Could you explain how something like Even things such as Ghislaine talking about her party and they had a shadow of all the members, watching that now you can actually name them all when all you knew was 3 at that time. Could even add Roxys real age being in her 40s but Rudy thought she was a teen, then you got Roxys former party who both of the living members had an encounter with Rudeus and his crew. Relates to world building?Look I know your clearly focusing on this because you have no point on the world building(your actual argument). dabdabgoose said: Well you see in Isekai Cheat Magician, Taichi was shown purchasing food. Which shows that one would not survive in this world of commerce if they don't posses the capability to make money. not being able to read or calculate meant she couldn't survive on a world of commerce? dabdabgoose said: Well whoop-de-do. You see Isekai Cheat Magician has great world building for expanding our view of new races like elves. The other party members who when you see them expand your view of new races(namely Elves and Dwarfs and whatever Demon race Geese is supposed to be). So in conclusion. Isekai Cheat Magician has 10/10 world building. But really, these are the examples you bring up when trying to present Mushoku Tensei as having good world building? If anything, that should speak volume of MT's world building as a whole. dabdabgoose said: What are you on about? This has always been the focus. I merely picked a singular example that you made and asked you to expand on it. Which, to no ones surprise, didn't go particularly well. Look I know your clearly focusing on this because you have no point on the world building(your actual argument). Sigmar-Unberogen said: Certain someone here seems to have forgotten how to quote others. I'll return the favor. Considering he imagines others to be trolls, it's no surprise he'd miss my explanation to why I, and that other dude I was talking with, consider worldbuilding in this show weak and this particular episode - abysmal. Episode 9 was trash, with the exception of final few minutes. Aisha figuring out the truth was predictable, but still an ok moment. The rest - horrendous. The kingdom we're in was not explained at all! The princes, the king, the infiltration? Who needs any of that? Roxy figure is what actually matters! Worldbuilding my ass. Now that they revealed an actual Roxy figure on sale, this episode becomes nothing than an AD; a promotion for sale! This is "The Truman show" type of crap. Since the comparison hit the nerve, I'll explain that I brought up Seirei Gensouki because even something that average spent more time exploring the demi-human village. Was Milis explained? The current kingdom? This anime certainly prioritizes other bullshit over actual plot and worldbuilding sometimes. That was the case in episode 1 and now the same happened with episode 9. I don't need to be a hater to see something so obvious. Once again, I couldn't care less if LN fills the gaps for you, or the knowledge of what's to come makes the judgment seem trollish/unfair. And yes thank you. Someone who actually understands what world building is. This is why I initially said I agreed with your statement. If MT is supposed to have such great world building, why haven't they actually explored the regions they've visited. But that apparently doesn't matter, because a character not being able to read or calculate means "they wouldn't survive in a world of commerce" and introducing new races is obviously peak world building. I bet you haven't seen any other isekai do that have you? Oh wait you have? Ah shit. Sigmar-Unberogen said: Also this. I was initially confused why in the world they spent so much time on a loli figurine in this episode (or well not really since it's MT after all). And then the same literal day, they announce that figurine being on sale. I mean to be fair, it's peak world building. Part of Mushoku Tensei's world is added into our own. Now that they revealed an actual Roxy figure on sale, this episode becomes nothing than an AD; a promotion for sale! This is "The Truman show" type of crap. If your not going to address it and just try and play games it's obvious I was correct in taking you for someone with a disingenuous argument aka a troll. I'm not saying there are not criticisms to be had of this show but yours are literally on the strongest points of the show, given you have watched nearly a 1000 animes on your list I would assume you can work out what point your trying to come across. You can dismiss me as a troll all you want. But that just proves the point made earlier. The reason I didn't address the things you posted before, like the map and stuff, is because you were adding stuff on top of what we were already discussing. I'm not going to start discussing new things if we haven't even finished talking about the previous things. If you wanted to discuss that afterwards then I would've been 100% fine with it. But it's obvious we should take one thing at a time. Because it seemed like you just didn't have a valid response to what I said and thus you changed the goalpost by adding in new stuff to talk about. In fact, I took that as you ignoring my points. I mean even now you didn't really reply to anything said, you just basically replied "lol troll". And if world building is this show's strongest point...Then that just tells me this show doesn't have a lot going for it. This is a Red Herring and you know it. |

And in your case, it was so obvious, so stop pretending like you didn't do it. |

@dabdabgoose The show isn't a 3rd person perspective, it's a POV of rudeus life, the only people who get a POV are those related to his story, explaining the kingdom isn't fully relevent to his story and he hasn't been there long enough for you to get the entricate details. Why am I not surprised to hear sugarcoating from a guy with Rudeus as an avatar and 10/10 to this anime. Intricate details? Seriously? We hardly learned the simplest things about the kingdom and it seems like the next episode will take us elsewhere. Are you saying the sloppy worldbuilding has to be excused because it isn't in a 3rd person perspective? My point was, the show rather spend time on bullshit and fanservice, rather than actual worldbuilding. And this isn't happening for the first time!Complain about the Roxy figure all you like it's more plot relevent then the pretty much anything else in the story, I mean, I also heard why the elf-slut does what she does. Doesn't make her "plot out of your average hentai" any less ludicrous. Don't hide behind bad writing and world building and just say you don't like it, atleast you will be honest. |

You actually ignored literally everything I said, which funnily enough, you now complain about me doing. Despite even as you complained about me ignoring you, you in that very moment ignored me. It's just hypocritical. But regardless it doesn't matter even if I would respond to what you posted. The map is comically dumb and the language thing is nothing new or impressive. But it doesn't matter cause as you yourself have proven, you are obviously intent on dismissing anyone who so much as criticize MT and just call them a "troll". |

@Avicebrons I did reply to them though, but I also added a disclaimer in each post saying your ignoring the rest of my points on that subject.

Sigmar-Unberogen said: @Kenn024 That's actually a perfect way of Advertisement? considering the source material do the same. They went so far as to showcase the figure which I find surprisingly good. Also, the princes and the king didn't quite important to the plot therefore why would they include it? It will be explained in OVA which I suppose not only includes Eris Goblin Quest but other stuff which is quite important for the future plots. This anime certainly prioritizes other bullshit over actual plot and worldbuilding sometimes. Nope, they had explained enough world-building back in the previous episode? I am quite new in the MAL and it takes time for me to figure out how to quote. Sigmar-Unberogen said: As a marketing ploy it's good; as a plot-point - disgraceful waste of time. Makes you wonder if Zanoba as a character was created for a sole purpose to cater to Otakus, figurine fanatics or Roxy fans. Of course, the author will likely not be that stupid to discard a character after using him for an AD, but I have high doubts about his initial intents now. It may be a disgraceful waste of time and you might find that he's not an important character. But that's the point of introduction of his character whatever stupid it is and his dedication to the figure should be taken seriously because there's a plot around the figure itself. Sigmar-Unberogen said: I don't know what makes you say that? We've seen the prince since Part 1 + how can a supposedly powerful kingdom/king be unimportant??? Do you base this argument on LN? (meaning, even in the future the kingdom/king is irrelevant?) The importance isn't about relevant to the lore of the kingdom but relevant to the protagonist of the story therefore the audience which is not the source reader didn't feel confused about the amount of lore. Therefore as far we know that Pax and Zanoba are the prince and has authority over soldier right? Sigmar-Unberogen said: well please do the honors of explaining how the last episode did that? The only thing I liked about the kingdom was its looks (art). Somehow it reminded me of "prince of Persia". Did we learn anything about the kingdom apart from there are "fishy" guards who are obviously not you typical "bad guys"? The prince has Aisha's mom in captivity. The Prince's loyal guard-woman is also "fishy" and doesn't seem to like obeying his deceitful orders. Did I miss something here??? Pax the prince captive the soldier and ginger family therefore he had control of them. We could see their reaction which is quite uncomfortable under his authority right? but why wouldn't they help Rudeus instead? Of course, they would prioritize their family first over the stranger but they will help him escape indirectly by calling Eris and Ruijerd for help but it seems Rudeus doesn't need help because of Zanoba recognition of him over Roxy Figure. It is all according to Hitogami advice and it works well. It might be missed something. just tell me the thing you might find confusing. |

@Avicebrons message=65072907] dabdabgoose said: you call the figurine shitty fan service but it results in Rudeus getting out of that predicament and allowing him to forge a relationship with the 3rd prince. Yes. That's what we call fan service and shitty writing @dabdabgoose It's like saying a song of ice and fire has shitty world building because half of Essos has very minor information even though the story will never go there, Rudeus is traveling from place to place what relavency to the story is there to know about it. You couldn't even work out why it was there yet your complaining about the shitty writing, I mean atleast understand what each scene means before you can say it. We have close to 0 info regarding lands Rudy travels. I wouldn't care too much about "what lies far beyond the horizon" if "what lies before the eyes" was explained better! It's a poor writing and shitty worldbuilding when the world Rudy sees with his own eyes is just an image - a beautiful picture of fictional cities. That's it - a slideshow! If figurines play a major part in the future, sorry but I'm not discussing LN here, I'm judging what I see. Knowing the source is clouding your judgment when it comes to discussing the anime. |

Once again, I'm not talking about LN. Well, to put it simply they travel a lot of places and each of the places has a different architecture and its own uniqueness. But if you want to look at the definition on google: "What is considered world-building? What Is Worldbuilding? Worldbuilding is the part of the writing process that sets up where your story takes place. When you build a world, you include the landscape that your characters will inhabit, the tone of your story, its major preoccupations and themes, as well as the nature of its morality." Would you consider the anime did a great job on the world-building or did a bad job at giving the audience a glimpse of world-building and only give a slideshow of each new place they traveled? The choice is yours. The animator did a great job just giving a slideshow and not to mentioning the hard work they done is for nothing. |

Sigmar-Unberogen said: It's personalised not General world building that's what makes it good world building in it's own right. You get to see his narration intertwined with the world as he learns it, He learns of the other languages which is part of it well before he needs to use it and explains how say for example battle god language is similar to human language unlike the demon language which you wouldn't really know if you heard it all because it's just all just a different language from our perspective.With all this considered, how can anyone say this show has amazing worldbuilding then? All I read here is you telling me how worldbuilding is given little attention, and is rather insignificant because of limitations applied to FPV. In other words, since the story is not told in 3rd person, it's virtually impossible to explore the world the way GOT does. So, tell me how you define a good worldbuilding then? Once again, I'm not talking about LN. With the Migurd Tribe you learn that they speak telepathy and that certain folk can actually speak demon language that you wouldn't of known if it was general since they keep to themselves. you get first hand experience of how the Superd tribe is treated compared to the other races due to the history of the Laplace war with the cursed Spears (which then relates to the figurines in a way for Rudeus to improve their reputation), The daily life of the demon continent comes with narration commentary on how much of a struggle it is compared to the Human world(in Rudeus case the central continent) eating what looks like insects and the like as compared to conventional farm animals because they don't exist there. There is more obviously but to not drag on, to complain about the World building wouldn't be relevant without a complaint about the entire POV aspect first because it's intertwined, but that is how the story is told it's ideal for high detail character based stories that can work in a immersive way on the world they see. Your criticisms are true if it was a 3rd person story but you have to look at world building different when it's a different perspective because your creating an inapplicable situation as using the same standard for both isn't possible. That's not to say it's not great world building, it's different and from this perspective I don't see much to fault from this series, they show what needs to be shown and add some detail from the First person perspective atleast and move on the story. The OPs at the start of episodes give that little bit more perspective of each area then what you wouldn't normally get just from the POV view as well so it's not like they don't push it as far as they can. |

It's absolutely hilarious how the LN's first-person perspective should somehow dictate how we view the adaption, especially given the adaptions method of storytelling isn't unlike a lot of shows yet is the criticisms are still somehow inapplicable cuz source material.

One by one we've been gradually learning what happened to the teleported members of Rudeus' family. We've now found out about Paul, Norn, Aisha and Lilya, so only Zenith's whereabouts are unknown. Apart from them though we still do not know what happened to Sylphie, Ghislaine and the rest of Eris' family (beside her grandpa). This was a nice and rather funny episode. The third prince is an OP otaku, both he and his repulsive brother were shipped away, apparently by the king or queen -they got equal punishment although Zanoba just broke the arm of Pax, wtf?- and Aisha appears to be much smarter than most thought, including her own mother. She will make a fine maid; maybe, who knows, she might be a battle maid :) The next episode is called Turning Point 2, which sounds quite ominous. As far as I recall the end of Turning Point 1 featured the mass teleportation. So I suppose something similarly major is going to happen in the next episode. |

I might be horrible unproductive right here and now. But Im on MaL. That's what this is for... I don't watch anime I don't like. I feel it is a waste of my time. It's called dropping the anime, which I think most of the people complaining should do if they hate it so much. Now, I can argue where I think the story is less than stellar. I don't like the change in narrators. I would have preferred a show-don't-tell approach and let Rudy's actions be the focus of the story. This will be an issue of mine probably in episode 22. That being said, the characterization is consistent and the protagonist is morally complex, which I find compelling and more grounded. Do I feel uncomfortable with certain scenes? Honestly, no, because it is part of the protagonist's journey. It is clear that he is trying to live life differently and not always succeeding, which is realistic and engaging. It makes the viewer/reader want to see if he can succeed by the end of the story. One of the advantages of anime is that you can deal with issues that are real but not compatible with live-action stories. Koi Kaze was one such story that really touched me. Now I wouldn't suggest this anime to my 13 year old but that's fine. She can watch Fairy Tale or JJK. There is very little in the way of anime that serves the more mature audience and this one of the few. Odd Taxi was another. I like this development. |

Without elaborating your point as expected from you though of course. I guess it would be really funny if I told you I haven't even read the LN yet because I didn't really need to, to understand it's a POV story. Local MT stan continues to go on about a point I didn't make, so fiery in his conviction to argue this one point as if his life depended on it despite no one actually saying otherwise.I see you on all kinds of message boards ragging on MT. That's fair. You don't like it. But why so much energy in telling the world so? You don't have to watch it. It's popular and your opinion isn't going to change that. It would be a more productive use of your energy to watch what you enjoy and let others watch what they enjoy. Wait...isn't that the point of this Website? Stating your Opinion on Anime and why you love/hate Show's? By your Logic nothing is ever worth talking about xD You're basically saying: "You don't like it? Great, keep it to yourself" Which is really weird consedering you're were talking about "beeing more productive" Here I go: I think it's pretty lame that everytime Rudy faces a problem a random plot-device (like Zanoba) is written into the Show. I get it. It's a power Fantasy and Rudy is bound to be pretty succesful (and horny) in everything he does. Still. I don't like this writing Style. And I think that is fair to say? I might be horrible unproductive right here and now. But Im on MaL. That's what this is for... I don't watch anime I don't like. I feel it is a waste of my time. It's called dropping the anime, which I think most of the people complaining should do if they hate it so much. Now, I can argue where I think the story is less than stellar. I don't like the change in narrators. I would have preferred a show-don't-tell approach and let Rudy's actions be the focus of the story. This will be an issue of mine probably in episode 22. That being said, the characterization is consistent and the protagonist is morally complex, which I find compelling and more grounded. Do I feel uncomfortable with certain scenes? Honestly, no, because it is part of the protagonist's journey. It is clear that he is trying to live life differently and not always succeeding, which is realistic and engaging. It makes the viewer/reader want to see if he can succeed by the end of the story. One of the advantages of anime is that you can deal with issues that are real but not compatible with live-action stories. Koi Kaze was one such story that really touched me. Now I wouldn't suggest this anime to my 13 year old but that's fine. She can watch Fairy Tale or JJK. There is very little in the way of anime that serves the more mature audience and this one of the few. Odd Taxi was another. I like this development. Ye, nice^^ We have different opinions. That's fine. But that was never my point. I just feel by you saying "Drop it, don't watch it" you're defeating the purpose of this Website. That's all Im saying. Im not even arguing about the Show at this point xD I just didn't understand why you couldn't do the same: Accepting other Opinions on this particular Show instead of just wanting everybody to stop criticizing. |

It was so underwhelming to see how effortlessly Rudy got free. The otaku prince was cringe in human form. The whole drama and tension annihilated by retarded otaku jokes... What makes you so sure that's a good thing for him, tho? What if Rudy having an ''easy time'' is actually a bad thing, storywise? And what makes you so sure he isnt lying? The god character doesn't seem like a very trustworthy character to me. If Rudy didnt so easily do what others tell him to do, the story would be much more interesting.. |

It's nice to see Rudeus getting along with his little sister Aisha. I also like that the prince is calling Rudy Master |

Zanoba is more of a pervert with passion than Rudeus XD But Zanoba being so strong was quite unexpected. Finally Lilia and Aisha were saved. So are they going to where Paul is right now? That motherly hug that Lilia gave Rudeus was so touching. Aisha is so smart. She knew that Kennel Master was her perverted brother all along XD but it was so cute when she apologized for calling Rudeus a perverted brother XD |

Aisha is a good kid but where is she and Lilia going to go now? Back to Paul probably. And I like Zanoba lol he was seriously so close to killing his own brother. |

The show has just not yet given Norn the proper treatment, her development later won will be truly warming to see. Meanwhile the adaptation really brought the feels this episode, the OST was exceptional here, it played at the perfect moments, twice it tug on my heart, truly well done!

this is the worst possible resolution to such a potentially interesting setup in the previous episode. they literally introduced another character who through the power of horny otaku simping ex-machina'd all of Rudeus' problems away. this is the kind of shit I'd expect from a naruto filler arc. Despite how immature and goofy Pax was he at least presented a threat to Rudeus. I thought we were in for a magic battle (guess they were saving that one for next episode), but instead he just gets knocked out by a neutral third party. Not to mention this story had a lot of weight since Lilya is one of several of his extended family they are on a mission to save - and so the resolution should have been more difficult to match the audience investment and make Lilya's rescue feel earned. not to mention - why do the guards obey him when he ordered them to lock up their own families? How did this hostage situation even begin? And who is guarding the palace guard's families? Because there has to be at least 1 person who is loyal to the prince in order for them to do his bidding. Genuinely tismic logic on display I don't even want to begin with my complaints about Aisha's opinions of Rudeus, and at what point she realised it - and how she was mature enough to understand the concept of a false identity prank. |

This is a good episode for sure. I quite liked Zanoba's character, I have a thing for those kind of crackheads, but he isn't all that tbf so... Anyway, things got really sweet at the end. I liked Aisha and Lilia being here to make things nicer just a bit. So overall good stuff. |

lilia's insticts kicking INN while that weirdass teleportation light were coming towards them as she just held aisha close. im really worried about zenith and sylph now fuckk rudeus got teleported with elis, lilia with aisha and paul with norn. pretty sure zenith and sylph weren't holding each other when teleporting so they're possibly alone? god i hope they're okay zanona guy was op as fuckk too bad he's an otaku lmao that ending with aisha :]] with how smart she is, its not surprising that she already knew that kennel-san is rudeus |

Ooo kind of a Lilia's POV in the beginning this time :o Aisha and Lilia's mother and daughter relationship is so cute but man got tortured after just asking a simple question about Roxy's presence :(. Zanoba looks like pax but a lot skinnier but he sure does act like an actual otaku with those figures talk xD, anyways the figure design looks cool really cool and I like how Zanoba just showcasing the whole aspect with and without clothing of one single Roxy figure xD I really wanna get this merchandise :P Oh great Ruby actually forward his explanation that made Zanoba explode his head xD Damn the guards gave them a request to rescue their families to get Rudy out hopefully. Kind of worried if it will take a long time to do so because where are the families located in hostage specifically :o? Ah yes Zanoba back with his otaku behavior yet again, I need to exchange figures with him later on if he's ever still alive. LMFAO Zanoba dragging Pax <- while he's naked is the most hilarious thing I've seen but I get that he wants to achieve his goal to become Rudy's apprentice and damn that embarrassment continues but in a aggressive way xD Oh my it's beautiful how everyone's family are back, feels like a happy reunion for all of them. LMFAOO Lilia just gave Rudy some panties but still I don't know what's the great deal of giving him a panties. Honestly, I'm missing Sylphie, never get to see her a lot :c and awh Lilia treating Rudy like a step-mom :3!~ Ooh Aisha going on a journey with Rudy? I'm in because she better learn some new ability as she's already grown becoming a genius and awh Aisha is too adorable it's giving some sweet vibes >c< and I'm looking forward when this will happen but got hella shocked however I knew that Aisha knows about Rudy to be her brother after all. Ah yes, love how it ends with Zanoba screaming for Rudy's presence, what a true otaku would do! |

Wow, this was the smartest ad ever -- I didn't even realize it was lowkey a shoutout to their new merch. Indeed it's cool that she has three arms lmao. But also did Zanoba really need to sell his guard when he could have threatened his way into a good time? Looks like the whole line simps for her though. Also Aisha waving goodbye was so cute. Made my eyes water a little. I assume the whole growing into a voluptuous woman was her attempt to test how creepy he is -- which...in some regards... if possible he's met the bare minimum of not simping over his sister. Tbh, so far she seems like the better of the two sisters although I guess grief is handled differently (i.e. Aisha never saw him "bullying" their dad). Also on a tangent, I know this isn't intentional but with the magenta/reddish hair-- when Aisha stands next to Eris -- in some warped way she looks like she could have been Eris's and Rudy's offspring Does this mean Rudeus's mom is currently all alone if not dead from the split? Mode11 said: -- Yeah this was the weirdest fucking plothole-- that I was wondering about too. Either she also carries it on her person like her most prized possession... or... I don't know really. It seems like a clunky item to carry. But also weird to think she could have probably bought her freedom from Pax by just telling him it's Roxy's.How did Lilya manage to gave the gift to Rudeus. From the start they have nothing Lilya and her daughter have been teleported and the pantsu looks like it's still in their home.. Idk |

The whole rudeus being captured and used as a bait is different from what i read in the manga , it was a sneaking scene to the casle to save aicha and lilia , so fun chapter i recomend it so much , chapter 43-44 maybe |

Zanoba being strong was kinda funny and epic at the same time. He's weird but at least he isn't hurting anyone unlike his awful brother Pax. |

Well... except tearing his younger brother's head off at a younger age. That might have stung a little bit I'd imagine. But yeah, Pax definitely is scummier while Zanoba's more out-of-control, still enjoyed him though here lol. |
