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.

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.

Mixed Feelings

Mushoku Tensei is one of the most divisive anime I’ve seen on MAL. Certain online communities have fallen apart and friendships between anime viewers have also ended because of this show. I’m not even joking. Take a look at the MAL forum posts for MT. It’s almost impossible to have a cordial discussion between a fan and a critic because of all the back-and-forth and toxicity. It’s also why almost any criticism or praise has been met with immediate backlash. That’s why I will admit that this review will not be completely impartial. However, I still want to try and capture both sides of the ...

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.
