As a tbate fan, I'm very excited to see the trailer but also very apprehensive about the quality. It's been known that Tbate's largest fanbase has never been in Asia, and as such, I am worried about the reception of the series. Not to mention the studio has not been known to do amazing things.

Let's just tell our thoughts about the announcement. Also, join the tbate discord!

I saw the animation studio and what they produced and already you can predict the flop, I find it incredible that none of their works on mal reach an average score of 7 which does not bode well for anything

I am definitely looking forward to it but as you said, studio A-cat aren't considered a very good studio, and I can't think of any even remotely good anime they've produced.

I still have my hopes up though since tbate is an amazing series after all.

Tbate is one of my all time favorites. I really hope that they don't mess this up.

Looking forward to it :)

Studio A cat is one of the worst anime studio of all time. I have absolutely no hope for this anime adaptation.

Best to keep expectations as low as possible. It being mediocre would be the best to hope for.

sorry for all the fans ( me included ) but it will suck. no need to even cope when it's FUCKING A-CAT PRODUCING THIS

this is so fucking disappointing, I can already see the mediocre 7.01 score ffs. sakamoto fans should be grateful. wanted to kms when I saw the studio and staff news. what will be funny is the disappointment that fans, who don't know much about studio stuff, will feel when they will watch this shit

FUCK THE PRODUCTION COMMITTEE!

The trailer looks like they gonna give it standard seasonal anime type of treatment, as for studio I have a feeling we gonna have a bit better situation than berserk 2016 had but still not the dedicated studio bind for mushoku season 1 deal. Source material is decent but it could go bad, it's a 50/50 coin toss in my eyes...

The director's most popular work is School Days....and the scriptwriter's is Umaru chan.......
Its gonna suck and be one of those webtoon adaptations forgotten into oblivion. The animation is gonna be no better than a generic trashy isekai, they even made a long ass new title for it meaning theyre trying to sell it as a generic isekai.

Breaks my heart but it is what it is. It deserved mushoku tensei level treatment, and if it did it wouldve come out better cus i think its a much better story than MT, but it will never make even a dent on the community.

As the start is similar to MT, TBATE already needed madhouse level production quality to get hit. I was expecting people already calling it generic Isekai or MT clone after first season, but seeing fucking A-cat adapting and motonaga directing ruined my day completely. I would've preferred it to be adapted after 5 years rather then getting this treatment.
Last but not the least " The strongest king, what will he do in his second life?", this fucking japanese name clearly suggests they're gonna market it as a generic Isekai which is something a big IP like TBATE never deserved.

Tbate is not really popular in asia so i think it as been difficult to find a japanese studio that would accept to do an anime adaptation about something not popular in japan.

@HaiseDemon Vinland Saga, Pluto also aren't really popular in Japan. Since, COVID-19 Netflix is investing heavily into anime. Blue ray, DVD sales are heaving low impacts on anime success day by day.
So, Many stories which aren't popular in Japan are getting more and more adaptations as the day passes by.

@Ruhan Yeah you're right, but netflix can choose the studio they want for an anime adaptation. I don't think that's the case for crunchyroll.

RIP TBATE ANIME why don't big production studios pick up manhwas? Is there some kind of reason except for Japan and Korea hating each other? A-1 Adapation of Solo Leveing was kind of success though

@Thebossers I believe that part of the blame lies with the publisher of the original, it is worth remembering that they changed the illustrator because of money.

@HaiseDemon It wasn't Crunchyroll that bought the rights, it was Slow Curve, a production company that made few animes, most of them in 3D, it's Tapas' fault for selling the rights to anyone.

I know a lot of people will say it's the Japanese's fault, But the culprit is the publisher that had the rights to the original, which sold it to Slow Curve, a producer that must have paid very little, since they don't seem to have a lot of money like Aniplex, TOHO Or others.

@Hyperion248 I think I disagree, since MT would still be quite different from most isekai even with average animation, TBATE doesn't have many unique things, especially in the first 4 volumes of the novel.

Slow Curve isn't the main producer, they are simply a planning company that helps with anime productions.
The main producer is still Crunchyroll

@1000-MAT Let's face it, the production is what transported Mushoku tensei, if we want to look at the details even MT has nothing special compared to other generic isekai. TBATE may not have many unique things but what it does it does very well and above all it manages to entertain, which will not happen if a mediocre studio and a poor director massacre this adaptation

@Leon888 Even with how great the production was for season 1, the actual material I feel is better with the books. It does a lot more beyond a generic isekai character-wise, and actually fleshes out a lot of things well in detail.

As far as this anime goes, I've heard some similarities with this in the starting portion only but both are fundamentally different? I've never read this series but hope the anime turns out to be alright (although the studio choice from first glance isn't by any means an inspiring one). Could very easily see this being another Tower of God S2 situation given the unknown studio for this season that took the helm, but hope that isn't the case.

@animejas Well, usually the source material is always considered better (especially in season 2 where they massacred some scenes), but the point is that anime is a more watched medium so if you can capture the audience with that you will have many more people knowing the work in question. As for the similarity between MT and TBATe, yes it is only the beginning that is very similar, but then TBATE takes a path of its own definitely better than that of MT.
Ps: I still don't understand how people can appreciate MT

After hearing about the adaptation - I decided to read the manhwa. I'm on volume 5 now and I'm glad that the anime is getting an adaptation from such a studio. It doesn't deserve much more than that. As much as I dislike Mushoku Tensei, the story is much better done there, and considering all the love and hype of the source, it's not surprising to see a high level of adaptation (Bind studio was specially created for this series by White Fox).
Anyway, I'll watch the anime out of curiosity, gaijin adaptations always intrigue me.

Hmm? Vol 5 is around where the plot really gets interesting. Especially when his decision begin to have consequences. Granted, I didn't particularly like the webtoon neither, and (due to the format itself) omits a looooot of details.


Back to the topic, we are so cooked.
I hoped for the trinity to be united (Solo leveling, Omniscient reader and TBATE) but oh well, with the most generic art style you could pick, it will fade into obscurity after s1

At least LOTM adaptation looks like a 2025 anime of the year

I actually somewhat agree to this. MT had 2 big events very early. Teleportation incident and turning point 1.

TBATE comes online around the elderwood guardian (which is quite late, aroun v2 for ln or s3 for webtoon) and even more around the end of school arc.


But, let's be honest, the art style of MT is what made people hooked the first few episodes when there were few events. Rudeus' spell invocation for the exam with Roxy was peak.

Aside from the studio A-CAT thing I’m more interested in who Makoto Furukawa is voicing, I’m nearly 100% sure it was him at the end of the trailer. I’m guessing it’s Arthur’s father that he’s voicing as him voicing Arthur himself would be uh interesting to say the least. Still Makoto Furukawa is a great voice actor so having him along is a good thing.
