| So who was the person at the very end talking highly of Rudeus? |
| "I only studied a little bit of history and I have learned there are two current thoughts in human history. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When the war begins, it is on the pretext of the former type of people and it justify the latter when the war ends" |
| 08/10 season 3 pls |
| I'm actually very disappointed with this episode. This is the first episode in this series to leave a sour taste in my mouth. They did a really poor job at adapting the Roxy stuff and mishandled Fits' and Ariel's introduction, skipping lots of important stuff in favor of using the time with Rudy's introspection. A lot of nice chapters were ruined with this. It would've been best to save the Fits/Ariel and Roxy stuff for later, be it OVAs, movies or just next season, or have focused this episode on just one of these. Maybe I'm just being salty as a LN reader, which is normal usually, but this is the first time with Mushoku for me. I'm also concerned for two things: - There was no announcement of a new season, which signals wavering commitment. Given a studio was created specifically to adapt a completed series, I expect full commitment. - The scene with Fits is out of place (timing wise). I fear they might skip Sara's arc. I love this series, and was going to give it a 10 despite a few flaws, but all this made me drop it to a 7. |
| And the pain continues into the final episode but Rudeus has finally managed to take the extra step, and that was really touching honestly. Eris's reason for leaving his side didn't fully convince me in all fairness but well. Zenith-san being the catalyst for Rudeus to overcome his hurdle was fitting, and the direction during the whole scene and buildup was amazing. Roxy finding out about Rudeus's family state was interesting to note, I wonder what's her plan. Also, I wonder why the Demon lord or whatever xD couldn't see Zenith-san clearly like the remaining members. Sylphy in the end there, I'm almost certain lol. Mentor, saviour, respect etc, that's high praise alright. "Op & ED - Boy, I'm definitely going to miss these." - Such was my impression from the previous cour, and likewise this time around too. ED's visuals in particular were a treat to keep up with. All in all, the season definitely felt weaker than its predecessor for me. For some reason, the developments didn't seem to get me invested for periods of time but then there were moments like the one from this episode mentioned previously that pulled it up for me. As such, I'm going to settle with a generous 6/10 here. Definitely down for another season or two, heard we are already one-third into the whole story so why not the whole? |

| I love that they showed Rudy reverting back to his past life and being paralyzed now that he feels all alone once again. Lesser stories would have had Rudy move forward right away, but this was a much more realistic route that makes this anime so special. Loved how they contrasted it with all the people Rudy has helped throughout the season and hear how much faith they have in him. I think the 1st & 2nd cours make this series the definitive AOTY. This is something people years down the line will watch and enjoy. If the rest of the series gets this same treatment it’ll end up as one of the greatest of all time. |
| Beautiful character development. Definitely the best anime of this year, at least for me. 10/10 |

The light novels have that and the manga's getting an adaptation of that too, so no reason why the anime would skip out on that when time comes. |
| 10/10 Studio Bind ThNks for showing this much love while making MT. Season 2!! Waiting till 2023 is no big deal. |
 |
| time to wait for a second season announcementttt |
  |
| I think imma give this anime a 9,Dem,this was sch a ride,I love everything abt it,season 2 whn though? I need moreeeee So the studio was only made for this anime so there's bound to be another season in a short time right?like 6 months maybe? |
 |
| Zenith's scene was just too beautiful and powerful, seeing how she was so thankful and proud of Rudy and the affection emanating from her face really tugged at my heartstrings and I almost cried because it made me think of my own mother and how much I love her. I really hope we find Zenith soon. She is a top tier mommy. The whole scene felt like it was the push Rudy really needed to stop brooding over the past and move forward with his life because he's not just living for himself anymore and he has to take action because so many count on him to do the right thing. The direction for this episode was just incredible and I like how they moved the extra chapter of Zenith from vol 1 to this episode because it fits here perfectly, as if it belonged here from the beginning. My only nitpick is I wish they could've gone with the line "Thank you for being born" instead of "I love you" like in the Light novel, but I'm not too bothered by it. I also really want to thank Studio Bind and the amazing work they put into this passion project, every episode oozed with so much love and care, I haven't enjoyed anime like this in a long time. I'm sure every MT fan feels the same way, we're so grateful to you guys. This was a fantastic adaptation and a 10/10 experience. Sad there was no announcement for a second season, I'll be praying for one soon. |

| Good show, decent ending, still kinda overrated. Wonder how long they''ll wait to announce season 2? Don't have much to say other then please can future anime stop with the over the top unbelievable bullying trope. Every time they wanted to show pre isekai Rudy on the school gate it was more comical then sad cause it's less believable then Rudy getting isekaid |
| An introspective Rudeus contemplates his next move as we see glimpses of the people he's interacted with along the way in this finale of the second half of Mushoku Tensei's first season. Interweaving Rudeus' previous life self with his current situation turned out to be pretty emotionally effective for me. And the ending cliffhanger, to find his mother, was strong enough that I certainly want to see it happen. Considering I heard that the animation studio behind this was formed with the sole intent of adapting this series I'm assuming it will happen, eventually. I hope I get to see it. 9/10 |
| At last Sylphiette right!!!! Can't wait for season 3 May will move on to light novels... |
 |
| I've loved this season, it feels like a real journey . Cant say I'm a fan of short haired Eris, its a shame she's basically out of the series for the forseasble. I really hope we get a season 2 announcement soon. 10/10 |
Illegalcraft said: I agree but I expected her to look bad with the short oneAshhk said: tbh shes better with long hairShort hair Eris is better than I expected, she looks great this way, and well now she's on her trip with Ghislaine to train harder and be able to protect Rudeus properly this time, her goals are understandable to be honest but that's so hard for Rudeus leaving him like that and how depressed he his. It's also good that we get to see what is currently doing most of the characters we saw this season, I'm happy for Ruijerd that he found people that are actually kind with him and not running away, Roxy and her group now where are most of Rudeus' family and they even know his condition thanks to that other demon girl xD especially nice to see Paul reunited with his other daughter and the maid. Though the parallel with Rudeus' previous life makes sense, now he has to move forward after realizing how important his mother is for him now. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how things will turn out next, this season was way better than the 1st one for me after episode 2 of (ep 1 and 2 of this season were lame IMO) but ep 3 to 12 were on a high level I didn't expect at all, especially because they remove most of Rudeus' horrible behavior and all the other oddly sexual things (except few elements but whatever) and this time they handled perfectly the sex scene, and I also feel like they did more effort on the direction like during Orsted meeting for example (and same for the animation) I hope that the 3rd season will be on the same level and not back to how things were during the 1st one |

True, after all bullies, even more extreme does not exist in real world /s . While not being hung naked by gate, I was pretty fucking close to have my eyeball burnt by cig, and almost strangled as well during middle school times, so yeah, absolute fucktards who do stuff without thinking just for kicks exist. |

Comically evil? This level of bullying is a thing that actually happens in Japan. There was a case a few months ago of some girl being forced to walk around school naked. And worse, the victims are often told to just tough it out, because of Japan's obsession with "not standing out," regardless of the reason. |

| What an absolutely amazing ride. This series has now become one of my all time favourites. |
 |
| Why the author cut her hair? Didn't he see the pirate anime of the white haired girl who did it? she went from a 10 to a 4. She lost a lot of points for doing that good lord |

| It was a really great show :3 |
Kayle_x_Morgana said: Why the author cut her hair? Didn't he see the pirate anime of the white haired girl who did it? she went from a 10 to a 4. She lost a lot of points for doing that good lord He probably didn't see it back in 2012/13 when he wrote about Eris cutting her hair to leave behind for Rudeus specifically, as well to go with showing her resolve. |
| Just spiilling my thoughts here, but hopefully it's enough coherency lol: The direction with Rudeus's mentality and past life's memories was quite phenomenal imho and seeing how everyone else is moving along and how the world of MT is essentially moving along regardless of whether or not Rudeus himself is ready to move on....that was really nice. A lot of people were saying this episode was badly directed cause of all the random teasing by the latter, but I thought it was a great way to wrap up the series, personally. I'm glad the anime was able to show why Eris made that decision to leave Rudeus. She looks up to him despite him being younger than her, and she always felt safe and confident due to him, so when the notion of him dying thanks to Orsted...the notion of how small and fragile he seems to be...really occurred to her, as well as the shock of losing her blood family and being arranged to be married off as part of a political agreement, she realizes she can't be dependent on him anymore. She wants to get strong enough to protect him herself hence why she went off on her journey with Ghislaine. Surely when they meet again she'll be able to keep that promise. That dream sequence with Zenith telling Rudeus that she loves him (as part of the family) was quite touching and a great way to get the latter up off his moping and take a step forward again. He's still mentally not okay, but at least he's trying to move forward again. The scene with Ruijerd was apparently anime-original, but it's nice to see how he's faring in terms of his reputation and how people are now more comfortable around him due to the efforts of Dead End. We might not see him for a while, tbh. Overall this cour in particular was just amazing, and easily in my top 5 favs, and the story can only get better from here on out imho, especially with all the setups for future developments. Wasn't perfect by any means as the pacing isn't always the best, some context is notably omitted or changed unnecessarily, and the animation isn't always top-tier at times, but it was a great package all in all. I know the OVA in March is still a thing, but S2 can't come any sooner. |

| Great final episode! We got to see more of Rudeus's past and his parents seemed quite nice but I hated them bullies so much for embarrassing him like that. I'm not a big fan of Eris still, even if she left him to get stronger as she really did make his very depressed. That flashback to Zenith saying she loved him was quite emotional and I really hope everything works out for him. Looking forward to the next season whenever it comes out!!!!! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Another good season, now I'll left worried about the future seasons of this series. Season 1 has alot of pre-production time (3 years to be exact) and had a capable ambitious team that very clearly cares alot about this show. It also had an anime producer that was willing to negotiate with the series' production committee so that the series was done right and not a cheap rushed mess like most modern isekai anime. I'm kind of relieved they didn't announce S2 outright at the end of this episode. While I no doubt want a S2, I would vastly prefer if they get enough production time for it instead to do it right. Part 2 already lost some key staff that was involved in the first cour, the show still stayed consistent but time will be the most important factor in whether or not the following seasons maintain the standard Season 1 had. I can wait a few years for S2, I'm plenty patience and have a lifetime to wait. Can only hope the series maintains steady success and profits so the production committee of the show doesn't cheap out and rush out S2 too quickly, ehich is far too common for sequels nowadays for popular franchises. |

And while it's hard to not find him absolutely disguisting and scummy (because he was, there's no denying it), it's also hard to ignore he had slow, but gradual development over the years of his second life. He still have flaws, but he's slowly trying to fix them, and it's interesting to see it. |
| Great episode and a very good one season finale. First part is about Rudy being depressed and his recollection of the past in his life being a shut in, and being bullied back there in school. And anime orginal scene like Ruijerd helping others defeat monster and journey of Eris and Ghislaine. The second part is about Roxy in demon continent where she meets Kishirika, that helps her the whereabouts of Rudeus family. She now knows that Rudy is safe and Zenith is in labyrinth city in the Begaritt continent. And some subtle foreshadowing in Zenith POV. Then the episode ends on the three new character showed up. Then that one person know Rudeus and respects him. Overall a very good season throughout for MT season 1. Hyped for future seasons |
 |
| Another good season with amazing animation and the same flaws as the first. I still don't like Rudeus and Eris. 7/10 |

Drimson said: At the start of the series Rudy did the following:Nah, I'm not saying you're denying the existence of such people. But for some reason you are extremely stuck to Rudy of the start of the series. C1 - Sexually harass the female characters. - Fap to a child - Molested a child in her sleep and attempted to remove her panties. - Tried to sleep with said child C2 - Continued to sexually harass Eris in specific - Continued to invade her privacy and pique on what is a minor. - Had sex with said child. <--- This one just happened last episode. I'd say I'm pretty well updated and his growth on this point is 0 maybe even -2 given he went from fapping to children to having sex with them. He's still a disgusting child molester. And while it's hard to not find him absolutely disguisting and scummy (because he was, there's no denying it), it's also hard to ignore he had slow, but gradual development over the years of his second life. He still have flaws, but he's slowly trying to fix them, and it's interesting to see it. He's fixing flaws unrelated to the one I'm giving him shit for. |

| What an episode can’t even start to explain how well the direction was in the finale. the part about Zenith really was done in a great order and beautiful way. I will start reading the LN, next season probably is a year away who knows maybe less or more for anyone interested Start reading from the beginning of Vol 7. 9/10 |
| It has been a long journey, we've got a lot of amusing moments, and also some of sad moments! But after how much pain i felt from the episode 11, i was curious and affraid at the same time about this last episode, but i think it was an awesome episode as the last one, this episode was truly the point where Rudeus developed more as a character! I kinda understand how Eris felt, but at same time it was a wrong way to act, specially what did she have to cut her hair! :( , but i am really happy that Rudeos managed to take a step and move forward, even alone! Was really heartwarming to see every character that we've met in this long journey, i loved it! I am looking forward to see where is Zenith, hope she is okay! Roxy also learned where to look for Zenith, and i hope Roxy and Rudeus will meet soon! Also seems Sylphie is good and safe even after that tragedy, curious to see more about her and her new comrades! Obvious i am looking forward more in a 3rd season! I hope for it soon! Without any doubt i is a 10 out of 10! |
 |
| Here we go, Rudeus trying to overcome his past again, thats only understandable. All things will come after you even if you have already dealt with it once, and this only came to mind when he was already depressed. Glad he got back in his feet again and seems determined all on his own. Season 2, we're waiting!!! |
 |
| Very heavy and intense episode, remember where you come from and that you need to keep going even if it is very difficult. What said in the image of the end in japanese, maybe a second season coming soon D: |
