Pleasantly surprised! Didn't think I would like this show this much, that was a pretty good start!
And it's always nice to hear Sugita's voice lol

Just finished watching this episode and all I can say is great adaption. They did not rush the story and the animation is pretty good. I hope that they will not destroy one of my favourites LN.

Visually stunning, the world and magic seems great... but I don't know if I can enjoy a show with such a perverted & sexist mc :/
Oh well, let's see how the next episodes will go.

Absolutely worth it, you can search start reading the WN and LN from the beginning. WN and LN doesn't have many difference in and both of them follows the same plot.

About 2 or 3 years ago, I gave a not so silent prayer that there would be a good adaption of Mushoku Tensei.

This episode has answered my prayer.

And I love it.

So it's been announced for 2 split-cours.

Rudy is such a likable MC. He's not too perverted and a genius too. I can''t wait to see where this new isekai (brought to us by truck-kun) will go from here!!

First episode and yet I’m already hooked. Watch it in MuseAsia’s YouTube channel, hoping it will help the studio and animators. Hoping this will be on Netflix soon.

That specific scene where he’s reading at night, then his “parents” just. Hahahahahaha! 😖😂

I liked the start. Some things were done right, unlike countless others ... Death is not so sudden, he reincarnated as a newborn, the fact that he couldn't understand the language is great (it makes no sense for a child's brain to understand language even if they spoke Japanese) ... the art is good, and the feel is very adventure like. Sure, being a pervert makes zero sense for a baby, even with all his memories intact, and so is the maturity, but I will give it a chance I guess.

Subjectivity is a joke on MAL. If you implicitly bring in subjectivity in your counter argument, you've already lost the debate. Also this website is a fankid infestation , have pity on those kids by ignoring there quotes as they have absolutely no clue what exactly is going on.

To put it simply, here's what I liked and what I disliked:

I like the visuals. The European fantasy is done quite well so far. I like the animation. I like the protagonist's character design. The opening scene was pretty good, mysterious, and captivating.

What I dislike: I find the flying ferrets weird instead of magical and I really dislike that the female characters are just wearing modified versions of Japanese schoolgirl/maid outfit. I find the narration annoying. I find the ecchi dull. I really find it lame that I have to be reminded that this character is a "virgin" who reads light novels. I'd rather this fact be revealed later and not be overemphasized as it contributes nothing to the story so far.

Overall, it was okay. I hope the 2nd episode cuts the narration and ecchi.

He was masturbating to child porn on his parent's funeral day instead of being in attendance to pay respect, the same parents that paid for his living expenses for 34 fucking years.

I get it's the originator of many of the Isekai tropes, but is that a good thing? Aren't these the same tropes that made Isekai repetitive in the first place?

Maybe all that power fantasy SAO knockoffs have left a bad taste in my mouth, but this show seems kinda meh. I'll give it some credit though, it's leagues better than Isekai Cheat Magician or Conception.

It happens at the start of the series, it's the reason his younger brother beat the shit out of him and threw him out which is how he became homeless. And he never really admit that he was in the wrong believe it or not. He was just angry that his brother smashed his computer, instead of reflecting on the fact that he is a huge piece of shit for having 0 respect for the parents that fed him for 34 years.

I don't really watch Isekai as it's kind of a weak starting point if you ask me.

That being said, I did enjoy this first episode of this new show. Seeing Rudeus as a little perv baby was funny. He is right - his mom is a total looker haha. While the mom, dad, and maid are all pretty basic in design I appreciate how Roxy looks. The blue compliments her well. Onto the next one!

Pretty solid start. Great directed, above average production, excellent pacing, MC's Seiyuu give a lot of charisma and good comedic relief. I probably don't have anything to complain, but I'm still uncertain about the actual story. I know the main appeal of the anime is to take proper time to explore things and make every moment count, but it's precisely the fact we only had worbuilding and character development that I'm still not sold in the story. It can be a masterpiece or it can be a complete disappointment, but it's certainly taking right steps at the start.

You either haven't read all the novels or you are ignoring the fact that he did reflect on it. Seriously, every time I find you you are insulting the main character labeling all his bad traits, and ignoring all the other aspects of his character and his development. You said he groomed and molested children, which isn't true. You insult people for liking the series. You even said the author is supporting pedophilia. It is getting really annoying.

I quicky looked it up in my copy and it actually adapts exactly 1/4 of the 1st LN. So we can expect 4 episodes for each book (that would fit 6 volumes = 24 episodes).
Mb mb, I was talking about episodes 1 and 2 together. 1/4 is definitely more accurate for 1 ep. And if that timeline is accurate, mid season is probably going to generate a lot of interest

A large amount of narration doesn't make me feel bored. With a steady rhythm and abundant expression description, it is a textbook example of the first episode production, not only because of great art but also because of the character-forming which is natural and has no plot routines. What a great anime!

A middle-aged man reincarnated as a perv child. lol. Rudy's parents are funny. Rudy's sensei is a tsundere. The problem of the story was not yet introduced, I still don't know where it is going. It's the first episode afterall. Looking forward to Rudy's develooment as a mage and a swordsman.

Animation is really great!!!

Damn, I knew the animation was going to be great when I heard rumors of how production is going well for this show but color me surprised!

Sugita-san playing another perverted male character was always going to be good and that, it certainly is xD. Final few moments showing his determination to retry life was quite touching and the moments leading up to it rather hilarious and eventful.

I couldn't help but see the parents as .. y'know but that dinner definitely changed my impression for the better, lol. Looks like the maid has to play the intermediate role for the two and has figured something out about the kiddo, she's going to be entertaining to watch.

My heart is fluttering with joy every second I watched this episode.
2015 during my studium I read the 24 Volumes of the webnovel of Mushoku Tensei. Finally it is here ! The content and scences in this episode is slightly different than in the novel but it is well made and nice paced.
Like you guys already said - amazing visuals and Gintoki as the inner voice of Rudi ? It is epic !

I will continue watching it in 1080p ! Luv you all !


It begins !

This is better than the 8th son thing already, and I love it. It was a bit weird seeing a child being pervy like that, but it's still got an interesting story, good characters, cannot wait for more. Sunday looking strong.


This wasn't that hard. Anime really butchered source material.
Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.113/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.205/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.119/? - weekly) | Machi and Oboro (Ch.22/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.86/? - biweekly)
- Monochrome Days (Ch.15/? - biweekly)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)

I honestly don't know if i wanted to continue this anime, it was funny, yes, but ugh! another isekaid 30+ year old man who wishes he didn't die a virgin, pervert, panty whatever, 100 year old loli...how original..... i really wanted to continue watching since people said that this is the best isekai EVER? lmao press x to doubt...tell me guys what makes this the best isekai, maybe i'll consider continuing this


I'm watching Kenja no Mago right now, after some people called the resemblance with MT.

and... LOL

It is weird how the good reference is coming after the bad references.

Well, MT become outdated, but the story is quite good. The fact is that haters gonna hate, and even so i believe that the reception of this anime adaptation will keep going very well.


I would advice that too picky MAL users should wait for the end of the series to binge some episodes. That would be a easier way to get a conclusion about the series.

For picky salty users, i think follow weekly releases of anime they are not in love is torturing.




Definitely, I think LN/WN readers can agree that on vol4-5 we got the first more boresome stuff, vol5 then picks it up though (vol4 was tough at parts).
So for some, binge-watching, would be the best.

For me, this is warrants enough to follow weekly, something I rarely, ever do.

Ah, Mushoku Tensei.
After slime reincarnation, here i got a jobless reincarnation. The godfather of the isekai thing? Well, i can't say much about it, then, okay, i can take that. But, in my honest opinion, its sure generic, pervert, and Sugita. Thats all i want to say.

The art style itself looked kinda, classic, with its medieval antical period depiction. I even remembered some of the game art designs and such with those kind of art, and animations. While its suited well with the background story, but somehow left some bad taste in my mouth with how much genericness its appeared here and there. Idk. Rudy said that he was in the europe kind of world with its fantasy trope as their main themed. That's the critical point. Then, ofc Rudy just get blessed with a learning acceleration cause he held the adult brains, and he was the mc.

The plot itself seemed pretty standard, and very straight-forward to depicted how Rudy adapted well into that another world of magic. The ost, especially the ed, felt dull at these episode, need the next episode to give the proper comment about that. Overall, in my very honest opinion, if this show get themself aired a prior back the days than the other popular isekai, i will surely appreciated more of this. However, as i am already exhausted over too many isekai show, i just be honest that this first just felt fine. Its not too great, but not so bad either.

I hope the waifus convinced me more, as its always the only part that i enjoy over some isekai. If not, this is clearly just fine, for me.
Thats it for now.
