Mushoku Tensei didn't get a premium adaptation just randomly out of nowhere.
It got this level of adaptation because it is Mushoku Tensei.
Wow so deep
It is a work that has inspired many other creators to create their own light novels story, ot to mention it is also one of the most famous web novel out there.
I heard the talk for it's anime production goes all the way back to 2016...
It's hard to imagine it being like the rest.
Crying in berserk
Honestly I expected more grandeur than this but I will compromise.
The production for Mushoku Tensei is honestly insane. The sheer attention to detail and care for consistency made me fall deeply in love with it, even if Rudeus is a bit unbearable at first (now I'm invested in him as well as every other character). I feel like it should end up being remembered as an all-time classic.
Rudeus was written to be a deplorable character at the beginning, so there's nothing wrong with being unable to stand his personality. He grows slowly and by the final chapter of the story ends up as a rather sympathetic character. A lot of Isekai anime protagonists are supposed to be hikineet, trash of society but never really act like it so I appreciate this part of Mushoku Tensei.
Thank you for explaining cause i would have
Rudy a goat from the jump
Nah he's trash
Yeah, he's is in the true sense the trash of society and his personality doesn't change much during the series, is more like his decisions and efforts since reincarnation makes him a little more balanced and tolerable with the people that are close to him because despite his many flaws he cares about his friends and family deeply. It's a little bit of fresh air to have a more interesting character that the same bland, forgettable and self insert MC that appears in these Isekai rubbish.
He’s still scummy even up to the latest episode, but other aspects of his character are enjoyable and a breath of fresh air compared to the uninspired hot garbage of most isekai light novel adaptations with their power fantasy protags
It shows a lot from the content creator when they can highlight something they don't normally have an interest in. Not only that, but to do so while also having the maturity to hold back a passive aggressive tone. It really makes me respect this channel and what you're trying to communicate episode per episode. Thanks!
He couldn't hold the sneaky commentary tho.
@@hectora.3220 That's the tradeoff for me making the video in the first place lol
@@TheCanipaEffect It's cool. I love your videos man. Very good quality.
Well, it certainly helps that his fiance is a talented and well established anime writer as well who is the primary writer here.
Honestly, I feel pretty sad for the people that let Rudy ruin the show for them. This is easily my anime of the year.
Yea I dont get people who let a character who is intentionally written to rub you the wrong way get in the way of enjoying a show otherwise. Sure in this case its the MC but weve seen him change a fair bit since the beginning already imo. Sure hes still a bit of a perv but he is not nearly as bad as he was starting off.
@@valenten89 and yet some people forgive Issei from DXD.
@@liesandy291 I feel like people think that Rudeus is grooming (well he kind of is) but he has never had that kind of interactions in his life so he's very curious and stuff.
@@liesandy291 wouldn't compare those two though considering they from different Series with different tones
I don't, I just wish they stayed even further away lol
I was interested in this show when that whole controversy started about Rudy being a perv and ever since then it became my favorite Isekai. I can understand not liking Rudy but understand that he is growing every episode. And that's the best part about him. His character Development
Yeah, i think one of the reasons for the hate was the comparisons with re zero and Subaru.
It's the same with goblin slayer. Some scenes make people uncomfortable, but the rest of the show isn't really about that. The only difference is this is just a highlight of Rudy's flaw, whereas the goblins in Goblin Slayer highlight the dangers of the world and its monsters.
@@QuiksilverX7 what does subaru have to do with it?
@@herlastborn Exactly. This show is just too good for you to miss out just because of one character
@@edsonsengo2684 Re Zero and mushoku are often compared because they started around the same time, authors are friends and their stories are rich in content and depth compare to other isekai.
Subaru and Rudy both are whats considered a loser in the real world and they both try to be a better a person than they were.
It just doesn’t make sense to compare them cause the approach to the story is really different.
Never seen an Anime that has fleshed out it's characters as well as this has, even when they come across assholes it will be explained later why they are that way.
This show also harnesses the power of the butterfly effect wonderfully as well.
Nah there's literally an anime that has much character this seeason. It's called Ousama Ranking.
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 I've seen it and while it's great on character building it is limited on what it can show since he is a mute and all(so no character narration), but it does flesh out other characters giving you more perspectives on them(Like the queen), but still not on the level of this show. that's not to say it's a bad show or anything I really like it as well.
@@DabDabGoose well i think that's what's great about it. No inner monologues even tho he can't speak he still express all his desire through actions.
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 yeah it definitely gives a unique perspective which is what makes it great, unfortunately it's an anime original though so it's likely a 1 season story though, so the pacing is going to be faster.
@@DabDabGoose it was a manga adaptation.
Rudy's actually become one of my favorite characters in anime. A lot better than 99% of isekai protagonists.
Rudi has one of the best character developments ever it's going to take while for the anime to show it.
Lol no not even Subaru
@@Otaku_Reaper You know what I think the problem is?? Most anime fans have grown too used to these goody goody protagonists that only do good and aren't flawed or have extremely few flaws. That's why you see shows like Shield Hero and Mushoku Tensei get lambasted for the main character, when that's why I love the series. Yes, Rudy is a disgusting person, but he's not beyond redemption, and I've seen him slowly grow throughout the series. Even his father who was a scumbag managed to regain his son's approval, which made me happy. And it's so obvious Rudy wants to improve himself, he doesn't want to be seen as a bad person, and he's taking steps to work on that.
@@AshXXMayftw perfect from beginning doesn't even describe rudi, can't say the same for other isekai protagonist. Rudi had hardships that turned him from an absolute pile shit to a actual legend. He's also not a self insert character either which is why the average anime fan might be turned away.
@@Otaku_Reaper Yeah. That's what your typical isekai protagonist feels like nowadays.
Mushoku Tensei is the best isekai that I can't recommend to anyone
recommend it to everyone
I felt the same way with Re Zero. Its my favorite Isekai , but i don’t think its for everyone. I actually feel mushoku tensei is easier to recommend.
@@QuiksilverX7 I was more specifically referring to the amount of ecchi content to do with children
Yup i know. Re zero has a focus more on character study and anti-escapism,accepting and treasuring yourself.
Normally when you want to watch an isekai which is used for wish fulfillment and escape from the real world.
Mushoku tensei feels for me like playing an awesome fantasy RPG game like dragonquest or final fantasy. I feel its more of a crowd pleaser and easier to enjoy.
@@QuiksilverX7 I feel MT is more focused on trying to make the world feel as realistic a fantasy world with magic can be, the people interact like people would in real, every character has big flaws that might not be obvious on the surface, even characters that come off as assholes when you first see them get explained on why they are that way(Like Eris mum hating rudy because her boys where taken from her and felt it was unfair he could be there), the character writing is soo good on this show, the story on the other hand is where i think it lacks a little but overall the show is insane.
You’re supposed to hate Rudy in the beginning. He’s at the beginning of his journey. Watching him grow is a joy to behold
It's the best isekai. No, I am not open to contrary opinions.
There are two kinds of opinions about Mushoku: this, and the wrong ones.
Yeah, overlord is defo #2 though
@@MaidenlessScrub Exactly.
@@skittlemuncher2244 if only the 3d animation is good
@@skittlemuncher2244 Burh any story have the MC turn OP after 3 chapters or get all the tools from the start cant get into the top 5 and Overlord got both of the fucking things.
The first episode did truly a fantastic job of hooking anyone remotely interested in its opening, high quality magic scene, and it boggles my mind where the money for the extended cold opens and animation comes from.
I hope after mushoku more isekais will up their productions as well
Splendid video.
Frog-kun has done a great job writing the script so congrats Frog-kun!
There was a clear vision in it just like producer had while creating the perfect environment for this so called premium show. Everything spelled well and easy to digest to the viewer.
It taught viewers about the production of this work and how truly unique it really was. With the person mainly responsible for it loving the story so much that he considered that it has to get an anime but one that will be worth it of this brilliant tale.
The 3 O segment was something I personally didn't remember even if I recognized some of the names from interviews and whatnot but that is certainly something that I will keep an eye in the future and may refer to this as 3 Gods of Mushoku Tensei anime jokingly.
Visuals of this work and how everything moves is heavily grounded in reality despite being set in a fantasy world and in order to recreate this feeling additional work had to be done, one that was able to fully showcase the depth and beauty of this tale.
Mushoku covers variety of topics and places and in early arcs it happens quite frequenlty with Rudy visiting new landscapes and meeting others so to differentiate the places the team, background artist and those that work on it had to make it seem truly distinctive and they did.
Swordplay is one of the aspects of Mushoku that is absolutely brilliant because it is a very deep combat system and seeing it animated, while maintaining the stances and moves in reaistic way from the book is very impressive and amazing to witness.
Overall this is a very well written and produced video that tells us what Mushoku Tensei is and how its anime came to be. The people involved the cirumstances and the absolute flex that animators are doing with the passion behind it with time.
Truly well done.
Nama is that you on twitter 👀✨
@@aniketghorai8386 Yes
This show is so good for me, and all of "turning point" of this series is fking masterpiece, especially the turning point 4, I hope they can adaptation this series to this turning point and I can't wait to see it
Well the point of the show was that even the worst of us can change and become a better person with great effort. The fact that you h8 the MC is a proof that the Author did a good job.
that and aslo the inverse:
people like to say help the people who are in troubles/the ones who can't fit society, but rudeus is the perfect example of one such person, and... well, maybe this is seeing in it more than i should, but i feel like the people who can actually see past his flaws or even acknowledge them and still see the potential in rudy, in terms of viewers, are the people who could actually have the guts to brace themselves and be an anchor that could change to better these people.
tl;dr some... no, many people talk big with shows of kind, but in the end, they lack the stomach to face the very things they advocate for, and that's the kinda people that i feel mushoku irked off the most.
@@iota-09 i feel that, anyone can go and say "oh this or that is bad" and condemn it, but, if the person does want to change and improve, how many have gone with "he could try doing this or that"? It really says a lot about people's mentality, while different in scope, is like when an ex convict does want to reform itself but people don't give them even a single chance due to the stigma, even when said person really shows the desire to improve
All hail Frog-kun for scripting this great vid!
Frog-kun's script is definitely top notch.
I hope she gets to collaborate further in future videos as well.
Too bad that you are gonna miss an amazing show and journey.
Some people just like the generic character to self insert into instead of real character growth. MT has so many of this aside from Rudy like Eris, Paul and Rujierd
@@sonickham7085 bro literally said tensura > mushoku, smh
@@alvinwijaya9040 tensura better than mushoku? what? the build up for a fight scene was good and the atmosphere is heavy, then the fight becomes one sided and the mc's associates or subordinates wins the fight and it wasn't even close, it's so anticlimatic
@@johncruz5001 I can't compare Tensura with MT the characters alone beat the entire show
@@simplyrohith2163 the characters of tensura beat the characters of mt? The ones who are more powerful characters than the other characters of another show doesnt determine what is the better show
I feel bad for everyone who couldn't see past some of the more contentious aspects of the anime, and dropped it. It's really evolved into something special. You're just missing out, but hey, it is what it is.
It is still sad when people start hurling insults at fans and leave false reviews when they clearly haven't seen the later episode 🙄
@@sonickham7085 and then continuing idolizing characters in shows like deathnote, overlord, tanya lol...
i mean, i always considered the point of mushoku to be "what would the life(ACTUAL LIFE, from birth to death from old age) of your regular perverted neet be like if he was rebirthed in another world with the idea "i kinda want to be a better person if i had another chance"?"
just because someone wishes for something doesn't mean they will succeed in it, becoming better is part of the hardships and unfortunately, the early stages of a series are spent learning and understanding the base of the character with background and everything, so of course at the start you may see only his perverted and manipulative side... but it's the point of the series that he'll eventually grow, and to see how much he succeeds or fails in upholding his promise to become a better person is what makes the series interesting imho.
The strength of this series is that the writing never goes out of it's way to glorify or even outright excuse Rudy's actions. Unlike a lot of other wish-fulfillment isekai. You can dislike contentious aspects of writing. There are a lot of novels and the like with deplorable depictions of humanity.
The difference is how it's presented, and for what reason/purpose. The anime could have easily been a pedo-neet's wish fulfillment dream, but it's not. I think when people criticize the anime, they only focus on that aspect, and can't see the purpose behind the writing. You don't gotta like it, or be comfortable with it, but it's no reason to completely discount the anime as a whole.
They ain't gonna need for the next episode to come out, they can just binge it later. They've played us for absolute fools.
You can have wrong opinions , it's fine.
Thank you XD
Idk how your fiancé managed to make you do this video but it's a banger so...
Honestly, this sounds a bit weird but rudy is a small part of the story even though he's the main character. Even though his gradual change from a disgustingneet to a less disgusting member of society is a focus of the story, there's so much details and cogs that need to be in the right place at the right time for the story to happen. Rudy is just our lens. Our really perverted, disgusting, and character-filled lens to the world.
Also i love the editing and music choices! I guess you can still put your soul and effort into a video about a show you don't really like.
kllrnoova spotted 👁️👁️
Idk if you recognise me on twitter
@@blonkevnoci i do! Hello there!
The video I was waiting for. Thank you!
It's funny that people don't watch this only because of Rudy. At the same time, he's more interesting than the majority of anime protags. Rudy is fine, honestly. It's fiction, and you have to be able to recognise that, so I sure as hell won't let something like that ruin my experience.
well it sure as hell does ruin it for me. Opinions!
@@Arqodeonah because you need blank protagonist that like Jesus who girls simp for like keto kun from sao so you can relate to that character? Moral gray character are bad. Hey go check out another world with my smart phone. He is moral good and his only "flaw" is that he to nice and kind 😂
exactly, someone gets it!!
@@OJSRT24565 Really weird strawman. A character having personality doesn't mean everyone who doesn't like them hates characters with personality. Way more likely that they just don't like HIS.
@@OJSRT24565 I just don't want the main protagonists to be sexual predators lol
You know you can still have character growth with a character NOT starting out as a rapist/sexual predator/murderer etc., right?
Great video, for a great anime production. This is how modern anime should be created these days. As you have mentioned, a reformation of the whole industry is absolutely needed.
Ngl, when I first started Mushoku Tensei, I never expected I'd love it as much as I did. But as soon as I watched the first few minutes of the first episode, something clicked. I knew that I was in for something special. As soon as I finished the 1st cour of S1, I fell in love with the series, and then proceeded to read the light novel. After finishing both the light novel and web novel (Mushoku Tensei was the first light novel/web novel I've ever read btw), I can easily say that Mushoku Tensei is easily the best piece of fiction I've ever had the pleasure of reading, and Rudeus is not only my favorite MC of all time, but my favorite character of all time. His development is the best I've seen. Even though I already liked him at the start, despite his creepy nature, volume 7 onwards is when he truly starts to shine as a character (We've currently just reached volume 6 in the anime, which marks a major change in Rudy as a character and as a person). By volume 12, he was already in my Top 10. By volume 15, he was in my Top 3. And by the final volume of the web novel, he became my Top 1 (Just to add, I think the ending of Mushoku Tensei is the best I've seen in a series. It's just so damn satisfying, and is the perfect conclusion to Rudeus' story. When it ended, I didn't even feel sad, I just felt satisfied. No other story has ever done that for me, even some of my favorite endings like Code Geass and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood). For all those who currently dislike Rudeus' creepy attitude and nature, I think Season 2 will be when you start to REALLY like him. If Studio Bind adapts the entire series as well as they have this first season so far, Mushoku Tensei will not only go down as a classic, it could literally become one of the greatest anime of all time.
Bruh the school life and adventurer arc was still the worst arc of all. He's still a scumbag on those arc. And you should really read more there's literally a bunch of other good novel than Mushouku Tensei.
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 adventure is the worst arc? Wtf dude, the volume 7 is the one of best arc we can see Rudy development after Eris left him.
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 and the MT fan in Japan, they want studio Bind will do the movie for this volume, so I think ur taste have some problem
@@kaelthunderhoof5619 Both of those arcs were top tier imo (especially volume 7, that volume was a 10/10), and really showcased how far Rudeus has come as a character. Ain't no way you can look at Rudeus from volumes 1-3 and Rudeus from volumes 7-9 and tell me that he hasn't changed at all and is still a scumbag. And although Mushoku Tensei is my first light novel (planning on reading Re:ZERO and Faraway Paladin after finishing Old Dragon's Tale), I've read a LOT of different series. Some of my favorites include Berserk, One Piece, Chainsaw Man, Monster, Vagabond, Kaguya-sama, Monogatari series, Oyasumi Punpun, Made in Abyss, Tokyo Ghoul, Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass and many more, all of which I think are 10/10s. The fact that I put Mushoku Tensei above all of these series says a lot about how much I adore MT and is a testament to how amazing it is. In the end though, it's all up to personal preference, I guess.
@@hybridnotions bruh all of those were a bunch of mainstream stuffs.
Finally, been waiting for this for a while.
Let this be a lesson on what delay anime a year can do to help it in a good way and not rush for a manga end.
the promised neverland s2 was delayed quite a lot, but they still flopped it...
idk who was responsible for butchering it, but still....
Yo, this video is so good. It's so rare to find someone who talks about production and who animated what. I love this.
I had my doubts at first, but when I decided to look past rudy's shortcomings then I saw everything great about this show. It is as if it was made to reward those who could get behind the flaws of the story.
rudy is big plus to mushoku tensei it isn't a flaw
@@n1h1luss61 i mean... the story does have flows in terms of writing, but yeah, rudy is not one of these, if anything, rudy is the best written part of the show, he's as real as it gets, as(maybe slightly more?) flawed as a real person, but with struggles he is conscious about and hates himself for it.
it's not an easy character to empathize with, and if you do, you're likely someone who's going/has gone trough lots of problems themselves, now add in that most people want to relate to characters to feel good, and when half doesn't manage to get in the shoes of rudy and the other half can but hates it because it's not the fantasy they wanted... of course rudy ends up getting a lot of flak, he's not a good person after all and all the way to the moment he comes to term with his new father he tends to act like he's the protagonist of the world, doing and acting in a way that only brings him/his group advantage, but even that changes as a part of his growth, and yes, this kind of people exist in real life.
the difference is that people somehow see this prospect as something that makes them enjoy the eries less instead of more and i don't get why, am i weird for thinking that seeing the growth of someone into a better person while we can see their struggles, dilemmas and flawed reasoning is something beautiful? you don't get that kind of insight in every show these days, and few actually managed to give me that honestly: houseki no kuni, re:zero, a bit of hunter x hunter(although there it was much more subtle), a silent voice... why is it that in these series that's considered a good thing, but in mushoku not? just because the second main flaw* in this case is something that's taboo?(being a genuine pervert, not just for laughs and giggles)
*the first being how he tends to think too much only about his own gains and plans, something which however comes mainly from the prospect of being reincarnated and knowing that time is precious and not wanting to ever mess up.
@@iota-09 I think you said it perfectly
@@iota-09 I mean, people like Bojack Horseman so...
@@captainmega6310 It's funny you say that because my 3 tops favorite shows are Breaking Bad, Bojack Horseman, and Mushoku Tensei. I love me some anti-hero's, people who are broken. But what's special about Rudeus vs the other 2 is that he *does* redeem himself. He met his tragedy in his previous life already where he wasted 40 years.
Animation-wise, Mushoku is defintiely one of the best of all time because the great animation shows in all aspects. Like, it blows every other isekai out of the way in terms of animation. As much as I am in awe of the magic and action animations, I am in awe of the character animation poured into it.
I even had to replay the part where Roxy was looking at the notice board at 7:56. They properly animated her walking to the foreground by taking a few steps, the staff lagging behind with just one skip, her eyes looking and locking into one notice, and crouching down to look closer, all while her hat interacts with the board physically. I love animation and I'm trying to learn it and great character animations are just *chef's kiss*
The amount of anime shows out there (even ones with great action) that skip out on great character animation makes me think like is this even legal? Now it makes sense. Thanks for the video! I wanted to see a dive into the production of this show and I almost forgot this channel exists.
They're not playing with their budget from fight scenes, to sceneries environment representation, and even the opening. They're all lit, so good that it's anime movie level.
I've never seen it but I love that animation. It's so fluid. I might watch it just for those great movements.
All the respect to talk about a show that you dont personnaly like and still give an objective spotlight on the production behind it. Keep up the good work!
Bro bro bro 86 is also a series that does this kind of treatment, and you can see a lot of it was planned out (especially the directing) tho it might not be as flashy as mushoku it's satisfying to see 2 of the best light novel adaptations in the same year
I am worried about production issues in the second cour, but it's still far and above most Kadokawa adaptations. Getting Shirogumi for the mechs was a brilliant choice alone!
Your channel truly deserve more subs. Unlike some anituber, you really explain the development of anime and is a lot more interesting
I know viewer count will be less, but if this video was 20 minutes longer I would have loved it more!!
Rudeus is deplorable, yes, and I've stuck with Mushoku Tensei not because of him but because I knew from the first two episodes that this show's themes are much deeper and more holistic than most isekais out there. Now, looking back from the latest episode, I can clearly see why Rudeus was written that way. The pay-off is phenomenal.
The source material was great so they tried to match the animation production to its standards :D
its a story about redemption and character growing, not only from rudeus but from every character in the story, droppin it after 4 episodes didnt give you enough time to see that, i mean i hate re zero but at leat i watched the first season complete before deciding it wasnt worth whatching the second season, so just give it a shot and at least watch the first core, if you appreciate anime you wont regret it
oh now I am learning part two was released a little back now
I absolutely love this series, I was extremely sceptical up front, but after the first episode I was already in love with it and it only gets better.
I was only reading the manga (I know, the LN is leagues better), but the anime adds so much more details that the manga skips out on, it's shocking.
You'll see 2 panels, but no context in what exactly happened, and the anime fills that in in 20 seconds (break out episode).
Great video! Mushoku tensei is going to go down as one of the best anime of all time. Easily my favorite light novel of all time.
thank you for using the dance scene from osamake
I think every character in the show are incredibly well written
I know this is beyond the point of the video, but I always feel my heart break a little whenever someone mentions the quality of Re:Zero S1’s animation/production, considering how much weaker it was during the second season.
And that’s why I’m able to empathize with Canipa when he mentions hes jealous of Mushoku Tensei lol
Yeah it’s annoying, because with the team behind Mushoku Tensei still being on Re Zero I think the second season could’ve been something truly incredible instead of the overrated production we got hyped up in a large part due to the LN fans. Not saying it was bad, but there’s some production and directing issues I very conveniently don’t see in Mushoku Tensei
@@Amaling From the way Canipa put it, Whitefox only provide support, funding and industry connection for MT.
Doesn't sound like Whitefox A-team actually worked on MT. I probably put the blame on the funding instead for the production issue of Re-Zero season 2.
@@angkear6267 Yup. That's it. I've heard that people blame Mushoku for Re:Zero's issues in Season 2, but I'd much rather blame the industry at large. Sequels are rushed out way too often to try and maintain momentum, but it's often done in less than ideal conditions.
@@angkear6267 canipa doesn't researched nicely tho? Just check mushokus prodcution teams in mal or ann and compare it with re:zero s1, you can easily see so much of re:zero s1 animators were in studio bind, studio bind was a collab between egg firm and white fox with 50% of re:zero s1 team to go to bind, canipa didn't research much for this video and that is sad.
Loved your breakdown on teh animation despite your gripes on the story, or mostly, rudy, i do honestly wish you could give it a second chance, because Rudy character progression and growth are really unique in the isekai and fantasy stories from the time it aired, and that development has such pay offs such as episode 16 and 17 that can be such emotional rollercoasters, as the story is about second chances and using them, i wish you gave one to mushoku and come to appreciate it more than just one character having a lot of perviness at the start
dang following kay yu, frog kun, canipa and many more anime production fanatics, you kinda get spoiled on the next canipa vid. but nevertheless seeing a whole summary of it is still fun, if i ever need to explain how mushoku tensei existed I would just link this vid to them. keep up the good work
i mean, its an unlikeable NEET reincarnated as a new kid, plus he goes from treating the world as a game to being ingrained in it himself as he ages and grows attached to the people and family he gets to meet.
Mushoku in a nutshell is the life of Rudeus. from start to finish, and the contrast to the 2 lives he leads is beautiful

He dies alone and ostracized by everyone in his old life/Rudeus was never meant to even see the light of the day and die as a stillborn
-
Meanwhile, Rudeus grows old with a loving family and a whole host of friends around him by his death bed as he passes on for good, his job done and his family's future safely secured by his children.
-
NGL though i hope Mushoku goes on strong till we get to see the last few chapters of the WN/LN animated...Him asking for Eris, Sylphy telling him shes waiting for him...and the whole family being there for him as he loses the fight to old age, asking to stay awake just a little while longer to see everyone as he dies, the last thing he sees is Sylphy and Roxy. Its a beautiful series
it really speaks volume in how Rudy is initially pretty self serving and hard to understand others and grows into someone who can connect with others and make his own family and is so attached to them that is willing to put himself at inmense risks to keep them safe, turning point 4 and onwards is just so masterfully well done that ive read it so many times and makes me feel teh same rollercoaster of emotions each time, ive even cried reading the LN in scenes like Rudy and Paul fight, Roxy reconnecting with her parents, Rudy in front of XXX's xxve or Zenith and her own family interacting, the series is really impressive in how it wants you to feel something and makes you feel it, be it good or repulsive emotions and manages to flesh everything out
The question I care about the most is was this risk taking financially rewarded? People in suits don't decide to fund crappy shows because the have a vendetta against good things. They do it cause they think they'll make more money that way. If a better show ends up making more money, I see more hope for more good shows in the future.
i think the risk is rewrded cause it is populor in japan and BD are more expensive than normal BDs and it still sells
The webnovel was the number 1 most popular novel on a site for like 5 years wasn't it?
Plus I think the animators were a massive fan of it so it could've been less of a risk of people enjoying it, but more on how well they can make it to live up to their expectations since they're fans themselves.
That being said, I don't know any of them personally but it's a possibility
If it's good enough financially then it's work enjoyment that matter and hell it would have been a hell of a ride for creater and satisfaction in end, and if they loved there work it's a memory of lifetime now, sometimes you just love your work.
There isn't enough people mentioning the sound design. The sounds bring such a nice touch to everything.The Ghislane scene where she saves Rudy and Eris from the kidnappers by obviously moving faster than sound creates a sonic boom and we hear it, not only do we hear it but Rudy goes deaf for a few seconds because of it. The water, grass, steps everything sounds natural. There wasn't a moment where I thought "oh I've head that before" like we see with One Piece and DB where a lot of sfx are used in both shows.
Soundtracks, Intros and Outros?
One Word: Magic!
"They needed Studio White Fox."
(plays epic montage with epic music)
"But they were busy"
God, I love this man
I love this show so damn much!! Everything is great!
The pastel-y look of Mushuko is the reason i loved it
Such a great show deserves recognition. Its just sad its not even nominated as Best Anime of the Year.
"Fantasy isn't just a mere mode of escapism, sometimes it could also be a profound Way of Understanding." - That's just what I always feel about this genre.
and "Mushoku Tensei" indeed incapsulates it all. Truly, what an experience it was. Somehow, the series reminds me of "Records of Lodoss war". No matter, I'm just glad that I got to live a second life through the 'World of Mushoku Tensei' and it's characters in my lifetime.
Thank you for making this video Sir.
Godspeed Rifujin Sensei...🍁
Just finished the first season and caught up with the second
It's refreshing to hear you perform scripts from somebody else. Good job Fiance-kun!
I have to admit, when I saw the teaser I thought this is gonna be another one of those isekais that has overflooded the anime industry. I did not read the LN and I only watched the first episode to see how it's gonna fail to impress me. They got me hooked on that water spell, you can barely see the cgi and I thought that it was anime movie level
🔥 break down
I like how this guy doesn't like Mushoku Tensei but he still respects it.
when the animators fight on what cut scenes they want to animate then you know the anime is going to be fire. eg- opm s1,demon slayer s1, fate ,
Looks good and cool.
It is incredible what a Studio can do if they are given enough time.
That just makes me respect Studios like Mappa or Ufotable who are incredible too but have a lot less time
I didn't like Rudeus at the beginning, tho I never thought of dropping the anime, I really encourage anyone that dropped it because of that to try again. The character is suppose to be a trash of human being, but I've discovered that the whole point of the series is to watch him evolve and transform in someone that, me personally, admire. I'm currently reading the 22th novel and men this story is so fkng good that I can't believe it.
My one hope from this series is that it sets a higher standard for adaptations, as I've started to get more into reading manga adaptations and even the source light novels I've started to notice a growing number of bad Light novel adaptation anime are mostly bad because of their adaptations undermining the strengths of the source material.
Besides the obvious production issues in the form of off-model & choppy animation, over abundance of CG and weird storyboarding, the anime adaptation of So I'm a Spider, So What? anime adaptation felt just poorly planned out, with what were fan favourite aspects of the source material failing to hit their mark, be it in the very toned down depiction of Kumoko's struggle, giving her the spiderman web shooting abilities from basically the get go when in the source she had to be extremely meticulous about setting her traps due to the limitations of her abilities with every fight being a life-or death-challenge with the odds stacked against her favour for the longest time to the point the average reader didn't question when she would finally get OP because it was clearly not happening anytime soon. The whole narrative structure that balances the 2 stories which feed valuable info to one another crumbling due to original scenes and cut ones misaligning the two sides said cuts on the human story side also just ruining any investment people would have had in the cast of that story all culminating in making the big plot twist at the end of Volume 5 the anime tried to get to so badly in it's 24 episodes feel way less surprising.
This season's Faraway Paladin (Disclaimer: I'm only up to episode 4) struggles with pacing the events of the story as it tires to cram in as many moments as possible in a time frame too short for any of them to breathe and sink in, this makes it hard to keep up with what's going on and makes it feel slow despite going so fast because it feels like not as much has happened as well as making it harder to get attached to the family.
"Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average" anime opted to scrub anything interesting like the nanomachines and anything worldbuilding related as well as make simplify characters, skip the entire introduction remove any nuance from the villains to the point of cartoonish evil, while the source material wasn't on the level as the previous two I mentioned it was still very much decent and an enjoyable read while the anime was more around the bottom of mediocrity.
Of course there's exceptions besides Mushoku Tensei like Saint's Magic is Omnipotent which aside from some missing some small details about the making of the potions and the magic system basically stayed true to it's source material with good pacing and solid visuals, managing to adapt the appeal and experience, if you'd enjoy the source to an extent then you'd probably enjoy the adaptation to the same extent. Which I think is paramount to a good adaptation.
May i know recruiting super star animators in one show is easy job?
So anime need more budget than average?
Am TOTALLY AGREE with you, I dint like it at the beginning, not a Isekai Fan, but the animation and the characters design fights, magic this series Got Everything Right, and yep way better animated than the last season of the Slime, that I also watched. Is always great to watch your videos Cheer from Australia
I separate (filters) 3 views in this series, Rudeus with his "old" MC projection, Rudeus as new MC and world building. The second and third that allure me into this series, I could omit any nonsensical jokes they created like how perv he is, because its something that shouldn't be focus on and it is not important to me. you got to filter some shit to see some diamonds
waiting for Lightning in volume 23 to get animated
It’s funny how re zero animation studio was somewhat behind Mushoku’s anime production. The authors for mushoku and re zero are friends and the ending of mushoku is somewhat inspired by the series
I liked rudy from the very first episode don’t get me wrong he’s no saint and he definitely does some messed up stuff but I saw a real person in him not some cookie cutter character let’s face it most people out there in our world could be considered trash and if you go on to read the light novel you get to see him grow into a better person he’s still no saint but better then he was before and maybe thats all you can actually ask out of people that they at the very least end up being a bit better then what they were before
You should do an animation breakdown for Netflix arcane! That show has some of the best 3D animation I've ever seen
That's the plan!
@@TheCanipaEffect oh in that case I'm looking forward to it. I subscribe to your channel by the way.
i get you on rudy, the show is good, i really like it and want more of my friend to watch this, but being rudy that he is, its hard for me to sell this to my friend especially when the studio also sometimes focus on ecchi scenes with eris.
also, i hope in the distant future, berserk will able to get remake of this level
Haven't watched Part 2 of the first season yet. Can I watch this video without getting spoiled?
wish i got an answer. really wanna watch the vid but afraid of getting spoiled. time will tell i guess
@@ilay_ux No, though you can just watch all the episodes in a couple of hours, and then binge the LN, and the WN.
@@RionAgrias thank you. I finished S1 P2 yesterday and I'm gonna finish this video now :)
i hope they can make the whole show,up until its ending
I decided to watch the show and read some of the manga when I saw a clip of his interaction with the Demon Lord.
Waited for this for a while, I feel bad though LOL
I'm in love with this serie, but like Monogatari Series i can't recommend it to anyone hahaha. But still, one of the best anime/Isekai of
Can we just talk about the bread animation? Anyone?
Ah yes, that was some absolutely delicious bread. I swear I could taste and smell it through the screen.
Must be a life saver that frog made the script, this would have made cracks in the masks
Wow did u guys hear that studio bind is animating seven deadly sin
Other LN anime should take notes
Im just starting the 18th volume of the LN, this is no doubt my favourite isekai and top 3 anime. Need to read Re:Zero, sinces its also in my top 3 anime.
I like when a villain is the protagonist
Please do "Breaking Down Amazarashi MV's Incredible Animation."
well, it's fine if you don't enjoy mushoku tensei (to me, it's your loss), but i'm wondering if you have things planned for kumo desu ga nani ka? it's my second favorite isekai story after mushoku and the adaptation was... mostly ok with some noticeable hiccups, might be interesting knowing what happened with the studio there
ok? I think it got terrible adaptation, though VA and music was great
Goat story getting a goat adaptation
This guy loves slime anime. He can not be wrong about this.
2:39 what is this soudtrack
It's called Paul Vs. Rudy.
You know a fandom is fucked when a video explaining the production process of an anime is filled with comments about the MC. ALL BECAUSE OF A SINGLE COMMENT IN THE VIDEO! I have nothing against MT, in fact I like the show. But holy shit this fandom is the worst I've seen outside of shounen series. Amazing job as always Canipa Effect, shame to see so many people caring more about a single opinion than the people behind this masterpiece of an art.
Rudues is one of Mushoku Tensei greatest weapon and yet he is also it's greatest weakness
Despite preferring several scenes the way the Manga handled them, this anime has one of the most attention to detail by far especially as an isekai anime
Trust me Rudy is gonna become better and more mature in the future. And when that gets animated please give it a shot :)
please make video of gohands studio
"But they where busy"wow
I hope Mushoku Tensei & Studio Bind set a gold standard for the anime industry. Their quality has been on the anime film level.
I almost dropped the anime at episode 4 as well, that episode left a bad taste and I have to force myself to start a new episode every week, but, it is worth it, even with that, it became one of my top tens, every episode is like a punch in the guts but I love it
nonetheless.
What happened ep 4, I forgot
@@moetezouelhazi5699 Paul slept with the maid
@@Jaknaboi ah
Its funny to me how episode 4 is the deal breaker for some people.
For me it was the episode that sealed the deal for me that this is going to be a truly amazing series.
The dialogue between family members, the VERY realistic family dynamic after such an "event" and the absolutely horrifc portrayal of a 40-something in a childs body manipulating his own mother to see past the actions of a cheating father.
Sure that stuff is fucked up, very much indeed.
But its fiction.
Very well written fiction.
That's why it got such an amazing adaptation.
You know yourself that you have a good taste when it comes to Isekais when you enjoy series like Re zero and Mushoku tensei.
ReZero is mid
Great video. But it would have been better if it was made after that crazy episode 21 with crazy animation.
Do please, just for one more time... review episode 21 animation.
