Sums it up

Me and the guys got into an hour long debate about the morality and ethical nature of Rudeus’ rebirth in Mushoku Tensei. I honestly didn’t know people were so strongly against the show for some of the s*** he does

Magnum opus

Finished wathcing those 2 szns recently too. I Wish they were more Slice of life eps in them

it's very enjoyable for what it is, mindless action/wish fulfillment
don't go into it expecting anything serious and you'll have a good time
it sounds like i'm s***ting on it but i'm just being real with u

@trash_star @Eleganza

april is stacked

It's the fact that's he's a real grown man in a kid's body vs people being reborn as a child who happens to remember their past life

Season 3 has an entire slice of life episode. You'll know it when you see it.

I need to get on this

It's fye

Edit: I read what everybody else said, ignore them

I heard about some of the s*** in the light novel, and then Japaneses kinda wild fr

Already on the list

The mc is literally a pedophile

Rudeus is objectively Epstein but yknow that’s the weird mangaka s*** for you

Least the author stopped writing s*** like that once the character gets older

ORB is just killin off everyone! Reallllllllly wanted to see Draka survive. Nowak was one of the best villains ever tbh.

This the debate, because of the fantastical nature of the rebirth, I think it's murky. I try to keep it relatively light hearted, it's fantasy at the end of the day.

The general concept or premise, "Adults reincarnating as children while retaining full mental capacity". I whole heartedly agree on that premise alone, if you're reincarnated and then are intentionally seeking kids to freak on, you are a predator. Plain and simple.

But then, something like Frieren, where Elves can live for a millennia, or more it's kinda the same thing? You can say well, if you live that long, and decide to get into a relationship with an adult human, that it's consensual because they have the full mental faculties to decide what they want.

But man someone who has lived a millennia assuming no memory degradation, that person is gonna be 100x more cunning that we can probably imagine. If they weren't a recluse all that time, they could potentially know most human social patterns, and just manipulate you without you ever thinking about it like that. So like ethically or morally, should Frieren or any long lived individual be viewed as a predator?

We were high during this debate

orb gonna end up as one of those "underrated classics" in a few years. an incredible show that should really be having it's moment now but it doesn't feel like it's been able to capture a huge audience

Caught up to solo leveling s2 latest ep had me teary eyed

As much as I'm enjoying the fights and power ups, didn't like the conclusion with baran how he just lost focus by a mace to the head I rlly do hope this nigga faces some type of drawback in the series And please LET ME BE INTERESTED IN SIDE CHARS

Other than that I'm not sure if I'm fully on board with where the story is headed yet cause the enemies seem a bit lame.. unless it turns out to be on some HXH chimera ant arc type of time

Still a fun watch but niggas are on crack if they are saying this is better than JJK.

been hearing nothing but good things about it

gonna start it soon, just haven't had the time

Apparently the show is very popular in Japan.

It's fantastic, with moments of truly great writing. The latest episode even got me teary eyed.

I think a mixture of a mediocre to decent adaptation, the manga being unknown to the west and not being heavily pushed by netflix didnt do the show any favors. I feel it will get its flowers like 5 years from now. Im just happy i watched it, will follow the author's next works for sure
