Synopsis

After the mysterious mana calamity, Rudeus Greyrat and his fierce student Eris Boreas Greyrat are teleported to the Demon Continent. There, they team up with their newfound companion Ruijerd Supardia—the former leader of the Superd's Warrior group—to form "Dead End," a successful adventurer party. Making a name for themselves, the trio journeys across the continent to make their way back home to Fittoa.

Following the advice he received from the faceless god Hitogami, Rudeus saves Kishirika Kishirisu, the Great Emperor of the Demon World, who rewards him by granting him a strange power. Now, as Rudeus masters the powerful ability that offers a number of new opportunities, it might prove to be more than what he bargained for when unexpected dangers threaten to hinder their travels.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, can we NEVER, EVER, give more than enough credit to Studio Bind, to director Manabu Okamoto, to Yuiko Oohara, to each and everyone in the Mushoku Tensei staff team for handling Rifujin no Maganote's work in a tremendous-yet-staggering, phenomenal-yet-outstanding way? Sure as hell not, because more than Studio Bind already committed to only working on THE Pioneer of Isekai and more seasons to be done in the future, Mushoku Tensei is already, but truly THE platinum benchmark standard for incredible and masterpiece-worthy Isekai stories done massively right, even if the perverseness of the MC Rudeus Greyrat continues to wear thin on those ready ... with their pitchforks to yet proclaim more SJW and cancel culture.

This review will only concern the events of the 2nd half of Mushoku Tensei, so it's best that you would've already watched the 1st half in order to get the context for the ENTIRE Season 1 combined. Spoilers be warned, though I'll try my best to keep it at the maximum of minimums in order to retain the vagueness to the excitement that lies ahead for the future potential of Mushoku Tensei as a whole.

The epic story continues with the newly-formed Dead End party of Ruijerd Superdia, Eris Boreas Greyrat and Rudeus Greyrat as they cross territories in search of the Greyrat family members who've been lost from the Teleportation Incident in the 1st half. More specifically to Rudeus, the Man-God Hitogami has given him a fair bit of tasks to do, though the intentions of it remains vague as to "show, not tell" the real reasons of why everything is done for a reason:
- The ending of the "Entry-Level Adevnturer Arc" of the recruitment of Ruijerd at clearing their name because of the curse that the Demon God Laplace has placed on the Superds;
- The "Voyage Arc" into Millishion, where the intersection happens between the Dead End party and Roxy's party with the newly acquainted dwarf magician Talhand and elf warrior Elinalise Dragonroad on the same mission, the introduction to the hilarious Demon Empress Kishirika Kishirisu, Ghislaine's Beast Race and best monke Geese Nukadia;
- The "Reunion Arc" where both father and son (Paul and Rudeus) reunite together with the already grown up sister Norn, and Roxy's homecoming back to her Migurd tribe, both to drastic results;
- The "Homecoming Arc" where the surrogate Lilia and Aisha lies in need of saving in Shirone Kingdom (that if you recall, that was hinted thorugh Roxy's letters to Rudeus while she was in the kingdom teaching the perverse young 4th Prince Pax in the 1st half), and yet another eventual Turning Point meeting one of the Seven Great Powers, the Dragon God Orsted and his companion Nanahoshi Shizuka.
And for all the same reasons that the Man-God Hitogami is trying to make a rouse of his presence, there he requests Rudeus to perform it in his stead due to the multitude of reasons why he is a bother to some that knows him too initimately. There is a clear rivalry of those against the Man-God, but we'll only know the reasons behind this in future seasons to come.

The new adjustments this round, really has to go to the character development side of things. For the most part as we know that Rudeus STILL exhibits that pervertic "man of culture" taste, he has largely improved as he matures on the journey with Ruijerd and Eris. As I've said in my review of the 1st Cour, you can hate Rudeus all you want for his overly perverse behaviour, but the 2nd Cour is really where we get to see Rudeus's major transformation from being a Lenny-eyed deviant to a much more sensible, growing up child. The journey across both sea and land into different territories has Rudeus kept on his toes each and every time, and with that progress comes the fact that his powers have substantially increased with the help of a certain empress and a certain eye. But it's the interactions of reuniting with his family members that really dictate how we interpret Rudeus from the top-down, from a pure excruciating degenerate to a mature-centric boy in spite of all that's happened since the Teleportation Incident. Even if you STILL hate Rudeus and his past, there's just no reason to not empathize with his massive growth into sensibility with the 2nd half here.

This is even so more apparent on Eris's part, as like Rudeus, she transforms from a raging red-haired loud and obnoxious bitch into someone that's growing strong, meek, playful and courageous, as certified by Ruijerd himself for relentlessly training her for the 6 years that they've been together as a party. And man, what a transformation into a beauty that Eris became ever since the day that Rudeus was introduced to her back in the 1st half. No wonder that fans of Mushoku Tensei are quick to call Eris one of the best (if not the first) MC girls alongside Roxy and Slyphiette (though their roles will come much later in the story), because from cradle to life, Eris has also seen a large improvement on her behalf from being the one that is overbearing to one that really cares for both Rudeus and Ruijerd. The 6 years of wandering in this long journey has taught Eris fundamental and elemental lessons about interdependence and supporting each other, as such with the trips like Ghislaine's Beast Race that is an exposé of of how she sees Ghislaine as compared to her original tribe and coming to an understanding, a consensus. As much as I kinda hate Eris's behaviour at the very start, the 2nd half really couldn't give more than enough dips to see why Eris holds the distinction of being the earliest "Best Girl" position in the series yet, I'm very impressed at the personal growth of Eris, both physically and mentally. And yes, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, but I need not mention the 3-letter word which feels straight up like the successor to Turning Point 1 in the 1st half.

Ruijerd though, really is something else. Being the only Superd left alive (and god knows how many of the Superd Race are still left alive), his conviction from Rudeus to help dispel the infamy of his race and put a good name to it is only driven by the fact that the Superd Race was once serving alongside the Demon God Laplace, only for that to fall into ruin and decimate the whole tribe. Now that the entire tribe is in a bad position given Laplace's influence, the conformity of Ruijerd in his once-iconic green hair is stripped away, and he assumes the new identity of cutting his hair to become a bald man, and if you know anything about symbolism, the cutting of hair means a changed person, and Ruijerd slowly overtime is both changed and changing the course of Rudeus and Eris's life spent with him in the travelling pilgrims of places. That in itself speaks to the one who is feared the most, the "Dead End", that some try their best to not put Ruijerd on a stand because of his race's detrimental history, to only end up leaving the same as per the norm. Otherwise, he's the definition of the spear warrior to beat, even though both (mostly) Eris and Rudeus train under him very vigorously to be stronger each day.

Overall really, what a show that while it's just mainly coursing the events of the Dead End party on their highs and lows, scouting danger at every turn, with it brings massive character development fleshed to the very bottom of the soul and heartpangs. Simply just could not be said that Mushoku Tensei continues to elevate itself weekly in multitude as the series get so much grandiose and better.

And what is siginificantly better for the most part is Studio Bind's efforts to adapt Mushoku Tensei to the best that the studio can under director Manabu Okamoto, and I needn't repeat myself to say that they've already made a name for themselves with the 1st half that started at the beginning of 2021. If the 1st half was just stupendously splendid, the 2nd half magnified that THOUSAND-fold to create a worthy successor of a stunning masterclass production that is always kept consistent and magnificent, especially on the action scenes which are always kept at stupidly high-octane, god-mode quality settings that are meant to just showcase the amount of unfathomable talent behind the show. Take the example of Episode 6 where there's a scene of Rudeus splitting bread, and as stupid as it seems to see a loaf of bread so superbly animated, it's just some of the many and best teasers of Mushoku Tensei yet that the animators can choose to flex the talents they have. Utterly speechless, I'm very floored.

What can I say about the OST, which has gotten only better thanks to Yuiko Oohara for composing yet once again another superb set of songs to add to the overall Mushoku Tensei OST. In case you miss the symbolism of it, each of her OP songs are composed in such a way that it reflects the regions that the Dead End party has traversed through, exact to their setting and atmopsheres. Her 2nd ED, while I still think that the 1st half's ED is still by far the best ED yet, the 2nd half is more ominous and less cheerful, that once again, is exact to the journey undertaken in this time period. You COULD NOT have asked for a better, much richer OST than the now iconic and legendary Takagi-san singer, and Yuiko Oohara only continues to impress as the series progresses to betterment.

By the time you've finished reading this review, you'd realize that I'm always saying the word 'better' a lot. But that's the exact case of the world of Mushoku Tensei, at least for the culmination of the entire Season 1 here, that we're only just at the beginning of the journey's end, and Rifujin no Maganote's story still has a lot more to go. Every season thereafter from here on out is gonna be amaze-balls (I know and feel it), always trumping the ones before it, and Studio Bind is leading that valiant chage with force. Bring it on, the future seasons that we'll gladly await upon its eventual arrival, because Mushoku Tensei is easily THE definitive anime, episode, series of the year, and I wholeheartedly stand by my decision that I will NEVER, EVER forget in years to come.

Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu came out in the early part of 2021 and was among one of the most popular anime of the year. Shocker, right? Now imagine the show getting a part 2 and achieve a similar amount of success, at least popularity wise. Popularity doesn't equate to quality and this anime isn't without controversy.

In fact, this anime is notriously known for having one of the biggest perverts in recent isekai memory. Forget guys like Issei from High School DxD or Mineta from My Hero Academia. Rudeus Greyrat is the type of pervert who puts on a poker-like gentleman face with ... no bounds. Behind that little smirk is a guy with the mentality of a 30+ year old. Ever since he's reincarnated in this new world, Rudeus has been living his life as an adventurer. Discarding his previous life, let's just say that Rudeus isn't exactly a great role model unless you're on his good side.

Of course, part 2 of Mushoku Tensei assumes you are familiar with the story already. And although it has one more episode than part 1, the anime tried to exmplify its isekai elements at every chance it gets. The structure of part 2 features an adventure following the journey of both Rudeus' party and Roxy as she looks for him. Their adventures takes them to places such as Doldia Village, Millis, among others. If you're familiar with the main cast already, be aware that overall, the characters don't change much in terms of development. Only perhaps Eris gets the most noticable change in terms of attitude. She transforms from a bratty girl to a more daring adventurer who geninuely falls for Rudeus. And yes, before you ask, there's a particular episode that takes their relationship to the next level. I'll just let you imagine that in your head.

I'll be honest. Mushoku Tensei Part 2 is hard to enjoy when you have a protagonist like Rudeus running the show. He represents a character with personality flaws. It appears the anime tries to make us understand his character better through his actions. Remember, no one is really perfect especially in this show but Rudeus pretty much represents a guy who tries desperately to change from his former ways. Deep down from his gentleman-like persona, Rudeus is a relentless pervert who is afraid of himself. In this anime, he is also afraid of hurting people he loves. In part 2, he isn't with his family anymore and goes on an adventure of exploration. With the people he encounters, Rudeus learns the cruelty of his world, perhaps no different from the one he was in before. Now, I'm not sure what kind of lesson this anime wanted to teach to us. Is it to show how someone like Rudeus can make a difference to their world or for himself? The message isn't clear, at least for Part 2. Because from his adventue, Rudeus is still a character with flaws. Those flaws take a toll on his personality and honestly, he's a very unlikable character.

In contrast, there's Roxy, a mage who trained Rudeus in the past and has a much more mature personality. There's one particular episode that shows how much she cares about her family and even in part 2, she still seems like down to earth about who she is. Somewhere down the middle is Eris, the short tempered girl who literally beat up Rudeus during their first encounter. She has obviously personality flaws with her aggressiveness and child-like behavior. However, a big change occurs in this season when she seems to have developed feelings of love towards Rudeus. Can it be called a charming romance? No. Let's just say that the aftermath of their fling wasn't exactly pleasant. Nonetheless, I do find Eris only slightly more bearable than Rudeus when comparing the two. If you can stand a tsundere who can never seem to stand still, then you'll be fine.

Unfortuantely, the anime doesn't take its character roster far with the remaining cast. Guys like Paul only get sproadic appearances while others introduced such as Pax will absolutely rub viewers in the wrong way. Silphy, one of the main characters from Part 1, hardly even makes an appearance. Despite these drawbacks, I do give some praise to the anime making Ruijerd relevant and likable. He is loyal with a kind heart yet also displays great deals with courage. Unlike Eris or Rudeus, he displays great self control. Why can't more characters be like him? Oh right, I almost forgot. This anime is more about a guy with the mentality of a 30+ year old.

There's not many reasons to watch this season unless you want to get invested into this franchise. From Part 2, we got a glorified adventure following parties, most prominently Rudeus. It felt like playing an RPG game at times but with a detestable protagonist. The novels follows a much deeper story as the anime only scratches the surface. But for now, just know that Mushoku Tensei and controversy always belong in the same sentence.

Isekai.

You’re probably familiar with this term. The sheer number of shows that come out each year from this genre has gotten to the point that many are just sick of it and would rather skip than watch the same formulaic anime. However, not every Isekai is created equally.

There is one which has gathered somewhat of a cult around it - one that is seen as the grandfather of modern isekai, using pre-existing tropes but executing them properly. One that truly has the right to call itself an isekai.

Welcome to Mushoku Tensei.

This is the tale of a man known as Rudeus Greyrat and how he ... is forced to live in a new environment with completely unfamiliar customs, traditions and a never before seen power - magic. Contrary to most Isekai stories fans are familiar with, Rudeus’ flaws and regrets from his previous life carry over to his new body - flaws and regrets he often needs to reflect on. Throughout the series, the audience can see how he grows physically and also mentally. However, that does require patience. Changing is not a process that can happen right off the bat, instead requiring years of time and effort to accomplish. It’s an aspect of the show which is constantly being driven home.

The world around you and the people you meet will change as you grow. Nothing is static and will always move, forcing you to mature along with the world around you. It may be a painful experience. It might be sufferable. But truly living life to your fullest, not having any regrets and doing all you can so you can die without any is a task hard to accomplish.

The characters in this show have some of the most realistic depictions of human beings that I have ever seen. In a typical Isekai series, the MC and their party are often tropey characters, ones whose personalities can be described in a few adjectives, very one dimensional and uninteresting entities. But when it comes to writing compelling characters that resemble us humans, it is important to factor in the fact that mankind does make mistakes and that nobody is perfect. We are all flawed individuals that often make mistakes, act irrationally and hurt others. Most of us have plenty of good sides but also bad ones that we try to mitigate or get rid of. We have complex personalities, and these aspects are what defines us as human beings.

In Mushoku Tensei, the way in which audience is introduced to the characters is by showing them in the worst light possible, with their flaws on full display, to later make their growth visible as they change. Throughout the duration of the journey these characters have to face their vices and develop as people, slowly mitigating aspects of theirs that hurts those around them. The series teaches us that sometimes first impressions could even prevent us from seeing someone for who they really are - confusing it with who they appear to be. Willing to see past the flaws of someone and giving them a second chance is something that people should strive to achieve.

Often times changing yourself requires a lot of effort and many just give up without ever trying to get back up. Looking at yourself in the mirror and acknowledging your mistakes is an important part in life. To see the flaws within ourselves and understanding what parts of us hurts those around us is the first step in becoming a better person. However, simply having the conviction to change is not enough and it may often require help of other people that will extend a hand and direct you on a different path.

The animation and art is extremely well done, by some very talented animators that bring the series to life. It’s fluid, it’s natural and it heavily immerses you to the world, captivating you almost instantly. There is a lot of depth put into it, showcased by various elements such as the grip on a sword, balance on the sand, fire changing color depending on the heat, the list goes on. These are aspects highlight just how detailed this show is and is part of what makes it so compelling and grounded. To add to the immersion, Mushoku Tensei has many openings, changing depending on the region the characters are current in. Each of these songs perfectly sets the mood.

Overall, Mushoku Tensei is a story unlike any I’ve seen before despite, at its core, not doing anything groundbreaking. It has managed to execute the tropes flawlessly and has such wonderful character development and high production value that it stands out amongst many others from the same genre. I’m sure it’s one that’ll be remembered for years to come. This is only the beginning of the long tale of Rudeus Greyrat and I'm convinced that many wish to see more of it.

If there was a person next to you who struggles to change, who is suffering a lot, who is unable to read the room and may often hurt those around them - would you be willing to give them a second chance and help them on their journey?

Or would you abandon them on the spot, turning a blind eye and ignoring them?

That’s an answer that only you can find and I hope this show will open your eyes to it.
