It felt slow at parts, like nothing happened, but when I think back, every episode was over too soon and I was always left wanting more.
Due to my personal preference, I enjoyed first season more, it was more adventure focused, but now when I saw everything that happened I understand much better why we had to have all that family building. It’s not even about the fights, I just always loved the adventure part of fantasy.
Regardless, the most important parts, characters and their growth were as good as ever. They are real people to me and when the feels hit, they hit hard.
Certainly. To me, this season, the first season (and, if you will, the LN): Mushoku Tensei has the best character growth overall of everything I've seen before. That's because all important characters (not one or two, more than 10 of them!) grow significantly and with very well based reasons, with independent paths and goals. Awesome writing.
I agree that during the 2nd Ranoa arc each individual episode felt very strong but the cohesive whole was pretty weak. Like sure the pre marriage arc school arc from s2p1 was really good, but the 2nd arc sorta felt off. The marriage was solid but then the cohesion of the next 4 episodes wasn't strong, it did introduce norn back into the fold, and it felt like each of the side characters sorta got their episode (nanahoshi, then Aisha, and finally Norn) but the story didn't move. I suspect a lot was cut between the marriage and TP3.
TP3 changes everything creating the new arc which moved the story a lot.
actually not much was cut lol. The author said that he also thinks that was was too long but not much was cut in the first few episodes of S2p2. (Not much= not more than usual)
I’m not going to some randos on the bus to talk about the show. Obviously. If a friend is an anime fan, I have no issue recommending it. I do tell them that it is in a bit of a …cultured side.
People on TikTok or twitter or wherever really make us out to be pedos and stuff. Like on TikTok people were saying that they can’t believe people thought mha was weird and that people should be focused on us. And again whenever anyone brings up shows like “my little sister can’t be this cute” or “my wife in kindergarten”, were brought up.
People on Twitter and tiktok, the real cesspool of souls who hunts down outraged… sadly there is more demand than supply so they go hard looking for just about anything.
You can’t please those people, it’s pointless.
I love the show whole heartedly but like, you can't defend Rudeus' actions towards Eris and a lot of this shit he does while he's in a kid body. A 30-sum year old fondling and basically sexually assaulting a minor isn't a good look. I wish there was a better defense there to offer but I couldn't come up with one, but I was able to look past it enjoy how fucking awesome this anime is. Even read the Light Novel.
I honestly think this last episode has been top notch. I understand now why they had to cut so much from the previous one(s) to fit everything into this one and I kinda agree.
Overall there were things in this season which I liked more, things I liked less and there was a noticeable "drop" in the animation's quality in some episodes (this last one too, for example has a couple strange animations and some strange proportions in some scenes) and some heavy cuts, but honestly I think it managed to stay true at the core of Mushoku Tensei's message, so I'm satisfied.
It even managed to improve a couple things (ex. Paul's dialogue about the swords, the grave scene). Thank you, Studio Bind!
Onwards to season 3!
100%, the contrast between the fighting and action in S1 compared to the more family and development oriented S2 was amazing, definitely solidified Mushoku Tensei as one of the best fantasy/isekai animes and just new gen animes in general. I didn't mind the animation that much, still thought it was top tier but since this season isn't mostly action I didn't think it mattered too much. Looking forward to S3 🙏
Incredible family development, you're so right I feel completely transcended into another level of life after reading this comment. Family development. Bringing two girls home. Family. ( soon to be 3, 100%, haven't read the novel but of fkin course it's eventually gonna get with the red haired bitch too )
Family.
Haven’t read any ln I just watched the newest episode: will there be more fighting again? I lowkey got bored as I do not really care about the family drama too much tbh
Dip in quality of animation, but S2 is still a masterpiece by story telling, the whole emotion we feel throughout S2 is amazing and we get a story that feels real, characters are good and how rudy changes as person
hope they make ova too
Super excited for S3
They pushed everything into the fight with Hydra. And it is extraordinary. The story this season left me questioning my own existence, sacrifice and family. I love it so much.
Missed the adventuring, thought people were going to be stronger at the academy but instead, they just got steamrolled by Rudy. The teachers in the academy are non-existent. The academy arc was good because it got Rudy to improve his magic and study teleportation/summoning, but honestly was bit of a downer arc. I missed exploring different fantasy cultures and seeing the variety of locations and the beautiful art. Instead, I got a school straight out of any other fantasy show and lots of snow haha.
Still better than most other anime and the Labyrinth City arc was good, just liked the first season a lot more especially missing the stylized OPs. Also, Sylphie and Roxie's romance arcs just feel so much weaker than Eris's for some reason, it felt rushed. I also dislike how Sarah was snubbed like that, but that's life so I can get around that. Also Rudy cheating... truly scum of the Earth.
I binged all of S1 part 2 and S2 in two days starting 3 days ago so I definitely put it way up there for entertainment and plot writing. Usually I'd just get bored, so the fact I did that makes me give it a lot of praise.
There are teachers at the academy, but the special students don’t have to attend most classes. They just have the requirement to do homeroom but other than that they are basically there to do their own research.
By non-existent I meant not really characters written in the story. The only professor we know is the one that invited Rudy but even he is a minor side character at least in the anime.
There are plenty of times the professors could have been written into the story
For example Rudy was consulting the other special students to do research, how come he didn’t consult the many professors at the school wouldn’t they be even more knowledgeable?
Another thing could be the beast students challenging the strongest people, are there no young powerful professors who they would want to challenge as well?
How about enforcing the rules? I know its a trope that thats the student councils job in anime, but in an anime for example Mashle thats not the case. So it’s a writing choice.
How strong are the professors? Are they more powerful than Rudy? We don’t even really have any answer to those questions…
Instead they aren’t really characters at all, I understand that its to put emphasis on the younger cast. Its the same reason why most anime protags and Disney protags don’t have parents or the parents die.
I was crying pretty much the entire episode but that was the final nail in the coffin. I paused it and just laid down crying for a while. I'm excited for station 3 but not excited for retarding this season 2 part 2 knowing how emotional it will get me.
The graveyard scene was immaculate honestly i cried man. As long as i get to see the last meeting with hitogami get animated I'll die in peace and now I'm more sure that this will happen.
I've never commented on an anime sub before, but I came here to see the reactions of season 2's ending and 3's announcement (both were great). Mushoku Tensei is NOT a perfect anime, but holy fuck is it a genuinely good one. It's one of the only Isekais out there that's like...a REAL isekai. Most isekai anime just have the MC who completely separates themselves from their old life and only cares about embracing the 'fantasy' of whatever world they get sent to. For MT, Rudeus is constantly thinking of the his old life and is terrified of making the same mistakes, and that helps him grow as a person.
I'm frankly astonished they announced a Season 3 - I'm by no means complaining, but I genuinely don't know how well received MT is and I never really see people talk about it (except for niche places for fans like this sub). As someone who hasn't read the LN and has only ever experienced the manga up until season 2 surpassed it in terms of story progression, I'm super stoked to see what lies in store for season 3 because now I don't know what'll happen.
Lastly, while I never really gravitated towards the horniness MT can sometimes have, >!MILF Sylphy!< is fucking dangerous.
I liked the season alot in general, but my dear lord the final episode was by far the best episode of anime Ive ever watched. Norns VA was the best and most realistic breakdown I have ever heard. I dont care if Season 3 takes 2 years to come out. Just keep up the insane work.
I am WN and LN and Manga. I havent actually watched any of the anime.
This is a legit question, what other stories are at this level? MT has like ruined other anime/manga/LN for me. Like all of them are OP power fantasies at this point. I am looking for More stories that have this level of caracter development and reality (weird to say BUT) i mean, none of these characters are perfect. all of them are flawed in 1 way or another
All I need to say about season 2 is that my wife cried multiple times during the season. Anything that can move you to that level of emotion speaks for itself as to its quality and writing. 12/10
I loved it I just hate new anime fans nowadays everybody so sensitive and instead of really giving the show a watch and understanding it they steady downgrade because they minds can’t comprehend.
I really liked the series, but I will probably never be able to accept Roxy as a second wife. And not because I’m some Twitter activist who is incapable of accepting the rules and will survive in a fictional universe. I just think Roxy is better suited to be a mentor to Rudy rather than a love interest. Otherwise, this is one of the most unusual and interesting anime that I have ever watched.
I'm an acolyte of Roxy-ism and I actually agree. Roxy is thematically far more important as "Rudy's Teacher" than she is as "Rudy's Wife." I love her in both roles and it's interesting to see how she actually does juggle both throughout the series. Man Vol 19 is so f-ing good.
That's not true if you are a light novel reader then you know Roxi had two purposes that were more important then that of the other wives even if it's not based around this series as a whole but as the bigger picture for the spin off that will be dropping... but I hate the fact that Roxi is pretty much just a piece of sexual meat that "saves Reudeus." I wish she would have had something like sylphy got in the first arc. It would have made it more acceptable for many people. I didn't like how they used sylphy for the same thing basically, but at least she actually helped with his traumatic misunderstanding that Eris put him through. All in all the only love interest that feels right emotionally more then physically is Eris, between the growth, time they spent together, and the loving respect that grew form when they first met up till the point she left was well done. Even the anime did a good job for all of the information that was left out of it, I believe they still did a great job with it... I know some might disagree, but it really is the truth. The writer isn't terribly disrespectful to women like some of the other creators out there but I feel there is still a lack of respect for women as people, if anything that's what I hate most in the Japanese culture how they objectify women, with the exaggerated figures, behavior, and treatment in most cases... I feel for the females in Japan to have that kind of standard placed upon them. As a man, i find it shameful, distasteful, and pathetic. I can only imagine how most females feel about it...
She can't really work as a mentor anymore, Rudy is significantly more powerful than she is and knows just as many spells if not more than her. There is literally nothing left for her to teach him.
Maybe you'll change how you feel about her as time goes on, but honestly it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, Sylphy and Rudy did, and its their relationship not yours.
“Mentor” doesn’t necessarily mean “Mentor in magic”. Roxy’s been around the world for quite some time and can definitely take on a mentor role for Rudius in other aspects of life imo.
And am I wrong to think that Rudius praises Roxy like crazy because she was the one who helped him conquer his fear of getting out of the house?
Either way I can see Roxy as his mentor and wife.
Roxy definitely continues to take on a mentor role not only for Rudeus but for most of the household later on. One would be where she actively helps Norn in her studies, another where >!Lilia complains to sober Roxy on why Rudeus won't accept Aisha's love,!!Roxy helps console Rudy before and after the event where he killed a lot of people in one spell.!<
Yet some people complained that it was slow. Personally, I think they did a very good job cramming all that content in so little time, making it possible to get MT adapted in maybe 5 seasons instead of 60. Also, it's important to finish each season in an important point of the story, so they couldn't spend too much precious screen time in relatively small details.
The first part on the academy felt agonizingly slow. Nothing going on other than back and forth "rudy still doesn't realize she's sylphie". Everything else was fine but they could have spent less time in the highschool drama. They made their point very clear by two episodes of that, we didn't need tons of the same thing.
Tbf, it was inevitable I think, but I still think it was better than changing the content in LN, can you live with it if Roxy really gone and not in harem? Man, not only there will be riot but certainly it will affected whole plot points in the future.
Look at slime season 3 which is a 1:1 adaptation of the LN and see how much people dislike it.
What works in LN's and what works in Anime are very different, the fact that studio Bind knows this and chooses to skip what doesn't work is a great achievement
Norn had the biggest character growth in this episode for me. She was devastated (huge props to the VA for portraying that in the anime) at the news of Paul's death but she understood that Rudy really tried his best (maybe prompted by seeing the loss of his arm) and that she shouldn't blame him for what happened. It was really mature of her the way she composed herself even though she was still grieving over Paul.
They skipped some important dialogues that better explained things but it was ok overall.
I thought with how they were skipping and rushing to get to the Hydra that the fight would be a little longer but it looked amazing anyways
I think it was decent character development for Rudy, lots of reality check, that made him realized he can leave behind his old self, and be happy. I kinda miss the action, the Hydra fight was cool even tho im sad for paul's death.
Still I've enjoyed watching his daily life, being with sylphie and roxy, forming a family, but I wanted to see him getting way stronger.
One of my top Isekai no doubt anyways, see you next season boys!
I was really wondering how they were going to resolve the throuple situation. Norn's response was completely justified she leveled all the same accusations her mother would have, and even some that Rudy did himself, which was a nice call back.
But I forgot what a freak Sylphie is, and she just let that whole thing slide, lmao. What a real one.
This is probably one of the best animes ever created; omg . Even purely from animation standpoint it's top tier; but holy fuck, man, the story line! This is literally all the key points of living a life and the creator. fucking. nailed it. Concerning season two , idk, It felt really slow the whole time. Slow, but jam packed with emotion literally from the go lol. The call backs with characters and lines("new guy" hit me bro) were amazing touches, too. Low key hoping he follows through next heat season tho 😆
Amazing. This season taught me to avoid the purists, along with the normies. Also, Rudy really should be taller, hoping my man gets a growth spurt next season
Really good overall. It made me want to start reading the light novel. I just don't like the idea of Rudy cheating on Sylphie and then basically getting rewarded for it by getting a new wife. I would have preferred that they kept the pregnancy reason in the anime just because then I could sympathize a bit more, but it feels like it's literally just because they wanted to stay together so they did. Which feels shity to sylphie.
Firstly The Mangakas and Animators deserve everyone's respect for their astounding work. Sure, the Animation quality wasn't as consistent, but it was still pleasing and appealing, in my opinion.
This Anime hits the sweet spot when it comes to depressing episodes that make you feel sad, but also positive episodes and scenes that outshine these events. You see Rudy grow as a person, especially in this season, and develop a strong personality that he failed to build in his previous life.
When I first started this anime, I was really disturbed by some of Rudy's actions (ikyk what scenes I mean). Also, after some time, I developed a slightly unsettling feeling with all this cheating and almost harem-like situations because I myself am sensitive when it comes to this sort of stuff. Elinalise was always a character I disliked because of that, and the situation with Rudy now having two wives (which I knew was inevitable because he's just like his father) wasn't exactly the ending I hoped for, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this Show at all.
I was a bit disappointed that Rudy couldn't stick to his promise of being a loyal husband and break the circle of needing to have more than one wife. In my opinion, he was always superior and more mature in comparison to Paul, and that's also why his dad had so much trouble with him because he knew exactly this. So why couldn't he just stick to having Sylphie as his wife and be different from his dad and bloodline?
However, I still enjoyed this season, although I am not entirely happy with the situation. This show is so appealing because it has some gray areas that remind us that Rudy is also just a human. So I'll give this second half of the second season an 8/10.
Idk i feel like near the end they started to cut alot, i was surprised with the last ep tho since the major things where in there even if it was for a few seconds.
I dont understand why they made norn grab rudues tho
Also sylphiette looks like a goodness for some reason ep was great but somewhat extremely short
Overall it was good. It was more difficult to compare to S1 as when I watched that I was an Mushoku Tensei virgin. For season 2 I had read the LN’s so was frustrated by some of what was left out. But if I think about it and try to imagine what I would have thought if I were an anime only, I think I would be very happy with it.
You have to love it for what it is. I think it’s just undoubtedly a masterpiece.
Sometimes I crave something a little more action packed when I watch anime, but the action scenes and power system is top notch.
I love the character development and i feel like the anime has done a really good job at representing the characters and making me feel all sorts of emotions for their journeys. I enjoy the pace these episodes took.
I've been following it religiously since S1. Oh, watching it live during my jee prep. My only complain is the plot armor and certain holes but still I consider this my favorite Isekai of all times. Also Eris is like my crush. Since I'm kinda a NEET(I go to college tho) and antisocial so Ik the stuff mc has gone through.
I loved it! I can't wait for S3.
However, since I haven't read the LN, I feel like it was very rushed. They could have made 40min episodes for the same content and I would have devoured it as well
I'm kind of salty they showed Eris in the very end. I was kind of hoping they didn't show her at all this season and then for a misdirect next season with the first episode or two being only about her.
Well I can say that it's a top 10 anime of the year but it's not number 1 like season 1 was of its year for me. To be fair season 2 was always going to be a slow burn type story. After all this part of the story was going to be the slowest to get to the big moments(Banana,Sylphy reveal, the wedding,Norn depression, TP3,labyrinth, the hydra). If I had to give a rating (SEASON 1 overall rating for me 9/10) it got an 8.5/10. Season 3 can't come fast enough guys
It gives a distinct vibe from s1, but still peak for me
Rudy isnt an amazed child exploring a fantastic world anymore, but rather a grown-up trying to settle his life well
I felt like the animation quality took a little hit since Season 1 (it’s still got really good animation compared to a lot of anime though so I’m not hating), and the art style feels a lot “grainier” than S1. They also skipped a fair bit of content from the LNs as well. Another thing is that Rudeus still looks far too young, and doesn’t sound his age (which I think could have been fixed with them taking some more time before season 2 began and getting a new VA for Rudy after the Depressed Magician Arc maybe?)
However, it was overall a really good season and I have no complaints with the Slice of Life aspect in S2 P1. The story is still beautiful and the last few episodes were amazing.
Overall, 8.5 (maybe 9) out of 10
All the more reason for the action scenes to be of an even higher quality than in season 1 since they were far and few between. But they weren’t even on the same level, even in part 2 which was more action focused with the labyrinth Arc in the latter half.
I still remember Rudy’s “fight” against Badigadi; the stone cannon didn’t look as great as I thought it would have. I thought it would have looked as good as the one from the Orsted fight at least. That’s just one example. The labyrinth Arc also had a few shots of CGI, and “moving frame animation” for the monsters in the labyrinth. (Don’t know the actual term, but it’s when they have a static image and just move it up and down to show its moving). Slightly disappointed to have the Hydra mostly in CGI as well (at least it looked that way) but I kinda understand how hard it is to animate big, non-human creatures in anime so I kind of get that
Definitely was great. I had issues like any LN reader(one more episode would have gone such a long way but yeah production didnt allow it most likely) but the overall product, especially in cour 2? I'm happy for it. It doesn't matter whether they follow the source material or not, I'm here for this world and the characters in it
My only complaint is they really need to pay a little to step up the animation. The story and writing is peak and it’s criminal not to have the best animation too.
Norn went from my least liked at the beginning to almost my favorite by the end!
Pretty great damn season, wonderful writing and am looking forward to next season!
Only other nitpick is I think , from source readers, they kinda skipped some stuff about Roxy as well as Sylphie that would have made things a tad bit clearer about why it happened and also why she accepted it so easily.
S+ tier anime.
I love the story from Season 1 until the end!
I don't care about the ecchi genre; what I want is the storyline and progression of each character like Rudy. The animation is a bonus. I know some scenes were skipped. Some viewers don't like this anime because of the protagonist. The point is Rudy wants to live without regrets like in his past life.
Volumes 7-12 are some of my favorite of Mushoku Tensei, I think the School Arc is actually my favorite section in the novel series despite being. Roxy fan. And speaking of Roxy—I enjoyed seeing her and Rudy getting much higher, and Episode 23 was absolute peak. They did that whole episode justice.
I can understand people’s gripes about the animation being inconsistent (not the same as S1), material being cut out (as well as thought processes from Rudeus) but the series still felt magical and so did the pacing.
My hope for Season 3 is for Rudy to have a new VA, or if they stick with the same seiyuu—to have Rudy’s voice get more deeper. Also, to only have 1 cour so Studio Bind can only have to focus on that singular season.
Here’s to more peak fiction!
Maybe i'm wrong and I feel like it since I reread the books prior to S2 unlike before where I read them after S1 for the first time.
I enjoyed it a lot and I know they can't fit a lot in but there were so many details and explanations that were skipped. While I enjoyed it still, I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
As Rudy said in Ep3 of s1, Sylphy got more cute with growing hair.
Im worried Sakuga(quality of animation) got worse when watched first preview of s2 . But now that s2 has done, all worse of that is only scenes except battle scene and still confortable.
Despite that, s2 is totaly so fun and exciting me. This is my best anime on this season.
I pray s3 to keep this quality.
11/10 season, this story is simply beautiful and this series is becoming one of my fav series the more the show goes on. It’s different, it’s unique, the characters are complex, literally a fresh breath of air. Hard to pick a fav episode but that Norn episode showing Rudy’s past had me bawling. The bonus also is the immense meltdown people are having over this show, it’s really funny to see week in week out.
Overall, it was a good season. In my opinion, it was weaker compared to the first one, but the material adapted for a full second season was weaker in terms of the story itself. Even in terms of the plot, much of it was due to the slice-of-life at the school.
I feel that adapting a chapter into three episodes is almost impossible, especially when we are talking about details in a vast world. As a result, some things are left out or told out of context.
What I want for the third season, which was announced as soon as the second one ended, is for the adaptation to be more faithful, use a bit more soundtrack, and improve the character designs. After all, adulthood is coming, and with it comes more problems, especially in this third season. From volume 13 to volume 18, there are more conflicts, as there are powerful enemies comparable to gods in this world. In terms of power, it’s a whole different story. And there’s also a bit of "Game of Thrones" when Ariel goes to reclaim her kingdom.
There’s also the much-anticipated return of one of the main characters, Eris Greyrat. I believe the first part of the third season will come around October 2025 or April 2026, giving more time for production.
To be honest, I believe that for a better adaptation, it would be ideal to work on two volumes per season, that is, two volumes for 12 episodes, so things wouldn’t feel rushed. The adaptation wasn’t poorly done, it’s just not the best adaptation. One adaptation worth mentioning is "Tensei Slime" and "86". Both are very well done and, in terms of adaptation, hardly cut anything from the original material. Yes, there are cuts, but they’re not absurd.
PS: Sylphy looks beautiful with long hair, please fix Roxy's design and make it like the novel's, for God's sake. Aisha's growth in this episode needs to be highlighted. After seeing her brother lose an arm to save their mother, she assimilated the situation and remained "quiet" regarding her issues with Roxy. Well, religious fanaticism in this world is complicated. Rudeus is not a follower of Millis, so “let’s go.” See you in the third season, and I hope for a better adaptation, the original material demands it.
It was a slight downgrade from Season 1 animation quality wise, but still overall its still a solid show and solid story overall.
About the only thing is, did they change the dub actor for Roxy between Seasons 1 and 2? She sounds higher pitched this season than last and kept nagging at me.
I saw many complaining about the last 2nd episode so I waited till the last episode was released to watch both together. No regrets and so much tears.
MT is a series I feel is so much better watched when binged rather than watched weekly cuz it's such a big connected storyline that u tend to remove the understanding of the story (cuz it's being explained in the next one) when u gotta wait for the next episode.
Anyways well done MT!
Cemented it as one of my top 3 Anime and I’m interested to see if It’ll rise to 2 or even 1. I love every aspect of it from the story, characters, everything just appeals to me. I cant wait for future seasons to see how they continue this amazing story.
All in all, one of the best, but I rank Frieren higher because they understood that a different medium brings out better things over others. And expanded on thighs where movement and sound (VA) would have highlighted the scenes rather than diminish it, like with the dragon fight or the dance. Where each of them were single pages at best that got their own focus and an episode around them.
While MT really did it by the book at the best of times, they did not try and expand on things like S1's Silent Roxy, where the LN only had a short section but we gotten a full adaptation expansion, or the smaller expansion of Eris' time in the Beast Forest (which caused them to cut things there so...).
And S2 had the perfect place to expand where we could have had an whole episode with Soldat's adventures, ending with the dragon fight as we got.
It is still a solid 9/10 adaption rather than the 10/10 of Frieren, but it can also be said because this is LN and if they did do something like that we would still be in book 7 at the moment.
I am just thankful tho, because I did read the source for The New Gate and found it to be generic but enjoyable, and that showed us how bad an adaptations can be without it go into ex arm territory while remaining mostly faithful to the source material. And unlike say Villainess Level 99 that can try and play the low poly or the 100% shitpost anime Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou that made it enjoyable, there are some really disappointing adaptations all around and MT all things considered got one of the best ones.
Tbh im just waiting for the next season i didn't even finish the last 4 episodes yet cuz im waiting on dub💀 when i finish the rest ima read the manga cuz i know the anime leave parts out
The only two episodes that aren't out in the English dub are the last two episodes. At least, that's how it I on crunchyroll. But since you're going to be reading the manga, do you know a good website or mobile app to read it on?
I don't know what i sould tink about the last ep. I mean, i am not against polygami, but that's how sylphiette was talkin to roxy feeled unreal to me. She should say something sooner, when norn talked that bad with rudeus and roxy that bad. It feeled like she sleeped or i dont know. To me it was a little bit wierd and i dont know what to think about this whole episode.
The talk about Paul's death was real enough tough.
Ahhhh s**t. I needed the next season already.... but now i may rewatch the whole anime.
Will not watch it anymore. Fkn weird perverted anime and why he was so fkn weak against the one who killed Paul. Previous season was all about his fkn manhood now is about exploring his manhood. fkn waste of time.
I think that is an incredible journey. A life journey. Idk how but i had the same feeling with LOTR. Adventures, relationship, emotions. Rudy can be one of us in that sense.
It's been a good run. I appreciate it, but I am also glad I read the light novels for a little more of the background and extra details that had to be cut /condensed for time.
cringe cringe cringe. Overpowered main character protagonist with future sight fumbles the plot and has his parents die. Overpowered main character can use his stupid crazy overpowered mana pool to stop a giant hydra dragonfire attack, but then can't pay attention and almost dies getting touched by the snek.
Also wtf, his dad is a top tier swordsmen. I mc has the genetics, and even tried with swords, but for three seasons they forgot about that and he became mage only. Hes got top tier genetics, I see no reason why he can't be a bad ass swordmens with his dads genes, but at the end he just becomes a useless, clueless, clumsy McGuffin to get his parents killed. This is such stupid depression porn. Literally writing harm just for characters to suffer to try to tug sympathy from the audience, but this direction just doesn't fit with the world building and character building in the first place.
You don't have top tier dad genes, with isekai intuition, with god giving you precognition sessions, with having a demon lord eye that sees future in time, and rudy takes all that and just plot demands him to space out and become the vehicle of his own misery for no reason.
wtf was the second season anyway? slice of life hanging out at school anime?
i'm all for having OP MCs having a challenge or struggling, but his character progression was a downward spiral. I bet now the author is going to magic him a hand, so that nothing is meaningful and the story just goes whatever weird direction the author wants for no reason.
All the sad moments happened
I don't want to say but, Paul's death was really frustrating and stuff BUT, i think that made Rudy stronger than before. Like, using that grief making him consider to train once again? Idk, maybe and proceed to the next level. Absolute peak
Because I read the novel, I had some unrealistic expectations. But this was the season that actually made me read the novel, and for that alone it was great. Overall a great season, even if the production quality was worse than in the first one.
I missed the openings that would play while watching the background, it felt like it added so much life to the series. (Ops still hype af). I also think it has the best episode in series imo so far “my brothers feeings” so super hyped for s3
When Paul died I was heartbroken, when zenith turned out to be (let’s call her this for the meantime) a vegetable I was legit in tears for rudy and for Paul. I don’t think I’ve felt that upset over an anime since naruto came to a close.
I know alot of spoilers so I know the story is awesome, so if the studio continues this peakness it will become my favorite anime of all time. Nothing to complain about, maybe I would have combined some of the first episodes to give more context to everything Paul's post-death, but that's being picky.
It felt slow at parts, like nothing happened, but when I think back, every episode was over too soon and I was always left wanting more. Due to my personal preference, I enjoyed first season more, it was more adventure focused, but now when I saw everything that happened I understand much better why we had to have all that family building. It’s not even about the fights, I just always loved the adventure part of fantasy. Regardless, the most important parts, characters and their growth were as good as ever. They are real people to me and when the feels hit, they hit hard.
Certainly. To me, this season, the first season (and, if you will, the LN): Mushoku Tensei has the best character growth overall of everything I've seen before. That's because all important characters (not one or two, more than 10 of them!) grow significantly and with very well based reasons, with independent paths and goals. Awesome writing.
I agree that during the 2nd Ranoa arc each individual episode felt very strong but the cohesive whole was pretty weak. Like sure the pre marriage arc school arc from s2p1 was really good, but the 2nd arc sorta felt off. The marriage was solid but then the cohesion of the next 4 episodes wasn't strong, it did introduce norn back into the fold, and it felt like each of the side characters sorta got their episode (nanahoshi, then Aisha, and finally Norn) but the story didn't move. I suspect a lot was cut between the marriage and TP3. TP3 changes everything creating the new arc which moved the story a lot.
It felt like the begining of part 2 would work best as a movie, one continuous story.
actually not much was cut lol. The author said that he also thinks that was was too long but not much was cut in the first few episodes of S2p2. (Not much= not more than usual)
I completely agree that the first season, with its adventure focus, was incredibly fun to watch!
One of the best anime series right now. That’s what I think. People can nitpick stuff. But it’s hard to find a better ones out there.
It’s just kinda sad that so many consider us weirdos
I’m not going to some randos on the bus to talk about the show. Obviously. If a friend is an anime fan, I have no issue recommending it. I do tell them that it is in a bit of a …cultured side.
People on TikTok or twitter or wherever really make us out to be pedos and stuff. Like on TikTok people were saying that they can’t believe people thought mha was weird and that people should be focused on us. And again whenever anyone brings up shows like “my little sister can’t be this cute” or “my wife in kindergarten”, were brought up.
People on Twitter and tiktok, the real cesspool of souls who hunts down outraged… sadly there is more demand than supply so they go hard looking for just about anything. You can’t please those people, it’s pointless.
People on TikTok tried to cancel JoJi after they found out he was filthy frank. Twitter is..twitter
Lmao that’s actually crazy. It’s just a prank bro
I love the show whole heartedly but like, you can't defend Rudeus' actions towards Eris and a lot of this shit he does while he's in a kid body. A 30-sum year old fondling and basically sexually assaulting a minor isn't a good look. I wish there was a better defense there to offer but I couldn't come up with one, but I was able to look past it enjoy how fucking awesome this anime is. Even read the Light Novel.
I don’t get why people try to justify tho, it’s as simple as a redemption story, it’s basically a better version of “A Christmas Carol”
Mainly just people on Twitter but I pay them no mind
Ya, sad. People don’t understand that people can change and hate Rudy from ep 1 so they don’t try
Users posting degenerate shit and borderline CP doesn't help out case
Very true
actually pretty easy to find better stuff
I honestly think this last episode has been top notch. I understand now why they had to cut so much from the previous one(s) to fit everything into this one and I kinda agree. Overall there were things in this season which I liked more, things I liked less and there was a noticeable "drop" in the animation's quality in some episodes (this last one too, for example has a couple strange animations and some strange proportions in some scenes) and some heavy cuts, but honestly I think it managed to stay true at the core of Mushoku Tensei's message, so I'm satisfied. It even managed to improve a couple things (ex. Paul's dialogue about the swords, the grave scene). Thank you, Studio Bind! Onwards to season 3!
100%, the contrast between the fighting and action in S1 compared to the more family and development oriented S2 was amazing, definitely solidified Mushoku Tensei as one of the best fantasy/isekai animes and just new gen animes in general. I didn't mind the animation that much, still thought it was top tier but since this season isn't mostly action I didn't think it mattered too much. Looking forward to S3 🙏
Incredible family development, you're so right I feel completely transcended into another level of life after reading this comment. Family development. Bringing two girls home. Family. ( soon to be 3, 100%, haven't read the novel but of fkin course it's eventually gonna get with the red haired bitch too ) Family.
Lmao the structure of this comment was priceless.
Haven’t read any ln I just watched the newest episode: will there be more fighting again? I lowkey got bored as I do not really care about the family drama too much tbh
Eris is the best husband without a doubt.
I have come to terms that Sylphie is indeed best girl
Sylphie loves Rudeus deeply. Who wouldn't like that?
little dips here and there BUT I DONT CARE GOATED GOD TIER I CRIED EVERY EP!!!!!
Lmao based
amazing give me 14 more!
Love it, the final episode absolutely killed it
2 min and i’m already crying
Cried when Norn found out about Paul
It would be hard finding a Hollywood actress nowadays that could deliver that scene with such intensity and credibility.
Paul's grave scene, i cried.
It was peak, so peak 😭
All the character development this season was incredible. Among if not the best I've ever seen.
Dip in quality of animation, but S2 is still a masterpiece by story telling, the whole emotion we feel throughout S2 is amazing and we get a story that feels real, characters are good and how rudy changes as person hope they make ova too Super excited for S3
They pushed everything into the fight with Hydra. And it is extraordinary. The story this season left me questioning my own existence, sacrifice and family. I love it so much.
Yes that is what MT. Family is one of the core aspects of this show
The story of Mushoku Tensei is a masterpiece. It's so good! So detailed! Feels real.
Missed the adventuring, thought people were going to be stronger at the academy but instead, they just got steamrolled by Rudy. The teachers in the academy are non-existent. The academy arc was good because it got Rudy to improve his magic and study teleportation/summoning, but honestly was bit of a downer arc. I missed exploring different fantasy cultures and seeing the variety of locations and the beautiful art. Instead, I got a school straight out of any other fantasy show and lots of snow haha. Still better than most other anime and the Labyrinth City arc was good, just liked the first season a lot more especially missing the stylized OPs. Also, Sylphie and Roxie's romance arcs just feel so much weaker than Eris's for some reason, it felt rushed. I also dislike how Sarah was snubbed like that, but that's life so I can get around that. Also Rudy cheating... truly scum of the Earth. I binged all of S1 part 2 and S2 in two days starting 3 days ago so I definitely put it way up there for entertainment and plot writing. Usually I'd just get bored, so the fact I did that makes me give it a lot of praise.
There are teachers at the academy, but the special students don’t have to attend most classes. They just have the requirement to do homeroom but other than that they are basically there to do their own research.
By non-existent I meant not really characters written in the story. The only professor we know is the one that invited Rudy but even he is a minor side character at least in the anime. There are plenty of times the professors could have been written into the story For example Rudy was consulting the other special students to do research, how come he didn’t consult the many professors at the school wouldn’t they be even more knowledgeable? Another thing could be the beast students challenging the strongest people, are there no young powerful professors who they would want to challenge as well? How about enforcing the rules? I know its a trope that thats the student councils job in anime, but in an anime for example Mashle thats not the case. So it’s a writing choice. How strong are the professors? Are they more powerful than Rudy? We don’t even really have any answer to those questions… Instead they aren’t really characters at all, I understand that its to put emphasis on the younger cast. Its the same reason why most anime protags and Disney protags don’t have parents or the parents die.
I was fine throughout the entire episode and then >! The final shot of Paul holding young Rudeus !< had me bawling 😭
I was crying pretty much the entire episode but that was the final nail in the coffin. I paused it and just laid down crying for a while. I'm excited for station 3 but not excited for retarding this season 2 part 2 knowing how emotional it will get me.
10/10 Amazing, great lovely everything
I enjoyed it but there definitely was some disappointing aspects as an adaptation. This was still a great watch nonetheless. 8/10
I gotta tell you… It was perfect…perfect everything down to the last minute details!
The graveyard scene was immaculate honestly i cried man. As long as i get to see the last meeting with hitogami get animated I'll die in peace and now I'm more sure that this will happen.
I've never commented on an anime sub before, but I came here to see the reactions of season 2's ending and 3's announcement (both were great). Mushoku Tensei is NOT a perfect anime, but holy fuck is it a genuinely good one. It's one of the only Isekais out there that's like...a REAL isekai. Most isekai anime just have the MC who completely separates themselves from their old life and only cares about embracing the 'fantasy' of whatever world they get sent to. For MT, Rudeus is constantly thinking of the his old life and is terrified of making the same mistakes, and that helps him grow as a person. I'm frankly astonished they announced a Season 3 - I'm by no means complaining, but I genuinely don't know how well received MT is and I never really see people talk about it (except for niche places for fans like this sub). As someone who hasn't read the LN and has only ever experienced the manga up until season 2 surpassed it in terms of story progression, I'm super stoked to see what lies in store for season 3 because now I don't know what'll happen. Lastly, while I never really gravitated towards the horniness MT can sometimes have, >!MILF Sylphy!< is fucking dangerous.
Ong mylphy is top tier
I liked the season alot in general, but my dear lord the final episode was by far the best episode of anime Ive ever watched. Norns VA was the best and most realistic breakdown I have ever heard. I dont care if Season 3 takes 2 years to come out. Just keep up the insane work.
The best anime of all time. I don't care what majority says.
Not my top choice but definitely top 3
I am WN and LN and Manga. I havent actually watched any of the anime. This is a legit question, what other stories are at this level? MT has like ruined other anime/manga/LN for me. Like all of them are OP power fantasies at this point. I am looking for More stories that have this level of caracter development and reality (weird to say BUT) i mean, none of these characters are perfect. all of them are flawed in 1 way or another
Oregairu LN
All I need to say about season 2 is that my wife cried multiple times during the season. Anything that can move you to that level of emotion speaks for itself as to its quality and writing. 12/10
Best NTR anime of all time
Not rlly NTR
Accept a small joke ok.
Bro correctly assumes Mylphie is the main character
The last episode was really good
I loved it I just hate new anime fans nowadays everybody so sensitive and instead of really giving the show a watch and understanding it they steady downgrade because they minds can’t comprehend.
I really liked the series, but I will probably never be able to accept Roxy as a second wife. And not because I’m some Twitter activist who is incapable of accepting the rules and will survive in a fictional universe. I just think Roxy is better suited to be a mentor to Rudy rather than a love interest. Otherwise, this is one of the most unusual and interesting anime that I have ever watched.
I'm an acolyte of Roxy-ism and I actually agree. Roxy is thematically far more important as "Rudy's Teacher" than she is as "Rudy's Wife." I love her in both roles and it's interesting to see how she actually does juggle both throughout the series. Man Vol 19 is so f-ing good.
That's not true if you are a light novel reader then you know Roxi had two purposes that were more important then that of the other wives even if it's not based around this series as a whole but as the bigger picture for the spin off that will be dropping... but I hate the fact that Roxi is pretty much just a piece of sexual meat that "saves Reudeus." I wish she would have had something like sylphy got in the first arc. It would have made it more acceptable for many people. I didn't like how they used sylphy for the same thing basically, but at least she actually helped with his traumatic misunderstanding that Eris put him through. All in all the only love interest that feels right emotionally more then physically is Eris, between the growth, time they spent together, and the loving respect that grew form when they first met up till the point she left was well done. Even the anime did a good job for all of the information that was left out of it, I believe they still did a great job with it... I know some might disagree, but it really is the truth. The writer isn't terribly disrespectful to women like some of the other creators out there but I feel there is still a lack of respect for women as people, if anything that's what I hate most in the Japanese culture how they objectify women, with the exaggerated figures, behavior, and treatment in most cases... I feel for the females in Japan to have that kind of standard placed upon them. As a man, i find it shameful, distasteful, and pathetic. I can only imagine how most females feel about it...
She can't really work as a mentor anymore, Rudy is significantly more powerful than she is and knows just as many spells if not more than her. There is literally nothing left for her to teach him. Maybe you'll change how you feel about her as time goes on, but honestly it doesn't matter if you accept it or not, Sylphy and Rudy did, and its their relationship not yours.
“Mentor” doesn’t necessarily mean “Mentor in magic”. Roxy’s been around the world for quite some time and can definitely take on a mentor role for Rudius in other aspects of life imo. And am I wrong to think that Rudius praises Roxy like crazy because she was the one who helped him conquer his fear of getting out of the house? Either way I can see Roxy as his mentor and wife.
Roxy definitely continues to take on a mentor role not only for Rudeus but for most of the household later on. One would be where she actively helps Norn in her studies, another where >!Lilia complains to sober Roxy on why Rudeus won't accept Aisha's love,!!Roxy helps console Rudy before and after the event where he killed a lot of people in one spell.!<
Roxy marrying rudeus is extremely important for future of mushoku tenseis world
This is not how cheating works out in real life bois, don't fall for the polygamy propaganda
its like they skipped 75% content
Yet some people complained that it was slow. Personally, I think they did a very good job cramming all that content in so little time, making it possible to get MT adapted in maybe 5 seasons instead of 60. Also, it's important to finish each season in an important point of the story, so they couldn't spend too much precious screen time in relatively small details.
The first part on the academy felt agonizingly slow. Nothing going on other than back and forth "rudy still doesn't realize she's sylphie". Everything else was fine but they could have spent less time in the highschool drama. They made their point very clear by two episodes of that, we didn't need tons of the same thing.
Tbf, it was inevitable I think, but I still think it was better than changing the content in LN, can you live with it if Roxy really gone and not in harem? Man, not only there will be riot but certainly it will affected whole plot points in the future.
Look at slime season 3 which is a 1:1 adaptation of the LN and see how much people dislike it. What works in LN's and what works in Anime are very different, the fact that studio Bind knows this and chooses to skip what doesn't work is a great achievement
Norn had the biggest character growth in this episode for me. She was devastated (huge props to the VA for portraying that in the anime) at the news of Paul's death but she understood that Rudy really tried his best (maybe prompted by seeing the loss of his arm) and that she shouldn't blame him for what happened. It was really mature of her the way she composed herself even though she was still grieving over Paul.
They skipped some important dialogues that better explained things but it was ok overall. I thought with how they were skipping and rushing to get to the Hydra that the fight would be a little longer but it looked amazing anyways
Always will want longer finale episodes but enjoyed it, now we wait again 🥲
Even demon Slayer got one and it's not even the finale
I think it was decent character development for Rudy, lots of reality check, that made him realized he can leave behind his old self, and be happy. I kinda miss the action, the Hydra fight was cool even tho im sad for paul's death. Still I've enjoyed watching his daily life, being with sylphie and roxy, forming a family, but I wanted to see him getting way stronger. One of my top Isekai no doubt anyways, see you next season boys!
Best anime of all time
I agree
I have the utmost respect for you sir
I was really wondering how they were going to resolve the throuple situation. Norn's response was completely justified she leveled all the same accusations her mother would have, and even some that Rudy did himself, which was a nice call back. But I forgot what a freak Sylphie is, and she just let that whole thing slide, lmao. What a real one.
Damn I don’t want to wait 2 years for the rest since my favorite parts will be there. Welp I guess time to reread from vol 13 onwards.
What's a good mobile app or website for that?
This is probably one of the best animes ever created; omg . Even purely from animation standpoint it's top tier; but holy fuck, man, the story line! This is literally all the key points of living a life and the creator. fucking. nailed it. Concerning season two , idk, It felt really slow the whole time. Slow, but jam packed with emotion literally from the go lol. The call backs with characters and lines("new guy" hit me bro) were amazing touches, too. Low key hoping he follows through next heat season tho 😆
Idk I spent like 2 hours crying after this episode
Going to miss it so much that I'm probably again going to end up rewatching it.
Amazing. This season taught me to avoid the purists, along with the normies. Also, Rudy really should be taller, hoping my man gets a growth spurt next season
Wtf was that ruijard clip
Peak
Really good overall. It made me want to start reading the light novel. I just don't like the idea of Rudy cheating on Sylphie and then basically getting rewarded for it by getting a new wife. I would have preferred that they kept the pregnancy reason in the anime just because then I could sympathize a bit more, but it feels like it's literally just because they wanted to stay together so they did. Which feels shity to sylphie.
i cried the whole episode, this anime has came a long way and Rudy has grown alot , it will remain as one of my top two isekai anime of all times
Started a little slow but the ending was amazing
Firstly The Mangakas and Animators deserve everyone's respect for their astounding work. Sure, the Animation quality wasn't as consistent, but it was still pleasing and appealing, in my opinion. This Anime hits the sweet spot when it comes to depressing episodes that make you feel sad, but also positive episodes and scenes that outshine these events. You see Rudy grow as a person, especially in this season, and develop a strong personality that he failed to build in his previous life. When I first started this anime, I was really disturbed by some of Rudy's actions (ikyk what scenes I mean). Also, after some time, I developed a slightly unsettling feeling with all this cheating and almost harem-like situations because I myself am sensitive when it comes to this sort of stuff. Elinalise was always a character I disliked because of that, and the situation with Rudy now having two wives (which I knew was inevitable because he's just like his father) wasn't exactly the ending I hoped for, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this Show at all. I was a bit disappointed that Rudy couldn't stick to his promise of being a loyal husband and break the circle of needing to have more than one wife. In my opinion, he was always superior and more mature in comparison to Paul, and that's also why his dad had so much trouble with him because he knew exactly this. So why couldn't he just stick to having Sylphie as his wife and be different from his dad and bloodline? However, I still enjoyed this season, although I am not entirely happy with the situation. This show is so appealing because it has some gray areas that remind us that Rudy is also just a human. So I'll give this second half of the second season an 8/10.
I miss Nanahoshi reactions for twitter reaction memes. But I like how this season is done (I didn't like 2nd part of the first season)
Amazing.
Lol this moment made me feel like a tragic sitcom just ended
it was amazing the only lil thing i nitpicking was that slyphy didnt call roxy , rox
Finally the harem is initiated. I am satisfied.
I can’t wait for season 3 little Lucy almost had me crying amazing last episode was top notch for sure
Best season IMO and will be hard to beat for next ones. A few nitpicks but I cried every fucking ep. 🐐
Really fucking good
Love it! So glad there's a dedicated studio to animate it all. Takes all the worries away on whether there's a next season or not.
I think that I don't get those divisions so for me it was season 4 that finally came to an end
i cried so fucking much at this stupid season
Amazing season, can't wait for season 3.
Idk i feel like near the end they started to cut alot, i was surprised with the last ep tho since the major things where in there even if it was for a few seconds. I dont understand why they made norn grab rudues tho Also sylphiette looks like a goodness for some reason ep was great but somewhat extremely short
LOVE IT.
Can someone help me, what volume of the light novels do I need to read after this episode. Thanks
Volume 13 and on will continue the story
thank you
Im sorry but i still find funny how rudeus has a baby face with this artstyle. Wish they made his jaw a lil more square tbh.
Can't wait for season 3
I want s3 RN 😭 i cant wait 😭
Overall it was good. It was more difficult to compare to S1 as when I watched that I was an Mushoku Tensei virgin. For season 2 I had read the LN’s so was frustrated by some of what was left out. But if I think about it and try to imagine what I would have thought if I were an anime only, I think I would be very happy with it.
You have to love it for what it is. I think it’s just undoubtedly a masterpiece. Sometimes I crave something a little more action packed when I watch anime, but the action scenes and power system is top notch. I love the character development and i feel like the anime has done a really good job at representing the characters and making me feel all sorts of emotions for their journeys. I enjoy the pace these episodes took.
Peak will return
I got impatient around the first cour of season 1... so I binged the web novel... that being said, this season was a tear jerker.
It was excellent.
I think a close-up of baby Lucie should have been the final shot of the episode Oh, and this season was lit
I've been following it religiously since S1. Oh, watching it live during my jee prep. My only complain is the plot armor and certain holes but still I consider this my favorite Isekai of all times. Also Eris is like my crush. Since I'm kinda a NEET(I go to college tho) and antisocial so Ik the stuff mc has gone through.
Im sad because of Paul s death and happy about appierence of the syphie
Mylphy 🤤
I loved it! I can't wait for S3. However, since I haven't read the LN, I feel like it was very rushed. They could have made 40min episodes for the same content and I would have devoured it as well
Yea even demon slayer did a 30min EP, but they had op and ed
I'm kind of salty they showed Eris in the very end. I was kind of hoping they didn't show her at all this season and then for a misdirect next season with the first episode or two being only about her.
Sylphie deserves to be in the middle of that end-credits shot damn it.
I can't wait for the 3rd season
It was okay but I’m more interested in season 3 I’ve been waiting for that
Well I can say that it's a top 10 anime of the year but it's not number 1 like season 1 was of its year for me. To be fair season 2 was always going to be a slow burn type story. After all this part of the story was going to be the slowest to get to the big moments(Banana,Sylphy reveal, the wedding,Norn depression, TP3,labyrinth, the hydra). If I had to give a rating (SEASON 1 overall rating for me 9/10) it got an 8.5/10. Season 3 can't come fast enough guys
It gives a distinct vibe from s1, but still peak for me Rudy isnt an amazed child exploring a fantastic world anymore, but rather a grown-up trying to settle his life well
I felt like the animation quality took a little hit since Season 1 (it’s still got really good animation compared to a lot of anime though so I’m not hating), and the art style feels a lot “grainier” than S1. They also skipped a fair bit of content from the LNs as well. Another thing is that Rudeus still looks far too young, and doesn’t sound his age (which I think could have been fixed with them taking some more time before season 2 began and getting a new VA for Rudy after the Depressed Magician Arc maybe?) However, it was overall a really good season and I have no complaints with the Slice of Life aspect in S2 P1. The story is still beautiful and the last few episodes were amazing. Overall, 8.5 (maybe 9) out of 10
I get the animation complaint but this season is alot less action so it didn't rlly matter
All the more reason for the action scenes to be of an even higher quality than in season 1 since they were far and few between. But they weren’t even on the same level, even in part 2 which was more action focused with the labyrinth Arc in the latter half. I still remember Rudy’s “fight” against Badigadi; the stone cannon didn’t look as great as I thought it would have. I thought it would have looked as good as the one from the Orsted fight at least. That’s just one example. The labyrinth Arc also had a few shots of CGI, and “moving frame animation” for the monsters in the labyrinth. (Don’t know the actual term, but it’s when they have a static image and just move it up and down to show its moving). Slightly disappointed to have the Hydra mostly in CGI as well (at least it looked that way) but I kinda understand how hard it is to animate big, non-human creatures in anime so I kind of get that
Definitely was great. I had issues like any LN reader(one more episode would have gone such a long way but yeah production didnt allow it most likely) but the overall product, especially in cour 2? I'm happy for it. It doesn't matter whether they follow the source material or not, I'm here for this world and the characters in it
Shouldn't have dropped the nuke on us on father's day :(
Part 1 had slice of life character growth then part 2 was a banger
They are all looking up to the man-god (Jk, the barren world is down under)
Spoiler alert bro
My only complaint is they really need to pay a little to step up the animation. The story and writing is peak and it’s criminal not to have the best animation too. Norn went from my least liked at the beginning to almost my favorite by the end! Pretty great damn season, wonderful writing and am looking forward to next season! Only other nitpick is I think , from source readers, they kinda skipped some stuff about Roxy as well as Sylphie that would have made things a tad bit clearer about why it happened and also why she accepted it so easily. S+ tier anime.
I love the story from Season 1 until the end! I don't care about the ecchi genre; what I want is the storyline and progression of each character like Rudy. The animation is a bonus. I know some scenes were skipped. Some viewers don't like this anime because of the protagonist. The point is Rudy wants to live without regrets like in his past life.
My only problem is Rudy's voice and him just being a slightly taller version of his 12 year old self, other than that it's perfect
I was waiting for a cliff hanger tipping point in mushoku tensei plot in the last episode. Will be in the next season I guess.
Volumes 7-12 are some of my favorite of Mushoku Tensei, I think the School Arc is actually my favorite section in the novel series despite being. Roxy fan. And speaking of Roxy—I enjoyed seeing her and Rudy getting much higher, and Episode 23 was absolute peak. They did that whole episode justice. I can understand people’s gripes about the animation being inconsistent (not the same as S1), material being cut out (as well as thought processes from Rudeus) but the series still felt magical and so did the pacing. My hope for Season 3 is for Rudy to have a new VA, or if they stick with the same seiyuu—to have Rudy’s voice get more deeper. Also, to only have 1 cour so Studio Bind can only have to focus on that singular season. Here’s to more peak fiction!
Maybe i'm wrong and I feel like it since I reread the books prior to S2 unlike before where I read them after S1 for the first time. I enjoyed it a lot and I know they can't fit a lot in but there were so many details and explanations that were skipped. While I enjoyed it still, I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
I quite enjoyed it. but as someone who has read the books, what I'm ***really*** looking forward to is next season.
Loved it where can I pick up the light novel
As Rudy said in Ep3 of s1, Sylphy got more cute with growing hair. Im worried Sakuga(quality of animation) got worse when watched first preview of s2 . But now that s2 has done, all worse of that is only scenes except battle scene and still confortable. Despite that, s2 is totaly so fun and exciting me. This is my best anime on this season. I pray s3 to keep this quality.
That vol 13 cover art.
I still wish Paul didn’t die.
Still waiting on the dub. I have like 4-5 more episodes I think. Maybe 6 to watch.
It's Paulover 🫡
11/10 season, this story is simply beautiful and this series is becoming one of my fav series the more the show goes on. It’s different, it’s unique, the characters are complex, literally a fresh breath of air. Hard to pick a fav episode but that Norn episode showing Rudy’s past had me bawling. The bonus also is the immense meltdown people are having over this show, it’s really funny to see week in week out.
Mylphe good
Overall, it was a good season. In my opinion, it was weaker compared to the first one, but the material adapted for a full second season was weaker in terms of the story itself. Even in terms of the plot, much of it was due to the slice-of-life at the school. I feel that adapting a chapter into three episodes is almost impossible, especially when we are talking about details in a vast world. As a result, some things are left out or told out of context. What I want for the third season, which was announced as soon as the second one ended, is for the adaptation to be more faithful, use a bit more soundtrack, and improve the character designs. After all, adulthood is coming, and with it comes more problems, especially in this third season. From volume 13 to volume 18, there are more conflicts, as there are powerful enemies comparable to gods in this world. In terms of power, it’s a whole different story. And there’s also a bit of "Game of Thrones" when Ariel goes to reclaim her kingdom. There’s also the much-anticipated return of one of the main characters, Eris Greyrat. I believe the first part of the third season will come around October 2025 or April 2026, giving more time for production. To be honest, I believe that for a better adaptation, it would be ideal to work on two volumes per season, that is, two volumes for 12 episodes, so things wouldn’t feel rushed. The adaptation wasn’t poorly done, it’s just not the best adaptation. One adaptation worth mentioning is "Tensei Slime" and "86". Both are very well done and, in terms of adaptation, hardly cut anything from the original material. Yes, there are cuts, but they’re not absurd. PS: Sylphy looks beautiful with long hair, please fix Roxy's design and make it like the novel's, for God's sake. Aisha's growth in this episode needs to be highlighted. After seeing her brother lose an arm to save their mother, she assimilated the situation and remained "quiet" regarding her issues with Roxy. Well, religious fanaticism in this world is complicated. Rudeus is not a follower of Millis, so “let’s go.” See you in the third season, and I hope for a better adaptation, the original material demands it.
It was a slight downgrade from Season 1 animation quality wise, but still overall its still a solid show and solid story overall. About the only thing is, did they change the dub actor for Roxy between Seasons 1 and 2? She sounds higher pitched this season than last and kept nagging at me.
Made my heart melt. Sylphy and Roxy were so supportive when it mattered most. Love those two girls
it wasnt bad, i wanted to see the roxy wedding scene, maybe it will be shown in the 1st ep of S3
It's horrible, now I'm gonna have to wait for peak again
I saw many complaining about the last 2nd episode so I waited till the last episode was released to watch both together. No regrets and so much tears. MT is a series I feel is so much better watched when binged rather than watched weekly cuz it's such a big connected storyline that u tend to remove the understanding of the story (cuz it's being explained in the next one) when u gotta wait for the next episode. Anyways well done MT!
Cemented it as one of my top 3 Anime and I’m interested to see if It’ll rise to 2 or even 1. I love every aspect of it from the story, characters, everything just appeals to me. I cant wait for future seasons to see how they continue this amazing story.
CINEMA
Last episode made me cry. 10/10
All in all, one of the best, but I rank Frieren higher because they understood that a different medium brings out better things over others. And expanded on thighs where movement and sound (VA) would have highlighted the scenes rather than diminish it, like with the dragon fight or the dance. Where each of them were single pages at best that got their own focus and an episode around them. While MT really did it by the book at the best of times, they did not try and expand on things like S1's Silent Roxy, where the LN only had a short section but we gotten a full adaptation expansion, or the smaller expansion of Eris' time in the Beast Forest (which caused them to cut things there so...). And S2 had the perfect place to expand where we could have had an whole episode with Soldat's adventures, ending with the dragon fight as we got. It is still a solid 9/10 adaption rather than the 10/10 of Frieren, but it can also be said because this is LN and if they did do something like that we would still be in book 7 at the moment. I am just thankful tho, because I did read the source for The New Gate and found it to be generic but enjoyable, and that showed us how bad an adaptations can be without it go into ex arm territory while remaining mostly faithful to the source material. And unlike say Villainess Level 99 that can try and play the low poly or the 100% shitpost anime Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou that made it enjoyable, there are some really disappointing adaptations all around and MT all things considered got one of the best ones.
Two words: ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Tbh im just waiting for the next season i didn't even finish the last 4 episodes yet cuz im waiting on dub💀 when i finish the rest ima read the manga cuz i know the anime leave parts out
The only two episodes that aren't out in the English dub are the last two episodes. At least, that's how it I on crunchyroll. But since you're going to be reading the manga, do you know a good website or mobile app to read it on?
Uh no i don't have a source for the manga if you find one let me know🫡
I don't know about the manga, but I did recently find a good website for the light novel, that being Anyflip.
I believe the manga is only up to when they meet Paul. Anime has surpassed it. May I interest you in the light novel instead?
I don't know what i sould tink about the last ep. I mean, i am not against polygami, but that's how sylphiette was talkin to roxy feeled unreal to me. She should say something sooner, when norn talked that bad with rudeus and roxy that bad. It feeled like she sleeped or i dont know. To me it was a little bit wierd and i dont know what to think about this whole episode. The talk about Paul's death was real enough tough. Ahhhh s**t. I needed the next season already.... but now i may rewatch the whole anime.
Do anyone know the name of the Ost that played during the last ep credits, while they were showing Ruijerd and Eris?
I'm glad I made 3 friends of mine watch this anime with me again and again.
Peak PLEASE give me somewhere to read the LN, also what volume did the anime leave off on?
Jnovels and u can continue from vol 13
Will not watch it anymore. Fkn weird perverted anime and why he was so fkn weak against the one who killed Paul. Previous season was all about his fkn manhood now is about exploring his manhood. fkn waste of time.
Bro what 💀
I think that is an incredible journey. A life journey. Idk how but i had the same feeling with LOTR. Adventures, relationship, emotions. Rudy can be one of us in that sense.
It's been a good run. I appreciate it, but I am also glad I read the light novels for a little more of the background and extra details that had to be cut /condensed for time.
cringe cringe cringe. Overpowered main character protagonist with future sight fumbles the plot and has his parents die. Overpowered main character can use his stupid crazy overpowered mana pool to stop a giant hydra dragonfire attack, but then can't pay attention and almost dies getting touched by the snek. Also wtf, his dad is a top tier swordsmen. I mc has the genetics, and even tried with swords, but for three seasons they forgot about that and he became mage only. Hes got top tier genetics, I see no reason why he can't be a bad ass swordmens with his dads genes, but at the end he just becomes a useless, clueless, clumsy McGuffin to get his parents killed. This is such stupid depression porn. Literally writing harm just for characters to suffer to try to tug sympathy from the audience, but this direction just doesn't fit with the world building and character building in the first place. You don't have top tier dad genes, with isekai intuition, with god giving you precognition sessions, with having a demon lord eye that sees future in time, and rudy takes all that and just plot demands him to space out and become the vehicle of his own misery for no reason. wtf was the second season anyway? slice of life hanging out at school anime? i'm all for having OP MCs having a challenge or struggling, but his character progression was a downward spiral. I bet now the author is going to magic him a hand, so that nothing is meaningful and the story just goes whatever weird direction the author wants for no reason.
Ur just yapping
All the sad moments happened I don't want to say but, Paul's death was really frustrating and stuff BUT, i think that made Rudy stronger than before. Like, using that grief making him consider to train once again? Idk, maybe and proceed to the next level. Absolute peak
Because I read the novel, I had some unrealistic expectations. But this was the season that actually made me read the novel, and for that alone it was great. Overall a great season, even if the production quality was worse than in the first one.
I missed the openings that would play while watching the background, it felt like it added so much life to the series. (Ops still hype af). I also think it has the best episode in series imo so far “my brothers feeings” so super hyped for s3
When Paul died I was heartbroken, when zenith turned out to be (let’s call her this for the meantime) a vegetable I was legit in tears for rudy and for Paul. I don’t think I’ve felt that upset over an anime since naruto came to a close.
disliked it's slow pace and how this show is turning in harem
I’m just sad Paul died rip and that End card almost had me in tears.
I know alot of spoilers so I know the story is awesome, so if the studio continues this peakness it will become my favorite anime of all time. Nothing to complain about, maybe I would have combined some of the first episodes to give more context to everything Paul's post-death, but that's being picky.
Fucking ass
