    As a person that had his first time cause years of ED, the way it was portalraysd was not a hand and glove fit, but it was damn close. It’s Realists approach where you metaphorically feel the literal painful grind

    So many people make it their personality to just hate on this one, but honestly it just shows their own lack of maturity for not understanding anything the show was trying to say. Mushoku Tensei tackles so many mature and heavy topics and that’s truly something that you could really appreciate from it if you understand it. Rudeuses depression and low self esteem, as well as his fragile ego, was so relatable to me. The way he learned how to move on and learned how to rebuild himself up from the beginning of the whole series was incredibly inspiring to watch. While I found the perverse comedy a little too odd for my dislike (I’m not usually a fan of fan servicey anime), I do absolutely love Mushoku Tensei as a show. The writing overall for the story as well as the cast, mainly Rudeus, was something that really made me love this show.

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

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

Learning both the joys of life as well as it's hardships, something he didn't do in his first life since he was a shut in being taken care by others. It's not about redemption.

    Bear with me on a ramble. I think the most touching part about season two is watching somebody mentally as mature as a highschooler suffer through a heartbreak of catastrophic proportions and gaining a suicidal ideation and depression. That’s so hard to come out of, as who suffered through that it is a real depiction of said ideation, and how far you can fall. The end of season 2 especially that love rudy gets hits all the notes of what I personally wish would happen to me but i may never have. Trauma is a bitch and this season really defines it.

    The relationship with Eris struck a chord with me personally. I had a relationship that played out in a way that made it a real world parallel. We met in an unfamiliar place, taught each other so much about life that we fundamentally changed each other as people, planned a future and fell in love , and competitively pushed each other to be better. Then one day we split because we were a "bad match" at the time with a loose promise to reunite later. It hit me so similarly to the way it hit this fictional character that it was uncanny. Fake smiles, over polite kindness, being dead behind the eyes, ED, and suicidal risk taking. Watching this character cope felt like looking into a black mirror fantasy version of the past 2 years of my own life. Right down to meeting an older wiser friend that big bro'd me to try and help me through it. I don't know how to explain the way watching it unfold affected me. Though I can say that watching it gave me the inspiration to take my own step forward.

    9:59 Yeah, that's what annoys me with mainstream stories the most.
    It's only about getting the a relationship (every romantic comedy). In most anime, the relationship never really starts (Naruto I guess).
    A story usually ends once they get into a relationship. Or the relationship breaks apart again (Korra S2). Or the relationship is portrayed as rather negative/annoying (Dragonball). Or the relationship just fades into background (Big Bang Theory).
    And when it comes to sex, it's usually not shown, or it's porn (MT hits a good middle ground there, just like Katawa Shoujo, which is a little more pornographic). And when they talk about sex in popular media, it's usually just a joke. It's never about real intimacy and trust.
    And they never show the consequences of sex like pregnancy and raising children.
    Another story, which mostly is about a positive relationship is the Haven game. I can really recommend it. It's also a story which takes place AFTER their adventure is basically over.

    Mushoku Tensei reminds me of those old early 2000s Visual Novels that while deep in their dark themes, are not afraid to tackle many taboo topics like in Phantom of Inferno, Hourglass of Summer, Kana Little Sister, Yume Miru Kusuri and of course School Days. Many of these visual novels I remember playing years ago in the late 2000s early 2010s long after their Japanese releases I loved them because of how they were never afraid to tackle these dark and mature themes.

    I agree with the point on marriage. Even in Western shows and media, couples are usually perpetually stuck in a "will they, won't they" type of relationship where the couple wants to grow closer but circumstances or their own feelings keep getting in the way. In contrast Mushoku Tensei is not even half way through its story yet, and the MC is already getting married. With the format of a fictional biography, who can tell what kinds of developments this kind of relationship will bring? (Except for novel readers who already know the whole story)
    Edit: Someone dropped spoilers to future seasons in the replies. Don't read if anime only.

    Season 2 was slower but yet so good. Still the best isekai till date. It's impressive to see real character development throughout the whole history. It takes it's time to make every special scene pay off.
    And yet, when you try to sell this you have to say: this entire season is about erectile dysfunction..kinda. It's a hard sell, I know. But man, as you said, the did it the right way. You just have to give it a chance. It's not only about erectile dysfunction, it's more about what's causing it, a mental block...and the relationship with Sylphie is the best part.
    Also I love how the story is not predictable at all. Like, it feels things happen and somehow the story progresses toward somewhere that you don't know what's going to be but it is still entertaining to watch and experience it. Not many shows can pull this off.

    What I find more annoying is that there's always some convenient reason he gets away with being a Muten Roshi esque persona.
    There are few instances where people close to him get put out by his behaivor(especially the Muten Roshi esque persona) which feels like the writer was afraid or didnt know to explore the otherside rejection that kind of behavior usually gets.
    He just never grows out or matured instead of being a creep. MT is subpar in tackling the issue within their wordbuilding compared to other better,mature and well written isekai like Twelve Kingdoms.
    Twelve Kingdoms is much grounded, better take on the people transported from other world trope
    I dont really hate or dislikes to wish-fulfillment narrative,but it is what makes the series notable.
    And it uses the premise that is mostly for wish-fulfillment be i5 negative and positive way and mould it better and realistic narrative.Twelve Kingdom journey is much mature take for any isekai protagonist without delving deeply into pretension path like MT did.

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

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

    This whole cour is the romance central of the series. Taking Rudy from what could arguably be the lowest point of his emotional wellbeing, through his salvation at the re-falling in love with Sylvie (while recognised as another person). However, this is also the cour for the meetings of many other fundamental relationships.
    Not only the romance of love but the romance of youth, bros 4 life, and the cherished relationships in one’s innocence. Far out, Julie is a brought slave in name, but adopted sibling in practice as Zanoba tries to grow.

    Differnce between it most isekai is the main character never develops a personality and life in new world. What happens is just go with the flow. This series the main character wants to not just explore this new world but be partial f physically and emotionally. Romances are not fake harem I save you bull shit. They are real depictions of relationships. All characters have distinct characteristics that build them up. Reason I hate isekai is because even though a guy is main character he usually pushed out by all female protagonists. This series females grow with our protagonist. Help him grow as an individual. Rudy does connect to his past but he trying to move on from the neet and actually become someone new. Main differnce from all isekai from this series is How much is not just adventure but epic struggle to discover who are ad who will be. This is should new phase towards all isekai. Cancel out all the harems and revenge stories and focus on work building where character don’t play around but fight to live another day.

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

    I fully agree. This anime is incredibly mature. I grew so tired of the same unrealistic romance you see in every anime. Either the guy has a harem but won't do anything to them, or the guy is a pervert who won't get any. It's always blushing and playing off romantic feelings as a joke with no sexual tension between characters. Sexual tension is necessary for mature relationships, it's not like you need a sex scene but you need to show off the attraction and build up real relationships have.

    I think the issue people have with the series is the underage relationships with the protagonist. Even though Rudeus improving, it is still shown time to time scenes of his immaturity (which is to be expected as people don't change these habits with ease) to the point he still got his underage sexual intercourses. He was still like 15 in his academy and even if there cultural differences in the story and real life but that is not enough from people from pointing it out and be disgusted. As Rudeus and as the other females love interest also grow physically and mentally this issue will be less prominent but because it is shown so much at the start it is off-putting for many.
