to better the story(Also if the MAIN CHARACTER only gets better after like a hundred chapters then thats not good writing, thats what you call hamfisting themes that dont go well with your story). Grimgar's themes lend itself well to the world around them in contrast.

[@kllrnooooova]

@@poggers4392 uhh no it's not an excuse when characters gets better "after 100 chapters" when it's meant to be written that way. Mushoku Tensei handles growth in a way that a normal story wouldn't normally: realistically. And also, he doesn't get better after 100 chapters. He slowly changes into something better over the course of said chapters. Just take a look at Eris's whole character arc in the anime and see what i mean. Heck, Rudy's change is also a great example of what i mean even though we haven't scratched the surface of his change

[@_NguyenDinhKhoi]

@@poggers4392 I think you are missing the point here the character development here change in a way that is like taking 2 step forward and one step back and it doesn’t even written as obvious like that ,everything is subtle ,the change doesn’t just happen in a snap it from the culminating of experience that make the character developed that why it intriguing cause it developed slowly and humanly, ( your not gonna be a alcoholic or drug user and just be a completely different person the next day)

[@spiralphoenix9839]

I’m entirely caught up on the Light novel and am currently reading the web novel to get ahead and I must say. It’s easily my favorite Light novel series. Rudeus is a very real character and so are many of the others and it makes me happy that this story is getting more widespread. It also makes me happy to see that the adaptation is doing the light novel justice and then some. One of my biggest issues with the LN is that the fights were lack luster but the anime is doing them really well and the animation is amazing. I can’t wait for the next arc specifically as well since it’s full of character development from rudeus.

[@EsquilaxM]

I thought the magic fights were really well written, in the web novel at least. He doesn't really have any magic fights for a long time, though, iirc.

[@spiralphoenix9839]

@@EsquilaxM I may not have gotten to any great ones yet. The most in-depth one so far was probably with the demon king chick that he shocks and paralyzes and the north sword dude that set fire to the woods when Rudy was trying to get back home. I gave up reading the web novel after he read the diary because the engrish is too annoying to read. I’m sure the fights get better but so far it’s mostly just him using one spell or not using a spell for some reason. It feels like he narrates the fights in his head and doesn’t actually do much in them when it’s a main fight. Feels like he’s standing around. And they lack detail. I’m sure it gets better when he actually starts fighting people on his level, he will be forced to get better, but right now it’s meh.

Finally someone who understands that Rudy is an EXTREMELY FLAWED person (not character) that is slowly changing himself for the better and knowing that changing who you were before doesn't just happen overnight.

[@theogscoobydoo4265]

I remember after watching the birthday party episode I actually felt uncomfortable, if not disgusted. I quit watching for 3 or 4 weeks. I heard nothing but praise for the show, and in today's cancel culture, I thought how on Earth could it succeed? I ended up looking on forums to see peoples take on the show, and much to my relief, there were many who shared the same disgust that I had. After reading further however, many people who had read the novel and or manga explained it was about the redemption of Rudy, and that I should give it another shot. I decided then I would power through a couple more episodes to see if it got any better.... Now here I am, and I cannot drop the light novel. I finished the show, continued on in the manga, and when the manga ran out, I found where I was at in the story in the light novel and pressed on. This is by far one of the best stories I've ever read. While it is a character driven show, one aspect that cannot be ignored is the World building. It is top-tier. Another impressive point to me is the presence of time. Too often do we get Ash Ketchums in anime, but here we get to see Rudy go through all the different stages of life. There is not enough praise that I can give this story. At first, I thought it was just another isekai spinoff, and I am so glad to say that I was wrong. If the studio can continue to adapt the show to the light novel this well, I cannot wait for the next 5-7 years to come. This will be an all time great
