If you by any chance are oversensitive and can't discern reality from fiction like some people, then be warned. Since this is redemption story and character development is a thing, Rudeus will eventually stop doing creep stuff. No, no he never does fully stop. He will always do degenerate stuff, but he does it with consenting participants. Not saying whom. I have read the entire WN, very good btw. Once again, I did not meant generic ecchi cliche of whatever consenting people do in their bedroom, but the very thing that causes this huge controversy, which was accusations of pedophilia and sexual assault. |

| Yes, because it is the best isekai. |
 |
| Yes! It starts off a bit slow in the beginning but turns it gears at certain “turning point” where things become interesting. Suggest you keep watching, especially till part 2 where it gets really good. |
| I think the pictures are beautiful and the story is interesting for the genre, isekai, but if it is not to your taste, you don't have to watch it. |

Wiuehrn said: I don't like ecchi either and in fact I feel like Moshuku Tensei has a bunch of incel level shit. But I suggest watching it anyways. I wrote a review on this but here's a summary. In most isekai and ecchi works, fan service pervades the entire narrative structure so it's impossible to get away from. Like it's going to be impossible to skip seeing slave girls in Shield Hero or the fact that MC is surrounded by little girls in Konosuba. The humor in a lot of these shows is built around these situations.since season 2 is so hyped I decided to watch this but couldn't after 4 episodes. I personally do not like the ecchi and isekai genre and it seems like any typical isekai. does something good happen next or should I drop this? However, while Moshuku Tensei's ecchi is more egregious than the aforementioned shows, it's somehow more delineated from the plot, making them easier to isolate. As in, it would be quite possible for the director to cut out all these scenes without significantly affecting the rest of the show. And the rest of the show is actually good -- for being an isekai at least. There will be these ridiculous ecchi scenes and ridiculous sexual jokes that no one would ever tell in real life, but if you could turn your brain off for these sequences, it's possible that the next few episodes would go without any offending scenes. |

| You aren't meant to think Rudeus is a good person, you are meant to think that he is a piece of garbage doing his utmost to become a good man. Guess what, he does, and the journey he goes through to get there is a masterpiece. Watch the show, hate what a piece of shit Rudeus is, cheer for him as he grows and develops, feel sorry for him when his heart breaks, sympathise with his feelings of betrayal. The story is worth it. |
| Fantasy and mecha are my jam, enjoy romance and slice of life, isekai are a guilty pleasure |
| I am also not a big ecchi fan - It's one of my least preferred genres, in fact. And yet here, it actually seems to work harmoniously with the story rather than detract and distract from it, if that makes any sense. I'll say this - I'm almost always just an anime-only watcher of any series, including this one, so I've never read and followed the light novels or manga adaptation, nor have any real intention of or interest in doing so. And because I haven't otherwise researched it in-depth or spoken to any fans maybe more in the know, I'm not really sure and cannot say how long this series is intended to be in terms of how that will end up translating to the full length of what the anime TV series we get eventually ends up being in the sense of number of episodes, cours/season parts, or seasons. I hope it's completed and allowed to have the full length as envisioned at the beginning, if indeed such a plan did/does exist. I mention the length because in some ways the pacing for this series, especially early on with time skips (not a spoiler - I'm referencing what you've already witnessed if you've seen the first four episodes) actually seems quite fast-paced to me in a way it seems like to me a lot of other people don't pick up on, or at least I haven't heard others comment on (or maybe just doesn't bother others), but when it slows down, explores the world, fleshes out the lore, relations of different families, individuals with their own detailed pasts, different continents, gods, species, styles and classes of fighter/warrior and mage, etc., then it really does feel like a rich and living, breathing, expansive world. I mentioned that I'm not typically fond of ecchi myself. Isekai is whatever - I feel like it's too broad to have a meaningful stance on one way or the other. There's obviously been an isekai craze and boom in the industry since around at least 2012 and therefore for these past 10+ years there's a huge amount of low effort, samey and generic, interchangeable ones released annually, like 95% or more I haven't seen and just ignore as they're not even memorable enough to retain a thought of more than a few minutes after reading the synopsis. And yet isekai at its barebone basics is just the plot device with which anything and everything can be done and experimented with. So it can also provide the vehicle for some of the best stories and experiences out there. Back to Mushoku Tensei specifically, even not being an ecchi fan and being ambivalent on isekai as it can truly go either way, I'm definitely a fan of fantasy itself, and I feel like this could be a worthwhile, even great series to try to get into if you're into longer fantasy dramas (to be precise, it's not that long yet, but I mean more for down the road since it's an ongoing series). Series which can be considered epics in that they span years, take place over varied spread out and distant locations across a whole sprawling world in different nations/kingdoms/continents, and which have a little bit of everything from some drama, some "Slice of Life" style downtime, some comedy, some romance, some action, some familial, political, and royal court intrigue; some moments and subplots which get rather dark and showcase the brutal reality of the world they're living in like on a horror-esque or dark fantasy level, training, battles, adventuring., etc. I'm very much a devotee of a number of series like that so this sufficiently at least grazes that same chord. If you've seen anime series like Juuni Kokuki from 2002 (technically also an isekai, but to me in practice does feel more like a traditional high fantasy), Guin Saga from 2009, live action series like Game of Thrones, His Dark Materials, etc. It even slightly reminds me of Avatar in a way (the elemental manipulators one, not the blue aliens in a planetary resource colony one) with obviously much more explicit violence and sexual content, just with respect to magic-enhanced/fantastical fighting, different nations and generations of people involved in the main story and the accompanying sense of grandeur and scale, a lot of personal growth and reflection - paired physical and psychological journeying, etc. The main thing I'd caution people about this series legitimately with is that you're almost bound to automatically dislike it if you're a prude, and I mean for reasons beyond the usual ecchi shenanigans. The main character, Rudeus, in my view is or at the very least is heavily leaning toward being an actual pedophile. I mean the word in the real sense and not in the way it's almost ubiquitously ignorantly and wrongly used nowadays to mean anyone having an attraction to or relations with a 15, 16, 17 year-old. Rather the more legitimate kind the definition actually exists to describe, taking pictures of and spying on little girls in the bath, lusting after and molesting 7 - 9 year-olds, etc. In other words, going after (although non-violently; more opportunistic/voyeuristically) actual children as a 30 - 40-something middle-aged person, whether in his previous life or the current incarnation. I honestly don't mind it at all - I just find it another interesting part of his character, the world, and story. But if people have super ethical hangups informed by ideology and religion, or mental complexes and strong aversions to this sort of thing, then that would do more than anything to derail and probably tank the series and enjoyment for them. As with any series and going into them, know thyself. |
