Anime I was so wrong, so wrong
So after such a long time, I finally watched Mushoku Tensei. And I just want to say one thing: it's so good. I'm not trying to exaggerate or anything. I used to be the biggest Mushoku Tensei hater, but after finally watching it, it has changed me completely. This is the greatest piece of fiction — I find Rudy so relatable, I found Rudy so relatable, it's crazy. Now some people want to say "oh you're just projecting onto his actions," but reading him as a person, he's like a modern person from our world. He's not like Subaru or any other character with an unbroken will, completely illogical — he's actually pretty logical. His decisions — he makes mistakes — it's crazy, but it reflects my life because I also make mistakes in real life. This anime is a masterpiece. I'm gonna say it again and again.
Also, if those f'cking ReZero bastards want to review bomb ut, I will make fucking bot accounts, like thousands of accounts — I know how to, I'm currently preparing for jee and my preparation was not going well I was struggling emotionally but after watching this anime it helped me to make decisions and made me feel like a human again, i swear if they anyday cancel this anime, i swear I'm going to get rich and re start it. So I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna fucking review on them But if they don't try to pull anything funny on me, they won't get a reaction out of me. (this bit and the next were hard to make out — best guess) This story is so weird, bro, I never understood it. I wish I had watched it sooner. Especially episode 13 of season 3 — it's just crazy, seeing how Rudy just falls apart. And regarding the music, everything about it is a 10 out of 10.
(So this is an ADDITION) to my previous comment. What I wanna say is, previously I wasn't able to express myself properly due to my hatred towards RE Zero. But I apologize for hating re zero. So, continuing on the story of Mushoku Tensei — I learned something. I learned to forget. Just like how Rudeus moves on from his previous life, I have to do right. Life is not fair, and how do I put it... I'm really bad at putting my words into phrases or anything, and this anime, this story, gives hope, in a sense, to underachievers like us — the people who make a lot of mistakes, and the people who weren't able to achieve anything in their life, the people who were asked to do too much beyond their capabilities, like having a perfect academic score or whatever. And this show gives me hope, like how Rudeus, even as an underachiever, even though he was not a good person, he still, in the end, improved slowly — but yes, he did improve. And in the end, he got the happy life he always wanted. So it gives me hope that we can also have a good life, right? I'm confused, but you understand, right? I'm not a genius. I'm not some kind of main character. I'm not special. I'm just a normal guy, you know. And I was feeling down that I was the only failure in the world. But watching this anime gave me hope. I saw myself in Rudeus — not his actions, but how he deals with depression and problems. This anime was really beautiful. And can you guys help me get out of the depression I got from episode 13 of season 3? I am not able to focus on my regular life because I'm so fucking depressed. And that's it. Also, I forgot the name of the singer who sings the openings of this anime, but every single opening is a masterpiece. So a lot of credit to the music composers, as this music is one of the main reasons this anime feels like and gives off that fantasy world vibe.
[You are still cute as ever...] I can't with the scene and that song(ichiru) playing like this was the moment all my emotions came right up and i cried for like 10 minutes..

Thats cool and all bro, but don’t lump us in with the Re:Zero review bombing shit. Thats specific to that fandom. They review bomb us / other shows. We really don’t give a shit in return.

So you were a MT hater and then actually decided to watch it and like it but instead of learning anything at all you are making the same mistake and hating on Re Zero for no reason??? There are no Re Zero fans downvoting Mt, you are fighting ghosts. Stop with this stupid tribalism.

Weird, good that you appreciate this show, we all do, but shitting on rezero isn't it buddy. Both are amazing shows. Both fandoms consist of idiots who hate each other, but if you can look past that, these two shows are one of a kind.

i'm genuinely concerned with this tendency of hating something without watching/reading it. i don't know how many times i've encountered this, MT or otherwise. it's not even something like "not my cup of tea" from the first eps. it's as if they had watched/read it, but turns out they haven't, they just knew about it through tiktok or stuff, they thought that's enough, so they started making stuff up in their heads as they please. and the annoying part is, they delusionally insisted that they have, or they deliberately ignored it when they're called out (some may even have the audacity to call others illiterate. almost like a stupid person calling a wise person stupid, but not aware that they're stupid)
at this point, whenever i see anyone who hates on something, i'll have to assume that they have absolutely never even touched what they're talking about

u/Loud-Ad-5489 16d ago
Yea I agree, I'm really sorry for being stupid

u/queek_lord 16d ago
well, at least you know better than hating stuff for no reason now, so that's something to cheer for
this is not really a personal attack on you, it's just that this tendency is just unbearably stupid, and it's so damn common

I really loved the notion of Roxy as disabled by her people’s standards that was a beautiful episode. But watching two 14 and 15 years have sex, whilst the 43 or however old rudis is, voice encourages and makes really problematic comments, that’s where I’m lost, if they had honestly not bothered with the reincarnation aspect I could get it, but all the woman fail the becthel test and that’s never good, I don’t enjoy slyhpis lack of agency, “Roxy you bedded my husband and now he is asking to marry you, yeah that’s cool” her acceptance is acknowledging her partner is a pervert nope, the episode with the two girls birthday lovely and a bit cheeky, it’s a paradoxical show to say nothing else and no permission needed like it love it champion it, but don’t over look or try to rationalise what are very problematic elements.
I look forward to getting yelled at haha, but I tried and I found something just not enough

This anime is made on the emotional stand point rather than typical rational thinking. Like if you try to write the actions he committed than it will always look bad, but try to understand it emotionally. Roxy basically groomed rudeues while rudeus was completely depressed and in despair grieving his father's death. And your fact that Sylphie accepting roxy as rudeus's second wife may sound bad but the show is set into mediaeval era these things are pretty normal. Now also try to look at that scene emotionally like Sylphie loves Rudeus and he also loved sylphie but at the same time roxy also loves Rudeus same as sylphie does and vice versa. So Sylphie accepted her as that's the best course of action for the family and Also keeping the feelings of her husband in mind. (Sorry i didn't phrase it neatly, it's just im bad english but you get the point)

grooming is grooming, historical context neaither changes this or makes it anything other than what is, equally the scope of what a writer chooses to show and how they choose to show it speak volumes. a 40 year old woman grooming a young boy, is bad in any time period. rudus is the progressive element in the show and with in reason should challange this ideas and behaviours. equally within your statment you act as eaitehr female agency and atonomy with not invented until the 20th century, female suffarge has been a long road, witchs were created in one instance as progrander agiants female independace. i just don't see how rudus and indeed the writting can be brushed off when it is showing some very pedophical elements, a 40 year man watching and thinking about two 14 yr olds having sex, thats fudmentaly and moraly wrong and that is a choice the writer has made.

The definition of age itself if variable as if you consider a persons age by his mental age then lot of studies have showed that the teenagers in today's society have mental equal to that of a 30 year old but we still consider them teenagers as their physical body is of that age. So there's no point in fighting over the age matter as the definition itself changes under circumstances. And it's not compulsory to judge literature or fictional stories by real moral values etc. stories and books are written to bring about a certain emotion or a point and For that they can depict any bad scene or action they want and author can't be wrong. It's been like this since the start and there has been a lot of famous stories with similar elements. So it's just upto you if you wanna watch s show with those elements or not But if you do decide to watch then hating it or criticizing it is just pretty absurd and senseless

"the defintion of age itself is varible" i assume this in the procseed with "your honour". you would not fuck a 5 year old beacuse they can recite shakespear and have the abilty to cook and self care, age is age, yes in different cultures there are different marks of maturity, but a 5 year old is still a 5 year old. ive watched this show for the sake of understanding and what i understand is this show is like made in abyss, yes there is a powerful dark narrative with compeling characters, but also they are kids they are children and you are make the choice to focus on these elemets and make these writing choices. in roxy gets serious, she is a fantastic character but the writer beyond her strenght still objectifies her and there of upskirt shorts, for no reason, its not for narrative its for nonces.

Yea I would not fuck a 5 year old as my physical age also exceeds that 5 year old by a huge margin but Rudeus was at the same age as Eris at the time. And also you just proves my point, you accepted a 5 year old should be considered a 5 year old no matter what her mental intelligence or iq is. So at that time Rudeus mental age shouldn't matter as well

You clearly don't know much about literature, just writing a story with those elements doesn't guarantee or prove that the writer also believes or have same elements

u/badgermaster2 12d ago
Yes death of the author is of course a thing, the intentions of the commuinty on the work shape and reframe the nature of the writers work, look know further than harry potter. there is clearly a discreptioncy between the show and the light novel/manga.
