Hi everyone, if you are new, welcome and please remember, don't spoil in the comments, no spam, no links and respect Teddy's will! You can debate among yourselves but without spoilers. Thanks in advance and enjoy her reaction! 😌
05:35 Based on the context, she left the door open and purposely started to clean herself nude while she knew he'd walk by. It was a staged scene. Also something the anime left out, they wrongly believe that you cannot have sex while pregnant. So paul had been 'lacking' in the action department for a few weeks at that point. (no excuse, just giving missing context)
One thing this anime does well is put focus on Rudy's shortcomings from his prior life through the people around him. His father is the biggest of these in the early chapters and as Rudy changes as a person, you really do see how far hes come.
@@mjtechnoviking44 I don't blam him xD. People out there can't even handle the temptations of Instagram, and we are going to judge this character? please.
Yeah I don't think there's a way to defend Paul in any situation but given the circumstances he has now two women pregnant and Rudeus, he has a duty to take care of. Also taking in consideration the middle-age theme were this was most likely a thing, women here in this world can be independent but with a cost so, its not like Zenith has much of a choice, having two children now and start all over it might be too hard. I know. Sometimes it can be easy to walk away but when you have children it makes things more difficult. At least Paul even as a cheater scumbag that he is, at least he takes responsibility and is not an abuser in other ways. So like I always say. It could be worse. Even in today's world I've seen shaky relationships like this survive and stay afloat. Some men is not that they are only scumbags, some of us are weak and tend to fall to this kind of mistakes but that doesn't mean we are all the time scumbags, we make mistakes and we do our best to salvage it. It doesn't excuse the behavior and we do not deny there's worst men that do worse than this, but we do make mistakes and the few of us do our best to try to fix things at the end.
This chapter was a realistic depiction of what happens when a woman marries the chad womanizer, its actually what would happen in most romantic stories where the girl "changes the man for the better" In the novel Zenith too knew Paul from his womanizing days, and slept with him out of attraction, but got pregnant and was very surprised when he actually married her Zenith and Paul are both runaways from aristocratic families, maybe thats why So this was more of a "what where you expecting? or course he will cheat," that surprised no one who ever new Paul Paul is the Jaime Lannister of isekai, thats the main reason people defends him, retroactive sympathy, if you will Also, Paul sent Rudeus away without explaining things, because he assumed Rudeus could convince him to let him stay, so it was easier for him to knock out Rudeus and send him away Swordsmanship is actually stronger than magic, in close quarter combats BTW, Lilia's method of seduction is the long type, she discretely flashes parts of her body to the man whenever she moves, to raise interest, her bathing scene was her culmination of efforts The novel mentions it because she taught that to Silphy...
The greatest thing about this anime is how they made characters that aren't perfect, everyone has their own mistakes and strong points, everyone is evolving while the story goes, for me that is what make it so different of all the other isekais.
@@Doki_LP It's medieval/middle age times the morals are different and a lot of scummy nobility that are worse than Rudy and Paul (have to clarify I'm not taking light of what they do earlier on). It's Paul's house so you can't kick him out and Zenith ran from home since she hated the noble lady life. The grandpa's wife is dead, the anime left that out.
@@DeviiBT Still no reason to let all of this happen without any consequences at all. It is like making a big drama for some disgusting fanservice and then acting like nothing happened at all in the next scene. This is my only critique to this series. But bad and annoying fanservice isn't something unique to this series. But seriously just let it have some logical aftermath.
the anime changed things in the actual LN lilia said this about the so called rape encounter "We were still so young, back when he was staying at the training hall where we practiced. Paul sneaked into my room at night, and that was that. I didn’t dislike him, but I certainly didn’t love him back. It wasn’t exactly the most romantic encounter." the specific word used for the encounter in the novel was YOBAI which was an old japanese custom where a man would silently crawl into a women's room and make his intentions known. If the woman consented, they would sleep together. By morning he would leave.
I'm not giving Paul a pass. He should have turned the maid down. But by her own admission, she seduced him and initiated things. One thing I love about this show is that it shows flawed characters making poor choices. It's incredibly rare in entertainment to see a "good" guy make shitty decisions
Paul wasn't BS-ing when he said swordsmen generally have the advantage over mages. Rudy can do incantationless casting which is a massive help, but still.
Yea but another thing is that it is still impressive for rudy to perform that well, if you didn’t know in the light novel paul said that a swordsmen shouldn’t let a mage get off 2 spell meanwhile rudy get 4 spell off him.
@@t500010000 I disagree. And the World of Mushoku Tensei does, too :) The Sword Styles are absically a scewed version of Rock-Paper-Scissors. And while the Sword-God-Style technically can win against any Style if you go King-Class or above, only on the highest level this actually matters. I would argue however that the lower the combattants proficiency, the "stronger" the North-God Style becomes.
Not a spoiler, but something that the anime just flat out omits, but is explained in the light novel. Zenith is an immigrant -- she is not from Asura, the kingdom where they are living, and where the Greyrat family is from. She isn't even from the same continent, she is from a country called Millis, which is a theocracy. ... In the Asura kingdom, polygamy is normal. Millis, however, is a monogamous society. When Paul got Zenith pregnant, he agreed to marry her and obey her wishes that they be monogamous. Paul is still scum because he broke his promise to be monogamous with Zenith, but it's hard because he had to accept the standards of a different society, whereas other people in his country happily have multiple wives. That's why he has sex with Zenith almost constantly, but when she became pregnant, he had to stop because of the belief that more sex would harm the baby. That gave Lilia the opportunity to seduce him. She knew it would hurt Zenith, but again, she is from Asura where it would be socially acceptable for Paul to have another lover.
@@ireallygotnothing i wont drop any channel names but SOME male reactors somewhat "understand" why paul did it thats why they dont hate his character that much.
@@randyboykalakal I love Paul, he advances the story from a character point of view. Also, this is set in a medical society that has magic, so things are very very different, like 15 being the age of adulthood or different parenting approaches, status also plays a big part in it given that Paul is from a Noble house. Maybe female reactors relate with Zenith and male reactors relate with Paul, that is not a difficult thought to defend, both sexes have different life experiences, thus they defend what they know. What Rudy did was amazing, he guided the conversation to a middle ground in which all characters get to live, although I didn't like he falsely accused Paul, but it was the only way.
@@rikumajumder1558 she was not worse. she was actually a noble lady who in order to escape her strict parents left the house and started adventuring in there she fell in love with Paul.
10/10 reaction. Yeah, Paul is trash, and without some spoilers I couldn't really explain why people like him as much as they do... also Lilia hasnt been with them for a long time, and she lowkey was prepared to blackmail Paul to get that maid job because of a poison injury she sustained from a failed assassination attempt. This is stuff the light novel explains, and I kind of wish the anime had had that explanation too but there we go. There's also more backstory to Zenith in the LNs which isnt here either... still the anime has pretty scenery, so it gets a 'good enough' from me for now...
The anime helps promote the novels to new viewers so it's okay for the anime to not put out all the details and keep the pace to how they would like it.
The anime follows the original source, wich is the WN. The light novel had many changes and added chapters, wich were not originally part of the story.
The thing about mishoku tensei is that all of its characters are heavily flawed. Including Paul. He does shitty things, despite him truly trying he's not always the best father, and maybe he has some shitty character traits. But as flawed as he is deep down He's a good person at heart. And that's where the show lies, taking extremely flawed characters and making you understand them and you can decide for yourself whether to like them or hate them
It may seem very scumlike, and in today's perspective unacceptable, in that world having multiple wifes is not necessarily a sin, unless you are part of the Milis religion(wich Zenith is). That doesn't change the weight of what Paul did, but it is still something to consider.
One thing i will say is that although the anime is a fantastic adaptation, it still leaves out helpful information. In the light novel you get to see Zenith's inner thoughts and why she decides to forgive Paul. Basicly her faith believes in taking one partner for life but Paul is nobility and it's not uncommon for nobles to have multiple partners. Also Rudy immediately goes back on what he said after making the cringe comment about raising Sylphie to be his ideal wife. You get to see his inner conflict and how he's actually trying to change and do right by his friend.
In case you missed it. Rudy's claim that Paul forced the maid were a lie. Rudy thought that if Paul took all the blame that it'd put the kid at risk. Paul never intimidated or forced anyone into sex.
Bro I was so mad when this episode aired. What I thought was a ideal family was destroyed 15 seconds within this episode. How you gonna watch whole episodes without cursing this anime and Paul?
@@teddymecheto Really? No income (I guess Zenith doesn't work), no extra help with 3 children (besides the maid) and he's a really skilled fighter so he could probably defend them in case of a random bandit/monster attack. I get that Paul was not fair towards his wife, but the smart option is to give him a second chance and keep him around. It's better to put away your emotions while making important decisions than to regret your choices later. And let's not forget the main theme of the story - *people can change.* ☺
@@subarusama5673 Zenith is a strong independent woman. I believe in her. She's a big girl who has magic on her side and don't need trash like Paul. I stand by what I said 😀
im pretty sure the disgusting personality these people are spewing are meant to be seen as something repulsive for viewers. its quite concerning how some people defend them
She did seduce him. In a small house, she left her door open on purpose and was naked cleaning herself when she knew he notice her, then did not scream or tell him to leave at once (as one would do if any of that was an accident) Paul is still scum, hard Testosterone, breed all the ladies; keep in mind that's also the time period. He's an Adventurer with such high skill he was given a whole village to care after.
Love seeing a Disney kid's reaction to this anime, its actually interesting seeing people react to closer representations to your layman man/woman where people aren't simply good or bad, heroic or evil and actually have depth to them with both good characteristics and flaws. Seeing her struggle with reactions from one extreme to the other is also pretty funny every time the main character does something good or bad like its somehow out of character even tho it fits with his explained background and past actions so far. Very fascinating reactions even if exaggerated for content.
she left the door open and was naked bathing there, did she say no to him?, It takes two to tangle and so you can not just throw all the blame on the father. Both are to blame.
Im not saying its normal but back in the days the situation between Paul, Lilia and Zenith was comon. And even now depending on where you come from this situation can be less difficult to process/forgive/accept
Your view is misguided. Paul is a shit-head, he is not beyond saving though. He is a great father, he is a questionable partner at best, and he did bad things on his past, both to Lilia and to his party. Despite all that, he is a great character. I guess I can say all this because I've actually read the source material, so I speak with fundaments. Don't give up on Paul, everything happens for a reason, and you are too quick to dismiss him like that.
The polygamy are normal in that world but Zenith are pure Milis believer which only believe in monogamous marriage so it really kind of hard for her and this come from me who are from religion that enable to have a polygamous wedding but if it was me i still only want to have one wife at a time because it my way to respect my future wife unless it was by her consent because of great reason such as she cant give a birth or like that
For people who do not understand why Zenith did that. She simply accept that because she doesn't want to send an unborn child to her death. She is Milis follower and 1 husband and 1 wife is very important. However, sometimes, Puting a side that to Save a life is even more important.
I'm so hungry for more episodes, Teddy's reactions crack me up, especially every time a naughty moment arrives, she gives us that look and I'm just here cackling like a Witch. Can't wait for next episode, hang in there Teddy, LOL.
Fun Fact, Swordsman in mushoku tensei DO use magic. But its unconscious, they are applying magic to their entire bodies which enhances all physical abilities. Advanced-tier swordsman were said in the Light Novels to be able to run at more than 50 kilometers per hour. Swordsman are the strongest in this world.
My advice would be to read the novel as you watch the anime, because of the difference in format a lot of info is missing. There was a time it bothered me, but i learned to appreciate the anime as a different piece of content. Another thing i learned to appreciate is that you can still get a somewhat fresh experience by reading the novel after watching the anime. You get to have more information, see the side characters pov, etc. I find it really enhance the experience.
Interesting fact: Zenith is a Millis believer, a religion that professes that you can only love one person for your whole life, that is why it is much more painful for her that Paul and Lilia betrayed her.
Im pretty sure no one, not even MT fans would defend Paul's actions by cheating on Zenith. Everyone loves Zenith. That being said, we wouldn't have Aisha if he didn't. Even the author calls Paul scum for cheating on Zenith.
The whole cheating thing is simple to understand. They both were in the wrong. She seduced him without really even trying and he gave in so easily. I don’t hate either of them tho, I understand why they did it. But it doesn’t make it right ofc. Horniness can be our worst enemy.
Lilia is guilty for incitement / instigation / aiding and abetting. Paul is guilty for acting on it. Usually, they're both facing the same punishment. Fun fact: In that world, polygamy is not illegal.
The reason Lilia works under Paul despite him assaulting her all those years ago, is because she needed a job (after she became injured in her last job) and she figured she would blackmail Paul regarding their past for the job. Ultimately, every person in this series is quite flawed.
This was the episode I started taking this show seriously. Firstly, the fact that the father figure is a very flawed character that still feels like a decent enough person (not a good husband in the least), and secondly, how the maid internally counts it being her fault where dude literally had to not go into her room. The latter, to me, was an exceptional specimen of storytelling where it shows an aspect of the society there where it's somehow the woman is guilty for being naked in her own room. Granted, Lilia was actually trying to seduce Paul. I'm just saying that this episode was exceptional at inferring how the society is in that world.
Paul *is* a shit husband, no one is disputing that. But he's also good *father* though. Especially to Aisha and Norn, and Rudeus too even if their relationship is a little rocky when they reunite in Millis during the 2nd Cour.
You need to understand that world is not morden earth, most women would have a hard time surviving by herself, men has more power, and it is common for people to have multiple wife. Paul only have one is because of Zenith's religion is like Christianity in here and he agree to her he will be faithful.
I watched this episode for the first time with my wife, and I remember her reactions being very much along the same lines as Teddymecheto's, as she constantly looked my way for reassurance. I gave her all the sympathy, but even then I admit I privately did not yet fully discount Paul as trash in my mind.
Paul is only trash when it comes to womanizing and the repercussions...in pretty much everything else he's a great guy that puts a lot of effort.And yes I know stuff what has not yet been covered in the anime yet. Plus the womanizing thing is also kind of a acceptable and encouraged behavior in the Greyrat clan...so that's another context to why Paul is the way he is.
@@encapsulatio Pretty much my thoughts as well. Paul would be a great guy to get drunk with or to ask advice with problems. But he is a terrible person to get married to.
Look, I know there are may things in this anime that we should not be seeing, but as you continue and understand the story,, its getting more interesting and fun.
day 4 of telling you about isekai animes oh yeah If you are starting isekai take my advice Also react to Konosuba Overlord The saga of Tanya the Evil Re Zero these 4 are isekai and together they have a joined show even very cartoonish (nothing like MCU ros omething its just for fun) called Isekai Quartet. that should tell you how famous they are. React to all 4 of them as well they are really good anime. Overlord is soon to get a new season4 as well so it might be perfect timing.
I wouldn't say I would defend Paul. He is most definitely a trashy character, as much or more so than Rudeus. As far as reasons to like Paul, those come by later. But it isn't like there's an overall like or dislike for the character; there are parts you like and parts you dislike, and in *that* respect, Paul does, most certainly, become a very respectable character in his own right later. It just doesn't make his past mistakes any less horrible, so you just have to acknowledge the whole of who the characters are.
just found this channel after i looked for reactubers watching the anime as soon as i finished the other episodes you reacted to a hour later you uploaded a new episode reaction lmao
Honestly don't pay attention to salty people in the comments. If you'll follow their advices and ignore everything uncomfortable it'll be boring pokerface reactions wich is pointless, so... please, continue to give us your honest thoughts!
their is no defending Paul, but what is if you expect Zenith to do, survive on zero income, taking care of a new born/toddler. It is not like today's society where a judge can order him to pay her. He would likely just leave the country and never be heard from again. They are not nobility and don't have banks loads of money put away. This is the same reason divorce was not really an option throughout history.
Agreed. Paul made mistake but it's not like they can just easily divorce and then pay Zenith tons of money like in our modern society, besides Zenith is a traditional family woman, there's no way she'll let her kids grow up without a father figure

Goddammit Paul
This chapter was a realistic depiction of what happens when a woman marries the chad womanizer, its actually what would happen in most romantic stories where the girl "changes the man for the better"
In the novel Zenith too knew Paul from his womanizing days, and slept with him out of attraction, but got pregnant and was very surprised when he actually married her
Zenith and Paul are both runaways from aristocratic families, maybe thats why
So this was more of a "what where you expecting? or course he will cheat," that surprised no one who ever new Paul
Paul is the Jaime Lannister of isekai, thats the main reason people defends him, retroactive sympathy, if you will
Also, Paul sent Rudeus away without explaining things, because he assumed Rudeus could convince him to let him stay, so it was easier for him to knock out Rudeus and send him away
Swordsmanship is actually stronger than magic, in close quarter combats

@@teddymecheto well Paul is indeed a scumbag but a really well written one if you are a light novel fan.
5:52 that was her putting in an effort. Leaving the door open while naked was definitely strategic.
There's a reason why Paul ends with an "L".
And there is a reason why his name begins with a "P"... 🍆😏
Teddy: there's gotta be somebody that defend paul in the comment section
Me: I do like, and respect paul
Teddy: paul a shithead
Me: you're not wrong.
I'm not defending paul but he's a great character
im pretty sure the disgusting personality these people are spewing are meant to be seen as something repulsive for viewers. its quite concerning how some people defend them
She did seduce him. In a small house, she left her door open on purpose and was naked cleaning herself when she knew he notice her, then did not scream or tell him to leave at once (as one would do if any of that was an accident) Paul is still scum, hard Testosterone, breed all the ladies; keep in mind that's also the time period. He's an Adventurer with such high skill he was given a whole village to care after.
Love seeing a Disney kid's reaction to this anime, its actually interesting seeing people react to closer representations to your layman man/woman where people aren't simply good or bad, heroic or evil and actually have depth to them with both good characteristics and flaws. Seeing her struggle with reactions from one extreme to the other is also pretty funny every time the main character does something good or bad like its somehow out of character even tho it fits with his explained background and past actions so far.
Very fascinating reactions even if exaggerated for content.
she left the door open and was naked bathing there, did she say no to him?, It takes two to tangle and so you can not just throw all the blame on the father. Both are to blame.
Also you can respect Paul’s skill, and not respect him as a husband. They aren’t mutually exclusive,
Im not saying its normal but back in the days the situation between Paul, Lilia and Zenith was comon. And even now depending on where you come from this situation can be less difficult to process/forgive/accept
Yeah, as intentional as ‘seducing Paul’ was it didn’t really seem intentional lol, or at least it didn’t look like there was a ton of effort
Your view is misguided. Paul is a shit-head, he is not beyond saving though. He is a great father, he is a questionable partner at best, and he did bad things on his past, both to Lilia and to his party. Despite all that, he is a great character. I guess I can say all this because I've actually read the source material, so I speak with fundaments. Don't give up on Paul, everything happens for a reason, and you are too quick to dismiss him like that.
I won't spoil but theres an explanation on why paul is like that. Right now, let's just call it the greyrat clan's "culture".
The polygamy are normal in that world but Zenith are pure Milis believer which only believe in monogamous marriage so it really kind of hard for her and this come from me who are from religion that enable to have a polygamous wedding but if it was me i still only want to have one wife at a time because it my way to respect my future wife unless it was by her consent because of great reason such as she cant give a birth or like that
This anime is just go with the flow and it turn out to be good, but yeah some realistic shit is happening in this anime
For people who do not understand why Zenith did that. She simply accept that because she doesn't want to send an unborn child to her death. She is Milis follower and 1 husband and 1 wife is very important. However, sometimes, Puting a side that to Save a life is even more important.
Paul has been the medieval man trash frat boy all woman are he's toy kinda guy up to this point in his life
How is everyone going to act like the maid is not guilty
1:25 you ain't shit Paul
Paul: hold my beer
I'm so hungry for more episodes, Teddy's reactions crack me up, especially every time a naughty moment arrives, she gives us that look and I'm just here cackling like a Witch. Can't wait for next episode, hang in there Teddy, LOL.
Fun Fact, Swordsman in mushoku tensei DO use magic. But its unconscious, they are applying magic to their entire bodies which enhances all physical abilities. Advanced-tier swordsman were said in the Light Novels to be able to run at more than 50 kilometers per hour. Swordsman are the strongest in this world.
Yeah I was disgusted with Paul when this episode came out lmao. Dudes that horny should just avoid getting married honestly
1:50 ohh no you were
Continue this consistency and you will reach 50k and eventually 100k sooner!
I think you should do mushoku more often, seeing everyone wanna see your reaction on this, and hope you pull through eps 8 when everything start
My advice would be to read the novel as you watch the anime, because of the difference in format a lot of info is missing. There was a time it bothered me, but i learned to appreciate the anime as a different piece of content. Another thing i learned to appreciate is that you can still get a somewhat fresh experience by reading the novel after watching the anime. You get to have more information, see the side characters pov, etc. I find it really enhance the experience.
lilia is pregnant
"is that anyones buisness?"
yeah... xD
I like your reaction because it is different from others. The next arc has fast paced events and it's so beautiful that you will notice that.🍻
I would next arc is pretty normal pace until the end
5:35 lmao thats what I'm saying. Actually just straight up Paul's fault
The face of surprise when you found out Paul got the maid pregnant
her face 6:54 hahahahaha
Interesting fact: Zenith is a Millis believer, a religion that professes that you can only love one person for your whole life, that is why it is much more painful for her that Paul and Lilia betrayed her.
Im pretty sure no one, not even MT fans would defend Paul's actions by cheating on Zenith. Everyone loves Zenith. That being said, we wouldn't have Aisha if he didn't. Even the author calls Paul scum for cheating on Zenith.
The way that the opening scene takes people smile away.
The whole cheating thing is simple to understand. They both were in the wrong. She seduced him without really even trying and he gave in so easily. I don’t hate either of them tho, I understand why they did it. But it doesn’t make it right ofc. Horniness can be our worst enemy.
nahh girl who the f*** will defend paul. but if zenith kicked him out she won't be as happy alone. (unfortunently)
Lilia is guilty for incitement / instigation / aiding and abetting. Paul is guilty for acting on it. Usually, they're both facing the same punishment.
Fun fact: In that world, polygamy is not illegal.
The reason Lilia works under Paul despite him assaulting her all those years ago, is because she needed a job (after she became injured in her last job) and she figured she would blackmail Paul regarding their past for the job.
Ultimately, every person in this series is quite flawed.
This was the episode I started taking this show seriously. Firstly, the fact that the father figure is a very flawed character that still feels like a decent enough person (not a good husband in the least), and secondly, how the maid internally counts it being her fault where dude literally had to not go into her room. The latter, to me, was an exceptional specimen of storytelling where it shows an aspect of the society there where it's somehow the woman is guilty for being naked in her own room. Granted, Lilia was actually trying to seduce Paul. I'm just saying that this episode was exceptional at inferring how the society is in that world.
Paul *is* a shit husband, no one is disputing that. But he's also good *father* though. Especially to Aisha and Norn, and Rudeus too even if their relationship is a little rocky when they reunite in Millis during the 2nd Cour.
You need to understand that world is not morden earth, most women would have a hard time surviving by herself, men has more power, and it is common for people to have multiple wife. Paul only have one is because of Zenith's religion is like Christianity in here and he agree to her he will be faithful.
I watched this episode for the first time with my wife, and I remember her reactions being very much along the same lines as Teddymecheto's, as she constantly looked my way for reassurance. I gave her all the sympathy, but even then I admit I privately did not yet fully discount Paul as trash in my mind.
Paul is only trash when it comes to womanizing and the repercussions...in pretty much everything else he's a great guy that puts a lot of effort.And yes I know stuff what has not yet been covered in the anime yet. Plus the womanizing thing is also kind of a acceptable and encouraged behavior in the Greyrat clan...so that's another context to why Paul is the way he is.
@@encapsulatio Pretty much my thoughts as well. Paul would be a great guy to get drunk with or to ask advice with problems. But he is a terrible person to get married to.
"We'll grow up together, and I'll gradually raise her to be my ideal woman" .......
Well, I just hope you rate this show honestly after you finish it
Paul is a real man.
honestly, the most unbelievable thing about the maid is that that wasn't already the arrangement.
0:59
"Is it anyone's business?"
That's a unique reaction!
I’m dying from your facials expressions :D
Look, I know there are may things in this anime that we should not be seeing, but as you continue and understand the story,, its getting more interesting and fun.
Isn't it ironic that Pax is more of a pervert than Rudy is?
nice video
Bruh, the faces you make in this series is godly HAHAHA every time something weird is happening i can't help but laugh at your facial expressions 🤣
Paul is a good man because -
As Paul said, womanizing runs in the family.
There are several reasons Zenith doesn't just go home and they relate to why she's in that village with Paul in the first place
We are still knowing some characters, things will go crazy in no time. Just wait.
day 4 of telling you about isekai animes
oh yeah If you are starting isekai
take my advice
Also react to
Konosuba
Overlord
The saga of Tanya the Evil
Re Zero
these 4 are isekai and together they have a joined show even very cartoonish (nothing like MCU ros omething its just for fun) called Isekai Quartet. that should tell you how famous they are.
React to all 4 of them as well they are really good anime.
Overlord is soon to get a new season4 as well so it might be perfect timing.
I wouldn't say I would defend Paul. He is most definitely a trashy character, as much or more so than Rudeus. As far as reasons to like Paul, those come by later. But it isn't like there's an overall like or dislike for the character; there are parts you like and parts you dislike, and in *that* respect, Paul does, most certainly, become a very respectable character in his own right later. It just doesn't make his past mistakes any less horrible, so you just have to acknowledge the whole of who the characters are.
14:26 Just wait a bit...you will see later in the show (I will not say more).
gives a whole new meaning of "brother from another mother"
just found this channel after i looked for reactubers watching the anime as soon as i finished the other episodes you reacted to a hour later you uploaded a new episode reaction lmao
Honestly don't pay attention to salty people in the comments. If you'll follow their advices and ignore everything uncomfortable it'll be boring pokerface reactions wich is pointless, so... please, continue to give us your honest thoughts!
@@rohanshende4338 Well, it is kinda my thing, soo...
Paul is my role model. Y'all are just betas.
their is no defending Paul, but what is if you expect Zenith to do, survive on zero income, taking care of a new born/toddler. It is not like today's society where a judge can order him to pay her. He would likely just leave the country and never be heard from again. They are not nobility and don't have banks loads of money put away. This is the same reason divorce was not really an option throughout history.
Agreed. Paul made mistake but it's not like they can just easily divorce and then pay Zenith tons of money like in our modern society, besides Zenith is a traditional family woman, there's no way she'll let her kids grow up without a father figure
This episode had me rolling my eyes and shaking my head every minute
PaulGOD forever
React to overload please 🥺🥺
It's a life sis. Full of surprises.
thank you
Hmmm 🤨 that’s what they all say.
nice
Paul has no defense
😂😂😂 but compared to most other shounen anime , Paul is actually a good father .
and relatable
Please don't stop
TORADORA PLEASE
Paul my GOAT
