Anime 55888 Mushoku Tensei Ii Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2 Reviews

Hear ye! Hear ye! With utmost reverence, I do reveal unto thee the anime of the season once again! Our hero hast persevered against the melancholy brought about by thy fair lady Eris, been wedded to his fanciful elven bride, and even made ends on an abundant abode to protect his ever-growing clan. What adventures shall await our valiant hero in chapters untold? Await with bated breath for another enchanting season to uncover the sagas yet untold!

On a serious note, this season of Mushoku Tensei doesn’t have the same hook that previous ones had. He’s not depressed with erectile dysfunction, he’s not on a journey ... to get back to the central continent, and with the ending of the last plot point, the first 3 episodes of this season feel like something ripped straight out of season 1 pt. 1. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking that this season of Mushoku Tensei is some sort of slouch, I’m willing to bet that this season will be ranked in the 8.5-8.7 range at the end of it all.

What makes me so brazen on that assessment? A couple of things. Firstly, the quality sol stuff from last season is here and it’s arguably more impactful. Unlike last season, where the sol stuff focused primarily on establishing new characters, this season focuses on building complex developments with the characters we already have. This is best seen through the Elinalise and Sylphy connection; more connections with increasingly important characters are to come as the season goes on.

But what if you watch Mushoku Tensei for the action and adventure? You’ve been starving since season 1 as this series has been doing its best Sousou no Frieren impression. Well don’t fear, it’s going to be back in full swing! I won’t spoil anything (the op does enough of that), just know that turning point 3 and the next 5-6 episodes that follow will be absolutely amazing from your guy’s perspective, arguably being the overall peak of the series, so don’t lose faith from just the first 4-5 episodes.

As for the production, the animation is still high quality: the jumpscare in episode 1 and the duel in episode 2 serve as evidence of that. The op and ed are also amazing, although not intertwined with every episode anymore, albeit for good reason, and the background music still pops in that “Mushoku Tensei-esque” way.

Overall, this season of Mushoku Tensei will be something special. There’s truly something here for everyone, the sol fans, the action and adventure fans, and everyone else in between. As long as the animators and production committee stays the course and doesn’t fuck anything up, this will be a season to remember. So with that, I encourage you to hop on this ride before it leaves the station, because trust me, it won’t slow down from here on out.


Thank you for reading.
