Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Review

"optional" music from the anime

An Isekai fantasy story about a shut-in guy, who pretty much had done nothing in his life, wasting away his time in his room playing video games, having no friends, and no one to support him anymore.

One rainy day when he was kicked out of his house, and was walking aimlessly outside, he saw a girl arguing with some guys, which grabbed his attention, and the next thing he noticed a truck was going straight at her.

In a split moment, he rushes to save her and ends up getting crushed by the truck and dying.

Just as he thought that was the end, out of nowhere, he finds himself in front of a figure that claims to be some kind of god and gives him a second chance, to live once again, to find his own meaning once more.

It's pretty obvious that the god also had something to gain from it, but he nonetheless agrees to it.

The world goes white, and the next moment, the MC opens his eyes just to witness himself being a newborn in the arms of his new mother.

And that's how his new life starts in a fantasy world, that has magic, dragons, and even demons.

He finds great interest in magic, and with his mature mind, he is capable of understanding it quite sooner than expected.

And thus, his story begins.

The animation is beyond amazing, like, typically you don't expect an isekai to get such good animation, but there are some moments, that really leave you in awe.

The OST is also incredibly good, fits the moments, and hypes up the action.

I was honestly taken by surprise by how good this anime was actually made.

I've read the manga so I already knew the plot was going to be good, but it still needs to be executed correctly with all the important details, and, I have to say, it indeed was.

The aesthetics of it, made it stand out from the rest of the anime of its genre and the action feels exciting and not the typical "one slice and you die by the mc" type of combat.

One of my favorite things about it is that even if he started life anew, he doesn't forget his past life, it doesn't get forgotten in the next episode, his past consciousness follows him around all the time, speaking in its own voice, and portraying his thoughts through it.

The characters are well done and it has the good and the bad side of them, as people actually are.

The anime also has some amazing twists that keep your attention undivided until you finish it.

The best part is that the new season just started as well, so it's one of the best times to tune in and enjoy the ride.

OP: Captivating visuals with a very heartwarming and relaxing melody, gives you the idea that the story will also be peaceful, heh.

ED: It amazes me how they used astounding animation even in the ending, and just as the opening, it still retains that peaceful feeling.

Ending Comment:

Bruh moment.
