Mushoku-tensei ~Isekai ittara honki dasu~

Remember when the isekai genre was not dragged in the mud like a 5$ hooker? Pepperidge farm remembers! Jokes aside the anime adaptation so far follows the source material quite nicely from the 3 episode sample i've seen, animation quality compared to everything i've seen this past year is top notch, so far i'm really impressed by the work Kabushiki studio had done with the series, and if the pacing, and quality keeps up with the other episodes this could easly be the best anime series in this season.

This anime is a gem. The story is interesting, the animation is perfect, and the level of detail and thought is on the same level as Attack on Titan.

If you like the adventure genre then I would highly recommend it. The magic scenes are spectacular, the fighting scenes are immersive and the world feels very real excluding the magic.

First of all, is it pervy? Off course it is, it's an anime, and it's 40 year old guy in a boys body, everything he does will be questionable, but compared to basically 80% of other animes it isn't even that bad. If you can get over that, than its an anime that actually has some depth that this genre never has, it doesn't rush the plot, the mc doesn't always make the right choice and is far from perfect but doesn't annoy you because you understand his thought process.

So if you're sensitive don't watch it, if you're used to most animes I would highly recommend it.

In terms of the storyline and visuals, it was excellent it followers through the concept from beginning to end, and the emotional arc was great, so why did I give it such a low score: 1. There is no need for such a well told concept to consist of a perverted male character, the whole idea is that he is reborn and can start over again.

2. Children having sex - really - this is sickening.

3. Almost naked women - outrageous this is the 21st century why have we not moved past this.

4. The sexual exploitation of the children by older predatory men is beyond the pale.

The animation was the first thing that shocked me but the pacing, voice acting, soundtrack, and world building really are top notch. Looking forward to the second part of season 1. Second best anime of the year behind jujutsu kaisen
