About sex scene with Eris. She did it not because it was their last time seeing each other. At the time of her having sex she didnt even know she would go away from rudeus. It was sex out of fear of becoming alone, out of fear that rudeus will leave her after he fulfilled his promise to her. She did it to bind him to herself with a spell named "family". She knew he liked her, but she knew either of them wasnt ready for it. She wasnt strong enough to shoulder all of her fears and complexes and so she put it all on rudeus, boy that (at lest to her knowledge) was 2 years younger that was already morally exausted from having to make all hard desidions. Thats why that when she looks at him after the scene was over and sees that his hand is even smaller than hers she understands what actually she had done to him. And being so disgusted with herself she desides that at the very least she must become someone that can be on the same level as him, her inner strengh level must reach the level of her love toward rudeus or she would just become his shackeles. It's one of the strongest romantic writing in anime i've ever watched. I still have tears in my eyes every time i hear opening or second ending. This show was increadible. I dont know about others but i have very strong feelings about LN story in general and Eris in particular.

Rifujin-san put his own experiences of redemption and used his mother's undying love as underpinning the redemption message in Mushoku Tensei - terribly flawed characters either seeing the light, having a change of heart, or learning a lesson either through others' actions, or more along his own experience, their own actions.

Love this story. Kinda grew tired with the generalized themes and generic approaches that anime stories have. Give me more stories about a bastard husband cheating on their wife but finding a way to be a good father, or about outcast family members running away from their previous life but missing the people that cared for her, or someone whose entire life consisted of running away from their own problems but trying to solve the problems for other people in their new life. I like anime because I love animation but don't like how western animation treats its viewers only as children. This is exactly the kind of story that I want to see from anime, completely adult in its topics and unashamedly presenting its nuances.

The one thing I really about mushoku tensei more specifically the bravery of Rifujin no magonote-sensei (author) is that he never fears to show the realistically ugly side of the characters,which most authors will never ever do because of the fear of Backlash from people

Most mature part of this show to me is: Rudy starts out having locked himself in a room for 20+ years... His family, loved ones, friends all couldn't make a chip in the walls he had erected. His parents even died and he didn't leave that room. The only time he left that room was when he was kicked out by violent force. He was then reborn into another world entirely and through his ptsd flashbacks that we saw for only split seconds at a time... still caused him enough pain and fear that he locked himself away refusing to leave the yard of his new home. It would take Roxy strongly guiding him for him to take his first real step into this new world. (there is a but) BUT! This wasn't Rudy's choice... He was still removed from the yard by someone elses will. (To put this simply... he hadn't broken his chains... someone else had just loosened them a bit for him. You can see this throughout the demon continent journey. Every time he would get down he would seclude himself... when he got his eye poked out... or when his dad punched him in the mouth for talking smack. He always finds a room and locks him self in it. Showing us that the chains still bound him) When Eris hit him with the old "SKEET and skedaddle"... the old "Dine and dash"... the ole... "FELONY HIT AND RUN!" He locked him self in his tent. And only after some DEEP introspective and self reflection did he muster up the strength to break the chains himself... Step out into the world under his own power, not being forced or dragged along by someone else... People watch this anime and think that Rudy died when Truck kun blasted his behind, And started living when Roxy took him outside.... Heck. I thought that too till the last episode. Then it all hit me. Rudeus died when he was beaten and hung in front of his school. And was only, truly reborn when he stepped out of that tent. That's when he ACTUALLY started living again.

One thing which I love in MT is the scene in the finale where Rudeus gets the strength to move forward because of his mother. That was a masterful way of showcasing the growth of the character- by showing how he interacted with his parents on both the earth and this new world. His parents were loving and supportive in both worlds, but where the old Rudeus skips his parents' funeral to fap to porn, the new Rudeus is able to break his depressive fall with the thought of his mother's love. A great way to show how he has now grown enough to truly care for his parents.

I think one of the most entertaining aspects of Mushoku Tensei when I was reading the novels in high school has always been just how much Rudeus just seems to fit into the world. He likes to talk about how he died when he was 34, but in reality he barely ever matured or progressed forward in his life at the age of 14. He never got to shed his childish and immature aspects of himself, so while we know he's been reincarnated, everyone else still sees him as very much childish. A smart kid, to be sure, but it's all book smarts. He doesn't know the first thing about working with others, or trying to be considerate and making responsible choices. So everyone sees him as such. Rifujin puts so much effort into having dialogue from different POVs describing how they see Rudeus. And in the end you realize just how much he really is changing after all these years learning from the people around him. People like to say he barely changed because he's still perverted, and I honestly cannot agree. They miss the forest for the trees, hyperfixated on one negative aspect that he admittedly does not work on often. Meanwhile, after coming to this world, he has learned: -the value of family, loving Paul, Zenith, and Lilia like a kid would love their parents -the importance of independence and growing through your own hard work. He has to practice nonstop to improve his mana capacity, and he learns firsthand from Paul that he would have effectively been grooming Sylphy if they hadn't been separated. In the novels Paul even mentions the corrupt nobility of Asura and how they would do this with their concubines, and how it was a major reason why he abandoned his lineage. -overcame his fear of the outdoors and interacting with others, learning to stand up for himself and what he thought was right -regained his desire to learn about cultures instead of shutting himself away all day, studying at Roa in Eris's manor -stops creeping on kids after forcing himself on Eris and scaring her. he still remains a pervert, but this moment is a crucial part for him because he realizes just how important it is to not force himself onto people who are not mentally prepared -meets Ruijerd and reexamines his personal biases, overcoming prejudice that was instilled in him at a young age -realizes the importance of being honest with your friends - trying to do everything on his own got a Demon adolescent killed, something which Ruijerd roasts him for nonstop. It also teaches him the value of life, and that the world is not a game he can try to minmax for perfect results -at the end, finally reflects on familial love and how much he took his first mother's love for him for granted, choosing to atone for that by doing whatever he can to find his new mother. He changes *so much*. But people just go "wow he's a pervert, shit character!"

I'd like to imagine that MT's concept is evergreen. I believe even if Rifujin is not the person who wrote it, it will eventually exist (or had existed!?). The story is "self-contained" and presented its content without the need for prior knowledge or common sense. In fact, I would argue that MT is best enjoyed not only by suspension of disbelief but also suspension of perspectives and common senses (A.K.A. Just follow and empathize with Rudy). It challenges existing common senses not through subversion, but through replay and reevaluation. For example, while Paul's act of cheating was as expected, the action is never justified or redeemed (in fact, it carried further nuances than just Paul being lustful). Instead, the act is simply a contribution to Paul's characterization: this is who Paul is, yet not who Paul only is. Anything introduced later on and in MT's side stories simply adds to this characterization, perhaps with contextualization, but never redemption. MT commonly teases its readers with sensitive scenarios that often warrants kneejerk responses, yet trains us to be patient and think: taking time to consider things in an unbiased, holistic matter while seeking empathy with all parties involved. Rudy demonstrates this ability frequently and fails at it frequently. This is what I believe is the type of maturity MT tries to show us: To avoid kneejerk responses. To avoid forming a rigid perspective. To think rationally, even if you hate to or willfully don't want to. To have empathy. To tolerate. Yet: Be free and serious. Be malleable and strict. Be emotional and pragmatic with moderation.

On the topic of maturity. I think you need some level of actual maturity to even be able to watch Mushoku Tensei. From how I've seen people overly react to Rudy as a character it feels like the ones who hate him so vocally lack maturity to be able to see the big picture of the series and character. The show touches upon so many mature themes and addresses them in mature ways I dont think you can watch this without some maturity and get some of the bigger picture and messages being delivered in the series.

Dude, seeing Rudeus maintain his composure during all the show, but can't holding on the cry in final episode just show how much impact that did

I love the way the animators actually slowly giving them growth in their design/body each episode. Not many anime has that which makes me love this anime even more

Such a fantastic video. I really wish people would look beneath the surface with Mushoku Tensei more because it shows you what happens rather than telling you what is right/wrong why/how like so many other anime do. I really appreciate it when someone puts out a review like this. I watched your reaction to each episode and you (and probably chibi) have always had the most mature and well thought out reactions to these episodes. Mushoku Tensei takes some thinking and not everybody goes into it expecting that with it being an isekai and all. Mushoku Tensei is my favorite series because it tackles its characters, growing as a person, and life in general in such a way that I have never seen any other novel or piece of literature do ever. The struggles of Rudeus feeling like he has made no progress even though he really has hits super hard for me. The struggles of Roxy feeling uncomfortable where she grew up hit me really hard. Each character just strikes home in some way or another. Really, thank you for helping my Mushoku Tensei withdrawals with your awesome videos on it.

What actually surprised me the most when I first watched the show was how casually they portrayed sex. Not in an overdramatic way where even Kissing is seen as something amazing, but in a way as it should be. Just sex. I was astonished at how often the media presents the topic as something holy or as you could call it "the home base". But it's only a way to express yourself to someone you absolutely love. Or in Elinalisa's a pastime xd. But it's just awesome to see an anime, made by Japanese people, take this mature approach to the whole subject. That just creates a much more realistic representative then your typical slice of life/highschool romcom. So yeah, that's what I find very mature about this series, it's approach to certain topics. Where a bunch of teenagers would scream about, young adolescents wouldn't. And that's why I find Mushoku Tensei one of the most mature anime I've seen till this day!

Reading Eris' perspective at the end of Light Novel 6 on why she decided to leave gives so much context and depth to her character. I didnt mind how the anime did it in ep 22 but i feel like you missed out if you didnt read that chapter.

Not only is this show mature, but maturity is basically the main theme of MT. This whole story is full of immature characters growing and ultimately developing into better people. Rudeus, a perverted social outcast takes responsibility of his own actions, then for another person and ultimately leads his entire family. Paul, despite already being a family father and highly skilled swordfighter still has his immature features which almost broke his relationship with Rudeus forever. Roxy, being hopelessly childish despite being one of the most powerful mages in her 40s because she never had a proper childhood and was forced to become an adventurer at a very young age. Silphy, being bullied without any agency to stand up for herself, being saved by Rudeus, shown a path to self-confidence and ultimately evolving into a competent and highly trained person (although that will be part of S2). And I don't even know where to start with Eris, for sure the most complex character of the show who also matures the most. Her immaturity is her deep insecurity, always being an outcast and not fitting in and then being left behind by Rudeus both metaphorically and literally. And then when she gained power and felt good and competent, the person she admires the most almost got killed while she could not do anything but watch, utterly powerless. But them losing against Orsted or Rudeus almost dying wasn't the thing that broke her. It was Rudeus being so calm about it, even practising "Disturb Magic" in case he has another confrontation with Orsted. While she could not even have a proper exchange with Orsted, he nonchalantly practices in case they meet again. That's the moment that ultimately broke her and lead to her decision of leaving his side to train as well.

Another thing that the last few episodes (particularly the aftermath of the Eris scene) beautifully portrays is something that I think a lot of people miss on first watch. Rudeus is a scumbag, we all know this. But he views himself as worse than he actually is, and completely opposite to how those around him view him. Yes Eris idolizes him, but nearly every character Rudeus interacts with grows to respect him because of the things he does. But Rudeus is utterly convinced that his accomplishments are not his own because of his reincarnation and the man god's advices. He believes he can only do the things he does because of some advantages he has that he keeps secret, but fails to understand that he still CHOOSES to put work in towards these favorable outcomes. He chastises himself for the aweful things he's done, and for the mistakes he continues to make, but does not allow himself to see that he has helped a lot of people. This impostor syndrome (don't quote me. not a psychologist) is ultimately the biggest contributor to the misunderstanding that happens from Eris's parting, and I absolutely love it. It's a completely believable and in character reaction for him, even though it's a trope that is normally thrown in just to sow unnecessary drama.

As someone who has read the LN and since the series is based on that right now, I can say that this series is the best Isekai I have seen. It reminds me of the fantasy genre like Lord of the Ring or the Hobbit. The main character is flawed and those around him are also flawed. Rudy is like Bilbo and Frodo wants nothing more than to stay in their towns but gets drawn into an adventure. Rudy gets sent away by his father to separate Sylphette and him. In a sense, he is thrusted into an adventure. He learned multiple languages and sword skills. These stories have struggles and the same with Mushoku Tensei. I also was disappointed the Mushoku Tensei was snubbed by the CR and other Anime awards. Thumbs up to REDDIT Anime awards and allowing the fans to vote overwhelmingly for the series in most of the categories.

Very good video. Perfectly on point analysis of the Eris-Rudeus relationship and I couldn't advise you enough about looking for the lyrics of the first ending song of the anime, you'll have more info about how she really feels. Sadly you got into the usual trope of simplifying our (at least for the LN/WN community) dear mature elf : Elinalise. Elinalise is one very complex and interesting character in the entire story. Not only showing her in a gangbang IS essential to begin to set up the character for the audience, but it also foreshadows a more complex situation she's locked in. I hope people will stop categorizing characters at a glance because in this series, particularly, it's just a fallacious thing to do. Nothing and I insist, NOTHING in all Mushoku Tensei story is there for nothing. Every little bit of detail you could have in S1 of the anime is something that will have great importance or significance for understanding correctly the rest of the story, sooner or later.

Mushoku tensei is for me what Dark Souls did for me in gaming. It changed everything. The LN or WN in Mushoku tensei are just peak.

One of my favorite parts of the anime is when he reunites with Paul and assumes that he's gone looking for him, and realizes he hadn't even spared a thought for how far reaching the mana disaster was. He was so wrapped up in his own adventures he didn't even consider that the rest of the town was destroyed and teleported. It reminds me of being a kid and not realizing that you aren't the center of the universe which he probably didn't even realize in his old life at however old he was.

Wow. Thanks for putting my exact thoughts into words on this anime! Amazing work. I will link this video to anyone who I discuss Mushoku Tensei with!

This comment will most likely get a lot of hate but I feel it needs to be said. There is a difference between sexualizing children and children being sexual people. Thats how the real world is. You don't turn 18 and unlock the skill sexuality. Its a gradual process and children experiment and experience before 18. I get it, it makes people uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable but like the video said. It felt realistic.

This... is an AMAZING VIDEO!!! WHY DOES IT HAVE SO FEW VIEWSSSS????????? This quality, the editing, the sound work, the narrative arc. Its brilliant!!!

"Light hearted kidnapping shnanagins" ahh yes

Me as a novel reader: *pulls up glasses*, the Elinalise gang-bang scene was, surprisingly enough, critical to the story, or at least her character arc, heck its critical to the lore of the world in the side stories.

Such a great video! You did "what i feel" everything right. you made me feel and understand more about the show and made me love Mushoku Tensei even more. love this video and hope you do more of these

Yeah Eris was annoying(but funny) at first and I never thought I'd LOVE her within 2-3 episodes. I really hate the trope of Tsundere beats the hell out of MC for no reason(most shows, didn't mind when she did it in ep 6/8, at least in 6 he definitely deserved it). It gets soo old, especially when MC didn't do anything like Taiga from Toradora. And when she's super happy or excited and jumping for joy it makes me so happy.

One of the best anime I've ever seen. Considering the storyline and world building the no.1 in those aspects. The more you look into it it just gets even better.

I was waiting for this for so long

fantastically produced and researched video

Gotta be able to separate fiction from reality. Judge a character by their actions, not their thoughts. You can enjoy a series even if you do not enjoy all the aspects of its main character. Look closely at Rudeus. Yes he has his flaws, but he is not defined by them. Look at his actions instead. His intentions. He helps others and forms very real and very positive relationships with all the supporting cast. What harm has he actually done? What good has he actually done? How do you weigh the negatives of his character to the benefits. This series is great for making you question the characters. It's like thinking "if a man makes a mistake but spends his entire life doing good deeds, should he be judged by his mistake or his good deeds?". Paul is a fantastic example of this. He cheated on his wife. He raped Lilia in his teenage years. Is he a bad person? Will he always be a bad person because of those mistakes? What about all the other things he has done. They surely amount to something, no?

Hanezeve caradhina melody in the end of the video ❤️

True. It realistic. Like his father Paul felt extremely realistic. I think the most fleshed out and best character is actually his father. Also the way how we can see how his past life haunts him is quite nice since we rarely see that. It's quite a wholesome anime.

Well thought and well put! Fantastic video about MT!

I really enjoyed this video. It was a genuine treat to watch; I loved hearing you express some of your feelings on a show that I adore.

The most hilarious thing is that Elinalise's group "activities" are non ironicly important for the story, at least they play a very big part for some characters later in light novels. Other than that i wanna admit that after reading light novels my perspective on many things is different from when i only watched anime.

"Elinalise gangbang was somehow critical to the overall story." ;)

Another amazing video of yours. Enjoyed watching it and hearing what you have to say.

Bruh you are sooo underrated!!! Such a good video and you explained it so well

God this was so good. Thank you.

A great video with incredible effort put into it. Hope KZfaq will drip down some more recommendations so your channel can get more attention.

7:58 thanks for the flashbang my guy :P but great video :)

Thank you for putting everything we love about Mushoku Tensei in this video!

i just love this series i have completed everything there is to this series and it getting the love it deserves it's just the best. it's going to be my No. 1 story of all time. this is just the start and this literally is just the start believe me

I know I'm a bit late to this, but the most mature part in my eyes was when ruijerd killed the guy just for kicking Rudy. I thought It was cool because it simultaneously asked "is the reputation of the superd entirely wrong?" as well as "was ruijerd entirely wrong for what he did?" Incredibly well thought story and one of my favorites.

Man love that simplistic thumbnail that you always do.

Took me quite some time to get to this video but now that I have, let me say this is one of your best videos on this channel. The way you effectively and interestingly articulated your thoughts in such a short amount of time and words is really impressive. Love the content and keep it going. You are amazing 👊

The thing with mushoku tensei for me is I end up disliking a lot of the characters as "people" but absolutely loving them as a character and look forward to seeing them continue improving as people and characters. Its absolutely brilliant imo.

I love mushoku tensei so much, it's the first anime/manga that got me to read the light novel, and I'm happy that finally after 3 months of reading the light novel I will be starting the volume 10 soon, which is further than the manga has got, I'm curious about how it will make me feel, cause I've loved the novel so far, and I already kind of knew what was gonna happen cause I read the manga, however, once I start volume 10 i'll have no idea, which makes me excited to read it and experience the story even more :D overall I'd encourage anyone who's curious about the light novel to give it a go, I don't have much experience with books outside of manga if that counts to anything, but I think the light novel is beautifully written. Great video, gave me goosebumps watching the scene where Rudeus remembers him mother after being dumped.

Prob the best breakdown of the realistic complexity of this series I've watched. Liked and Subbed.

Loved the video! I also wish more people would talk about Ruijerd or specifically the conversations and conflicts between him and Rudeus. How even though he could easily dismiss his opinions and wishes as that of a child (especially considering his strong feelings on wanting to protect children) but he doesn't and they have very mature conversations and even arguments with each other and their different opinions, world views and ethics. Was really enjoyable to see how their friendship changed both of them in the end.

My favourite parts of the whole story were basically the slice of life once. Him arriving home, greeted by his family, going out with friends too drink, the girls just having a heartfellt discussion or someone getting reunited with someone. This anime(and WN) makes you appreciate the litle parts of life, and shows you, that you don't need some grand war, or world ending danger, to make your story interesting.

I watched mushoku tensei thinking about interesting plots and fan services but after watching and listening to multiple videos by people who knows about anime, relationship, and maturity. It made me realize just how much depth an anime can have and I am glad to hear your own views and opinion about it. People I am talking about (Gigguk, Phenom Sage, and Trash Taste Highlight)

It's something about KZfaqr like you that gives me inspiration and to love shows even more. The way you put it all in words is just something i wish i could do. I'm glad the algorithm brought me to this channel. Though I'm pretty sure I've seen you before. But nevertheless. I'm glad to have come across if not come across again on your channel. I'm very inconsistent with keeping up to all the people I'm subbed to but I'll do my best to keep chasing you.

excellently put very nice video man, you basically said how i exactly feel about this anime

I think something that is pretty mature is how characters change. Which is to say, it doesn't happen overnight. Habits built up over a decade don't change all at once just because of some traumatic event most of the time and certainly not for a minor one. And especially they show older characters change more slowly. Eris develops quite fast in comparison which makes perfect sense. This slower more realistic approach to change makes the characters feel so much more real and make the eventual change feel so much better. For a more dramatic approach, I think ruijerd's character arc was significant. He clashed very heavily with rudy because of his inflexible ideals but through traveling the world realized the value of flexibility and agreeableness without completely being able to let go his rigid ideals.

Sneaking in FF9's "You're Not Alone" in the background. Excellent taste

As someone who greatly enjoyed the web novel, this video is making me remember so many things, and so many emotions that as a young 14 year old, I had never really felt before. To me, mushoku tensei was an absolutely new experience that forever shaped my perspective, and will remain in my heart forever. I cannot express enough how highly I value this series, but I can't bring myself to binge mushoku tensei simply because it makes me think and remember too much. Love the video keep making great stuff!

Just subbed. Great video and I agree with everything you said about the anime! I had similar ideas of how it differed from isekai animes and the direction MT takes the story!

Throughout 2021, I tried my best to get into anime. I watched several episodes from Stein’s Gate, Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Code Geass, Demon Slayer, and other popular series. I dropped all of these series, however, because I couldn’t connect with their main characters. Mushoku Tensei is the only anime I watched last year that I connected with. As someone who greatly prefers Man vs Self narratives over Man vs Man and Man vs Monster narratives, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Rudy battle the demons that ruined his past life (anxiety, lust, isolation, hostility, etc). Although the premise of MT is whacky, the character development is sincere. The episode where Rudy forgave his father after remembering how he foolishly pushed his friends and family members away in his past life really struck a chord with me. My only fear moving forward is that MT might transition to a new formula that focuses on Rudy striving to defeat Orsted rather than his own demons. Watching Rudy become a better man is so much more entertaining than watching him beat up baddies.

Eris def grew on me and became one of my fav characters. Watching the character grow while they were in Dead End was my fav part of their journey in S1. After the anime I read ahead in the LN and the way she kept working hard to match up to Rudy until becoming a Sword King is commendable.

What a great video!

Nice background music choice😁

The most mature thing i see in Mushoku Tensei is that the writer Rifujin Na Magonote wasn't afraid to make his characters believably flawed. I have seen so many shows that ether have bland flawless characters strolling through every problem they encounter, or puddle deep archetypes pretending to have a personality. I once tried to explain a character from this Lightnovel to one of my friends. It took me a while, I couldn't seem to boil them down without undermining the character I was trying to describe ( it was Paul BTW).

As they say love ❤️ is something not given nor is it bought it’s something that takes a long process to forge to make it into something else and something truly blessed and special. Eris an Rudy spent so much time together and saw and did so much, the scene was so blissful and true but as they separate and walk on the individual paths there is a saying : “ Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together. “ - Jules verne That is what I find meaning to eris and Rudy’s love. Eris wants to be worthy to stand as a equal person to Rudy to his greatness and protect what she has to keep him safe. So while it’s a temporary goodbye they will meet again and the feelings that once was declared in 22 will be spoken once more It’s all a question of time; that is all.

God bless, every time I hear the words 'turning point' I get chills down my spine and lots of goosebumps. This show has left me with something of a phobia and love for those beautiful words.

Dude I love this video!

I can't lie, I felt pretty differently about that sex scene. I thought it was viscerally uncomfortable, and I trust the show is going to revisit it if we get a S2. I mean, Rudeus was pretty clear that he wasn't super into doing it at the moment, and Eris was coming on to him really strong. Not to mention, she was feeling a huge moment of weakness from the Orsted fight, and of course finding out her whole family is dead...and then decides she's gonna have sex with Rudeus? And then leaves right after without saying anything. (Also ignoring that their cousins, idk in this context that doesn't feel that bad). This seems like a whole ton of bad for the two of them, and I trust that the show is going to respect that. Not to mention the cup, certainly seemed like it was signifying some sort of disturbance, and the camera work around the pillar in the middle of the tent suggesting some sort of divide. I don't know, an amazing scene, but it did not pull any positive emotions from me.

the funny thing is, this show TECHNICALLY doesnt "subvert" expectations - the contrary: its been among the first isekai, and youd THINK this is what wed EXPECT from isekai by now. but the others just copied the worst parts of "the genre" over time, not even understanding what made this show good. This show is what isekai was SUPPOSED TO and SHOULD be. Not the same copy-paste harem power fantasy bullshit.

Great video!

What a great video ❤️

Season 2,SYLPHIE GANG SYLPHIE GANG

I agree with every point made in this video. Excellent show, excellent video, excellent discussion about a topic that I think many people with overlook and potentially judge this series too harshly too quickly. That said, the fact that Rudeus and Eris are cousins just never seems to leave my mind, and continues to creep me out during any romantic or sexual scene between them. I understand that may not weird people out as much depending on the culture they were raised in, but I've always been taught relationships like that just don't happen between family members, and it does not cease to weird me out just a little bit each time, despite how amazing the writing and development between the characters are. I just wish they had been written as unrelated characters! I think this series is incredible, and the characters and their development is just as incredible, but man, the fact that they're cousins was just always in the back of my mind.

Outstanding video.

Mushoku tensei has become an all time favorites for me. If you were to ask me what the best isekai was, I’d show you this anime(and rezero). Where rezero has extremely strong characters and development, Mushoku has a great balance between plot and character development. It’s just so perfect. I can’t imagine any other isekai hitting the same anymore.

Please someone make me understand I as a reader of mushoku tensei 11 volumes balls deep never in any moment dislike Rudeus, because I could empathize with his motivation of wanting to change and with the fact that he's not perfect. I have watched the anime in three different languages and didn't find anything that made me hate Rudeus in fact the only people that expressed that they didn't like Rudeus where U.S "anime watchers" I have not seen anyone from Japan, Latino America, or Europe complaining about Rudeus only Americans.

I just want to say that this video is awesome and that this anime won over my favorite of all time in 2 days and I hope it keeps its incredible streak up with the next season

You nailed it If you have time, check out volume 6 of the light novels, where rather than a minute long speech about standing next to rudeus proudly and protecting him, she has a 14 page soliloquy detailing her side of their entire relationship and their time together. Its my favorite scene in the first half of the light novels, made me cry, its incredible

"I have no doubt that those feelings will always remain between them" haha😀 haha😀**laughing while crying** **punching the wall**

Dawg... what is wrong with people istg. Before i even watch the video i check to see the most played part from curiostity (something youtube added recently) and when i hover over it its a fucking picture of silviette fucking naked :l (it's in the fanservice part too)

Can’t wait for season 2! I’ve seen a few vids on the manga and it’s gonna be great

Explained so wel and detailed thank you for this. I was kinda lost for liking this series because of the nudety but now I can understand it.

the plot of the season 2 is that a 30+ years old dude in a 12 years old body couldn't have a hard on with a 13 yo girl and that made him depressed.

14:39 "Protect that smile" Spoilers In Mushoku Tensei smile protect you

3:50 YES i wanted to drop the series for how rudeus acted but when i saw more till the LN i loved the eeveloping of rudeus

i couldn't have worded it better. My number 1 Isekai anime made me feel so many different emotions for the characters and i love it to bits. read up to where the manga ends and cant wait for that animated release

this anime had the audacity to have great animation, great worldbuilding, great characters but the the main character is one of the worst in anime straight up. cmon yall, at 15:42 there is no way to spin "main character tries to have sex with an 8 year old" into a good thing or for plot but i got told "he improves, read the manga" and no. By the end of the story he ends up in a poly relationship with roxy, sylph and eris because ofcourse he does. If you take the "he's an adult using a child's body to get away with grooming" angle, he's a pedo for ending up with sylph and eris and if you go with the "he's a child so it's fine" makes roxy a straight up groomer with no alternative takes and hell in the manga, there is so much more lewd loli shit and "well it's for the plot" doesnt work here because regardless the mangaka still spent time drawing a 5 year old with their ass exposed

well done. you got everything but one thing right, that being eris didnt intend to leave when she slept with rudeus, but realized as they slept together and after, that she had taken advantage him and had been forcing herself on him, even though hes someone younger than her, hes taken care of her all this time. so she feels disgusted with herself. she knows she cant even protect him and if they were to get married now, she would only hold him back and not be worthy to be his wife. and that makes her think of leaving to train which she does that same night

The two scenes I rmb the most was the scene when he met Paul again in the bar, and the scene when Zenith slapped him when he was gonna cut all ties with his grandmother. The love and emotion in those scenes were so powerful that I tear up no matter how many times I read it, the flaw of Paul and the burden he had to carry, the love of Zenith and the sadness of seeing her family breaking. And Rudeus, who picked up the responsibilities his father left behind, who loved his family like how his mother loved him, to move foward as a person. The maturity in this story is unreal, and it resonates with so many people who were put in similar situations, either it be with their families, with their work, with their lives, and shown them how to pick themselves up again.

good video phenomsage

This series is so wrong many ways, it's a world where borderline pedophilia, slavery and sexual harassment isn't punished and while it is a little shocking, it's fresh to see something without censorship or wokeness of shows these days.

I didn’t really like how perverted the show was, however this is still my favorite anime of all time because it’s just so well done.

Always happy to see a video on this show, concidering that it's impossible to get your friends to watch it without seeming like you belong on a few lists

I know this is very late to the party, but your choice of music during the Paul section is just low key great choice. FFIX's 'You're not Alone' is so spot on as it got to a point with everyone scattered he was desperate and was unsure if he could. Even after the fight both him and Rudy had he was still able to find comfort and be able to move past the struggles he was having after the explosion and finally have a moment of respite and relief to finally be able to continue the search. He, was now, no longer alone in the search of finding the rest of his family. And when I mean 'no longer alone' he now has a dependable, and reliable person of blood to help in the search.

Mushoku is the grandfather of isekai It doesn't follow tropes, because it made and set those tropes in the first place

The gangbang is actually pretty important in the story, only if read the novels. Hope it would get animated

ive read the ln and all I can say is the anime has only touched the surface of how much these characters grow, every time I watch it I end up with teary eyes and wishing the anime was completed already so i could watch more without having to fish out copies of the ln. this is my favorite anime and story of all time. me and my dad never really got along and I saw myself and still see myself in rudy as I dont really have a life but am striving to making something of myself so I can support others in my life.

Great vid

"Mature" yeah sure. Until one character bones his Aunt.
