Almost skipped the whole episode. This is really not for me anymore I guess. I signed up for something different than melodrama
@18927 This show is about seeing different points of his life, it will have things like this too.
If what you want is action, the second half of this part 2 will give you plenty.

Dunno why they got rid of the unique world-building intros and replaced them with generic J-Rock openings... which is a small nitpick.

This arc just hasn't been that interesting and the pacing seems weird to me.

@18927 Nothing bullshit about it lol. Without this stuff, stakes and weight for future stuff wouldn't matter anywhere near as much and characters would be much more bland in the long run to make those future events matter less, no matter if it looks great or not. It ain't just a generic power fantasy series with adventure stuff for no reason whatsoever. It does focus on Rudeus' life and the various events that happen in it and in times, there are different phases. Simple as that. OP also does hint that there's more to the season at least for you lol.

The show will always show Rudeous life is allowing it's aspects, simply now you are still that more than slowly paced part, it gets actionable nonstop.
I would nothing reccomend you follow his weekly, rather come back to in5 weeks and you be good.

@MangagnaM Penis being the main purpose of the previous part truly nothing like bullshit. I'd rather stick to generic shows then. The whole school arc was literally a boring drag and now this: playing a family as a teenagers. But not gonna lie, I had a chuckle during 2nd ep. It comes out that pedo's future children will have a whore as a grandmom. Truly peak isekai with astounding family

Finally got to hear the new OP and ED, and they're solid! But those spoilers in the OP were a letdown. Missing the unique vibes of Season 1's openings though. Wish they'd kept that style.

Firstly I've never used TikTok. I stay away from Chinese spying apps for brainlets.
Secondly who told you I want only action? I just expect something different than playing a family or healing a dick for straight 12 eps, this would be better if had been done in 2 eps instead. Right now MAL's tags are misleading. Mods should've deleted adventure tag.
Thirdly I'll stay here till the end of the season, so how about no?

@mshfqtny While I agree that having read the LN has made the smaller things easier to spot, it's kinda hard to miss the giant ass monster they're fighting in the opening. Also another thing that people could potentially catch on to, that I won't mention here.
still it doesn't spoil anything. It just implies that there will be big fight scene. That might create hype among viewers which can be a good thing.

Just think of the op as a trailer.
@mshfqtny

Well it spoils who Rudeus fights with, the monster they are fighting, and what EXACTLY they are fighting for. The reader can infer the plot beats to fill in the gap between now and that fight that need to happen for Rudy to get there. This makes all the future reveals of certain characters and situation to be less dramatic.

Not saying this is a bad nor good thing, but just pointing out how it does spoil, and not just imply.

That was a very sweet episode. Although I still find very weird how much Rudeus delayed looking for his mother, isnt she supposed to be in a dangerous place? I'm happy for him and all, but I would prioritize my family before all that.

This is one of the most unique isekai anime that you can watch ever. If you Wonder about Content in it just dont insert youre culture into it and you will enjoy this anime. Just remember It is 18+ anime for a reason so dont assume its same 12+ anime as most other isekai anime. and if you want to start with this season just dont watch the whole series or read web or light novel or manga.

Another great episode, Rudeus announces that he's taking Sylphiette as his wife. All the important characters are present of course. Badigadi lightens up the mood when he appears. Turns out Elinalise is Sylphiette's grandma. Luke and Rudeus duel was also great and Cliff's character development from an arrogant boy who thinks he's better than anyone else tpo a now more humble and kind boy who's willing to do anything for the love of his life.

I feel like i am one of very few people who does not enjoy this season as much so far. I am not saying i have really bad time but.... i literally love romances! slice of life genre etc. This IS my jam.. but i do feel like this is not what Mushoku Tensei was about, the adventure, the struggle, learning to be stronger.... first season was simply 10/10 - there is literally no single thing to go against, story (and lore of the world, exploring it) and pacing, animations, action, relations not only with Eris or his family but also with Ruijerd and everyone else, soundtrack as well... everything was just top quality....

First part of the second season went bit down, not going to lie i had few small disappointments, but was still very good and in the end i enjoyed it alot, but getting to second part of season 2 and i must say.... it feels like author just decided to make a different anime.
I realize this is pretty similiar to what first part did, but either it feels worse, or perhaps i got too much of it, i have strong feeling of"meh, we will see how it goes i guess".

I was sure the idea of getting married after announcing at the ending of part 1 of second season would be mostly just by name (as they will get 'quickly' married with most prep going behind the scenes (becaue as we know this anime loves to skip content) and still go with their lives continuing the story, with perhaps Rudeus finally deploying either with her, or with promise to meet soon(?), or would be dropped entirely because of some random events, stuff going down (again) and they would have to split up (i had a feeling like this when they had intimate scene about when Rudeus promised in response to Sylphi's wish to never ever disappear without notice... but nothing happend)

Yet here we are with Rudeus and Sylp buying home, furnituring it, making wedding party and all.... and based on Opening spoilers it looks like most of the season will be like that...
I semi hoped when anime literally told us that said Rudeus told Paul he is getting married but did not invite him, during wedding party they are going to show up with message like "what? you thought im going to miss my son's wedding??". but once again: Disappointeeeed (insert meme if you want). I feel like they will still show up soon (did not see episode 3 yet at this moment) so i hope anime will still make it a decent moment and not end up on bad gag where father runs towards Rudeus but actually misses him and hugs Sylpi... eh

I really want to enjoy it but there really must be a real progress in story

So... Rudeus mentioned something like what's the point of being an adventurer to make money, if it jeopardizes his life, now that he's married and has someone else to live for? That's reasonable, but if there's no more adventuring, then what will this anime become? Slice of life? Romance? Or maybe it will go the Slime route and turn into business, politics, logistics, etc. I tolerated the first half of this second season, but now I'm missing the simple adventures of the first season.

Well, the OP and ED has spoilers all around, but the songs are not going to get any better, this is a fact since Season 2's 1st Cour.

Rudy and Sylphie's wedding reception, the hard part is the guests and deciding what to do with all of the prep. But Rudy will always be up for the sex, which is finally being good. With all guests onboard, just without Badigadi, the wedding reception starts...not without the big man's arrival. No need to care for formalities, the simple message is known to all. With congrats going to both of them from the guests, albeit a close call against Sylphie knowing their Japanese origins, and Elinalise acknowledging the latter that she had spent time with Paul as his mother. It sure is a shocker that both her and Sylphie are related as grandmother and granddaughter, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Ariel wanting Rudy to spar with Luke for a friendly duel, and he's put in a position where he could not refuse. The challenge against Rudy for pride with a rather quick, agile and short sword fight, is put based on trust from the princess herself and entrusting Sylphie into Rudy's hands. Even for Cliff, him thinking that Elinalise is still a viable target for him, he's really that committed to loving the whore and removing her curse, so both him and Rudy are even on that regard.

Enjoy the romance, Rudy and Sylphie.

Very good episode, very nice dinner with friends

Interesting that Elinalize is Sylphie's grandmother, now that I think about it they do look alike.
I like that Cliff loves Elinalise beyond the fact that their ideals conflict
My doubts about the princess have already disappeared, it seems like she really is a good person... I would be quite surprised if it turns out to be the opposite later on.
Rudeus won the sword fight... WOW, did Rudeus improve or did Luke control himself or both or neither? haha

PS: Very nice OP and ED but just in case I didn't see them, even so I liked the previous OP and ED better

PS2: The episodes are very calm, I wonder if something will happen to change the plot again

kids already? this is going too fast.. where the story gone?.. all the seasons now look like 800+ naruto story crushed into some recap..
I don't even see that love between them.. it is like they both think it is correct thing to do because they slept togetehr and knew each other for so long.. i think this is not gonna work

So the marriage is moving along at a breathable pace. Too bad Paul, Zenith, and the rest of Rudeus’ family and Sylphie’s family couldn’t attend the reception.

I was shocked to see Rudeus immediately take Sylphie to their bed as soon as his member activated. I thought he would be more chill and mellow, but he’s taking advantage of all the time he messed with his condition and he’s got himself a new robe. It looks pretty similar to his old that if you didn’t see that scene, you could easily think that it’s the same robe.

I’m surprised that Nanahoshi showed up. I thought she would essentially just dedicate herself to her research.

But the biggest twist of this episode is that Elinalise is Sylphie’s grandmother. NANI?!??!?!?? I’M SHOCKED THAT SHE’S EVER HAD A RELATIONSHIP OUTSIDE OF CLIFF GIVEN HER CURSE. DAMN! So she raised her children until they could fend for themselves than left them to dissociate herself from them and protect them from the trouble she got in. Okay. I respect Cliff for not holding it against her, and we’ll see if he and Rudeus can find a way to get rid of her curse.

Elinalise wasn’t interested in a relationship with Rudeus because she doesn’t want to be related to Paul, but with Sylphie and Rudeus getting married, that’s unavoidable.

Well I don’t know what’s gonna happen now, but I’m excited for it whatever happens.

This episode and that one from Part 1 with Nanahoshi's conflict vs Sylphy are the best parts of S2 so far (episode 1 was very good too), overall this was a very tasteful episode, endearing, and marks the beginning of the adulthood life of Rudeous.

It is also time to start binging this considering I know the HYPE ep10 of part 2 will be, my most awaited moment for S2 easily.

At this point the show is just handicapped by its prior baggage but is bringing in some better elements and a decent tone of some kind. Every time I look at Rudy with Sylphiette however I am reminded of just how terribly their relationship was paced and developed which makes it difficult to really have strong feelings about this sweet married life that seems to be starting, which is a similar feeling I hold towards nearly all the characters introduced in the last season. I think of all the holes in Elinalise's character. Is Cliff being actively cucked? If not, how? Her curse is obviously still active as is mentioned. Now she's acting like she regrets being a whore all of a sudden when she was looking to be gleefully enjoying it not long ago. It's confusing writing, am I supposed to feel bad because she was forced to be a slut all this time against her desires? (Really hard to see that as the case as that has never been the insinuation until now) Or is she just having a woman moment upon reality hitting her while she looks into the eyes of her granddaughter and has never cared before now?

The writing is all incoherent and really has been since the cataclysm and that's what makes this story appear as a bunch of characters, worldbuilding, and story elements spilled out of a bag onto the floor with little linking them all together. Individually they aren't bad, sometimes quite interesting, but when the author tries to string them all together to actually form a story it all results in dead ends, absent development, plot holes, character holes, confusing tones, nonsensical/abrupt turns in the story, wasted pacing/time, unpolished character design, etc.

One of the most egregiously terrible things in this episode was the Rudy/Sylphiette bath scene and the short bit after. This "author" (I have to use that term loosely from now on, perhaps it's a fault of adaptation as I haven't yet read the source chapters but historically that wasn't the case) manages to again sabotage every single bit of deep romance between his two mains and not only that, manages to make a mockery of the sacred bond that is supposed to have taken root between them in marriage. He does this by turning a tender moment that could lead to love making into a cheap gag instead. I understand there's only so many panels/so much time but that's not how you make use of it. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. Have them share an embrace in the bath and be done with it or make it a deep and heartful love-making scene, don't turn the subsequent sex into a 3 second "McFarlaneesque" comedy bit instead. It degrades everyone involved and shows immense immaturity.

Looking forward, how's this new life going to work? Is the author going to decide to take the time to have a calm season of character development and maybe some of Rudy's children popping out/old family coming to visit so we can actually see any of them ever again? Y'know all those characters that were actually developed decently and then vanished for well over a season. My guess is no, maybe we will get a couple more episodes of that at best and then some new huge wrench will be thrown in and Rudy will be thrust into some conflict again with either his mother or the lesbo royal because getting the foundations set in stone finally would make too much sense.

Why am I still bothering with this series....I suppose hope springs eternal, I'm not sure it does for this one however.
