Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

[shinta|hikari]

Mushoku Tensei existed before most of the "current" wave of Isekai stories and consequently tropes. There were a lot of isekais before it, but those belong to an older generation and had a relatively different set of tropes (i.e. Fushigi Yuugi, El Hazard, 12 Kingdoms, etc.)

The story also has a full conclusion, so it won't suffer too much from random asspulls since the author has had the chance to fix the story from the WN to LN transition. I've only read the first few chapters but hear about this a lot in the LN community.

Yeah, this.

[DarthEnderX]

Neat! Looking forward to it then.

Grand production and I enjoyed the humor more than I remembered from the manga adaptation. It's not terribly unique, but the attention to detail and execution put it a cut above your average isekai, for sure.

[KrayZ33]

I just hope this gets 5 season with the same amount of quality and we see him grow up.
It's just fun looking at images and character movement that are actually animated well and beautifully

This show should be MFauli's dream, considering that they actually show sex between adults happening.

As I was reading the LN, since I'm not a fan of any fanservice, I found it annoying, but seeing animated it actually made me laugh which is a challenge (I'm usually not a fan of the type of comedy found in anime).

LOL, stop making it sound like I care about ecchi scenes I just get upset by the "gay hero" trope, so it's always nice to see some male hero react more realistic.

[DarthEnderX]

I just get upset by the "gay hero" trope

The trope is "Celibate Hero".

[MFauli]

The trope is "Celibate Hero".

But that'd imply that the hero is tempted but refuses to act upon his urges. Whereas the heroes in most of these anime simply show now sign of temptation. At most some light blushing. It's frustrating ;/ Goddamn you, Ichika ...

That's what it is.

[Buffalobiian]

That's what it is.

MFauli most closely describes Chaste Hero, which is in the second sentence of that linked article.

(EDIT: hmm.. actually... yeah that doesn't quite fit either. Guess not everything is a neat trope)

Great use of a Sasuke picture in that article btw. Ino was the most bangable character from early Naruto. The only contender.. Kurenai? Sasuke's mum came in rather late, as did Tsunade.

You spell Temari a bunch of weird ways.

My bad, didn't realise we were talking about Boruto. Temari's a late bloomer.

[DarthEnderX]

Her outfit sucks in Boruto.

[Buffalobiian]

But she's hottest there.

Episode 02

------------------------------





Hahaha, fuck me dead. Those sex jokes being thrown in without being the absolute focus of the show is great. Keep going with that.

It's weird heaving Kyon's voice with that bullied past. His old face didn't fit the voice at all.

[Kraco]

I didn't remember the MC's past was so gruesome. He had given up on life for all intents and purposes, save for ending himself, which does explain some of his behavior, like the degree of shamelessness. A layer of humanity was already removed from him. He's healing pretty well, though, no doubt largely thanks to Roxy. He really loved her.

Somehow they make this feel more genuine.

[Ryllharu]

The setting and worldbuilding in terms of backstory, depth, and society gives me major Scrapped Princess vibes crossed with Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. Scrapped Princess' vibrant detail with Maoyuu Maou Yuusha's "realism" of a fantasy setting.

[MFauli]

Somehow they make this feel more genuine.

Exactly!
This is the effect I always tell those people who want to censor jrpgs about. Yes, too much sexual stuff is dumb, but none is bad, too. A world where sex just happens on the side is just the most realistic, believeable one.

As for the episode, I had wished that he told Roxy something like 'once I'm 15, I'm gonna search for you and make you my bride!'.

Also, I was hoping we'd get such timeskip sooner, but it looks like he'll stay a kid for longer, oh well.

Edit: Out of curiosity I took a look at a certain forum and of course: Social justice assholes are condemning the anime and hate it. Guess empathizing with an ugly dude was too much to expect from 'progressive' people. Sigh.

[DarthEnderX]

Well that got pervy all of a sudden!

But yeah it was nice to see that he looked like an actual NEET in his old life. Instead of just a harem protagonist in a track suit.
