Isekai is trash but I do agree that Mushoku Tensei is the best one of them
No.40450
My gripe with Mushoku Tensei is that there is no way a loser NEET will suddenly become hardworking just because he is reborn as a baby, unless you're using the argument that he has a different personality now because of his new brain.
No.40452
>>40450Mushoku learned foreign languages quickly because of his new body, so by that logic its possible he retained his "self" while his personality is altered.

>>40450>there is no way a loser NEET will suddenly become hardworking just because he is rebornA good lot of downtrodden young men are as down as they are because of the particulars of Earth and Earthly societies. If a man who despairs among his fellow humans reincarnates among the very same humans, he's unlikely to live any more of a fulfilling life the second time around. If he reincarnates in a place and time where adventure is to be had, evil is to be slayed, cute witches (2d) are to befriend, and strong ale to be chugged among dwarven kings… Then yes, he may find happiness in this new yet somehow more human environment. Even if he wasn't aware that his poor outlook was the fault of those around him, he would still come to love a world closer to one in which the human mind has adapted to over the life age of the Earth. Society as we know it now is a sudden and rapidly deployed experiment. Many of us haven't adapted.

>>40461yeah, that's the point, that's why i love it. tho it's a bit weird that normals also love it so much considering that it's a hikki neet khhv fantasy.
No.40515
>>40500>tho it's a bit weird that normals also love it so muchThere's a number of reasons, two that come to mind:
1. Normalfags consume without thought. Probably just hoping on bandwagons, I mean, there was a recent Power Rangers special and all the normalfags were raving about in my work group chat. Never mind that after a certain age watching Power Rangers labelled you as a "fucking baby that still watches power rangers".
Normalfags have this delusional belief that they are the underdog in life, I've seen normalfags compare themselves to Arthur Fleck, Travis Bickle, K, the Underground Man, etc people they wouldn't give a second thought or piss on if they were on fire IRL.

>>40448>should be very relatable to wizardsI could not bare to watch more than 5 episodes, Mc just turns in to a massive normalfag with a harem of succubi, why a volcel wizard should relate to this?
The only relatable thing is Mc's pre isekai life but it is clearly written by a normalfag for normalfags amusement.
Isekais are in general failed normie\crab cope fantasy, this one is not much different.

It was an OK show, but didn't like how the protagonist wanted to fuck his little sisters and mother and maid and everything else that moved.

I just finished the first episode of the second season. It was great.
No.40845
I wish the story explored the psychology of the protagonist more and went in depth into his trauma, personality development etc but there was very little of that. There was a bit where the isekai father confronts his immaturity but not much more than that. I want to see an isekai where the author is brave enough to send the MC back to their original life and reality at the end of the story and see if their isekai experiences and his new worldview will have effect on how how he navigates reality. But I guess in the end Mushoku Tensei is relegated into the library of wish fulfillment and low quality fantasy

The second season was quite boring. We got a generic school setting and basically zero action. It was all drama dealing with rejection, ED, depression etc.

>>40845>wish fulfillmentI've noticed that this seems to be becoming more and more common in every type of anime. Korean, Chinese, and Japanese anime are all becoming more wish-fullfillment oriented. Korean and Chinese stuff is almost gratuitous. Chinese MCs act almost like super villains because they are way stronger than everyone and they go around ruthlessly slaughtering people based on small insults and shit.

>>41135My guess is it has something to do with a push to improve worker conditions in the industry so they are producing fewer episodes over a longer time period to give the staff less insane work schedules. I have absolutely no specific knowledge of this though and it's just speculation.

aren't all isekai mcs virgins?
No.41437
>>40736This. Same for me. I don't understand how this could be popular here, aside from the wish fulfillment aspect. The pre-isekai backstory stuff that shows up once in a while and rarely has meaningful bearing on the present story is okay. But, again it's merely window dressing background.
The story itself is nothing more than watching a blessed ubernormalfag Chad born in an ubernormalfag Chad family live an ubernormalfag Chad life.
No.41454
>>41437yes, that is the point of escapist wish fulfillment fantasy shows. To let people (losers) self insert as the MC and enjoy pretending they have the most amazing normalfag life possible.
