Uff, we started this season strong, this episode seems to be a kind of prologue for what the following chapters or the plot in general will deal with, but anyway, having seen Sylphie right away I'm satisfied. See you next week c:

It's a good episode, (I guess).

I didn't expect the episode to focus entirely on Sylphy, but hey, at least we now have a little more information about her whereabouts, so I don't think it's bad either.

We have to see what awaits us next week xd

I don't what it is, but I've never liked the color density or saturation for Mushoku Tensei and this special is no different. Especially jarring, having not watched this show in a while. Nice now what she has been up to ever since though...

well seems like the woman at the university in the last scene of season 1 part 2 really was sylphie afterall. we got no explanation for her hairs turning grey but i think it's safe to say she went through the kaneki ken phenomenon as well, extreme stress causing her hairs to become grey. though she looks more womanly with grey hairs than in green, her feminine charm has increased.

this close relationship with the kingdom could be useful somewhere in the future i'm sure of it. when rudy and slyphie meet and stuff, all this relationships can come handy.

i'm not sure how old sylphie is when she set out on her journey with the princess. it would have been nice to know for some context so we can compare where rudy was at that time etc.

pretty great episode overall. the princess seems like a nice person but that bed scene got me stressed af, so glad it was just a joke, my heart wouldn't have been able to take it, neither my mental health.

8/10 overall. next week couldn't come faster. i really hope this is another 23 episodes.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

I was a bit worried when I saw “Episode 0” as the title cuz usually that means a recap or mostly filler but glad it wasn’t the case this time. Mushoku Tensei is just too good, as an og web novel reader back in 2012, I can proudly say the anime has indeed lived up to the hype and original source!

What a nice surprise gift to start the season. I did not expect to get a quick check-in to see what happened with Sylphie after the separation event. Excellent and heartwarming story, as ever. Friendship was her theme and struggle in the past, so I'm happy to see that she was able to make some good, caring friends.

If you observe as (non-fan) viewer, you'd find some faults with this Ep 0.
The thing is Ep 0 was supposed to connect the previous season with a diverse storyline, which it did well. But, it didn't provide with much info to process with, you see a bunch of unknown charecters get introduced, & the main charecter get overlaped by the other charecter's presence. This is a very flaw in film direction If you know.
*(I'm a Fan watcher btw,)* & I liked the episode!

What do you even mean?

was really hoping for it to start, but we got an OVAish (whatev its called)

i also didnt like the animations, some of the talking scenes were pretty off the mark. hopefully itll improve since its a pet peeve

and also hopefully they fast forward stuff as the school arc is boring IMHO, IIRC nothing interesting happens

anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396

I didn’t think I could hate Onimai any more than I already did but somehow I despise it even more now. All I can say is thank you Onimai for taking away from this great series. Seriously, it’s obvious that they downgraded the animation, such as many times where they show the eyes turning and the use of cgi during the singing scene. I’m not sure if this is due to a more limited budget or less capable staff, but something isn’t right here. Mushoku Tensei S1 looked amazing and that was one of the things that made it special. Assuming S2 will be like the rest of this episode, Studio Bind has let me down…

Studio Bind didn't produce this episode. It was outsourced

Thank god, hopefully episode 1 will be on par with the previous seasons

Mite of been a little of a stretch but yah pretty much lmao 😭😭😭

was she just playing around, cuz she's the one who renamed Sylphie into Fitz(a guy), is she into her Butler or Sylphie, really wish she doesn't take this jesting too far lmao😂

I'll note I'm currently caught up with the English translation of the light novel and I won't spoil anything. but there was a change at the end of the episode that seemed mildly odd to me. I don't think it was a major issue leaving it out but I do feel it helped show Ariel's position in the kingdom and the threat they are facing.

when Ariel, Luke, and Fitz left asura they were leaving in a normal wagon and had here leaving through the main gates to the north which showed her interactions with the gates guards and people around that showed how much the people are fond of her. this was briefly discussed with Luke's father but I think that would have been good to show that too.

the second part they left out was this wagon getting attacked by assassins after leaving the country showing that the stakes are higher than fleeing after one assassination attempt. this scene also showed a cool magic spell or item that the nobles and royals of asura that made all of Ariel and her attendants look like her to confuse that assasins, this could also show off more of Fitz's power since I think the first assassination attempt wasn't enough and also show of how competent Luke is too.

that's what the episode I think missed that it should have covered, it didn't hurt things that much removing it but I think it would have made it a better episode too if they kept that all, especially since it was a special they could have gone a little long.

What I liked:
Cute interactions
Sylphy being a badass
Perverted talk

What I didn't like:
CGI crowds
Not that impressive fall of Sylphy from the sky (the blow on the boar was cool tho)
Lots of still frames and low quality animation, especially on the talking scenes
Ariel being too nice. On the LN she actually assaults Shylphy during the night, here she just says it's a joke. Cowards!

That was the Web Novel, in the LN they cut out alot of Ariels Sadist tendencies(which is lame), she says it's a joke in the LN in a pretty similar way.

when was all this in the WN?

Good "first" episode, I missed this show! Glad its back now and great to see Sylphie again, why is her hair silver though?

Just having stuff like this sets it apart from 99% of other anime, it has real depth and an actually interesting world.

Is my memory deceiving me or did we see this party shortly at the end of S1?

The only familiar face we see in this episode is Sylphie, now teleported to another kingdom and going by the name of Fitz. She's the focus, and someone we haven't seen in a minute. But man, just being in this world again gets me so excited for season 2.

yes, in the light novel also is a joke, but in the novel, Fitz is a mystery, they don't tell you right away that it's Sylphie, that seemed super wrong to me.

the Author probably thought it would be an interesting angle to play, but it was a bit too obvious to pull off especially considering when they went about it in the LN it gives pictures, so I can see why that idea was bailed.

So this episode is numbered as episode 0. But it's still part of Season 2 and technically the first episode. Based on this, MAL created a completely separate entry for episode 0 and separated it from Season 2. Doesn't that mean Season 2 only has 23 episodes instead of 24? This shit's confusing AF.

Anyways, after Lilia and Aisha got transported underwater, I was wondering if anyone was transported to the sky. Turns out Sylphie was one of them. This also makes me wonder if anyone was transported underground... could it be Zenith?

I'll be honest. This episode was a bit boring. While I loved seeing Sylphie again (with her white hair and sunglasses no less, pretty cool if you ask me) I simply don't care about Ariel or the Asura kingdom. I wanna see what Rudeus is up to. And judging by the title it seems like the next episode will be about him.

Let's see where the series goes next.

Alright episode. Tells us what's up with Sylphie, from around the time the teleportation incident occurred until the time she enters the academy. There's also a political battle going on but they did not reveal much about that or the parties involved in the conflict.
