If you think this show is even close to slime or Konosuba you should stop watching anime. It’s below Aristocrat reincarnation currently too. 7th prince isn’t technically an isekai but it’s a reincarnation and it’s better too. Episode was 5/10.

yup i was expecting to get jump scared from that doll and i almost did haha.

its good to have the GOAT back. pretty fun episode. we picked up right where we left off 6 months back. i feel it really hard to imagine that 6 months are finally over, april is here and i've watched new episode already.

it warms my heart seeing every rudy x slyphie romantic scene. so happy for rudy

10/10. looking forward to next episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

@swagxmagician what's your reasoning? i only see an uncultured person talking


“Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.”

Most overhyped is*kei is back. Love how hard this series tries to portray "comfy" relationships when it's bereft of any genuine emotion, especially involving the MC's contrived love life. The worst of them of course being his relationship with Sylphie which is founded almost entirely on a fraudulent bedrock:

>Fall in love at first sight with the child MC because this is a self-insert power fantasy
>The MC is so impossibly, unrealistically dense he can't recognize you in a vizor because the plot is founded on stupid character decisions and conveniences
>You are so impossibly, unrealistically asocial that you're incapable of revealing your identity for no convincing reason thus you initiate a forced "will they won't they" dynamic because the plot is founded on stupid character decisions and conveniences
>Once you finally muster the courage to do so (only thanks to an accomplice), the MC immediately falls in love with you for no other reason than you were childhood friends despite the fact that he couldn't even recognize you wearing a vizor and started seeing you as a dude
>MC cures his teenage ED and immediately decides he wants to spend the rest of his life you

Also, it looks like production values won't go back to their S1 self, which is a problem because having decent production values compared to other isekai + shock value controversy were the reasons it even stood out and became popular.
@Esense funny for a frieren fan to open his mouth about the improbable asociability and denseness of a character

If one piece is in your favorites you have bad tastes. Midshoku is objectively the grandfather behind every bad trope in isekai, so it’s therefore bad itself

It feels so weird seeing the house for real. I've read so much about it, but I guess I had never really set an image for it in my mind. Some of the rooms inside, yes. But the house, as it looked from outside, I guess I just never really imagined how it would look.

I'm glad we're starting out the series in the most thematically correct way. By placing virgin blood inside the shrine of a pair of underaged-looking panties...truly, Mushoku Tensei gives no regard to what it's doing at all.

The house and the mechanical doll looked a lot different than what I expected reading the books. Specially the house.

Nice to have Mushoku back. Looking forward to seeing if they continue with the good adaptation.

Once again, the small and short moments where they take their time talking and exploring into even the little things and manage to make viewers curious about the surroundings reminded me why I like this anime so much. Helps that Rudeus himself is also curious about quite a lot of things lol.

Been a hot minute since I've read the books. Well adapted episode. I think they left some things out that aren't that important
Both of them are still quite young and are faced with the hardships of adulthood and what that entails. It was a bit strange for Sylphi to talk about how many kids she wants to have and in the same scene mention that she is planning to leave with Ariel for Asura in two years... those two wants do not align but as for now that's in the far future.

@Sokah that is not what he meant

He said that he's opinion holds more value because he watched more anime which is one of the most stupidest thing I've heard in a while

By his opinion all of your opinion will be inferior to me because I have more 'days' on my profile
