Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu - Eris no Goblin Toubatsu

During their stay in the capital of Milishion, the adventurers of Dead End decide to split up for a day to run their errands. While Rudeus Greyrat has his plans derailed by a troublesome scene, the party's swordswoman, Eris Boreas Greyrat, finds herself with nothing to do. Deciding to embark on an adventure to slay goblins, Eris crosses paths with a cocky but talented mage named Cliff Grimoire. Though Eris refuses his company, Cliff stubbornly ignores her wishes and dares her to explore the perilous forest surrounding the city. Accepting his challenge, Eris ventures into the forest with the mage, where the two encounter something far more repulsive than mere goblins.

Mushoku Tensei for the most part stands on well paced storytelling matched by great animation and characters to boot. This special is simply a side story giving context to the actions of Eris in the background of an episode, primarily to introduce a few characters.

On its own it is a pretty solid idea and shortly places said characters in the anime’s universe prior to their relevancy. The only problem with this is that it seems that these characters basically do nothing other than being named and the only one with ample screen time comes off as irritating.

The special, although not horrible or unenjoyable is ... noticeably lesser in quality in comparison to the main anime. Usually characters aren’t so abruptly shown or forced on screen but it feels that way in this. The plots is a background to events from another perspective so it’s pretty bland and the addition of characters to the universe doesn’t feel natural. In addition, the animation is also a significant downgrade as it contains far more stills and generally looks quite choppy in contrast to the usual beautiful animation.

For Mushoku Tensei the special is sub-par but overall it’s alright and mildly entertaining so if you enjoy the show give it a watch but don’t expect it to be nearly the same level of quality one would expect.

Mixed Feelings

If you've ever wondered what Mushoku Tensei would look like as a set of episodic short stories with clichéd plots, look here. A blu-ray extra episode, there's not any reason to go out of your way to watch this one, even as a fan of Mushoku Tensei. The main plot is a generic RPG quest. The main extra character is (at least in this episode) a conceited brat who gets humbled by the end in a pretty perfunctory manner. The little bit of world building, while nice, doesn't add anything to the main story. There are no revelation about or development of an existing character. ... It's a complimentary episode which fails to enhance the main course.

The most enjoyable part of the episode is seeing Eris & Ruijerd again, as they are just generally enjoyable, well-written characters. This episode does introduce characters & ideas of potential importance later, but the execution is tepid. Considering this compliments the pair of episodes where Rudeus & Paul reunite, Mushoku Tensei can and has done far better.

Not Recommended

this special is so much of a spit in the face of an original story as it gets. The art style is crude, lines are so rough and thic that you cant take your eyes out of it, animation is a slideshow, not smooth but like 15 fps in a videogame slow, it hurts when you watch. Story is cheap, new characters are lazy and predictable. also story overal is generic and has nothing to offer. i waited for so long for this episode and my expectations were broken and my day is ruined. i hope second season wont be as disapointing as "this"...
