| "A story about a middle-aged pedophile that is reincarnated in a fantasy world where everything is conveniently set up so he can make all his pedo dreams come true without the legal and moral obstacles of the modern world. Besides that, the story is the typical generic isekai where the MC is OP with the purpose of making him seem like a cool hero. The source material is such a filthy story that even after being filtered or "toned down" every time it reached a different medium (LN, manga, anime), you can still see how messed up it is by watching the first episodes. Here are some typical excuses that are misleading: "This story is about redemption" Actually, MC continues his pedo adventures without any remorse and the author rewards him with a loli wives harem. His questionable actions when molesting children are written off as comedy in this show. "MC isn't a pedophile" He's sexually obsessed with prepubescent children, that's the literal definition of a pedophile. MC committed a heinous crime against his own little niece (leaving out the details to avoid spoiler). His obsession with little girls will continue to be evident in the fantasy world as well. "It's just fiction" That doesn't make it any less disgusting. Would you like a story about a dude with "race supremacy" sick thoughts that is reincarnated in a fantasy world where slavery is alright so he can abuse people as he wished he could in the modern world? And then have that dude live a happy life as an abuser just because the plot says "it's legal in this world"? That's a simple wish fulfillment story with zero narrative value. "MC has no choice but to be sexually attracted to little girls because he got the body of a child" 6-7 years old children are not into groping little girls like the MC does in this show, so that's actually one example on how the creepy middle-aged dude takes advantage of his child appearance. In any case, remember that this is a work of fiction, so this and any other convenient setting that allows the MC to make his pedo dreams come true (watching naked children, groping them, grooming them, loli wives harem, girls belonging to magical races that look like prepubescent children despite being older, etc), was INTENTIONALLY designed by the author. Overall, this looks like a disgusting child molestation fantasy story decorated with some generic isekai elements." Overall, very accurate review a couple additional notes that I'd like to add is that MC keeps making excuses to justify having a harem, like dude if you think harem is wrong then don't do it, just pick your loli teacher and shut off the elf and the redhead then. He always makes it look like he's a victim being forced into this harem setting. Absolutely nauseous how hypocritical this guy is. Everything is so conveniently set up, author wants 3 chicks so he stops the harem at 3 lol You'd think that for an ugly loser to be reborn into a handsome Chad with OP magical power, he'd strive to become a decent person with his 2nd chance at life but no, still back to being a creep Absolutely pathetic character with no desire to improve himself, perpetuating the escapism isekai trend of "taking it easy", "having no ambition", and "being chill" like what's the point of watching a MC with no defined goal or purpose in a story? If someone has that weak mentality then no matter how many times he/she is reborn that person will end up exactly where he/she was in the OG world... or maybe not since all those isekai MCs all have convenient PLOT ARMOR and super OP abilities that negate their weak mindset and the lack of spine |

| You can have a problem with the mc, but this review is straight up calling anyone who enjoys this a pedophile. He said this anime is about pedophilia which it's not. He said the author's intent in writing this was to fulfill his pedo tendencies which it isn't. He straight up lies in this review as well and misleads people to think this anime gratifies pedophilia and make it seem way worse than it actually is. So no I don't agree with it. You chose the wrong review to prove your point. |

spaesu said: yeah, while this review may be a bit harsh it's mostly accurate. i do still enjoy the show though, just think we could really do without the weird shit. would be a lot better if the mc was more like someone like rimuru for example. I think Rimuru is very boring as a character. There is never any negative emotion in him |

 |
| a decent review, and there is nothing wrong about wish-fulfillment, the reviewer is trying to shove his views on the reader for some reason, there is nothing wrong in enjoying an isekai about a race supremacist. |

| I mean it's a review on MAL, what do you expect it to be? |
| If this review is trying to make me want to watch the show, it's succeeding. |

| I personally think the review is spot on and I dropped the anime after today's episode. People love to say "HA! I cant wait for people to be triggered over this episode!!!" but like why? Please explain to me what value making Rudy an incestuous pedophile (Earlier in the story he is caught fapping to a video of his niece in the bathroom and later he tries to finger a 12 year old) adds to the story? It adds literally nothing. Having a shut-in NEET overcome severe anxiety would have been a fine story to follow, but why make Rudy the way he is and write it off as comedy or "normal"? It's neither of those two things and is just completely out of place and completely retracts from the good elements that Mushoku Tensei has going for it. Quite honestly it feels like the author himself was a pedophile trying to live out his fantasies through his character, and ended up creating a character that I have no desire to follow and, quite frankly, would rather see killed off. |

| So now we make a review on a review?...Interesting... |
| I mean parts of the review are wrong. Like him being a "OP hero". He can't beat a kid in a sword fight, that doesn't sound OP to me. Half of the review is just calling the anime a pedophile anime without stating anything else wrong with it. Then he reviews the fanbase. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| Also this review has spoilers in it. Why isn't it removed yet |
|
| Whoever wrote that review isn't watching the same anime I'm watching. |
| He died at 34 without touching a women so i think this situation is accetable, it's like he's doing this things for the first time, the fact he has 34+7 years doesn't make sense in my theory because it's like he has never been an adult in the real sense of the word, being an adult doesn't mean only being 18+ |

| Yawn. Yet another guy who doesn't understand that pedophilia isn't a crime. Abusing and assaulting real human children is a crime. Cartoons are not considered to meet that criterion in the EU, Japan and the US, they partly meet it in Canada and Australia. So dear reviewer, I appreciate your messianic complex but it's misguided. The freedom of art and speech of the creators is the higher constitutional value than your moral values. You recommended other adults what to do (or not to do) with the review, thanks for your community service. And now just drop the show and move on. |

"This story is about redemption" Actually, MC continues his pedo adventures without any remorse and the author rewards him with a loli wives harem. His questionable actions when molesting children are written off as comedy in this show. How does that refute the story being a story of redemption. His pedophilic actions emphasise how much of a piece of shit he is and shows how he hasn't miraculously transformed into a paragon of purity by getting isekai'd. Do you think immediately after going to this new world he would suddenly become a perfect person? Do you think that would make a compelling story of redemption? "It's just fiction" That doesn't make it any less disgusting How on earth is this drawing touching another drawing less disgusting than a human sexually harassing another human child? Does the show need a disclaimer saying "No children were sexually harassed in the making of this anime" for you to be satisfied? Anway, Big fat voluptuous round anime tiddies. |

Cartoons are not considered to meet that criterion in the EU, Japan and the US, they partly meet it in Canada and Australia. We all know that right-wing extremists exploit delicate subject matters such as pedophilia to gain easy populist points for their authoritarian, pro-censorship attitude. This is a cheap trick. Remember what Donald Trump replied when asked about the terrorist group Proud Boys: "I think they are against pedophilia." I totally agree real world crime should be prosecuted, and even more so if the victims are children. But pointless rants against "pedophiles" is usually either closet pedophilia of the writer, or populism. |

RareWRLD said: I'm so tired of seeing pedophilia arguments every day I feel like it's draining me It's ok to have shows like non non biyori in which the lolicon aspect is subtle and friendly. If it's of sexual nature, then it'll be hentai and off to the prawn section. THIS, however, is a full blown anime series with very overt pedophilic content, some scenes have to be forcefully modified to be more palatable but doesn't change the fact that the author of this show clearly has some very disturbing thoughts about children He reminds me of the Act Age author who also got in hot water, he also has similarly disturbing thoughts but if not for him being arrested for actual crime then the public would never be aware of his mental issues |

RareWRLD said: "Pedophilic materials", what would that be? If you talk about child pornography, which are depictions of real humans or photo-realistic virtual humans, yes ownership is a crime in about all legislations on this planet. But cartoons are not considered child pornography as per general legal decision in neither the EU, Japan, nor the USA.Futari_no_Ossan said: dude possessing pedophilic materials does not equal pedophilia Sure b0ss I guess the guys who got arrested for possessing pedophilic materials probably think like that too until they get thrown in jail.

| The review's a little extreme. While I don't like how the sexual stuff have been handled so far, it's still unclear where it's leading. I'll judge for myself whether this is a "redemption arc" when we're more than 8 episodes in. |

RareWRLD said: That comes on top of it all, probably. An important point is that the wording and definitions are used intentionally sloppy by extremists, usually from the extremist right or theist fundamentalists. They weaponize pedophilia just like homosexuality was weaponized until the middle of the last century. And I consider this nauseating and politically exploitative. This is why I speak up against it, despite the fact part of the smear sticks with me in return because I "defend pedophiles". I don't, I defend the rule of the law and the freedoms guaranteed to artists by it.inim said: "Pedophilic materials", what would that be? If you talk about child pornography, which are depictions of real humans or photo-realistic virtual humans, yes ownership is a crime in about all legislations on this planet. But cartoons are not considered child pornography as per general legal decision in neither the EU, Japan, nor the USA. Yeah, but possessing any of those does not equal pedoplhilia. This dude probably just realized himself that government doesn't actively seek to jail people with just pedophilia as a diagnosis, and so he quoted you wrongly What the world needs least are self-proclaimed populist white knights and closet pedophiles overcompensating in public. |

| The reviewer is not really wrong about it. Mc reincarnates from a UB to a chad harem king op isekai protag. So far I do not see any "redemption" for Rudeus unless getting 3 waifus count. I like the show, but it does appear to be a rather standard isekai. |

| We get it... it's messed up. Welcome to anime. Don't have to overanalyze everything... People like this need to write some reviews for anime like highschool dxd. Now that would be some good shit. "the mc is very inappropriate and likes to touch bewbies" wait what really? Now I can't watch it anymore because it really made me NOT want to watch it. Dangit, guess I'll try to find some PG anime then. sigh |

The reviewer wasn't stating anything else wrong with the anime other than the pedophillia and the MC being "OP". Hes able to use advanced magic at a young age because he has knowledge and memories from his other life. Plus, he had a tutor teaching him. It took him years to do it also. Like I said, hes only OP against people without magic. If someone learned the same as he did they would be in the same, or possibly better position. |

| Why did I read this...why....why.... I have yet to watch the anime, you are making excuses about people making excuses. I feel like this is a justification for the belief of moral superiority. If people knew what it was from the source before it got toned down complaining about it seems excessive. Sorta like "I knew the fire was hot because I burned myself on that fire that one time, but because the fire was half the size I didnt think it would be so hot. boy was I wrong let me bitch about it somewhere" Let me watch this anime that I knew going in was about what I believe to be pedophilia(it is stated that they knew about it in the written material) and then when I realize this is also about what I believe to be pedophilia(absolute fuckin shocker its the same as the source....mind blown) I will call anyone who has watched it other than myself a pedophile to cleanse my soul of the back of mind belief I might now be a pedophile because I watched it. Not hypocritical at all right? |
