My roommate watched the first episode or two with me, back when the series first aired, and immediately went from enthusiastically hype to utterly indifferent. I made the mistake of letting his feelings dictate my own, and only got around to watching the show in the week before Halloween, while I was watching my aunt's dogs. I ended up devouring the whole show, OVAs and all, in less than two days. Now, it's back on our to-watch list, right after Ya Boy Kongming.

> The way he learned how to move on By sleeping around with more women and then marrying all of them. Including the one he moved on from. Really mature.

​@@ThatAnimeSnob Erectile dysfunction = Sleeping around, got it. You should make another video ignorantly hating on MT, I bet there is still a market for it.

MT haters are just totally lost on this. I have had so many discussions with them and they simply refuse to understand ANYTHING. I'll just list (some of) their nonsense here: - "MT is wish-fulfillment" --> having ED for years(!) is not wishfulfillment - "MT is a self-insert" (made mostly in season 1) --> the vast majority of the people who watch/like MT are not s*xual pr*d*tors....claiming this is insane. The thing that the haters don't understand when it come to empathy, is that people can see PART (!!!) of themselves in other people and understand them from that kind of angle. You don't have to be exactly like or even remotely similar to a person, to see some aspect of yourself in them. - "It's all about the fanservice" - --> almost every controversial scene in MT has a narrative purpose. There is almost no scene/event, that doesn't have a realistic response to it or builds up characters' relationships in some way. - "MT is degenerate" ---> What's the difference to the billion other shows, coming out every year, that are equally degenerate? - "Season 2 is boring" ---> Don't worry. You'll get plenty of action in this story. Getting bored by a slower part of the story is . only a sign, that you are an impatient child. 😝 P.S.: Season 3 will cement MT as the best isekai of all time! Mark my words!

@@petermuller9480 Straight facts! I dislike when Rudeus acts the way he did in the beginning of season 1 but that didn't make me not being able to relate to him or empathize with him in a lot of other scenes throughout the entire 2 seasons. Thanks!

For real bro. Rudeus’ talk about family was seriously some of the greatest things I’ve read

oh give it time Im sure he will make another video after cour 2.

@@ledonkly Family -> sleep around, marry all of them

​@@ThatAnimeSnobHe's talking about his parents and in case you're wondering, he didn't sleep with them.

It did for me too

@Butter_Warrior99 What does it want to be? Don't say a redemption story.

@@ThatAnimeSnob it's not a redemption. He doesn't need to. It's a person who was very young and due trauma couldn't experience shit. His second opportunity it's just an encouragement for us, to try despite of the harsher times. And that's something that happens all the time inside mushoku tensei. It has more value than some haters want to look at

​​​@@ThatAnimeSnob it's what it's supposed to be. A second chance at life. As most realistic and human like as it can get character wise. He was a victim and a scum in his last life and while reborn he maintained those characteristics while slowly maturing and growing up. Learning both the joys of life as well as it's hardships, something he didn't do in his first life since he was a shut in being taken care by others. It's not about redemption. It's about him fighting with himself to not make his 2nd chance at life turn like his original one. The world building and characters progressions ( all, not just the MC) are really good throughout the series

mushoku tensei is a novel and it got so popular its the grandfather of isekai and father of modern isekai ı reccomend reading it because its was a great experience adn its my favorite isekai it has a realy good plot twists and a good story telling (if you want to read star from the voluem 11 ) (its from the rudeus perspective so dont be suprize) ( sorry for my bad english)

I would say it’s more of a matter of ‘authenticity’ over ‘naturality’. It’s a very profound telling of a guy’s serious take on (re)living, in general. Without downplaying and with confidence from the author.

What is mature about moving on from a relationship by sleeping around and then marrying all of them, including the first one? From what did he move on?

@@ThatAnimeSnob firstly, thank you for the spoilers, secondly I said the topic is mature, not Rudy's approach to it. The sexual life of people is important to that person's development and impacts their other relationships and not many anime chose to approach these themes.

SubaHibi first came to mind. A real life changer VN right there.

Also wanted to say another good example of trauma of season 2 was the shear fucking terror rudy has when seeing Nanahoshi was intense and absolutely heart wrenching to watch

Volume 13 should be a taboo as well xd

No cover should be viewed tbh!!

Konosuba and Space Jam also exist but I do like this one.

He is not even getting married once. He marries three times, including his first break up, so he never really got over it.

@@ThatAnimeSnob Why are you spoiling and what does this comment even mean? Why do you think he hasn't gotten over it? If you've read the novels, then you know how he feels towards Eris and Sara.

@@jpstahl2939 Just pointing out the mistake in the video

@@ThatAnimeSnob It's not a mistake for anime onlys. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were the Grinch.

@@ThatAnimeSnobNot cool man.

Twelve Kingdoms is the best isekai till date.

​@@LightningStrike1212think these kind of new gen fan will watch it? Personally i already recommended lot of them to watch 12 Kingdom and Escaflowne,yet they doesn't even want to watch it.

You wish we could all sleep around with several people, some of which are our relatives? I have news for you, Islam is all about that.

​@@ThatAnimeSnobI heard Islam only allowed them to marry 4 wife's max,so sleeping around(without marrying)with anybody is forbidden in their religion

@@Zero_Testercorrect, not to mention each wife must get the same treatment and privileges as each other.

Whenever I make Mushoku Tensei videos I always find FF9 ost goes so perfect with them lol

You and your mate’s said it! The quality is up there with dem cultural bigshots.

@Hepheat75 So you are writing about a p3d0 who f*s his relatives and married a dozen times?

​​@@daniellin1726no,it not even close or good in term of quality story,writing,theme,and character, to be considered a gem or bigshot like the other such as Ashita No Joe Memories OVA Akira Perfect Blue FMA and FMAB Alita Eden It An Endless World

​@@Zero_Tester L take.

​@@deadboy9955he does this in almost every comment like he'a some bot

When you finish and publish it, share your novel here :)

Oh boy believe me, I think it'll be a lot better. Some pretty neat stuff to develop

You are indeed correct. Now you need to bring the fact to mind, that there are people who have watched ALL of the currently available episodes of MT, but they still tell themselves, that it's just "a story about an incel getting transported to another world to live out his s*xual fantasies". After having seen the ED arc, mind you! With great sadness, I have to observe that a significant part of people are just wholly media-illiterate.

If the anime keeps up at the pace it is going, season 3 is gonna be great. Books 14 and 15 were my favorite. And turning point 4 was amazing too, that subtle foreshadowing before things went down was great. It was all so ominous.

@@HughvanZyl absolutely it's gonna be awesome!

There's an episode of It's Always Sunny called Frank's Pretty Woman that features a character named Roxy. I kinda want something similar to that.

Your comment literally screams, "I've only watched season 1".

​@@petermuller9480i have watched some of S2 episode(most younger people might find MT story mature,but stuff like this only scatched the surface level of the problem, And have you even give 12 Kingdom(novel) or even Escaflowne a chance?

MT has 26 volumes. The anime is in volume 9 now. Most of the big things haven't even happened in the story, yet. Children nowadays just don't have patience anymore and draw conclusions on a story way too early....this includes you. I have "only" read the synopses of Escaflowne and 12 Kingdom (though, that means I probably know a lot more about it than you know about MT). Frankly, I'm not impressed by them. You'll see why so many people call MT genius in the finale of season 2, but AT THE LATEST in cour 1 of season 3, when the narrative payoffs REALLY start coming in.@@Zero_Tester

@@petermuller9480i get the same feeling like you,frankly im not impressed with MT from the start,tried to get over S2 last time,and the story still isn't clicked for me(and i didn't only give it chance unlike lot of fan that only read synopsis) you know if you have the patience to read and think something like MT a genius works and doesn't only read synopsis,you might get better payoff reading 12 Kingdom and get the point why lot of older fan praising it for it story,great worldbuilding,characters itself Difference in light novels,12 Kingdom mc not the only protagonist. The LNs have different lead character for in each books. And in anime though, the main character is used as a framing story for the books that's been adapted into short anime series. If you ever want to learn or understand why it was better than MT,and try to watch it, and you are unaware of that, the anime may seem like the key story is being sidelined by these "side" stories. While the main character is the primary protagonist of the entire series, it's not to the degree of the anime,the other characters also got more spotlight at certain part. This difference makes the official entries in the series feel more like side stories in the adaptation. Hopefully, being aware of this will make the changes in pacing less bothersome, if you happen to be one of those people who might be bothered by it when you try to watch it and read them.

You know what, I actually wanted to write a longer comment here, but it just isn't worth it. If you fail to see Rudy's character developement and and fail to understand, why Muten Roshi's behaviour is just comic relief, whereas Rudy's is not; then I can only diagnose you with media illiteracy. But don't worry, you are not alone. That is a common illness with Twitter users and MT-haters. P.S. 12 Kingdoms is overrated and Escaflowne is VERY overrated. @@Zero_Tester

Every boy and girl needs a Sylphiette. And maybe Rem when she wakes up.

like the labyrinth arc .....

And why does he not say anything about said romance being based on grooming and polygamy, or how to get over one relationship is to start another with a girl you already were into.

At this point, your being willfully ignorant of the plot, just drop the show if you can't handle basic nuance.

​​@@childcannibalism5080what nuance is there to this braindead series?

@@colewintringham5609 If you've actually watched the series with the slightest use of a singular neuron, maybe, you'll find it. Go watch Demon Slayer.

@@colewintringham5609 you are the nuance since you are the braindead

@@colewintringham5609 The inability to see nuance doesn't show the show lacks it, you may just be dumb. Again, if your being willfully ignorant of the nuance, or are unable to see it, just drop the show. Respectfully, just watch demon slayer.

they did show eris's pov, but only in the light novel

@@pivecc yh I was speaking about the anime adaption but it wasn't very clear.

shhhh...

If you take og hair into account, he actually collected all three starter pokemon. :3

stfu, you guys aren't slick. Why do you feel the need to spoilerbait like this, it's so obnoxious.

Honestly, nowadays is kinda a great time for such topics to began. Young people choosing not to marry or have kids, gender-fluidity, queer and the rise of non-conventional companionship is something that will sway the near future. People being together, romantic or otherwise in life, need not adhere to the traditional family unit anymore. This is as much as a shift in perspective as with gay-marriage. Remember, a part of marriage is for legality needs and for easier management of family units (for the government). That being said, there are very sensible reasons for avoiding polygamy (that are not bigotry), for the times, culture and class of people. For some, monogamy and marriage is simply enjoying the convenience of the accepted standard, rather than a conscious evaluation of union.

I say those people need a reality/history check, most teens around the world have their first sexual experience in their teen years (hell I got my first sexfriend when I was 13) and this was much more common in a middle age setting like Mushoku is, specially with marriage engagements.. so many woketards trying expecting modern western-world morals into a medieval fantasy stories, smh

and because the story is going through his life, it has to appear at the start of it.

So you find it mature because he has sex with multiple women, but the woman only do it with him?

Harems are lazy writing.

You're forgetting Roxy, if Man God didn't interfere he would have gone to the Labyrinth city, met Roxy, and got cured that way.

Polygamy is normal in that world and if you didn't even read the series, just shut up.

@@All-about-reading That is not the issue. It's how he doesn't really "get over it" as the video implies. He doesn't start another relationship, he just has more than one, so it was never about moving on.

​@@ThatAnimeSnobhahaha poor crybaby, he can't understand a simple great novel

@@lugoilustrations2306 Really mature reply, I understand why I was wrong now. Oh, wait, I don't, you said nothing to defend your position while I did. I win.

@@ThatAnimeSnob Why would I argue if you can't understand it anyway?

Yikes.

@@daniellin1726 I just can't do it man. I just can't get into One Piece or Hunter x Hunter. When does it get good? How many hundreds of thousands of episodes do I have to watch?

One piece is good pretty much from the start. HxH from partway into the hunter exams. Both have even better arcs later in the story, but if you don't enjoy them you probably won't drastically change your opinion later on.

@@BrickDaniels-qu7bz Don’ need to get into the thousands. It should be good from the start and goes downhill ‘bout 600 ep in. But same as above, if you don’t enjoy it from the start, there’s no need to continue. If you really need to just to pay witness to monuments of manga and anime, an analysis will catch you up to speed on why they are milestones.

@@daniellin1726 That's a fine idea.

It’s a very English saying….so European would be a possibility

(Pardon me i suddenly got the urge to rewatch this video and comment section) What do you expect,these is the same kind of fan that think trashy wish fullfillment fantasy like Mushoku Tensei is way better than anime, manga like Ashita No Joe,12 Kingdom and other i mentioned in this channel,
