| I dont know if i am hallucinating but the ep 0 seemed uglier than any episode of the season 1, i really hope thats not the case for the res of the season. |
| Great episode except the global release was censored. Looks like I'll be watching this season fan subbed or raw. |
| 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… |
| Damn dude great episode. If it wasn't a single episode I'd probably score it higher. 8/10 for me I wonder why Slyphie's hair colour changed lol. Maybe an effect of the mana in the air idk So I guess they go overseas and Slyphie starts studying at that magic school?? Then Rudeus will eventually go there? How cool. I'm keen for this season! |

| Pretty nice this episode focused on Sylphie |

This gives me hope |
| Damn they really skipped a lot of important things in this, I really hope that doesn't carry onto rest of season 2. |

| OMG YES!! We finally find out what happened to Sylphie! I had so many questions when we last saw her and she had white hair all of a sudden :O Unfortunately we didn't really get an explanation as to why her hair suddenly turned white (maybe due to stress? Idk), but at least we got to see her with green hair one last time before season 2 kicks off properly with the next episode! That aside tho, I'm really conflicted how to feel about Ariel. I mean you don't just dump all those tragic informations on a little girl, then immediately force her to give up her identity. At first I didn't mind it too much, because Ariel made it sound like she was triying to protect Sylphie from being punished for trespassing and she did promised her to help find her friends and family. But then it turns out the whole punishment thing was actually meant as a threat in order to make Sylphie to serve Ariel and even worse Ariel knew that she wouldn't be able to uphold her promise... so really she was just using Sylphie. I have a hard time believing that Sylphie stayed by Ariel's side in the end out of her own free will. Feels more like the result of Stockholm Syndrome to me... I just hope Rudeus and Sylphie reunite soon :( |

| Mushoku Tensei is back, and it was nice seeing a side story of Sylphie to get some more context on her character after the first turning point in Season 1. It was definitely intriguing seeing her as Princess Ariel's bodyguard, and Sylphie's entire lifestyle changed, in the way she acted, and her name as well, being the Silent Fitz. There were some questionable moments in there with Ariel and Sylphie's dynamic, but seeing as this isekai is known for some weird things, not really surprised. Visually, it still looked very decent, though it lacked a bit of the polish that Season 1 had, so hopefully as we get back to the main story in the next episode, it'll get more exciting and beautiful. Definitely excited for what's to come. |
dabdabgoose said: Synx7 said: 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. I see! I'm glad I read the WN then, I enjoy more gray characters, they feel more human. |
| I know it was only to show what happened to sylphy but the episode wasn't that good. The animation is compared to the previous season worse and the storytelling felt really off. It felt somehow "disconnected" and "cramped". Additionally a fucking mob shows out of nowhere to assault the princess and sylphy happens to land exactly on the right moment in the right place. I can accept that she happens to fall exactly perfect because this is still an anime and somehow a story needs to be told. Nonetheless it felt crude. Yes, maybe the monster was put there by somebody to do the princess harm but the episode doesn't address that at all. Overall the episode is okay. I really hope this isn't a bad omen for s2 like RebelPanda said in his review. Hopefully the money they saved for this episode was channeled into the second season. |

| Let's just wait for a few hours and then we'll have our answer. I choose to believe in studio bind. |

| good to see sylphy again, this episode was just ehh fine, kinda boring. just a prologue so it's okay, i'm sure the rest of the season will be better. already got almost got some yuri action in the prologue lmao. sylphy's glasses were cold af with her drip tho. |

| Aside from the animation looking a bit weird and things getting cut out. I thought this episode was decent. |
| It feels good to be back in the world of Mushoku Tensei, Season 2 is here baby! Well, almost lol, this is episode 0 and after finishing the episode I get why it’s called that. It was nice getting to see where Sylphie ended up at after all that crazy shit went down in Season 1, I was confused as to why her hair turned white but I did get explanations on that from Crunchyroll comments and it was close to what I was thinking, but I won’t say what the reasons were exactly in case they’re spoilers lol. And she also has the cool shades now which I’m a fan of design wise, but they also kinda stand out in a fantasy setting imo, still cool tho. But it was a nice prologue episode, I wasn’t really the biggest fan of it since I didn’t find the Ariel stuff all that interesting but I did enjoy it, it definitely maintained the quality we’re used to from the first season and that’s great to see. And lastly, I didn’t notice at first but they opened this episode with a discussion about nipples, never change Mushoku Tensei lol, now we wait for the actual season to start, i have no doubt it’ll be a good time. |

ShiinaMashiroSan said: It could be after the attack and I'm pretty sure they walked the way from there, considering it's snowing they would be close to Sharia(though it's missing some retainers).They took a huge gamble on this one, its was not in the LN (some scenes are but most of it is not in it). Dialogues are suffering from it. Animation is not as good as it is supposed to be (wtf was that fall in the fountain luke ? at 2:55. At 15:10 wtf is he doing with is hand ????). Moreover, why are they quitting Asura kingdom by foot? didnt they leave with horses and got attacked by assassins ? |
| Great episode! I get to see a glimpse of Sylphie's hardships in a foreign land and I also get to see the princess in action. Her own brother is quite an evil man trying to kill her, I guess I want to see their conclusion to the end. I'm looking forward to that normal-paced-no-skipped-scenes adapted. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I forgot how this even ties to the end of season 1. Kind of annoyed that I have to rewatch something to figure out. |

| ahh how refreshing a good isekai story and why do all the endings sound so amazing!!! |
