Mhm right.. thanks for letting me know you can read well? Thats the whole point of the post. The pedo thing isn't the entire show (worldbuilding, chara development balh blah etc), and I thought watching it would give some nuance to it. And it did, Rudeus isn't exactly a pedo the way I thought he was in the beginning. What exactly is the point ur trying to make here im confused.

Even my first run-through I knew that the main character is supposed to be unlikeable, I just was comfortable about it at first. The second watch is to ignore my personal bias and focus on the actual story instead of mindlessly hating on it.

i went back to watching mushoku tensei because I dropped it cuz the pedophilia stuff was creeping me out. i gave it another chance cuz i thought maybe I was being smooth brained for letting my personal biases cloud my judgement, and people kept saying that besides the weird stuff the story is actually a masterpiece.

Where??

I'm at season 2 and this shit is still mid as fuck. I just want to know what amazing development, worldbuilding, storytelling genius is going on here?
Most importantly season 1, it has an 8.37 on mal but this shit is still an average isekai (EDIT: i no longer think this) to me.

also so i dont get banned for the 6th time lets try not to mention the pedo stuff im just talking about the story in general. (EDIT: we ended up talking about it)
Before someone says "why do u care so much" "its just ur personal taste" im just saying im surprised cuz my taste is usually mainstream as fuck, like I usually enjoy stuff most people like. so i wanna know what aspect of this story is so appealing to people and why im missing it?

I personally dislike the story because it tries to make you accept such a person also because hes fat and ugly lol.

There is no reason for anyone to force themselves to consume a fiction that they do not enjoy.

Always ignore the MAL ratings and popularity. I have neither watched Jujutsu Kaisen nor Chainsaw Man because I know I will fall asleep at the characters describing their superpowers.

I have read all 26 volumes of the light novels.

Everyone likes different things my guy thats what makes us human, this just isn’t something you like. Don’t let the opinion of the internet squander how you view something, hearing masterpiece in tandem with attack on titan made me not like the show at all, but once I put that aside and watched it for myself instead of looking for the “masterpiece” everyone else was talking about I had an alright experience—I didn’t see a masterpiece but I def had an improved opinion on it. Not saying that’ll occur with this but look at it through your eyes and not others and it’ll look differently.

It's a story about a degenerated guy who got a 2nd chance in life, he's still a pervert and prone to mistakes, but overall he does better than before so it's kind of inspiring.
Not everyone can relate to such a protagonist and that's fine, but those who can tend to defend the show because it gives them hope and they kind of identify with it.

I watched 100+ isekai Anime
and among them Mushoku tensei is one of the best and realistic Isekai anime.
Mushoku tensei is not the best isekai but One of the best Isekai Anime of all time.....

I dont think this anime is mainstream. Its more like Infamous in the community. Its well known for controversial reasons. At one hand we have people defending rudeus with their soul considering it to be the best anime, on the other hand we have people dropping this show cause of how poorly written it is. Most people who hated it dropped it at season 1.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

As a girl, I find mushoku tensei very good. I think the controversial parts are what makes it interesting. Also Rudy is not a pedo. He was reborn and likes people his age, is that so weird? I feel like it would be more weird for him to hook up with someone who’s his age from before he was reincarnated. If you feel uncomfortable just don’t watch it and stop hating.

The world-building is so great is because of all the small hints and foreshadowing dropped that actually appears later on in the story. It is hard to say how good the world-building of a show is in only one season, because you cannot pick up yet on all the information mentioned. It is really fun to rewatch and hear the Laplace war and Perugius getting mentioned, or seeing the Laputa castle. A lot of foreshadowing is also in what the people say, often jokingly. Some examples below:


We travel around the majority of the entire world in the second part of the first season, introducing us to the different races that live there, the different climates and cultures. It isn't fully explained yet, but almost every place gets revisited. The small details the author puts everywhere makes the world and characters really feel alive. This also includes the flaws most characters have.

Also, MT is a story of the full life of Rudy. In most anime, we just see events that happen over a few days or years at most, or simply have characters that don't age at all. But here, we see Rudy and the characters surrounding him grow, fight together, help and love each other over the course of an entire lifetime.

This isn't mainstream which is why you dislike it. S2 managed to tackle heavy topics without seeming out of touch. Its a fantasy world, yet Rudy is going thru real world stuff. Heartbreak. Depression. Anxiety. Lack of self confidence. The feeling of worthlessness. Disassociation.
Real people go thru this stuff every single day. So if you can't relate to it (yet), maybe you're lucky. Or maybe it's not the right time for you to watch it. Everyone goes thru this period in their lives, especially men.

That’s not why I dislike it. And a lot of my favorite characters go through these things. I don’t hate it I just thought it was mid. I don’t feel the same way about it now

You're bringing random logic into this that I never introduced at all and you're just running with it. Where did i even imply that good things should happen when someone experiences something bad and vice versa? I'm not arguing for karma to happen to every single little situation that happens to these characters.
All im saying is if an author is gonna make a main character do something controversial, like kill an innocent or sexually harass some little girl while she's sleeping, there should be some in-universe consequence to prove the point that this character is learning from his mistakes and developing to be this so-called better person he ends up being. Him doing weird shit and then it immediately being something "funny" like he gets punched, thats not doing it for me. It just downplays wat happens. If you guys find that funny you do you but thats not me, we just have different preferences.

Yes, you are arguing for karma. And that's what I was talking about. If it's not karma, then your argument is pretty invalid.
Realistically speaking, not all people who do some bad stuff get punished. So killing someone, raping someone without any punishment is perfectly realistic.

I’m not asking for an in-universe punishment. That’s the level of reading comprehension I’m constantly dealing with you people. I said indirect, internalized or direct consequence. I’m not saying the character should always be punished in the story every single time they do something bad🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.I’m more like talkjng about it has any effect on the story at all for continuity reasons.

@ktg tbh i was mixing up both the novels and anime, the anime still does world building well, and next season (if they do it well) should excel in everything. to answer your question, the magic system isnt nearly as good as it is in the novels i dont think, my memory might be failing me tho. also i dont watch isekai often so a lot of what this show does is pretty cool to me since i haven't seen it done like it is here anywhere else. what makes the world building good? i mean... its hard to explain? and in all honesty idgaf enough to sit on here trying to make you change your mind about the pedo isekai so this is my response since i dont want to leave you hanging. i think its a well structured show overall, i think it implements its magic, and the way politics and whatnot work very well. I think it writes its characters well, they are all pretty fucking insufferable and I like that. for you, well its not your thing.

if the op sees this, this is my response to you too, bye bye!!

I also noticed the good world building elements, e.g. flying castle or Ruijerd's backstory, but my problem is that I'm forced to watch a kid with ED, while a really good show would actually show us more about that great story and world. Like I mentioned above, this is a great story's side plot about a side character.
I can't call this great worldbuilding all in all, when we spend like 18 episodes on this SoL stuff that is far from being as good as the "main plot" of the show.

Btw, my original response to you was only about the magic system, because I was actually interested if it's better in the LN or not, because based on the anime, it is not that unique.

Are you seriously comparing 700 episodes + 12 films + multiple databooks of naruto and 1000+ episodes of one piece world building to 48 released episodes of reincarnation?
I love Naruto. I’m currently on my another rewatch spree of it, yet Naruto’s world is not without flaws.
I personally didn’t like one piece and am not going to torture myself for 1000 episodes, but nevertheless I don’t come out saying that everyone watching it is dumb or need to make me understand why they like it.

If you don’t like the reincarnation, don’t see the appeal of the show, just drop it and don’t torture yourself. It’s a good show for reasons many people have stated already and it’s ok if you don’t feel the same.

Where am i comparing these shows? Never said narutos world is flawless, but its certainly better and more imaginative than MH's bs. Unlike MH i was hooked by naruto and one pieces' world within one episode.
Where did i say people that watch it are dumb?
Whats with people just making up arguments/logic/statements I never said?

Dont worry, i dropped it. this shit is torture.

Im not comparing it with mushoku tensei, im refuting that person when they said that I probably dont enjoy mushoku tensei because one piece and naruto are too mainstream. im making the point that even if its mainstream, it still has a lot of the things that mushoku tensei has/known for like worldbuilding etc. I wasnt saying which one is better, im just saying all of them have it.

Look, you have over 600 titles completed. Of course, they all have left some imprint on you. 2/3 of the big three definitely did. And as objective as you’d like to be, it’s clear that you are not. You’ve said yourself that world building of naruto and one piece got you hooked from the first(let’s say 20) episode, while MT didn’t. You are comparing after I brought it up, and you were comparing before I brought it up.

Good luck to you. You are wasting your time, unless it’s an elaborate troll run from a 17yo.

"Lets say 20," "and you were comparing before I brought it up," "it's clear that you're not"

Just because you say something like its fact doesn't mean it is. I don't know why you guys are so adament in putting words in my mouth, you're fighting with an imaginary version of myself at this point.

I just proved to you that I wasn't comparing it before. And if i'm comparing it now, who cares? They're both longrunning fantasy series, they're allowed to be compared.
Objectively, one piece and naruto has a more imaginative world than MH, thats just a fact, and people that deny it are just glazing at this point.
Good luck to you, fuck off.

mushoku tensei is mainstream. and even tho the big three is super popular, naruto and one piece (one piece especially) is known for having really good worldbuilding, development, storylines blah blah etc.. that doesnt make it invalid for me to question why mushoku tensei imo doesnt stand out to me in this way.

like all im asking is what im missing?

I watched the 700 episodes of Naruto +films, +OVAs, and I can say that there isn't much depth.

It does sound like you're overly hating for the sake of it. You want to say the series is trash instead of not being for you to try and avoid the whole, "oh he doesn't understand anything, it must be too complex for you to comprehend" accusations. You say the controversial stuff doesn't bother you, but the last part of your edit says otherwise. You clearly still think people who enjoy the show must be some creepy pdf file. That alone tells me it's not worth explaining, just accept it's not for you, it's not that hard.

i went back to watching mushoku tensei because I dropped it cuz the pedophilia stuff was creeping me out. i gave it another chance cuz i thought maybe I was being smooth brained for letting my personal biases cloud my judgement, and people kept saying that besides the weird stuff the story is actually a masterpiece.

Where??

I'm at season 2 and this shit is still mid as fuck. I just want to know what amazing development, worldbuilding, storytelling genius is going on here?
Most importantly season 1, it has an 8.37 on mal but this shit is still an average isekai (EDIT: i no longer think this) to me.

also so i dont get banned for the 6th time lets try not to mention the pedo stuff im just talking about the story in general. (EDIT: we ended up talking about it)
Before someone says "why do u care so much" "its just ur personal taste" im just saying im surprised cuz my taste is usually mainstream as fuck, like I usually enjoy stuff most people like. so i wanna know what aspect of this story is so appealing to people and why im missing it?

EDIT:
So yeah this series is genuinely just utter dogshit. All the characters have the depth and dimension of a cloud flattened by a hydraulic press, the designs are dumb and unimaginative, the magic system is boring and overused, the plotlines are generic and uninteresting, all the characters are unlikeable except for a select few but they have no depth or personality to them.
all in all, surprise surprise this series is more than not just for me, its actual trash. I think people just like it because rudeus is relatable and use the weak worldbuilding to back it up. Not surprised all these MH fans have kids and ecchi littered all over their profile. Thanks to all the thoughtful responses tho

I think you should read the light novel. If you still don't like it then it's okay just drop it.

@ktg tbh i was mixing up both the novels and anime, the anime still does world building well, and next season (if they do it well) should excel in everything. to answer your question, the magic system isnt nearly as good as it is in the novels i dont think, my memory might be failing me tho. also i dont watch isekai often so a lot of what this show does is pretty cool to me since i haven't seen it done like it is here anywhere else. what makes the world building good? i mean... its hard to explain? and in all honesty idgaf enough to sit on here trying to make you change your mind about the pedo isekai so this is my response since i dont want to leave you hanging. i think its a well structured show overall, i think it implements its magic, and the way politics and whatnot work very well. I think it writes its characters well, they are all pretty fucking insufferable and I like that. for you, well its not your thing.

if the op sees this, this is my response to you too, bye bye!!

I also noticed the good world building elements, e.g. flying castle or Ruijerd's backstory, but my problem is that I'm forced to watch a kid with ED, while a really good show would actually show us more about that great story and world. Like I mentioned above, this is a great story's side plot about a side character.
I can't call this great worldbuilding all in all, when we spend like 18 episodes on this SoL stuff that is far from being as good as the "main plot" of the show.

Btw, my original response to you was only about the magic system, because I was actually interested if it's better in the LN or not, because based on the anime, it is not that unique.

Magic system is definitely better explained in the LN, at least they make it clearer how it works from Rudeuses pov, it has been a while since I read about that in the novels but this is what I remember:

if you want to cast a spell you have to be able to move mana in a certain way and that is usually achieved through incantations, once you say the words mana will rush towards your hands and the spell will form, key thing here is mana movement throughout your body, if you can make mana move in the same way as it did when you used the incantation the same spell will form, and that's the first thing you need to know how to do if you want to learn silent casting, besides that you also have to start casting magic as early as you can because I guess it's easier to notice and remember how mana movement feels the younger you are this also it makes your mana pool larger so it's a good thing do regardless, and there's another thing that helps with silent casting but that's something you need to be born with and it isn't strictly necessary it just makes it easier to learn that's something that both Rudeus and Sylphie have but the anime will cover that when the time comes so I won't spoil it here.
Silent casting gives you a lot of advantages over standard incantations, Incantations are pretty much a blueprint for a spell, words of an incantation dictate how much mana will be used (more mana = more power) and how that mana will behave (stuff like what type it's, will it shoot out or not, and other miscellaneous stuff) while with silent casting you move mana manually which gives you finer control over the spell and shove more mana and you get more powerful spell, its easier to combine spells its easier to make two different kinds of spells at the same time and time of casting is drastically reduced....

As you can see, it's nothing groundbreaking but is pretty good for a magic system

Mushoku Tensei is popular, but it isn't "mainstream". Most mainstream stuff fans hate it because it isn't afraid of being morally ambiguous.

Their main characters aren't exactly good people, everybody have flaws, and that makes that world feel so real. Also, later in the series, there is a great worldbuilding, and many plots, although there are controversial, are really well-written.

My biggest problem with this show was that I just couldn't stand Rudeus, it's not a morally ambiguous thing, for me anymore, he's just an asshole. I literally can't name anything really "good" that he's done. I get that characters can't always do good, or make the "right" decision, but the only thing I remember doing during the show in the later seasons was just contemplating dropping it because of something stupid he did or happened to him, the more the show went on, the more it felt like a weeb's edgy fantasy, and the Roxy situation was just the last straw for me. I just want to ask, did you just ignore this or what?
