A quick note, both ReZeros and Konosuba’s authors are massive fans of this series. Tappei was also tweeting the entire time the first episode was airing.
Almost every author from Syosetuka ni Narou are fans of Mushoku Tensei, no lie. Re:Zero, Konosuba, Slime, Spider, Shield Hero, Bookworm, Log Horizon, Arifureta, etc, etc... are all novels that ran on that website. And Mushoku Tensei was the No.1 novel on that site for its ENTIRE RUN. It was voted the most popular month after month for five years. None of the above series came close to dethroning MT from the top spot while it was serialized. That's how influential Mushoku Tensei is to Narou novels, and the Isekai scene as a whole.
The author of mushoku tensei and rezero are friends. Both series released around the same time and gained popularity along side each other. Mushoku tensei holding the top spot in the light novel rankings for around 5 years
The studio who is doing this series, was basically created for it. Its a very new studio, if u go look for it And, my god, their job has been jawdropping
@@HanabiraKage they're not new but its their FIRST standalone anime, most of the anime they worked on, they only helped in and did not completely make by themselves. very impressive for a first show
They have experience idiot, they have work helping other studios, it's impossible for an anime studio to make their 1 anime without previous experience. I do not hate you, but I hate your ignorance, you need to research a bit more, this studio is not entirely new, they have worked for a while.
@@Arekiris they mean the truck-kun trope and also this plummeted the genre into limelight. The earlier times that you're referring, Isekai wasn't really established as a genre.
The Manga is reallllllly good, it isnt just mindless OP mc, theres an actual story, character development, it's funny and this animation is going to make it amazing
@ ah I meant 2nd cour not season 2 but yeah looking at the cover it does look like that. Just to me it seems a little rushed, but again this studio was made specifically for mushoku tensei so I really shouldn’t be worried
@@luisreynamboarcos2958 Yeah thats what makes the writing different from a generic isekai animes the main character doesn't forget about his past life and its shapes who he becomes in this new world.
@@andergarcia4953 Their is another Isekai called Death Mage who Doesn't want a fourth which has the premise of multiple worlds and reincarnations and where those worlds don't get forgotten by the main character.
Same. I also love how, despite his talent with magic, he was (re)born with a disadvantage that makes it hard for him to be a swordsman(like his new father wanted him to be).
If i can nail it down it was a sense of progress. Many Isekai is immediately get OP power so they only need master it or even just stealing skill like arifureta and tensei. In mushoku the MC literally studying the basic added it with previous knowledge to achieve better result.
@@hopelove897 Most people who hate isekai these days have been exposed to the countless shitty bootleg adaptations, that's why their tastes have been soured.
Yeah, at some point it became a contest of who has the better starting skill. And once reincarnated as a slime clinched that with rimurus ability to take absorb other skills, it became who can make a better version of that same ability.
@@kirkpatrikballares3291 Elementary, Intermediate, Advance, Saint, King, Emperor, God.. Well he manage to be Saint class mage just at water class magic the other just still at intermediate..

There is others can do it later on) Compared to Rimuru he from before meets Veldora already kind of OP lols.. Also note : he just get to intermediate lvl before he meet roxy.. learned it from teacher make it much easier to learn..
@@kirkpatrikballares3291 I don't think slime started the trend for that ability. I think Re:monster came before slime. and this is just considering the isekai anime. who knows where it has been used before
@@zen-mm5hn yep, water would still be the highest tier of magic he learn in his life, tho he does get more experience using earth on a practical sense, so both of those is his main expertise.
Just to let everyone know that this is the god Father of Isekai, all the tropes were because of this, even still, the story and writing still surpasses many newer isekais, now you can imagine how good this is.
The one thing i found most intriguing about the anime is how human every character feels like the unexpecting scene of the parents going at it, they gave off human nature i haven't really seen in anime except for a few
The funny thing is that historically, separate rooms is a pretty modern commodity in European house design. In the feudal era, open layouts were the norm and they'd be making his sister with him in the room.
i wonder whether he'd still voice rudeus when he get older, I have a feeling he wont. as child rudy is already quite different sounding than his past self,.
One thing I really liked about the show is that it does not remove all the flaws in Rudy's character from his past. The show still treats him as the same adult just in child's body, with the same character flaws and outlook on women. It might be somewhat uncomfortable to watch a child behaving as such, but it allows a path for the character to grow with time and experience in to a better person. One clear example of this was how Rudy's view of Roxy changed from Episode 1 to 2. He initially only saw her as a source of sexual gratification, but by the time she left, he developed a new found respect and genuine gratefulness for her. I hope the show keeps doing that ahead.
Finally! I was waiting for this review! The animation is amazing. It’s crazy to think that this is the studio’s first work.. anyway, much love from Japan! ✨

It's good to see the series that started this wonderful legacy. So much drama made from it, so much relief. Its so good to see Truck-Kun in his very first role. The *impact* he has is great.
It's a shame that people are just brushing it off as another isekai, when in reality it was this show's original source was the one of the first that laid the foundation for isekai and did it better than 95 percent of it's successors. I'm so happy that it's wonderfully adapted

"If its the grandfather of ISekai, why hasn't anybody adapt it?" some of you may wonder? because its too daunting of a series to adapt. The series spanned over 20+ volumes and cover the life of Rudeus from 0 to over 25+ years old, there's many different arcs that relates to each other, if anyone want to adapt this properly. it has to go with like, 4,5 seasons with over 75+ episodes, yes its as long as what shonen series wants, but each and every episode of it is filled to the brim with content and purpose, theres no filler at all, so there's really no cutting corner on any of them Thats why a new studio taking this task is both a good and a bad thing, one nobody knows how they'd actually be, but also 1st outing of a new studio is exactly where they'd put their utmost effort in, so yeah. I'm looking forward to it.
I've read most of the WN (I'm on vol 20 of 25) and I can safely say it is a very good series. Especially the start of his adult arc (teenage arc is good too).
I'm sooooooSOOOOO happy you did a video on this. I checked out the first episode and man do I FUCKING love it. Wonderful wonderul start too this series. Can't wait too watch more.
This is an example of an Isekai that’s done right/well, not perfect but done ina way that doesn’t feel like other isekai? It’s like it’s not using the usual RPG things in it, example, skill points, a level system, it’s like life, you have to work hard and gain experience to progress, it honestly feels like a different world and like Chibi said, it’s nice seeing something different
@@arjunts7646 here an example of Truck-kun, it was used for a magical girl show called « Gigi « around 1982, that magical girl got hit by truck-kun and died x)
@@arjunts7646 she was reincarnated but don’t remember where lol, but my point was not about the « genre » of the anime just about the use of truck-kun trope ^^
God, please stay away from reading spoilers anywhere Chibi. This series is so fantastically good that you should keep yourself COMPLETELY blind for the anime. I’d even say it’s worth waiting for the second series without reading the light novel because so far they’ve adapted it so, so perfectly!
this is the series that was so good that it made me start reading light novels. i read the manga for this like 2 years ago and was cliff hanged so badly that it made me think of this series for weeks on end and just settled to just wait for the manga. but since it was quarantine I decided why not try reading the light novel, and i did i was so hooked in the story that i stayed up 24 hrs just reading it I probably stayed up for a lot longer but, I forgot the concept of time while i was reading it, it was like the sacred text of the holy church for me. That 1st day of reading was pure bliss even if it was my 1st time reading a light novel I was so engrossed and so passionate about reading it and then i spent the over 2 months reading it and trying to hold myself back to not finish it so quickly. It was like getting lost in another world and i enjoyed every single word, sentence, chapter, and volume of it. tldr: Just a passionate mumbling of an addicted reader. :)
I had no idea you were gonna review this because it could look like the average power trope isekai but TRUST ME this series only keeps giving and giving and my favorite part is you get to watch Rudy become the OP MC
The reason it isn't anything new because it's the light novel that popularized all the stuff we consider cliche in isekai. This light novel laid the groundwork for most isekai that came after it.
8:57 DUDE, YOU NEED TO SEE THAT SERIES NOW! Its WAY too good for what I was expecting it to be, I could even call it a classic of isekai because of how well written it is (ok, maybe Im exaggerating a bit, but its seriously good!)
Around 12:50 is exactly the issue I saw in "Didn't I Say to Make my Abilities Average!?" It was a lot more properly explained in volume 1 of the light novel that in that world that was exactly the issue. The public couldn't cast spells without the incantations. So much so that when Mile taught her three friends in the academy before the incident that caused her to become an Adventurer, she taught them how to imagine and cast their magic without incantations it got strong enough that they could change their very paths in life.
Been saying this for years... i will never understand why they adapted all the less interesting ones before adapting this. Like i love Isekai Smartphone as a novel, it's super fun... but it isn't exactly great writing. Mushoku has great characters, from the MC all the way to the minor side characters. I feel that people who get super upset at Rudy being a bit ecchi are really missing out, but that's on them i guess.
Prob you won't see this but reading this story really is my number one. When I read it I wondered how they were going to anime it. As the biggest part of the story is the inner monologue like it 3/4th the story. Is held in the details. Once the anime is over I'd 100% recommend reading it from the start.
Spoiler concerning Roxy's age: She's almost 40 years old during Rudi's 5th birthday (she just ages differently because she's from a certain demon tribe)
I just watched it this morning. It's beautiful, it's refreshing and the animation is amazing. In fact, the animation is far better than most of the shows that came out. Looks very promising and will be waiting for more episodes to come out.
@@hanismh2695 I have completed the whole WN including redundancy and jobless oblige, if you're talking about Paul cheating then yeah, but not really dark
Amazing world building, great plot, not just "oH iM a MaIN cHArCteR iM StUPiDly sTRoNg fOR nO ReaSOn", actual proper romance, great drama, etc. Just watch it, i just hope they dont make the anime bad, they better make it as good as the manga.
The manga is alright, the anime is already better than the manga. The pace is slower but it fleshes the characters out better Really hype for best girl eris next episode
Love this anime , it blew my expectations way out of the water...the animation is gorgeous, story seems great so far, and I love the way they didn’t stray away from the echi/adult themes but didn’t do it in a cheap way to get views and counts just on that. They did it in a refined way. I’m looking forward to where this goes and the academy.
"There is nothing new" There a reason for that, the Light novel it's based isn't just old it basically Ground Zero for modern Isekai, it not just have Truck-kun it why other Isekai have Truck-kun etc
it started the isekai trend not because its the first to be written but because it ranked first in syosetu, a platform like wattpad where amateur writers can submit their novel online, for a very long time.(even topping novels such as Rezero, Overlord and Konosuba) These people realized that isekai stories can make you a successful writer and have your novel be published and thats why there literally have thousands of these isekai nowadays. Thats how popular Mushoku Tensei in web novel industry back then.

I think the thing with Main characters that are OP is that authors often don't understand it's only a tool for writing (being op) it's not the entire plot, you can definitely make a great op character as long as you know that the OP of the character is just it, a trait, not the whole story. and the best authors that do understand this, can definitely make something amazing
My favorite part of the first two episodes was definitely the overcoming of past traumas right before the graduation test. Well written and animated so far i hope it keeps up the quality!
This is how you make a good Isekai
Ofc
The manga was good for me
Until I read Chapter 5
But i hope the animators are ok.
Because the studio has a lot of series in it.
Chibi you need to review this series
PS roxi will return
Of course its a good isekai UT WAS THE FIRST MODERN ISEKAI EVER CREATED, ITS THE TREND STARTER
A quick note, both ReZeros and Konosuba’s authors are massive fans of this series. Tappei was also tweeting the entire time the first episode was airing.
thats cool
The author of this series and Re:zero are also friends IRL.
I'm pretty the author of OverLord was also heavily inspired by Mushoku Tensei.
i mean that is pretty expected since this was the source of almost all the isekai tropes as the origin of most web novel isekai reincarnation.
Almost every author from Syosetuka ni Narou are fans of Mushoku Tensei, no lie.

Great reccomendation here. This is QUALITY. Im talking the most pleasurable experience I've had with a new anime an a long while. Thanks.
I've read most of the WN (I'm on vol 20 of 25) and I can safely say it is a very good series. Especially the start of his adult arc (teenage arc is good too).
hes growing up? damn now i cant wait for more since we get 24 episodes how many do you think they will make is there stuff for more than 2 seasons?
@@dragnarok4286 I'm not sure how fast they'll speed through some parts, but there is definitely enough for 2 or more seasons.
This anime is absolutely amazing so far hopefully it continues on the right path and gets the attention it deserves
love it for not knowing what it was and just going in.
I Want more.
I have been praying to the gods you review this series like I’ve never craved a isekai like this before it’s soo raw😍
the mcs voice actor makes it even good cuz its tomokazu sugita gintokis va lol
Yess glad u reacted to it!!!!!
so this is where truck-kun started it's career
I'm sooooooSOOOOO happy you did a video on this. I checked out the first episode and man do I FUCKING love it. Wonderful wonderul start too this series. Can't wait too watch more.
this series makes you cry and angry as much as it makes you laugh, its easily one of the best
Orsted the Dragon God Approves of this Review
This is an example of an Isekai that’s done right/well, not perfect but done ina way that doesn’t feel like other isekai?
It’s like it’s not using the usual RPG things in it, example, skill points, a level system, it’s like life, you have to work hard and gain experience to progress, it honestly feels like a different world
and like Chibi said, it’s nice seeing something different
Have u watch grimgar of ash and fantasy?
@@yc3692 , yeah I have
Yeah I am excited to see the off-grid scenes in the hub soon
For anyone interested: This is an OG isekai, which birthed the Truck-kun trope and meme.
I would say this anime is a classical isekai but definitely not the og isekai
@Omega Zero Which series featured the truck kun before MT.
@@arjunts7646 here an example of Truck-kun, it was used for a magical girl show called « Gigi « around 1982, that magical girl got hit by truck-kun and died x)
@@raki6788 was she reincarnated into an another world. Unless that happened, it isnt an Isekai
@@arjunts7646 she was reincarnated but don’t remember where lol, but my point was not about the « genre » of the anime just about the use of truck-kun trope ^^
God, please stay away from reading spoilers anywhere Chibi. This series is so fantastically good that you should keep yourself COMPLETELY blind for the anime. I’d even say it’s worth waiting for the second series without reading the light novel because so far they’ve adapted it so, so perfectly!
Overlord started the OP from the beginning trend.
Mushing Tensei started truck-kun trend.
Saw it two weeks ago and really really enjoyed it
I forgot that I read this long ago. It’s a really great series.
this is the series that was so good that it made me start reading light novels.
i read the manga for this like 2 years ago and was cliff hanged so badly that it made me think of this series for weeks on end and just settled to just wait for the manga. but since it was quarantine I decided why not try reading the light novel, and i did i was so hooked in the story that i stayed up 24 hrs just reading it I probably stayed up for a lot longer but, I forgot the concept of time while i was reading it, it was like the sacred text of the holy church for me. That 1st day of reading was pure bliss even if it was my 1st time reading a light novel I was so engrossed and so passionate about reading it and then i spent the over 2 months reading it and trying to hold myself back to not finish it so quickly. It was like getting lost in another world and i enjoyed every single word, sentence, chapter, and volume of it.
tldr: Just a passionate mumbling of an addicted reader. :)
Hope for more zighard chapters
It's got gintokis Voice acter
Need I say more
I had no idea you were gonna review this because it could look like the average power trope isekai but TRUST ME this series only keeps giving and giving and my favorite part is you get to watch Rudy become the OP MC
The reason it isn't anything new because it's the light novel that popularized all the stuff we consider cliche in isekai. This light novel laid the groundwork for most isekai that came after it.
8:57 DUDE, YOU NEED TO SEE THAT SERIES NOW! Its WAY too good for what I was expecting it to be, I could even call it a classic of isekai because of how well written it is (ok, maybe Im exaggerating a bit, but its seriously good!)
Yea it's pretty good it's a rare isekai done right
I am sooo glad someone is going over this anime. Its starting out strong and fantastic.
When he said “I like issekai trash”, in my head I said “ I can relate”.
Finally someone is talking about this anime. Thank you vey much!!!!
I guess you can say Roxy had a touching moment 😬👌🏻😂
Best girl Roxy
Lmao
Around 12:50 is exactly the issue I saw in "Didn't I Say to Make my Abilities Average!?" It was a lot more properly explained in volume 1 of the light novel that in that world that was exactly the issue. The public couldn't cast spells without the incantations. So much so that when Mile taught her three friends in the academy before the incident that caused her to become an Adventurer, she taught them how to imagine and cast their magic without incantations it got strong enough that they could change their very paths in life.
Been saying this for years... i will never understand why they adapted all the less interesting ones before adapting this. Like i love Isekai Smartphone as a novel, it's super fun... but it isn't exactly great writing. Mushoku has great characters, from the MC all the way to the minor side characters.
I feel that people who get super upset at Rudy being a bit ecchi are really missing out, but that's on them i guess.
Prob you won't see this but reading this story really is my number one. When I read it I wondered how they were going to anime it. As the biggest part of the story is the inner monologue like it 3/4th the story. Is held in the details. Once the anime is over I'd 100% recommend reading it from the start.
Spoiler concerning Roxy's age:
She's almost 40 years old during Rudi's 5th birthday (she just ages differently because she's from a certain demon tribe)
eyo what the fuk
@@andszy2931 *A N I M E.*
@@dudeamazed1236 damn fr like ive seen shit with ages worse then this but this, this really caught my ass off guard
@@andszy2931 Lmao
@raynaldo arlen k.eman nope but im just really surprised about this one
I just watched it this morning. It's beautiful, it's refreshing and the animation is amazing. In fact, the animation is far better than most of the shows that came out. Looks very promising and will be waiting for more episodes to come out.
The animation is really amazing and the more it has its charm, graphically and everything I like a lot !
The new studio: Studio Bind
They finally made 'The Beginning After the End' an anime
sweet..
TBATE was inspired by this series and this is more darker.
@Omega Zero I was saying it as a joke. Oh I didn't know that this inspired TBATE, interesting....
@@hanismh2695 mushoku tensei is not really that dark
@@Zale1313 Really even at the beginning theres NTR stuff.You must have been reading the manga which skipped a lot of content from the light novels.
@@hanismh2695 I have completed the whole WN including redundancy and jobless oblige, if you're talking about Paul cheating then yeah, but not really dark
It's the Isekai of Isekai for a reason. Glad to know you're enjoying it.
Chibi: is there gonna be a demon lord
Mushoku tensei: well how about a human god instead
*Spoiler alert*
Finally some praise for this amazing series!
Amazing world building, great plot, not just "oH iM a MaIN cHArCteR iM StUPiDly sTRoNg fOR nO ReaSOn", actual proper romance, great drama, etc. Just watch it, i just hope they dont make the anime bad, they better make it as good as the manga.
The manga is alright, the anime is already better than the manga. The pace is slower but it fleshes the characters out better
Really hype for best girl eris next episode
GuettaSCO im just hoping they dont fuck it up and becomes like god of highschool
Takaishi Sakuragi no. He becomes kinda OP but there's also like a bunch of other even more OP characters
Love this anime , it blew my expectations way out of the water...the animation is gorgeous, story seems great so far, and I love the way they didn’t stray away from the echi/adult themes but didn’t do it in a cheap way to get views and counts just on that. They did it in a refined way. I’m looking forward to where this goes and the academy.
AniNews has been hyping this series for the entire 2020
Hmmm, this looks interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for this one
"There is nothing new"
There a reason for that, the Light novel it's based isn't just old it basically Ground Zero for modern Isekai, it not just have Truck-kun it why other Isekai have Truck-kun etc
yeah, it's awesome, I can't wait for the next episode
The origin of Isekai, the greatest of them all
After watching the first episode I read the light novel and I can now say that it's beyond what I had imagined.
Well wasn't Jobless Reincarnation the original Isekai?
Yes
Of modern isekai of staying in the new world without a quest to go back to earth.
Thats probably like digimon, but a pioneer.
That would be Alice in Wonderland
Not original isekai, maybe for modern isekai, but popularized it and kinda started the 'isekai boom' on web novel community
I’ve read the whole thing and it is a fun journey. Interesting to hear your perspective and where you think it may go. It gets better and better.
the manga is something else in a strange way.
How so?
@@dragonslayer6974 have you read it?
No, but I don't mind spoilers.
@@dragonslayer6974 you should read and you'll understand lol
@@dragonslayer6974 its ecchi
11:45 um about that...
Spoiler from manga:
Roxy is the same as Rudy is mentally, she's stated as being 44 when he is 10 and he died when he was 34.
Roxy Religion anyone?
YES ROXY BEST GIRL
I agree, this anime hits differently without a thought!!!🎉🎉🎉
Re:zero web novel came 6 month before mushoku tensei stop saying this anime is the grandfather of isekai
This comment for those who think like that
Mushoku tensei generated the concept of truck kun u know what I mean
Well this series produce a lot of series that are based on this series so... Yeah literally grandfather of modern Isekai
@@vincentsudario3322 they copied this anime that did not mean mushoku tensei is the grandfather of all isekai
it started the isekai trend not because its the first to be written but because it ranked first in syosetu, a platform like wattpad where amateur writers can submit their novel online, for a very long time.(even topping novels such as Rezero, Overlord and Konosuba)
These people realized that isekai stories can make you a successful writer and have your novel be published and thats why there literally have thousands of these isekai nowadays. Thats how popular Mushoku Tensei in web novel industry back then.
@@JDCSM sao anime success actually blew up isekai genre and as for mushoku it feels mid because most of the anime already released that concept
Finally it's here after so long. The story that started the isekai web novel trend. And the animation really did it justice.
Re zeros, web novel came 7 months earlier than Mushoku tho.
@@RoanoraZoro123 it started the isekai trend not because its the first to be written but because it ranked first in syosetu, a platform like wattpad where amateur writers can submit their novel online, for a very long time.

@@RoanoraZoro123 yea but rezero never get the popularity near mushoku tensei, before the anime boost ofc
@@kiroo886 I wish re zero wasn't popular. Alot of toxic people in the Fandom.
I think the thing with Main characters that are OP is that authors often don't understand it's only a tool for writing (being op) it's not the entire plot, you can definitely make a great op character as long as you know that the OP of the character is just it, a trait, not the whole story.
and the best authors that do understand this, can definitely make something amazing
and it’s a LOT better when he becomes “OP” through years of hard work, study and practice. Mushoku Tensei did this beautifully
@@p4ul.e970
no exactly, it's two different stories, you need to use the plot tools that can help you best depends on the story
The animation looks beautiful.
Just wait, this gets really good as you keep going
Finally a Mushoku Tensei reviews! This made my day! Thank you
Already one of my favorite Isekai's
My favorite part of the first two episodes was definitely the overcoming of past traumas right before the graduation test. Well written and animated so far i hope it keeps up the quality!
