There are a few reasons Mushoku Tensei stands apart from any other isekai LN:

1) insofar as the harem aspect goes, it surpasses any other harem story by having a happy ending for all routes.
2) this is the ultimate OP character who still manages to stay humble, and believably so, throughout the entire 25 volumes. He is not without major flaws, which balances his massive OP-ness, and his mistakes are ones anyone could make.
3) the thing about stories is that the better they are written, the less time tends to have an effect on their relevance or makes them feel cliched. 8 years is not a very long time - it may seem that way to you, but it really isn't.

Lastly, one major reason Mushoku Tensei has a better chance of not sucking than other isekai is the fact that this is a FINISHED WORK. No need for filler, they already know exactly how many chapters there are, the material can be properly laid out and stroy-boarded, etc. etc. etc.

A recent example of an anime that is based on a finished work is Babylon, which I enjoyed. Mushoku Tensei has far too much that happens in every chapter for them to reasonably include it all, and I can easily guess which parts will be left out, because if you've read all of it, it a simple thing to see how the main story could be told without about 40-50% of the total content, even though 100% of it is thoroughly enjoyable! It'd be nice if they animated that 40-50% as OVAs after the main series, however.

Egg Firm has done some very decent work lately, so I'm gonna go ahead and get my hopes up a little, get a little excited for this. I've read Mushoku Tensei in its entirety 3 times, and with this discovery (I just found out right now), I'm off to make it a 4-peat.
