i watched the first episode, and so far it feels like a different version of mushoku tensei... but not as good. it still does everything well though. of course it has it's differences, but it doesn't feel different enough. so i want to ask you guys who have read the source. is it more unique than it seems. or not? edit: 1. I got my answer, thanks to the handful of people who gave a proper answer. 2. to people who say not every isekai is mushoku tensei, and this story has nothing to do with it, the AUTHOR OF THE SERIES has said they wrote this because they like mushoku so much, and trust me, you don't know more about this story than the author. like come on... even the n1 recommendation on mal for this is mushoku tensei. like i know and understand why a lot of people dislike the mushoku's mc, but this question and statement had nothing to do with that. 3. to all the people who say the mc being different is the difference between the 2 shows, you guys have garbage standards. the mc being a different character is NOT a big difference, it's the god damn bare minimum. if that aspect wasn't different, this wouldn't be a show similar to mushoku, it would be a 0 effort clone. which this show is not. |

I don’t know how much more unique you can get then that |

We don’t get to see what happened in his past life unlike Mushoku Tensei (based on ep1) and the mc is a good kid. But Saihate no paladin and Mushoku Tensei both have a great world building |

For me the difference is the MC mentality. In Mushoku Tensei is a 40-year-old bum, in this one at least he's someone who looks decent. And I believe that this one won't have Ecchi, changing the comedy |

Very different. Saihate no Paladin is straightforward while the other one is not. |
Oct 10, 2021 7:18 AM

Well it doesn't seem like its going to be perverted or a harem, so it doesn't follow the same formula as most Isekai. |

Well the main character doesn't seem to be a complete pedo & pervert, nor does his raising family, that's one thing. Of course that may just be because he had no occasion to display his lust yet due to the surrounding. Doesn't seem to be the type though. It also looks way more focused on explaining how thing like gods and the like works from the get go than Mushoku Tensei was, showing a very difference angle to that type of story ImO. |

I don’t know how much more unique you can get then that From my experience reading the manga, there's a lot more to the backstories of the three undead he lives with than it seems. The LN and manga conveyed the story really well, but I did tear up the first time reading through it. There are a lot of differences between this and Mushoku Tensei - for example the MC's past isn't brought up often to the point where I actually forgot the series was an isekai reading through it. The world itself and atmosphere actually reminds me more of To Your Eternity with how barren and post-apocalyptic some areas are. |

Also this series is more on the serious side, kind of like Magus Bride vibes. Not sure if it has a light novel but from the manga series itself he protagonist doesnt even have a love interest/girl to ship with yet. Tldr t's basically Mushoku Tensei without all the disgusting horny people, more serious, and much sadder. |

First off this is barely a isekai, not gonna spoil anything but he barely remembers the old world, it's more of a tool to make him try harder instead of be a deadbeat. This story is a bit more realistic for a isekai, in that there's alot of sad moments, but everything will does is his own accomplishment, not because he was born op, he works for it. As for romance, well not to spoil anything but There is romance however it is far from the main focus of the story, there's no harem, at least so far in the novel he only has eyes for 1 person and their relationship is pretty much impossible without will doing well, the impossible. |

(yeah a lot of shows have dark moments, but i mean as a whole) |

I think the thing Faraway Paladin does best is have a likeable protagonist compared to Mushoku, because everytime I see Rudeus I just see a character with hella plot convenience and a dogass personality, I literally would sucker punch Rudeus for being such an annoying piece of shit. Apart from the character though, almost everything from worldbuilding to plot writing is equal to me. arshiapolygons2 said: It's not really a redemption story if Rudy doesn't try to fix his pedo behavior though lmao, which literally latest episode, he still hasn't done shit about.

He looks at women less as objects, and more as humans. since to you, he was a pervert then, and he's a pervert now is the only thing that matters, you may have not noticed this, but it happened. of course it's not a fix, not even close, but it's a step forward. he has gotten better. remember how he tried to take Erise's panties in season 1, or how he went over his own head in the bed? well this time he kept it in his perverted mind and only busted a nut instead of actually touching her. i'm not saying he has fixed the problem, but that's improvement. also i just can't hate him. yes he is a pervert who has no shame. but he is also hardworking, sympathetic, smart, brave and selfless. yes he is flawed, and the show doesn't shy away from reminding you of that. but as bad as his flaws are, he hasn't done anything that can't be redeemed. nothing even close to that. and he has more than 1 or 2 good qualities. he isn't a character i want to punch. he is a character that i'm invested to see improve, because i can see that he is always trying to do so. what do you mean you don't see it, i just explained it in.... you know what, whatever, it's my fault for wasting my time trying to change people's mind. The only reason he doesn't touch Eris this time is because she's literally conscious, unlike last time where she was passed out and woke up while he was stealing her panties. If she was passed out this time, I wouldn't be surprised if he did try to touch her. It's just a matter of situation. All of his traits lie in the fact that he's given a shit ton of conveniences by the plot and you can justify all of them with that too. And if I am correct, his perverted attitude doesn't ever get better in the LN either, that IS his personality being a horndog. But that's not what I dislike about him. What I dislike about him is the fact that he's just simply a super plot convenient character that was written FOR actual NEETs. That's his target audience. But if you are enjoying Mushoku Tensei, good for you man, I enjoy everything about the series apart from Rudeus too. |

Apart from the character though, almost everything from worldbuilding to plot writing is equal to me. arshiapolygons2 said: It's not really a redemption story if Rudy doesn't try to fix his pedo behavior though lmao, which literally latest episode, he still hasn't done shit about.

What I dislike about him is the fact that he's just simply a super plot convenient character that was written FOR actual NEETs. That's his target audience. But if you are enjoying Mushoku Tensei, good for you man, I enjoy everything about the series apart from Rudeus too. alright since you have some actual good points, let me share my piece before heading out: "He gets character development sure, but only because he extreme amounts of plot convenience, he's given all the opportunities with a large mana pool and whatever to be better. If he wasn't gifted with his mana, would he ever get over his problems? Nope. It's all plot convenience." that would be the case if he got his mana only because of luck, but he didn't. as he said in the first few episodes, he gets more mana by training his magic. at first he would pass out after a few water shots if you remember. he has a lot of mana, because he started training from a very young age, and because he took advantage of the fact that kids learn much faster. his talent is from his second life, which could be called plot convenience, but the main reason he got to the point he got was his own hard work. yes if he didn't have that extra "talent", he wouldn't be as strong, but with the amount of work he put in he would still be a very good mage. so while i see your point, you can't deny that his hard work played a huge part in what you brash off as just plot convenience. "The only reason he doesn't touch Eris this time is because she's literally conscious, unlike last time where she was passed out and woke up while he was stealing her panties. If she was passed out this time, I wouldn't be surprised if he did try to touch her. It's just a matter of situation." ok this is one thing that neither of us can really prove, but i'm going to say why that's most likely not the case. while she was indeed awake this time, it would have been extremely easy for him to take advantage of her since she was sick. he even said it was hard work to stop himself from doing anything to her later, which is kind of messed up, but it does show that, he could do something to her... at least as far as he thinks, which in our argument is all that matters. so while we can never know for sure, i say my point being true is much more likely. "All of his traits lie in the fact that he's given a shit ton of conveniences by the plot and you can justify all of them with that too." that's just not true, him being hardworking was purely because he got a second chance, you can't tell me you wouldn't try harder if you got a second life. him being selfless was always the case. while that trait of his has improved over the time of the show, he had that trait even before his second life. let's not forget that the reason he died was to save someone else. yes it could have also been out of desperation to finally do something in his life, but even if that's the case, he would still need some selflessness to do it. "and if I am correct, his perverted attitude doesn't ever get better in the LN either, that IS his personality being a horndog. But that's not what I dislike about him. What I dislike about him is the fact that he's just simply a super plot convenient character that was written FOR actual NEETs. That's his target audience." idk about the LN so i can't really say if your right or wrong on that one. but i doubt it. he will most likely still have some hints of being a pervert, but I think he's at least going to keep it in his mind. also i think he will loose his pedo ting when he grows up, but that's my guess, i don't really know for sure. you're not wrong about him being for neets, but saying it like that is kind of unfair. i mean the mc is as neet as you can get, so while i can't say you're wrong.... come on. of course a neet is attracted to the ultimate neet. and you can't really tell me then change the mc. mushoku tensei without it;s mc, would not be mushoku tensei, it would be a completely different show. |

For now I think the difference is quite obvious XD Mushoku Tensei has a hentai MC while this one has a civilized MC |

No ecchi elements so far, MC looks promising unlike that pedophile from Mushoku Tensei. This show gives eerie vibes for some reason as if something bad about to happen, idk why And ofc, unlike MT, characters aren't horny |

I read the manga for it and so far, there are some little similarities that you can see through the author being influenced a bit by Mushoku Tensei like with the character starting off as a baby and growing up in that world and developing skills along the way (although Will from Paladin's got a lot more help from birth essentially to make him powerful and knowledgable from the getgo), but it's mostly its own series. I'm not as crazy about the manga though, was a lot blander than I expected after a bit, but I'm willing to give it a benefit of the doubt and hope that the anime or maybe even the light novels when I read them in the future are much better than that. |

Faraway Paladin doesn’t seem to advertise itself upfront as an isekai/reincarnation to start and has quite a unique setup to boot. You can say that’s the advantage it has over other similar shows. The hindering problems it does have come much later, though. |

I was thinking about watching this, but now, with that comparison, I'm worr... etac said: The MC in this one is not a pedophile from another world. Okay, not anymore. |

TBH I don't feel any similarity with mushoku tensei, except by being an isekai... But isekais are all the animes that the MC travel or reborn in a different world. This one seems different enough from the others to be recognized by it. I think Mushoku and Paladin are as different as oil and water! If you want to compare both only because they are Isekais, you will have many many MANY more isekais animes to be compared too. |
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations. |

And the conclusion is - you don't argue with Mushoku Tensei fans. There is no way to explain to them that "reborn as infant", "teaches how to fight and use magic", "exploits some knowledge from his/her previous life" and "there are time skips" are unique. |
