Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

[Ryllharu]

Since you don't like how Orsted appeared out of nowhere to do significant things, I reckon you also don't like Ruijerd, who also super conveniently appeared out of nowhere to help Rudeus and Eris cross the demon continent. The emperor loli of the demon world also appeared out of nowhere and scooped an eye out of Rudeus head.

I don't know what exactly Ryll expected from this scene, but it was his expectations vs reality that failed, not the story. That's how I see it.

What I expected? Better writing each time this happens. Orsted might as well have been a random ass red dragon. That would have been better, because they actually talked about it earlier in the episode. Yes, I am aware he is the "dragon god" he could have been literally anything or anyone else and it would not have made one fucking bit of difference. The fact that he turned around and saved him immediately for arbitrary reasoning from a different character with zero build up either is worse. This is the writing I would expect from Bleach, post-Soul Society when he had obviously run out of properly formed ideas.

I am consistent, yes.

Cons: The Ruijerd storyline. Zzzzzzzz.

Bad stuff first then. The Ruijerd storyline is suddenly and abruptly completely boring as shit. I don't care how you want to count Mushoku Tensei as the "godfather of isekai" the whole, 'You mustn't kill! Even the bad guys!?' plot thread is so old and trite at this point it's not even interesting.

Mushoku Tensei started in 2012/2014, and this trope was old in anime THEN. It was old in 1992 for Terminator 2. It was old in Dragon Ball. I'm honestly not even interested in seeing what (if anything), the series will attempt to do as a different spin. I feel like I've seen every possible iteration of the trope already, and it isn't even an interesting or compelling one to begin with.

It wasn't so much that they had a loli demon, it was the complete tonal shift she brought along.

From a generally grounded and well rooted series to Panty & Stocking type slapstick.

Her section felt like a bonus gaiden manga chapter that's either crossovers, deliberate continuity breaks for fun (e.g. All of the Black Lagoon ones), Momotaro, or Alice in Wonderland themed.

edit:

Just like it's cool because there was blood in it.
it's cool to hate on stuff for no real reason.

When MFauli and I actually agree on something like this, you should reconsider the depth of your own opinion.
