Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (Manga) add

Not Recommended

Preliminary (77/? chp)

Well, I really cant bare to read this anymore and I'm incoherently rant about it.
Mushoku Tensei is as basic as it can get when it comes to the premise of it. The more "unique" elements of Mushoku Tensei are very out there(?) because the manga apologetically displays the deplorability of the Rudeus, the main character of a typical isekai with very bland worldbuilding.
I am not one to be disgusted very easily and I can overlook almost anything as long as it has some sort of significance to the story so I will not bash the pedophilic undertones that is being told through the perspective ... of Rudeus himself. Of course I hate the fact that Rudeus himself is a degenerate anime cave dweller that unfairly received a miracle in the form of a second chance in a new world, but I think that we all wished that we could restart and live a better life. And thats why I believe this managa, despite it's sort of boring story, is so highly rated. It is a series (which has a degenerate and pretty nasty audience) that feeds off of relatability for these weirdos. Now I'm not saying that everyone who likes this manga is a weirdo, but i kinda am. Rudeus' very morally questionable ideas and actions are things that he knows aren't good, but does anyway and he still is the same degenerate that he once was. He creates a effort to improve himself as a human being which is admirable, but I get the feeling that those with similar tendencies kind of live through this fantasy of self improvement and abandoning their responsibilities of human being on earth to just start over with a clean slate. That is probably what Mushoku Tensei did best, creating a story in which the audience of anime lovers and degenerates could dream through and fantasize about.
Otherwise, this manga falls short in tons of aspects that it needs to be become actually good. The general premise this story revolves around Rudeus improving himself as a human being in a new world alongside a clean beginning is not executed very well. The habits and internal ideas of Rudeus makes it hard for me to not judge him as a human and I am not on to judge normally as I mostly do not concern myself with how a character is made or done as long as it has some sort of significance in creating a good story. This however, is not a particularly good story at all and throwing the keys to Rudeus as the storyteller leaves a bad taste in my mouth that is hard to wash away with the scenes and developments that are decent in the manga.
Don't even get me started with the fanservice either, it is something I abhor in this manga as there it is so damn unnecessary. It degrades the already 1 dimensional characters ever further and the horrific pace of this manga does not allow me to read a little faster to escape them. The manga depicts these characters so poorly in the sense that they are just good and bad people with no humanity and agency of their own to do actions outside of their alignment. Rudeus is the only character that is sort of complex in character and the other cast is just... there.
The subpar world, plot, and development don't make it any better but I'm not going to get into that. Chapters 65+ are especially horrid and an absolute CHORE to read in every sense of the word; I'm not sure why I even read up until that point either but here I am.
I like the art tho, its good.

At first glance, this manga was okay and had some objectively decent qualities that created an okay first impression. That however went down is a spiraling descent into your typical copy and paste isekai with some unique but NOT good elements. It has essentially been infected with the desire to appease to a gullible and degenerate audience through the use of an almost unbelievable dynamic of relationships between Rudeus and the rest of the one dimensional cast.
I am not blaming Rudeus' nature of being a deplorable human being as the reason to this manga being bad as many others seem to be doing, but the bad execution of a typical but solid premise that was one of the first of its kind.

This is a great anime that has great production value. Now does it have its flaws? of course but I am rating this anime purely off of my enjoyment of it and not objectively, thats why im going to rant now.

Heavenly Delusion has some great aspects that really cater to my tastes and I'm not talking about her being (you know).
The anime does a great job of creating questions to the reader that are not answered yet as of the end of the first season and this is something that I personally enjoy and some might not. This aspect within the anime keeps on building ... but as I have seen in other reviews, some are not particularly fond of this quality which I can understand.
My great appreciation and enjoyment from this anime though comes from the fact that does a great job of logically showcasing the human nature within a utopian society as well as a dystopian world. The side stories and the events the two main characters go through are very unique and different but it ties very well into the plot of the story. The anime does a great job of incorporating each character's significance and impact onto the story, some more than others. Each character is very memorable and have distinct aspects about them (maybe not personality wise, but nevertheless.)
The characters within heavenly delusion are not awkward and each have their own personality that fit very will into the role in which they are presented in. Although this is sort of the bare minimum, I have seen far too much anime with robot like characters that are copy and pasted from other anime.
Despite me complaining about that, Heavenly Delusion is not an exception to this but I feel as if it is justified in the certain circumstances in which the characters are presented in so I'm not too bothered by it. The characters are realistic in some ways but the anime still maintains it's playful and joking tone when needed but it can flip the switch very well when a scenario calls for it.
The mood changes is something that I quite enjoy aswell as it keeps the anime from being in constant suspense, making me grow tired of it. Although each anime does that one hot springs scene, Heavenly Delusion does a good job of atleast creating SOME significance in it. Does the fan service bother me a little? sure, I absolutely abhor fanservice as a gimmick in order to get fans, but I didn't really mind it here.
There are some themes that turn other watchers off but I am not particularly bothered by them. I can see the significance it has for developing the characters (in whatever way the author intends) and although some may not like the way in which scenarios played out, I just don't care. Particularly the SA scene, I can see what the author intended to do with that specific event and there could have been different ways to develop the character affected by it. Do I really care? Not too much for it.

Of course there are elements that are objectively not so good about this anime, like the sort of surface level themes that I could spot from a mile away when the anime was entering that particular section. It's not too bad because those themes sort of stack on one another to create a pretty good story that had genuine effort put into it. Although the effort sort of feels like an author mashing together concepts and genres he really enjoys writing and working based off of that.
This wasn't really an anime that I found too deep and meaningful to me personally, but the fun atmosphere it creates at times and the good plot has made me really enjoy this anime. The production value is top notch too.
Now if I had to rate this anime objectively and not off of my enjoyment? It would probably be a 7 with the characters, plot, and everything; but the fact that it is very fun for me and the fact that it was very fun for me and that it has some elements that I personally enjoy and really appreciate, It's a 9.
