I think the story would be even more darker and depressing.
Without it, Rudeus's past trauma would stand out more and go deeper than it already is.

Rudeus might literally cry after slapping Eris back and then Eris giving Rudeus multiple beating. The plot might make Rudeus scarred for sometime having flashbacks of getting brutally beaten by a girl.

I don't mind the protagonist being a pervert, it's part of his personality and a source of comedy, but I do think there are ceirtain lines that shouldn't be crossed.
I like this show, I'm a manga reader and also checked out the LN back in the day, I like this series world building, themes, hard-working protagonist and characters, and I can handle a little perversion just fine.

So the story would be better without the ecchi? Maybe, but I'm inclined to say no, because it's party of who the protagonist is.

HOWEVER, they don't have to go that far. Pull something like episode 6 and of course that's going to piss off people. They are risking losing viewers / generating controversy for some needless stuff that crosses the line for many different reasons. Rudy's pervy ways was already established in early episodes, there was literally no reason to do that scene. It add nothing to the story except fuel for haters and sjw to latch on and complain about.

That's my two cents on the matter.

Hmm... without it then the plot of the series would go to a different route that we don't know what could happen to it because the perverted nature in the series has been necessary for the realism of the character of some specific characters and also has affected the flow of the story like on ep4 where the maid got pregnant which is arguably necessary to the dynamic of the family to move the plot forward aswell as for the realism for the character of Paul and the aftermath of the event that kinda gave Rudeus an advantage on Paul that can be convenient for him (I sounded it evil-ish). Another thing is without the perverted nature then the realism of Rudeus's character would make his NEET otaku background in his past life not make sense.

I'm good with it as long as it's used for character development for Rudy.

If not, then okay... It's fine just as long as you don't include kids and minors in those fanservice scenes. There's literally no point in using them.

Well the title was obviously asking the audience, if you think every question only have a yes or no as an answer without the option 'neutral' included...

Let me make this clear, there are indeed questions that are only answerable by yes and no, but that doesn't mean there are none of them with with a third option, having a third option is justified for some particular questions like this.

My saying wasn't fully meant that i don't care whether the show will become better or not without Rudeus' perverted nature and therefore I'll keep watching the show regardless, its more like it doesn't matter to me as long as i think it's a decent show.

Btw i don't like arguing over trivial things like this, so imma get this over with

my problem does not come from pedophilia or some stuff that people complain about, but from the excessive amount of fanservice that we got, it is just a little bit distracting. But I kinda used to it by now, or else I wouldn't like the story.

Right now we haven't see main antagonist yet or where the plot actually heading, just another slice of life fantasy with good drama and medieval theme. I like it a lot, but I wish to see more of the actual story rather than "a day in a life of an isekai protagonist."

glad to see someone ask such a question honestly, personally I dont care for the ecchi... with it or without it doesnt matter much to me, tho I guess having less ecchi and more focus on the plot or characters would be what I choose.

What happpens here can't be even labelled as ecchi unlike what some people call it.
The story (so far) isn't anything very unique. And losing the perviness would result in losing one point of uniqueness, even if it's not something positive for everyone.
Also the slight perviness is completely understandable considering the MC is mentally much older than he is physically and unless he seriously does harm to someone, there's nothing wrong with keeping his previous traits in his new persona.
Another thing is... it's just a cartoon, no need to take it overly seriously.

No, it wouldn't. The humour and the scumminess of the mc are what carried the novel with its bomb narration. Without it, it would have zero flavour. Yes, the mc is disgusting - that's the point. Yes, there is a lot of perverted content, but that's just how he is. It's much better than all those bland, dumb mcs of many other shows.
I feel like the pervertedness kind of makes the show more genuine in a way - it doesn't hide anything or tries to make us see the mc as a good person. The relationships he ends up building feel much more genuine thanks to that.

Ok lets have a serious discussion.

In my honest opinion, the pervy nature of the characters just not Rudy definitely added to the story. Before I go deep, I don't mean by what happened in ep6. Yeah, it can do without that. As someone who has read the novels, there are some masterfully written sex scenes coming up way into the future.

I have read multiple western fantasy novel. While they are good, the main characters often get boring because of their lack of personality. However, in Konosuba and MT we have MC's with pervy nature that in my opinion is used excellently for comedic gags. I find this type of comedy entertaining, not everyone will. I get that.

Despite the wishes of some readers, the author actually went deeper into exploring sexual themes. I don't want to spoil but we have already seen adultery and polyamory explored to some extent. It goes extremely deep later in the novels and the effects it has on relationships. I was a bit surprised by this, as most often we only deal with these topics superficially, however the author went pretty deep. Despite that, he didnt forget to put some comedic touches to that as well.

Overall, yes maybe for mass audience this story could have been better off without its perverted nature, however, for me this perverted nature only added realism to the story especially in the middle and later stages. So to get there, you have to deal with the exaggerated perversion in the beginning. I do believe the author could have written the initial parts of the story better in terms of sex and stuff, but he made the conscious choice of making it an important theme throughout the story and the payoff is good, so, no I don't have many problems with it and I respect the author's choice.

As someone who read the novel, the 'ecchiness' honestly is a cherry on top for me, though I do wish that they at least tone it down a bit given that they could of added some extra details instead.

But I will say this:

The romance is honestly an integral part of the story, by no means is it even close to being the best part of the story. But it's done well enough and very realistically imo, Rudy's pervertedness honestly is a pretty big part of his character and makes his development all the more satisfying because he becomes such a great character later on and the sexual themes actually play a big role later on the story, it's also going to play a role in a certain part in the second cour as well.

The bottom line is, is that as long as you actually wait till the first season is finished, then you'll realize the full tone of the story and how each detail actually plays a big role to the story and aren't throw away bullshit. So far nothing major has truly happend yet in the current episodes.

The vote is kinda shit, because I don't want ecchi stuff, but I want realistic sexual content. In theory, I like Rudy and Paul and what they do, because these are things that people irl do, too.

The issue and why this particular anime fails for me is that there are never meaningful, realistic consequences. Rudy groping the sleeping 12 yo Eris is the best example of that. Considering his past, it makes sense that he'd do that shit. BUT: Why do we need to see it if Rudy doesn't have any inner dialogue about it, reflecting on his own actions? Or someone else seeing his crime and punishing him.

Nothing.

It's a scene that only exists for perverted weebs that watch this anime. It's a 100% inorganic scene, a scene without purpose other than give the audience questionable fap material.

The solution to this wouldn't be to just remove these scenes, however. If you remove them, it just becomes more boring. As I said above: these scenes ought to have had consequences. Paul shouldn't have been rewarded with 2 wives. Rudy shouldn't have gotten away with stealing and keeping Roxy's panties. He also shouldn't have gotten away with groping Eris. And the merchant at the market shouldn't have gotten away with telling a 7 yo boy about an aphrodisiac that lets a man cum 10 times. For all of that to make sense, you'd have to assume that this is an isekai where perverts are accepted by society. But I doubt that is the case :/

you don't root for him. the author made a conscious choice of making him the lowest of the low. It was meant to convey that even someone at the bottom can become better if they try. obviously there are some comedic hijinks thrown in there as after all this is anime.

We are at volume 2 of a 24 volume journey.


I get that but that's just really hit or miss, and it's a BIG miss for me, it's not interesting for me to watch someone try to get better if I can't personally root for them, I can a bit if that person has some redeemable qualities, but... I just can't see anything redeemable from Rudeus at least in my perspective so it's hard to be interested in watching his growth.


So you cant have empathy with a poor hikikomori who was bullied and ostracized his whole life and prefer some vanilla shit story with a goody good shoes hero like Kirito? People like you are why most stories are so shit boring. We need more protagonists like Rudy. Heroes shouldn't be 100% good, that has never been realistic. Can a pedophile save the world? Why not?

No, it would have been better if it had shown the consequences of that scene. Either by inner dialogue of Rudy's, where he either feels deep guilt OR double down on it and shows what a terrible person he is. Or by someone watching the crime that Rudy committed and punishing him later on. Or by Eris waking up, beating him and then having him punished by her father.

It could have been interesting if the scene didn't exist just to satisfy degenerate weebs.

I agree with a lot of the people in this thread, the perverted nature of Rudy adds to the story but we could do with some consequences. At some point someone has to actually call him out for it right? Probably not, but I can dream.

Some of the scenes and conversations did make me uncomfortable (mainly ep 6 + Rudy talking with his dad), and I know some people will just say “then don’t watch it if you don’t wanna see it” but I genuinely like the plot and want to see how it goes. I just want the scenes to have some type of significance on the story, not just to satisfy those with perverted desires.

In my opinion, most people are not disgusted with the echi, but with the fact that the protagonist has a 40-year-old mind. I personally think that the fact that he eventually demonstrates that he is still that 40 year old guy, with all his psychological problems and effects, adds a lot to the story.

In addition, it is good to see an anime that deals, albeit superficially, with heavier themes, such as traits, polygamy, etc. I can't take any more of those shows that are pure echi without meaning, in which there are several obscene scenes, but always "by accident".

More than that, your options do not make sense. You are literally asking us to choose between 1) i like echis and 2) i do not like echis. It is a valid question, but, in this specific show, most of the echi makes a lot of sense, because the protagonist is a 40 year old guy that, before death, spent all day inside his bedroom seeind lolis (just look at the things on the floor when his parentes break inside his room).

I should've probably added options like "ecchi's alright but I don't like this execution" etc, guess I expected people to interpret what's beyond the question lol.

I guess another question is, would you rather have a mindless ecchi show or a show that is similarly ecchi but mixed in to deal with heavier themes, but poorly and at a superficial level? I would probably go with the former as it would frustrate me less, but it seems like it's the latter for you, not like I think either will be much better.

Of course there's more beyond that to the show, but I still think it's an overall negative in the grand scheme of things.

Echi, sex, the more mature topics, overall I like them in this show, the only problem is the pedo part, and no one in the sane mind can say that the shit shown on how the main character looks at ~10 year old girls and thinks about groping them in not pedophilia... The only underage joke I liked in whole these series was probably about using protection then 3 girls approached main character in episode 7, other than that everything else was cringe or outright disgusting, why would you need such jokes in your show, for character progression later on? You are pretty much killing your show, making people quit simply because they are showing this kind of shit as if it's alright simply because now he is in a child's body.

If the source material for this show wasn't written before Game of thrones season 1 aired, I'd claim that it took inspiration from it. The abundance of ecchi scenes ruins the overall experience on such a great level that I'm struggling to give it more than 5 out of 10 point simply because of them. So far it feels like the author/director simply MUST include and ecchi scene in each episode as if their lives depend on it!
Even if we exclude all the "normal" ecchi scenes (like parents having sex), we still get pedo-touching, sex-potion offered to a 7yo, 8yo advised to use protection with the 10yolds. Is this show trying to be serious is it supposed to be taken as a joke? Did I accidentally click on Konosuba?!

I can't take anything serious in the anime tbh, perverted things are happening so often that I literally expect a sexual scene/joke/thought to happen in any discussion or place in the anime...

Rudeus's father had a lot of girls before his wife and still makes out with other women while being married, Eris's grandfather does it with the maids, her father kinda confirmed at the library that he probably does/did it too from his wierd body language...Roxy's student, the son of a gun lil horny prince...and at last, Rudeus himself.. every male character is a degenerate.. how am I supposed to like any of them lmao...
Eris's father tells Rudeus that if he takes a girl in bed, he should use "protection" lmao, the kid is 7 yrs old, his thing most likely isn't even as big as my little finger, also wtf are you telling to a 7yr old to do, like wut..

Don't get me wrong, I was angry at his father but I found it cute how they "solved" the problem by raising 2 different kids in the same home, but man, some things are really unnecesarry, like bringing often the fact about how many women Paul fricked (ngl, i am a bit jealous), but idc man, I wanna see Rudeus do some shit like this, oh wait, he's 7, oh well, that's boring... all he has is his perverted mind, which is cringe asf, he can't do anything anyway.. it's also like the environment the protagonist is in just wants him to become an irremediable horny fatass again... but nothing will happen anyway, probably not even a basic relationship, because he's foking 7...

I love the fights, action, serious dialogue but I find the sexual content of the anime a little bit cringey... I've seen worse tho so I'll keep watching...

If the adaptation was a little better paced and they'd filled in more of Rudy's & Paul's history then it would make how he's acting more understandable - even if it's still not acceptable.

In the Japanese version the barn scene did have him trying to remove her panties and getting a good kicking for trying - in the English translation this was glossed over completely. Also in the source material Paul is basically a rapist and a womaniser, and how locked-in and degenerate Rudy had become was explained thoroughly, most of this information was missed out of the anime adaptation.

The whole thing with TM is that it's the same as Ascendance of a Bookworm.

Someone is re-incarnated as a small child/baby into an almost medieval world with different religions, standards etc with all their previous life's knowledge & hang-ups - Myne obsesses about books to the detriment of everything else but eventually adapts into her new environment - Rudy is doing the same but from a less wholesome obsession.

I just could have done without the visuals of some of it - the internal monologue would have been enough.

Then again I don't remember any outrage over Episode 1 of Gleipnir where Shuichi in dog form starts to take Claire's pants of while she's unconscious - which is just as subversive.

I wouldn't have any problem with it, if he were just a kid that is curious about other kids, because that's really just a normal part of development.

But he's an ADULT neet guy, who even liked lolis before (remember when this scum beat his meat instead of going to the funeral of his parents), and now he grabs real kids in the fantasy world ... and that's just awful af.

If he were just staring at adult women in his new kid body... yeah okay, but in this form it's really icky.

He's a human character with human flaws, which I far prefer to some Gary Stu who has a seizure the second he sees one square inch of panty...

No definitely no, if you want the MC to be a Kirito watch SAO, there is plenty (Most all) of isekai out there with a PC MC. You don't need to desire to be like the Mc, he is pretty scum as shown by episode 1. If you don't like it then dont watch it, I don't like Shoujo anime but i'm not going to go watch Shoujo and get butthurt that it's Shoujo.

Ok, ok, touché....but come on we've all seen the "it's not pedophilia if it's a 2,000 yo vampire" memes. This is just anime. And the MC was just a pedo, there is no child porn, none of the young characters have been overtly sexualized. It is purely just his shitty character that is there for narrative.

I just want you to know that I found this the best opportunity I could hope for.


Ok, ok, touché....but come on we've all seen the "it's not pedophilia if it's a 2,000 yo vampire" memes. This is just anime. And the MC was just a pedo, there is no child porn, none of the young characters have been overtly sexualized. It is purely just his shitty character that is there for narrative.

I'd have an easier time being placated by your words if in the sixth episode there wasn't a slapstick sexual assault on Eris.

That was just the tipping point for me though, as I was very suspect about how sexualized Roxy was, a character Rudy himself described as a "scornful loli" which basically mean she looks like a kid. No, I'm way past buying into it as a "narrative" given how quickly and efficiently it's resolved his other neet-problems.

I also hate the 100-year-old dragon defense and I will mock anyone using it as a defense for anything. Strangely enough, Rudy has become the dragon in this metaphor as he is way older than he looks!

Stupid prudish people. Yikes. Western people smh. Ecchi in MY fantasy? What kind of entitlement is this? No. This isn't yours. Give it a 1 and then move on. Let us enjoy our ecchi. You enjoy whatever sjw bs you want.

I think it having less of it would make it more accessible, its story is great but without the Ecchi it would truly be able to shine - And don't give me the Ecchi is important to the plot... it truly isn't

Yes and No.

I'm more for a Yes because most of it is unnecessary, but also No cause other than the MC being like that in his previous life, it's also a kind of stupid trope to make me laugh.
NGL tho, I've seen a lot of f'd up things from anime, but the stable scene was kinda uncomfortable to watch for me too, but nothing that we've never seen in anime. I mean, they could be 7 and 9 but they act as any other anime character from 12 to 20, they're just shorter lol.

tl;dr: Yes, but some of it is fine
Best series of all time? Gormiti of course

I wouldn't have any problem with it, if he were just a kid that is curious about other kids, because that's really just a normal part of development.

But he's an ADULT neet guy, who even liked lolis before (remember when this scum beat his meat instead of going to the funeral of his parents), and now he grabs real kids in the fantasy world ... and that's just awful af.

If he were just staring at adult women in his new kid body... yeah okay, but in this form it's really icky.


This is because he WAS a pedophile. He is supposed to be trash and this is a story of his redemption as he builds himself an honorable life. You are missing the point. God forbid a main character not be perfect....


I like my redemption stories to actually have someone redeeming themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, it would be significantly worse. This show likes to show the true nature of the humans in this world.

Nah. I think the perverted parts give the series more "soul" and more personality.

You see him NOT do exactly that in this episode. Goes to attack Eris...realizes it's not right....stops himself. The sexual assault stuff pretty much disappears later in the LN, but the Roxy worship is a universal constant and MC will get consensually sexual with people his bodies age. Honestly there's 20+ year old women out there with Roxy's figure. She does not look like a loli to me at least...if the story said she was 20 I don't think anyone would sus that. And imo it would be weirder if Rudeus went around fucking 20-30 yo women as a 12 yo than him fucking people his own age even though he's mentally 30. The latter is a grey area, the former is not.....
