6/10 At most, very weak this season with stupid ideas and spoiled the personality of several characters... Typical anime that only a virgin teenager will like and find a masterpiece
Not gonna lie, there were many moments in this anime I had to reflect on my own life, and putting more thought into how I am in respect to my family. It gives me a glimpse of the difference between being a big brother, son, and father.
Rudeus temporarily freaks out because of the so called regret Hitogami warned him of. He then announces Paul's death to the family. He explains everything to Sylphiette, Aisha and Norn. Norn was being reasonable this episode.
When Rudeus confessed taking Roxy as his second wife, Norn reacted for Sylphiette. But Sylphiette welcomed Roxy warmly. Roxy wanted to wait for the baby to be born before they get married.
Sylphiette gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Lucy Greyrat. He married Roxy.
They finally showed Eris in this part, though only her back.
I’ve seen so many comments with various opinions. It’s the author who determines the direction of the story, and of course, sometimes their personal thoughts, kink, fantasies, and preferences are reflected in the work. Honestly, a harem setting fits well within this world and the female characters, but don't you all see the real issue? It's about consent and dishonesty—it’s absolutely wrong to promise your wife you’ll be faithful while she’s carrying your child, only to break that promise. The problem isn't the harem itself; it’s Rudeus’ actions. The story could’ve been handled much better, without resorting to cheating, but that's just my opinion.
Where do I even start with this show/story. There are too many issues that I have with the show despite the show having the best and clean animation to boot. Honestly it has beautiful looking settings that looks unique but I felt like they are just a freaking backdrop to give a fantasy feel. They barely explored and most of the time I always feel like the show breeze through the story very fast that it never really feel like we ever sinking ourself into the environment to explore. So with the show boasting great world building, this is just a total waste at best. The same can be said with its magic system and the monsters. They tend to be leaning to offensive and powerful side which make it lacking varieties and capabilities. All the monsters are gruesome looking but generic since the beginning to end.
Then the characters and the overall narrative. Oh boy, look at how the show/story massacre the female characters for the sake of "building big family" ala Rudeus. All of them just turned into submissive, all loving kind wives to give an ugly bastard/ scumbag a "good life." I can say that the author really made a perfect fantasy that could made harem feels justified to one's will. I'd rather be a scumbag than having a regret, he said. His partners never have any agency themselves once they become his love interest. When I thought Slyphie is the worst heroine, the author managed to make a twist by forcing a change in Roxy's character. She stoop so low to the point of "taking advantage" knowingly he already has a wife and just grieving for the death of his father. Then she also forcing her way to be the second wife right in front of his family that have waited for him after a long time, seriously? Despite all of this, one thing is very certain to me. Nord is inarguably the best character in Mushoku Tensei, nuff said. Her insecurity for living with someone distant to her and how she's the only one that aginst Rudeus excuse or BS to have second wife really make her the only character that feels genuine. I also don't like how things come rather easily to him like everything is given to him in silver platter without much difficulty at all. From the demon eye, potion, teleportation map and lastly the girls with their vanilla taste ice cream lmao.
