This is how you make a good Isekai

A quick note, both ReZeros and Konosuba’s authors are massive fans of this series. Tappei was also tweeting the entire time the first episode was airing.

The studio who is doing this series, was basically created for it. Its a very new studio, if u go look for it And, my god, their job has been jawdropping

The author of mushoku tensei and rezero are friends. Both series released around the same time and gained popularity along side each other. Mushoku tensei holding the top spot in the light novel rankings for around 5 years

You can't call it Cliche if it's the original 😂

They actually made me get emotional from Roxy leaving.

I think it's funny how this is literally the studios first project, and it already has better animation than 90% of the shows airing right now

I like how the character has past trauma and anxiety he has to overcome and has to battle.

And remember, the whole story is about him growing up, from being born until his death, and that's a good journey.

Yey Grandfather of Isekai :D Took long enough to get an adaptation

YESS YOU'RE DISCUSSING MUSHOKU I just started watching this although I heard there's a way deeper story about its world.

Well considering the fact that it basically laid the ground work for all isekais i would hope that its good...

while others are like wish machines, mushoku tensei is about growth and facing past regrets

I don't like isekai anime like at all, but this show made me wish I never knew about it so I could binge it 🤣

It seems so refreshing in a weird way. Prob the way mc thinks.

The funny thing is that historically, separate rooms is a pretty modern commodity in European house design. In the feudal era, open layouts were the norm and they'd be making his sister with him in the room.

He is powerful and gifted but he is no where near op as you think.And you will see why.🔥🔥

Sugita Tomokazu being the Narrator is just the best part of this series 😍😍😍

The one thing i found most intriguing about the anime is how human every character feels like the unexpecting scene of the parents going at it, they gave off human nature i haven't really seen in anime except for a few

One thing I really liked about the show is that it does not remove all the flaws in Rudy's character from his past. The show still treats him as the same adult just in child's body, with the same character flaws and outlook on women. It might be somewhat uncomfortable to watch a child behaving as such, but it allows a path for the character to grow with time and experience in to a better person. One clear example of this was how Rudy's view of Roxy changed from Episode 1 to 2. He initially only saw her as a source of sexual gratification, but by the time she left, he developed a new found respect and genuine gratefulness for her. I hope the show keeps doing that ahead.

Just to let everyone know that this is the god Father of Isekai, all the tropes were because of this, even still, the story and writing still surpasses many newer isekais, now you can imagine how good this is.

You know there passionate when the op hasn’t even played yet in the anime

The moment I've herd Gintoki's VA doing the narration I knew this was going to be special.

I liked how the MC was normal to his parents goin crazy in their room, and thinking "I will get a sister probably" 😂

Finally! I was waiting for this review! The animation is amazing. It’s crazy to think that this is the studio’s first work.. anyway, much love from Japan! ✨

It's a shame that people are just brushing it off as another isekai, when in reality it was this show's original source was the one of the first that laid the foundation for isekai and did it better than 95 percent of it's successors. I'm so happy that it's wonderfully adapted

This is basically just the prologue of Mushuku Tensei and it will just keep getting better and better.

There was more sex and ecchi moments in Mushoku's first episode than Kaifuku's first episode... kek.

And I thought MC from By the grace of gods had a tough life but this kids .... fecking heck getting tied to a gate like that and stripped bare

So... let me do this..... Roxy was 34 years old when Rudeus was born. It's free real estate FBI these doors will not be breached today.

Yeeeeesssssss!!!!! As a fan of the light novels Im so happy to see that the show is getting such a warm reception.

Just casually reading a book while mom and dad get it on in the other room What a chad!

"If its the grandfather of ISekai, why hasn't anybody adapt it?" some of you may wonder? because its too daunting of a series to adapt. The series spanned over 20+ volumes and cover the life of Rudeus from 0 to over 25+ years old, there's many different arcs that relates to each other, if anyone want to adapt this properly. it has to go with like, 4,5 seasons with over 75+ episodes, yes its as long as what shonen series wants, but each and every episode of it is filled to the brim with content and purpose, theres no filler at all, so there's really no cutting corner on any of them Thats why a new studio taking this task is both a good and a bad thing, one nobody knows how they'd actually be, but also 1st outing of a new studio is exactly where they'd put their utmost effort in, so yeah. I'm looking forward to it.

Hogwarts arc: Rudeus Potter the boy who nuked....

It's good to see the series that started this wonderful legacy. So much drama made from it, so much relief. Its so good to see Truck-Kun in his very first role. The *impact* he has is great.

Glad you like it. Was afraid it would be overlooked.

As someone who finished reading the novel of this from Volume 1 to Volume 24 a few years ago, it gives me a nostalgic feeling of how good this story is. I loved every moment of me reading this story and seeing this having an anime after 5 years when the series ended, I'm not gonna say anything but I'm truly happy for this to have an adaptation.

I'm glad Chibi came up in my recommendations. I feel like it's been too long since I've seen one of his videos.

Great reccomendation here. This is QUALITY. Im talking the most pleasurable experience I've had with a new anime an a long while. Thanks.

This is an example of an Isekai that’s done right/well, not perfect but done ina way that doesn’t feel like other isekai? It’s like it’s not using the usual RPG things in it, example, skill points, a level system, it’s like life, you have to work hard and gain experience to progress, it honestly feels like a different world and like Chibi said, it’s nice seeing something different

I'm sooooooSOOOOO happy you did a video on this. I checked out the first episode and man do I FUCKING love it. Wonderful wonderul start too this series. Can't wait too watch more.

Finally thank you chibi please keep on reviewing it

the mcs voice actor makes it even good cuz its tomokazu sugita gintokis va lol

The reason it isn't anything new because it's the light novel that popularized all the stuff we consider cliche in isekai. This light novel laid the groundwork for most isekai that came after it.

this is the series that was so good that it made me start reading light novels. i read the manga for this like 2 years ago and was cliff hanged so badly that it made me think of this series for weeks on end and just settled to just wait for the manga. but since it was quarantine I decided why not try reading the light novel, and i did i was so hooked in the story that i stayed up 24 hrs just reading it I probably stayed up for a lot longer but, I forgot the concept of time while i was reading it, it was like the sacred text of the holy church for me. That 1st day of reading was pure bliss even if it was my 1st time reading a light novel I was so engrossed and so passionate about reading it and then i spent the over 2 months reading it and trying to hold myself back to not finish it so quickly. It was like getting lost in another world and i enjoyed every single word, sentence, chapter, and volume of it. tldr: Just a passionate mumbling of an addicted reader. :)

I think the thing with Main characters that are OP is that authors often don't understand it's only a tool for writing (being op) it's not the entire plot, you can definitely make a great op character as long as you know that the OP of the character is just it, a trait, not the whole story. and the best authors that do understand this, can definitely make something amazing

so this is where truck-kun started it's career

this series makes you cry and angry as much as it makes you laugh, its easily one of the best

Yeah I am excited to see the off-grid scenes in the hub soon

I have been praying to the gods you review this series like I’ve never craved a isekai like this before it’s soo raw😍

I guess you can say Roxy had a touching moment 😬👌🏻😂

I've read most of the WN (I'm on vol 20 of 25) and I can safely say it is a very good series. Especially the start of his adult arc (teenage arc is good too).

Prob you won't see this but reading this story really is my number one. When I read it I wondered how they were going to anime it. As the biggest part of the story is the inner monologue like it 3/4th the story. Is held in the details. Once the anime is over I'd 100% recommend reading it from the start.

I had no idea you were gonna review this because it could look like the average power trope isekai but TRUST ME this series only keeps giving and giving and my favorite part is you get to watch Rudy become the OP MC

For anyone interested: This is an OG isekai, which birthed the Truck-kun trope and meme.

love it for not knowing what it was and just going in. I Want more.

I agree, this anime hits differently without a thought!!!🎉🎉🎉

This anime is absolutely amazing so far hopefully it continues on the right path and gets the attention it deserves

It's got gintokis Voice acter Need I say more

Overlord started the OP from the beginning trend. Mushing Tensei started truck-kun trend.

God, please stay away from reading spoilers anywhere Chibi. This series is so fantastically good that you should keep yourself COMPLETELY blind for the anime. I’d even say it’s worth waiting for the second series without reading the light novel because so far they’ve adapted it so, so perfectly!

The animation is some of the best I have seen lately...and the characters are VERY well written. You already have an attachment to them after just a couple episodes...and that's no small feat! The author is also very good at showing just how mindblowing learning magic is...I don't think I have seen a better introduction to magic! (Ascendance of a Bookworm was pretty good at it too, with a much slower burn to reveal magic in the new world) I look forward to watching future episodes, and even signed up for a Funimation subscription to watch this specific anime. Cant wait for more!

When he said “I like issekai trash”, in my head I said “ I can relate”.

Yea it's pretty good it's a rare isekai done right

8:57 DUDE, YOU NEED TO SEE THAT SERIES NOW! Its WAY too good for what I was expecting it to be, I could even call it a classic of isekai because of how well written it is (ok, maybe Im exaggerating a bit, but its seriously good!)

I am sooo glad someone is going over this anime. Its starting out strong and fantastic.

AniNews has been hyping this series for the entire 2020

Been saying this for years... i will never understand why they adapted all the less interesting ones before adapting this. Like i love Isekai Smartphone as a novel, it's super fun... but it isn't exactly great writing. Mushoku has great characters, from the MC all the way to the minor side characters. I feel that people who get super upset at Rudy being a bit ecchi are really missing out, but that's on them i guess.

Jobless Reincarnation will be one of the best Isekai Anime's 😘😘😘 And i am glad that Studio Bind is doing it in 2-cour Love your content Chibi

Yess glad u reacted to it!!!!!

They finally made 'The Beginning After the End' an anime sweet..

Spoiler concerning Roxy's age: She's almost 40 years old during Rudi's 5th birthday (she just ages differently because she's from a certain demon tribe)

Chibi actually reviewed this Thanks so much❤️

If u think about it, truck and bus drivers are the real heroes. Sending the protagonists to the worlds filled with harems and op abilities

The origin of Isekai, the greatest of them all

Chibi: is there gonna be a demon lord Mushoku tensei: well how about a human god instead

Saw it two weeks ago and really really enjoyed it

Definitely on top of my fav LN I've read and I have read tons of isekai LN. The story is very captivating from start to the end. This also have a satisfying ending that is quite rare in my opinion. Really looking forward how far they are going with this because the series is LONG.

I forgot that I read this long ago. It’s a really great series.

Amazing world building, great plot, not just "oH iM a MaIN cHArCteR iM StUPiDly sTRoNg fOR nO ReaSOn", actual proper romance, great drama, etc. Just watch it, i just hope they dont make the anime bad, they better make it as good as the manga.

I fully agree it's taking all my willpower to wait till the season ends

I just watched it this morning. It's beautiful, it's refreshing and the animation is amazing. In fact, the animation is far better than most of the shows that came out. Looks very promising and will be waiting for more episodes to come out.

"There is nothing new" There a reason for that, the Light novel it's based isn't just old it basically Ground Zero for modern Isekai, it not just have Truck-kun it why other Isekai have Truck-kun etc

Well wasn't Jobless Reincarnation the original Isekai?

Hmmm, this looks interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for this one

yeah, it's awesome, I can't wait for the next episode

Roxy Religion anyone?

the manga is something else in a strange way.

Just wait, this gets really good as you keep going

3rd episode just came out, Chibi!

Re:zero web novel came 6 month before mushoku tensei stop saying this anime is the grandfather of isekai This comment for those who think like that

Finally someone is talking about this anime. Thank you vey much!!!!

If you liked this, you really should give Bookworm a shot. I loved the slow burn worldbuilding in that series.

Just started this show and I'm already hooked. I hope you get to review all of the episodes this season

Finally some praise for this amazing series!

Just gonna say this here. Kumo desu ga (The spider reincarnation) and Mushoku Tensei are two of my all time favorite isekais. Mushoku Tensei being the second WN I ever read.

This is the grandfather of Isekai and the source material is amazing and deals with a lot of heavier stuff later on

thank you for the tip for this anime, it was really good. the first two episodes

Love this anime , it blew my expectations way out of the water...the animation is gorgeous, story seems great so far, and I love the way they didn’t stray away from the echi/adult themes but didn’t do it in a cheap way to get views and counts just on that. They did it in a refined way. I’m looking forward to where this goes and the academy.
