| I really genuine set up some expectation maybe the bar is too high. Just quick warning before someone feel betrayed especially for anime only fanboy, read the damn LN is just too fucking good compared to this. The big red flag for me was how they messed up introduction for fitz, really and now they skipped Icefall Treant fight. Many a lot of details is missing, of course will be going to spoiler territory. And now let's see how they adapt next 2 episode, this will determine how good the season is for reference. |

| I think a large part of what annoys me about much of the content, focus, and tone in these early episodes of the season (excluding the episode zero Sylphie side story) is that it's carrying over from an event at the end of season one which is entirely based on a stupid and annoying misunderstanding stemming from miscommunication of the sort which is something I'm tired of seeing as a plot device from anime/media in general. |

| sigh* Tsunderes, am I right? ☕ And just like that, Rudeus found himself another Eris. Wonder what Sara mumbled at the end tho... "arigatou"? "aishiteru"? On another note, I actually liked that jerk party leader lol. He saw right through Rudeus and even voiced some of my own thoughts while confronting him. Like come on, you can't be this depressed because of a girl smh. So Mimir died, huh? Honestly, I can't even remember his face but okay. |
dabdabgoose said: giovgiac said: I think this volume alone has been rushed compared to others, not soo much the anime as a whole which I felt has been on a good pace, you can't adapt a Novel to an anime 1 to 1 it's not possible or it would take 4 to 5 seasons to get to where we are now and be bogged down with inner monologue which would be boring, but they usually do 4 episodes per volume and this is on pace for only 3 which has meant many scenes that could have added more meaning to for the anime only viewer are skipped.Guess there's a lot of new LN readers between Season 1 and Season 2. I mean, you guys are complaining about the pacing now, seriously? Season 1 of Mushoku Tensei didn't even say what was the distance between Demon and Central Continents or show a decent map to give people an idea. TLDR, the anime was always rushed, I don't know what the hell you were expecting... Overall was a great episode to me. I'm not noticing any issues with the animation, action scenes were great as always and the stuff they cut is not really important. (Why is his nickname Quagmire? Boohoo... people watching the anime don't even know what Quagmire is, because Rudeus never says spell names! Stop making such a fuss over minor stuff). They literally cut the opening and ending sequences to put more content! I really don't see how they are "cutting corners" or how this is just a "regular trash Isekai". Corners are definitely cut and I think it's a bit silly to deny that, the animation quality last season was insane, this has been a noticeable drop but I'm hoping it's just the early parts because I know later parts of the season were actually made first. Anyone calling this trash Isekai doesn't know what they are talking about or is trolling, it's pretty clear this is another level entirely to 99.9% of Isekai. More or less. If they were to rush any volume, then this is definitely the one they should rush. I can't fully agree that Season 1 had a good pace. They completely cut out Theresa, which is going to be an important character in the future, unlike any of the characters in Vol. 7. People are acting as if Season 1 was perfect, and it was far from it. We're still getting a very premium treatment for the story, especially for an isekai, which are all mostly shit. What I see is a lot of people complaining about the production of the anime or saying that they are doing a subpar job, as if they suddenly decided to lower the budget or lost the love for the show. I don't see any indication that any of that is true. It's pointless to cry about director and part of the staff leaving, since they probably left because they wanted to and the production can't exactly force them to work on the show. |
| Animation was definitely off the rails in this episode considering the quality the show maintained in s1 and even eris OVA... so it looks like Sara isn't going to join Rudeus harem but he just saw Eris in her. |

The Quality of season 1 is undoubtedly higher atleast at this stage, outside of a few episodes in the 2nd cour it was pretty much all at a top tier level, what I see this season is a bit below the worst of last season but given the volume is being rushed compared to the episode count considering we are getting 2 more episodes this season I suspect it will correct itself soon. I do think that Volume 7 would have been best served as a Movie though since it involves alot of separate characters from the rest of the story, they could have just sliced it up into episodes like what demon Slayer did with the train arc after for the Anime onlys. |
| Pretty decent episode. Just got caught up binged all episodes in a day now the weekly wait. Guess I'll read the LN |

But the rewrite of Paul giving him the letter was exactly to cut out Theresa. They just completely removed that entire part of the story so they could rush it. They also removed stuff in the Dragon King Kingdom that introduces/foreshadows Death God and Nanahoshi. I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it, I'm totally fine with it, I'm just saying that it is not new that they are rushing and cutting stuff, so joke is on whoever had expectations that they wouldn't. I mean, you say Theresa isn't important, but she's 1000x more important than Sara, which is basically a filler character that never shows up again. Without Theresa, we can't really have the arc she's a key character on, so they'll have to forcefully introduce her at some point (they kinda already did in the OVA, but not officially). On the other hand, we could've skipped the entirety of Vol. 7 without issues. Yet, people are saying that we should've had an episode with Sara PoV or that they shouldn't have skipped a random ass fight with some Treant that nobody cares about. I honestly don't see how the cuts they are doing now are any different from the cuts they did in Season 1. In fact, I argue what they cut in Season 1 was even worse. It's fine to criticize the anime adaptation, hell there's plenty of stuff that I'd like to see done better, but to pretend that Season 1 was great and that Season 2 alone is shit? It's literally the same formula... |
giovgiac said: Never said season 2 is shit, just said at current it's worse in terms of pacing and animation which you can't deny, Theresa is still in the Anime as shown with the OVA so she is in the story, all that will change is how the introduction goes, the interaction in the restaurant your talking about with the Death God and hint to Nanohoshi is even less relevent because it has no story implications, Rudeus and the death god don't remember it to recall where they first met, it was literally a bonus chapter add in that is all.dabdabgoose said: While I agree cutting Theresa isn't the best she isn't exactly important, more just a key side character in one Arc, because of the rewrite regarding how Paul gave him the letter to get to the Central continent rather than Ruijerd I don't think the scene your talking about would have made any sense, it's possible we do get a Anime only introduction for her in later seasons or a flashback when they may have met outside what we saw in season 1.

| Sheeesh Rudeus is hella ripped lmao, and he's even naming his muscles xD He looks to be doing more well now, which is nice. Though I say that, we have a bully bullying Rudeus later bruh. It's a little surprise that Sara lived, though a pleasant one. I wonder what she whispered at the end, could be the usual "I like/love you" or smth like that lmao. It's a bit funny how the panties keep appearing every now and then lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Damn Rudeus should have fucked that blonde gal, she owes him that much and more ffs. I was happy to see him told off by that other lad.. a bro punch is what he needs daily. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| finally he moved on. i actually liked the pacing, because the least filler episodes the best. i liked ep 0 more than the two that followed. i hope we get a plot soon. |
| Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts. Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you? Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!! Watashitachi wa ningen da!!! |
| An even better episode than the first I think. It seems that Sara fell in love with Rudeus, though of course he's unaware.. |
 |
| Slow pace but decent world building |
