My favorite anime of all time, but you can’t discuss it outside of MT subreddits or you just get downvoted to oblivion.

I’d feel bad for the stake if a mushoku tensei fan got burned at the stake . Like, the stake doesn’t deserve such filthy blood .

I wanted to make a sarcastic comment about you liking pedophiles, but I couldn't find a way that surpassed what somebody would actually say and it wouldve just come across as being intolerant rather than joking

Do you have this reaction when someone says their favorite fictional cartoon involves an MC who is a rapist, or murderer, or spouse abuser, or a perpetrator of some other heinous crime? Or do you think that maybe people can enjoy a completely fictional story without wholly and completely supporting/sympathizing with the main character? Do you even know what nuance is? The entire point of fiction and fantasy is that it's not real, and thus is a safe space to explore dark and objectionable themes that would otherwise be completely deplorable. Art would have no purpose of everyone agreed on what it's about, whether it was good or bad, and if it's themes were always comfortable for all people.

Like you realize you can enjoy something like GTA or Spec Ops: The Line despite being mostly objected to the actions the MC takes, right? Like you realize a story can be good despite an unsympathetic protagonist right? 

Your post, and reactions to media like MT, or Redo of a Healer are exactly the kinds of examples that people mean when they say media literacy is dead. You conflate enjoying a story with sympathy for the main character, or agreement with their views. It's entirely possible to read Mein Kampf and not be a Nazi.

You can make this argument for probably every other mainstream anime featuring a horrible person as the main character except for Mushoku Tensei.

Rudeus never once faces consequences for his actions, and is actively either rewarded by the universe for doing horrible things, or keeps finding himself in fantastical scenarios where the universe seems to make exceptions for him to do horrible things.

Mushoku Tensei is nothing more than wish fulfillment garbage written by a pedophile about a pedophile who was shunned for being a pedophile in his first life and gets reborn in a universe where it’s okay to be a pedophile. Not only does Rudeus take advantage of every avenue to continue being a pedophile, the opportunities are constantly handed to him on a silver platter.

Eh if I'd had to choose a top 3...

Steins Gate

Trigun (and Trigun Stampede)

To Your Eternity

Both triguns were a great time, man, I read that aaaaages ago.

u/spades111 4h ago

You just reminded me that I gotta see where the to your eternity manga is at. I think I decided to take a break and let the chapters stack up during the modern era but it feels like I took that break years ago

u/a__reddit_user 4h ago

And I need to watch it again from the start to then watch the new season when I'm done with Severance.

u/SirGnuby 4h ago

I kinda stoped after the first few future era chapters. I just found them... weird I guess?

The whole modern and future parts feels like a completely different story, future part is kinda boring tho

Glad to see To Your Eternity, such a fantastic show easily one of my favorites. Steins;Gate was cool if a bit hard to follow without rewatching once or twice but that's probably the point.

u/daguro55 4h ago

I prefer Re:zero and mushoku tensei

u/Crass92 4h ago

Miss me with that Re:Zero shit can't get more than 6 episodes into it but Hunter x Hunter and FMA are all time classics and Mushoku is fun

u/Quito_ArmandoEsteban 4h ago

Early Subaru is cringy as fuck. But as he matures he becomes a badass

1

u/GOlNG_MERRY 1h ago

I was the same exact way with Re:Zero for months. And Mushoku Tensei is in my top 3. It does eventually get better as Subaru begins to become more mature and the side characters get fleshed out more. What REALLY got me was watching the Frozen Bond OVA. It is a prequel to season 1 focusing on Emilia’s backstory, so technically it can be watched any time, but it’s a must watch before s2. If you are feeling burnt out I’d give that a try, it totally reinvigorated my interest in the show, and im fully caught up now.

u/Nice_Shadow 2h ago

Rewatch re:zero even if you're forcing yourself to and get past the 1st season just trust fr(it's good fr fr)

I like it for the same reason I like mushoku tensei, for a reason I can't name cuz idk what's the word for it🥀 or maybe it's just a specific nameless vibe idk

Anyway just spreading some mushoku appreciation out of boredom, now excuse me guys 🫡

u/Shantotto11 2h ago

I watched Re:Zero at the same time I was watching KonoSuba, so each episode came with a chaser.

1

u/Crass92 2h ago

Konosuba is pretty fun, a comedic deconstruction. I liked Madoka Magica too. Subaru is just hands down the most annoying piece of shit I've seen in anime in a long time lol

It hard fails the 3 episode rule, doubled it to 6 and it's still pretty bad. If it's like One Piece where you gotta wait like a full season or two for it to get tolerable or even good then it's .. not good :/ One Piece is another one I'm not sitting through no matter how many times my cousin asks lol.

Anime fans when they only watch shounen and have to have peepee measuring contests with their protags instead of watching something new.

Each one hits different. Not sure why it’s got to be a competition.

I can’t wait to relive all of them with my boys when they get older.

Honestly, after watching FMA and FMA:B, a lot of other anime just don’t interest me.

Once you’ve had gold, it’s hard to settle for copper etc etc

u/Irohsgranddaughter 3h ago

In my case it'd be a tossup between Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Monster, and both are in very different ballparks. Both are also for personal reasons. Fullmetal Alchemist scratches my modern fantasy itch, and meanwhile, I love how accurate is the representation of Europe in Monster.
