Mushoku Tensei Episode 1 & 2 GROUP REACTION

I invited "hoteggsalad" to join me on my Mushoku journey and decided to record this even though I have initially reacted to it already. But I'm so glad I recorded this because I realized a lot of small things which also lead to a great conversation! We will be watching this show together because I think it'll be a great way to discuss the controversial stuff with someone while also debating both sides :) Hope you all enjoy this as well as the upcoming reaction!!!

Mushoku Tensei Episode 1 & 2 GROUP REACTION

Comments

The second one, so it's whoever is in his current physical age group or older like how it is for kids or teenagers in real life, that's the source of a lot of the weirdness of the series early on, as he gets older it gets less weird as his soul and his body start to get closer in age

Wait what do you mean by his body dictates who he is attracted to? Like for example, if he liked older married women in his past life, wouldn't he still be attracted to older women in his new life because he has the same mind he did before he died BUT he's just in a kid's body. Or is it that his new body he has now (kid) will choose who Rudy is attracted to SO for example the same age group as him?

Something to note that is an easily miss-able line that he says is that he physically cant get turned on by/isn't actually attracted to his mom because his body dictates who he is attracted to. This is something to potentially keep in mind for some of the weirder parts in the future. Not really an excuse for shit he does but it does re-contextualize it a bit. His physically body actually dictates a lot for him, his brain is still developing again so its why he can learn things really fast, like magic, or learning to read in under a year. His soul is older but everything bodily is his physical age. The ones who kicked him out of the house were his siblings, skipping there parents funeral was the last straw for them. hoteggsalad out here with the killer observation skills Roxy was trying to cast without an incantation like Rudy does, but it did not work So the magic ranks are as follows: Beginner/Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, Sacred/Holy, Kingly, Imperial, and Divine/God. A Mages rank is determined by the rank of the most powerful Spell they can cast. Great analytical thoughts at the end there, he was definitely not born fucked up, he was a product of his circumstances. Being bullied to the point of isolation, and then 20 years of doing nothing but diving into the darkest pits of the internet will 100% fuck up a person's mentality.

I feel like it’s because the anime hasn’t adapted everything yet. The novel is complete with 26 volumes and the anime covers 12 volumes by the end of season for reference. So for a lot of us who have completed the novels we know how the story will go so we have an appreciation for it.

Top 1?! That's crazy cuz I've heard people say it's one of the best anime I've watched but I've rarely ever seen it as #1 so that's pretty cool to hear and I'm even more curious to see how this anime unfolds as I progress into the story. As for the POV stuff, tbh I intend to focus on the anime first and just maybe I'll check out any other related content BUT you guys can always just send anything for a patreon request stream anyway. Also, feel free to comment any info you may think is necessary from the light novels here in the comments section as I post more episodes. You definitely don't have to because you may be busy but I'm letting you know that I'll be reading all the comments even if they're super long :)

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Mushoku is actually my top 1 so I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do! Also one thing to keep in mind is that Rudy is an unreliable narrator, it’s something I noticed in seasons 1 and 2. The light novel has the pov’s of various other characters but the anime only does Rudy’s most of the time so I highly recommend checking out those chapters or if you don’t want to read it you can check out otaku spirit’s cut content playlist.( I hope I didn’t type too much 😅)
