#anti mushoku tensei

[justidiothings]

Example of (grossness)

I need to get this off my chest and forget it’s existence rant

Someone recommended "Mushoku Tensei" as the best isekai anime, Now i’m not familiar with the isekai genre, with that being said i found out it’s basically fantasy, and after seeing how people was praising, and recommending it to almost everyone I decided to give it a try.

What I expected? a fantasy show with an amazing plot, animation with how praise the series was getting.

First episode comes in, and i’m already feeling disgusted and uneasy, after all he’s a 30 something old in a child’s body, and i’ve seen many of fans say how it’s okay because he’s a child, well news flash, a person with a child's body but mentally an adult lusting after children is still pretty disgusting.

First episode, he’s already sexualizing breastfeeding a baby, and all the woman around him. His mother, the maid, the teacher who i remember right is described by him “body of a middle school girl who is still at the beginning of her puberty..” they’re all seen as sex objects, he continues lusting after them, stealing and sniffing their underwear, and the adults around him just dismiss it.. as normal behavior of a toddler… it would’ve been [just] a bit better IF the parents here played a role, and oh i don’t know, educate him, and teach him manners??

I was shocked, and had to briefly wonder if i’m watching the wrong “show”, after checking comments i see people saying he’s going to get better, and that he’s supposed to be a disgusting piece of shit, it’s a redemption story so i continued watching it for one more episode or two, i don’t remember. All I know is I dropped it because again I literally couldn’t enjoy this show without feeling disgust and uncomfort, and it made me want to give up on anime entirely especially when everyone and their fucking grandma had the same take “I know he is a child…”, i thought there’d be more people saying how it’s fucking disgusting, except

people were defending it, people were fucking defending it, saw someone brought up how the Mc is a pedophile after doing some research (which i regret not doing before watching it.) and people was defending it, saying it’s not a pedophile because the the MC ( barely remember that pos name) is a kid, and i’m just baffled because??? the fact that people are defending it and praising it proves that their standards are rock bottoms, literally any normal person would dump it for how vile and disgusting it is, yet somehow people are praising it and defending it???

(i want those minutes i’ve wasted watching this disgusting show, and whoever recommended me this show, and mentioned how it was the best “isekai” ever, fuck you. that includes those people that kept saying how he was going to get better, after reading the wiki, episode summaries he’s still a fucking piece of shit.)

Whoever defends the series by saying “The main character in mushoku tensei isn't supposed to be a good person at the start of the anime…..” he still remains a piece of shit and from what i’ve heard, and read he gets worser, or those people that says they just learn to accept Mc’s behavior,

Quite frankly, I find it disgusting how [anime community] is willing to throw away morals just for a [average] show, Literally enabling the pedophilia stigma in [anime].

No one has a problem with you [liking] it, though i’d judge if you do because well.., but don’t pretend the MC stops being a fucking pedo, and don’t be angry and insult people when they find him disgusting, because he is disgusting, and no he didn’t stop being a pedo, if anything he got worse, and no him getting bullied doesn’t justify his disgusting actions, and i’m sick, quite literally sick, because if i see another “he’s not actually 30 something old, he’s actually a teen because his-“ i’ll scream,

they’re that desperate to defend their shitty show that they’re using the the kind of rhetoric that child predators use to justify sleeping with children,

to summarize the show is basically "How I went from jerking off to kids to having sex with kids in a new world", and this series is a disgusting shit, and everybody defending it is disgusting shit. The author is disgusting shit too.

i’ll never watch [isekai] anime because apparently that’s the “normal” standard, and anyone who can sit down and defend it needs to be checked, and locked away.

Oh, and the classic excuses they use to defend is :

“There's nothing wrong with him having [sex] with children, he's a child himself now!"

“In their culture it’s completely normal, her being (insert age) makes her an adult.”

“He stopped mentally aging because he was holed up in his room all the time!”

“This is how lonely people act and it’s society fault.” yes, someone actually said this…

[ultraericthered]

Anime reviewers must get high on some substance ���cause what this anime actually showcases is:

A: Rudeus is beyond redemption.

B. Rudeus does not even NEED redemption because he’s seldom ever been the one truly in the wrong, so what’s there to redeem himself for? (Yes, cutting school, alienating friends and family from you, and generally wasting your life as a slacking, shut-in nobody are what’s considered bad here, but assault, abduction, theft, slavery, and RAPE are totally forgivable and Good Actually when Rudy does them! That’s the morality of this garbage!)

Most of the time when I write for Anime Feminist, it's to discuss a series I love.

Today, we're doing something a little different and ripping into one of the worst piles of shit I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

(Content warning for ALL THE BAD THINGS)

[olderthannetfic]

I think some of us are so burned by anti stuff that we have a kneejerk defensiveness. I was talking about anime to someone the other day and the conversation drifted to Mushoku Tensei. I mentioned that I couldn't stomach it because I couldn't see the protagonist as anything other than a disgusting pedophile, but in a way that felt so insidiously predatory that I couldn't dismiss it as simply loli slop. The whole thing's vibe was so off to me that even mentioning the series make me uncomfortable. (I later learned that the web novel version of the story opens with him jerking off to hidden camera footage of his 7 yo niece bathing, which solidified my opinion on it.)

The person I talked to said I sounded like an anti. The worst is that they knew that I was emphatically NOT pro-censorship, so there was no lines to read in between. I wasn't using my disgust as a cudgel to batter anyone else's right to enjoy something. Am I no longer allowed to be disgusted or hate a series for feeling uncomfortable to me? Do my every opinions have to be curated to be as inoffensive as possible so I don't hurt the feelings of people who like the series I dislike? Afaik, the person was pretty neutral on the series so it's not like I was trashing someone favorite in front of them. Like what is this? Why are my taste and my words being policed? Seriously?

Winter 2023 - What to Watch

The new year is here and we aren't starting it off slow. There's a lot that look worth checking out so buckle up, this is a long post full of anime recommendations.

Starting with some banger sequels: Vinland Saga S2 Tokyo Revengers S2 The Misfit of Demon King Academy S2 Bofuri S2 The Vampire dies in No Time S2 Bungou Stray Dogs S4 We also have the continuations of these shows, each one, honestly worth a watch: BlueLock My Hero Academia S6 To Your Eternity S2 The Eminence in Shadow All of these are some big name series that'll definitely have their own following. Personally I'm looking forward to the contrast between the seriousness of Vinland Saga and the dumb humour in The Vampire dies in No Time. As for new series, there's definitely a few noteworthy ones:

NieR: Automata Ver 1.1a For all you gamers out there, NieR is finally getting a solid looking anime. But also for those who haven't played the game, this honestly looks like a solid sci-fi series. 100% worth checking it out. Kubo-san Won't Let me be Invisible This is a new series from Shonen Jump. (I believe there's only 3 english volumes out as of now.) It seems like a solid slice of life and there'll definitely be a decent fan following.

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill This is a series I started reading a while back and it's actually so much fun, I can't believe MAPPA ended up being the ones who picked it up. I think it'll be a solid show and I'm really looking forward to watching it come to life.

Buddy Daddies This looks super fun and cute. It seems similar to Yakuza babysitter but more shonen jump-esque? Genres are comedy and organized crime. Should be a solid series regardless of if there's any similarities to spyxfamily.

Trigun Stampede While I don't know much about the trigun series, I think it's crazy that it looks like this entire show is 100% CGI. I'm interested to see how smooth it actually looks because the trailer looked damn impressive. The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague I've heard about this series and it looks like such a solid adult romance (as in they're actually adults). I'm stoked to have another series like this coming up.

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale The animations look so good 😭I'm such a sucker for this animation style and character design. Something about it just too pretty to not check out. There's also something about it that give me Mushoku tensei vibes. Giant Beasts of Ars This actually looks super different. The concept and creatures look interesting and has an oddly medieval vibe to things. Reminds me a bit of DND. I think it'll be a neat series worth looking into if you're interested in the Kaiju fighting genre. Malevolent Spirits: Monogatari Not going to lie, this looks like a JJK spin off or some kind of smaller SJ series. I'll check it out and see if it actually has any potential, but for now it looks like the standard standout mc with a group of people he's stuck with to fight of spirits. Some additional ones that look interesting:

Revenger I originally thought this would be a write off because it's so low on the list for anticipated series and the name seemed kinda bland, but the trailer actually looks neat. It seems to be an old school action with an anti-hero in old Japan. I can't really explain it well, but definitely worth a look over. Hikari no Ou This is the artsy series for the season. It looks primarily story focused and has the standard artsy animation style (sonny boy, heike monogatari). If you're here for the story, I think this is the one to check out. In/Spectre S2 This series has a solid manga following and seems to have a really interesting concept. Worth taking a look at. Spy Classroom Tbh, I don't think i'll watch this, but it seems like something worth mentioning. Essentially assassination classroom but with spies. If you're looking for the ecchi series - check out: My Life as Inukai-san's Dog This guy's turned into a dog and is kept by the girl he likes. Just 100% ecchi, very limited plot by the looks of it.

And of course, the 3 episode isekai/fantasy section: Farming Life in Another World Not much that needs to be said, but if it can stay as a wholesome farming anime then I'll likely watch a few episodes. The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World The animations look pretty solid and it seems like there might be some interesting creatures/plot points to this one. Worth a few episodes at least. Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte Interesting take on the current theme of entering shoujo games. Essentially these 2 friends are somehow able to talk to the mc in a love game, confusing him and pretty much acting as the angel and the devil on his shoulder. Final Notes: There's a bunch more out that that I ended up not including just for quality's sake. Save you guys the pain of all the isekais out there this season. At the end of the day, there's some really solid sequels of much loved shows and just as many decent looking new series. My guess is that if Buddy Daddies actually holds it's ground against some of the others, it'll be one of the underdogs of the season.

s02ep01 of Mushoku Tensei

Yay, everybody's most hated anime finally started!

"Hey, you, you're finally awake!"

Spoilers below!

So the episode starts and the first thing I see isn't the image above but... this:

Is this Rudeus? Why is he blushing? Can't trust blushing in this anime!

(it wasn't Rudeus lol!)

---

>Do I need to answer that?

Wow I see Rudeus became a snarky ass anti-social hikineet again.

She literally snapped (the arrow).

---

>I'd like a room for a month, please.

A whole month? So he's going to start searching from here?

---

lol he just left a pile of coin and went in

---

My boy, erm, man, is down bad.

This is kinda creepy ngl

---

>I'm not travelling to get over my heartbreak. I need to find Zenith.

Who is Zenith?

...

Oh yeah, his, his mom. I, I think...??? (or was it his sister???)

---

Wow now this is some tropey bullshit.

Ever since wild west movies you can't enter a goddamn tavern without everyone looking at door and making comments. It's like they sit in these tables just waiting for someone to enter through them doors. Like dude what were you even doing there before Rudeus walked through? Weren't you having a conversation? Drinking? Or were you like "hey bro keep watch on the door while I take a sip."

---

>Excuse me, would you mind helping me officially disband my party?

Oh, so that's what he went there for.

>*hesitates*

Just hand the tag, Rudeus, gosh, stop being so melodramatic!

---

>Did his party get wiped out?

Uh... no?

So did nobody notice what his party name was? I thought that would be important? I guess it's not that famous outside the... whatever that demon region was called.

---

>What about your party? >I work alone.

ok, kirito, calm down

---

wow he had a panic attack?

what... what is he touching in there

is it... it's her hair isn't it

...

okay...

bro is down bad

---

Every time I see a scene like this I can't help but think that this person only looks after Rudeus because he looks like a kid and if he looked his original way she would just kick him out.

Sad but that's what I learned from Cheat Skill: people are (jusfiably tbh) prejudiced against fatass hikineets (u_u)

---

Is he talking about his sister or Eris...?

(come to think of it, wasn't his sister already found? Gee, I completely forgot everything that happened in season 1!)

---

>touches Eris hair as a group of dudebros walk by

Rudy... bro...

Haha haha. Brutal.

Just dumping salt on the wound aren't ya!

---

>you're early

I thought he was diligent, but I guess he just didn't sleep.

---

Something I noticed rewatching:

>I can cast spells without an incantation >the girls: *didn't even hear that* >the two magic guys: :o (holy shit) >the sword guy: huh? (what are them reacting about???)

I guess you could say this is a big deal for some. And others have no idea about it.

---

>he doesn't shake her hand

Stop being so melodramatic, Rudeus, jesus christ, they aren't even dead!

---

So the leader isn't the strongest. He sounds like the weakest, in fact.

I'm glad they have a healer. If I remember correctly it's the one thing Rudeus can't do.

Tsundere girl on full power AGAIN I see.

---

>you might part ways with us and party with other adventurers someday.

No, dude, they're using her to teach YOU!

---

>They can't see well in the dark, right?

I'm glad Rudeus actually learned something in his adventures. What an experienced adventurer he grew up (?) into!

PSA: adventurer isn't a stable job. Please don't be like him.

---

Why do I feel like that's not the case for Rudeus...

>then, what if I joined close range?

RUDEUS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU'RE A MAGE

---

>the last person I saw cast silently was a teacher in my school days

It's that rare...

Wait how old is this guy.

He has lines under his eyes so I guess he must be extremely old (like 30 years old or more (sorry ;p)).

With that long hair, scarf and physique he looks like a character from some BL. Which one of the two other party guys would people ship him with?

---

THEY AREN'T DEAD. FUCKING HELL RUDEUS. STOP.

Guy you're talking to probably had his old party members die on him or some shit, your issues are NOTHING compared to *gestures around*

JUST GET IN THE DAMN ROBOT RUDY!!!

---

How nice of the monsters to stay together still in one spot where you can just blast them off the planet with one big explosion magic.

---

>mage, whispering: exa-flame >BOOOM

okay.

>he chants whispering again

Why is he whispering. That explosion was fucking loud. The monsters woke up already.

>he does it again

You know what I think that's just how he speaks.

---

What is Rudeus listening to on the ground?

---

>it's too late

Did he see it with his eye?

Rudeus???

Jesus christ, he was about to suicide by monster grizzly bear attack.

---

Stop giving everyone trouble, Rudeus. Cast some spell...

---

Wow the healer actually heals.

---

>Why isn't everyone running?

You think you can outrun a bear? Humans are better at long distance endurance you know.

>of course I know why they stand and fight

Because... they gonna die if they don't???

Sorry is this supposed to be deep?

---

>goes grope Eris embarrassing hair bundle again

>doesn't

Is this supposed to be character development?

---

I can't believe this lazy sack of shit did nothing the entire fight just to step up last moment and seize the hero spot.

---

Oh it's the melting snow thing again.

This gets a pass.

Because it looks badass.

---

This looks like it could make a good wallpaper.

---

Love at first sight!

If tsundere switches because of his power level I swear to god...

---

What is this. Blood? Mud? Fire burns? Cold burns? An EoE reference? I don't even know.

I'm glad Rudeus can actually loot things like a proper adventurer.

I'm also VERY GLAD this is actual looting in this series and none of that "monster disappears and turns into Japanese-style bath tub drop item" kind of bullshit.

---

The fact that he can say "thank you" in scenes like these is probably one of the best parts of this series.

---

One thing I noticed rewatching:

They're shaking hands NOW because he didn't shake her hand when they left. This went over my head the first time.!

---

>more tavern antagonism

Stop acting like NPCs, NPCs...

---

>everyone: fuck off foreigner >:( *xenophobes* >foreigner: we'll buy everyone a round of drinks! >everyone: uh, yeah ur alright :3

Leader is paladin class I see.

---

>Rudeus! Rudeus! Rudeus! Rudeus!

please stop

this is cringe

he just cast one spell

y'all spoiling him

---

>hand in pocket

AGAIN DUDE???

wait what

what

WHAAAATTTT

no way

It's the panties. The holy relic.

Jesus christ.

>what the hell am I doing?

What the hell are you doing really!

---

You know despite the voice actor's terrific voice acting it's kinda hard to take you seriously when you're pressing your teacher's stolen panties against your face like that.

---

I'm glad he finally came to terms that NOBODY EVEN FUCKING DIED YET.

---

Wow such an impact...ful.. scene... i... guess????

Okay, so we have both good news and bad news.

Good news is... he isn't into the redhead loli.

Bad news is... he's really into the teacher loli.

Sad news is... best loli is the crazy demon lord loli and I'm afraid we won't be graced by her absolutely psychopathic presence again so soon. But we will one day I hope. Think of it like this Rudeus was born with two eyes, right, so what I'm saying is... does that count as foreshadowing??? Please???

---

So new season starts with now-veteran adventurer Rudy getting into a new party and he will probably use their help to search for his mother (?) Zenith.

All things ranted one thing we get in this anime that we don't normally get is a character having started his adventurer job from zero in a world, leaving a party, then forming a new party and showing off his experience.

Normally it's start from zero OR start with full experience.

Refreshing that we get to see both ways for once.

[minnieshark]

i'm only 4 episodes into mushoku tensei but i'm already tempted to make a longass post abt paul greyrat and why he's a shit character. i just hate him so much

[just-antithings]

I don't know if you know this about Mushoku Tensei but there's like a controversy about that. I don't watch the show because I'm not interested in it but even I know about it. Antis definitely hate this show (despite most of them never watching much of it).

this is the first time I’ve heard of it

[animebw]

Having just finished Monogatari, I can see why so many people prefer Rascal. Sure, the former does a lot of stuff wackier and wilder than the latter, but at least if you say you watch Rascal odds are you won't be known by your associates as THAT kind of anime fan.

Easy solution, just hate Mushoku Tensei withe very fiber of your being like I do and you've got your anti-creep credentials well covered.

[ultraericthered]

I hate all that Mushoku Tensei is and has to say, though I'd defend its right to be and say it. However, never as I live would I willingly subject myself to it in any medium because Christ, it and its author have got some serious unworked issues! It's like the Anti-Re:ZERO!

Man, next season of anime is looking thiiiiiiiiin.
