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.

Season 1:
Mushoku Tensei is shaping up to be one of the best fantasy anime. Even though the plot is same as every other isekai (it got a late adaptation, this series popularized all the tropes in the first place), what sets it apart are the characters and the worldbuilding. Rudeus is a great protagonist that doesn't just become another Isekai harem God just cause he got hit by a truck, he is a flawed human who gets a second chance at life and tries to better himself like every other character in the show. I'd go as far as to say that Mushoku Tensei is the most logical of all isekai. Aside from all of that this show also excelles in animation, even the opening theme is a banger. All of this makes it a beautiful experience everyone who loves Fantasy should give a try. (If you can stomach some fanservice her and there)

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 Isekai anime is one of my all time favourites the plot and characters are all interesting although the premise is not original it is executed very well considering all the garbage Isekai has to offer these days this one truly feels like you are immersed in the world with the main protagonist witnessing his growth with him and can I just say the animation and art style is just gorgeous very high tier I recommend this to anyone that enjoys a good story and visuals.

Truck-kun is back at his job of isekaing people to magic/adventure worlds after the failed attempt of isekaing Nasa last year. Honestly thought the first episode looks great, even though it has a very basic and overused plot it's still entertaining as though not unique, it just does things right and is a great show if your a fan of the isekai genre.
Animation is great and the characters and looking good unlike most isekai where all the girls around the mc are annoying as hell.
Hope it continues being great.

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

This series is not a fast paced as I thought initially, its a slow pace and character evolving anime. I liked the fact the backgrounds and landscapes where epic, battle scenes where quite good too.
If you expects a fast pace, boss, battle and conquer type anime then this is not the one.
Its rather a unique story telling from other anime's out there.
It could easily have 4 or 5 seasons in the future as each arc takes depth in story.
My favorite character from the entire series is Aria's body guard.
Warning: be prepared to watch the first few episodes with an open mind.

I strongly advise you to watch this anime,
The drawing is great and the story is amazing.
I just hope the anime has a long number of episodes🤧💔.
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.

It's a pretty horny show. Excessively so. Even by anime standards for shows that are known to do this it pushes that boundary a little far. They try to dress it up with other elements so you can look past that. Such as the main character being overly emotional at times due to his relationships. But it's definitely a harem with fan service, full of unbelievably accommodating female characters.
That said, this isekai sexual wonderland is perfect for the narrator given who he is. At this point it's unsure if this has something more to do with the overall evolving plot, or is just a convenient excuse to do the same show we've all seen before. The former would make this interesting. The latter, utterly unsurprising. Narration itself is delightful, and very fitting. The major characters we're introduced to are all likable people, if not a little on the typical side. Combat animation is done very well, and a few fights are thrilling with real stakes on the line. It's also easy to see the care they put into the sequence of events and pacing throughout. A clear indication they really do want to tell a story here.
Over-sexualization and too much fan service often ruin shows like this from being what should be something pretty amazing reduced to just another series in a pile of forgettable entries. What exactly is the appeal of a panty shot in a dangerous, supposedly tension-filled moment? Or large breasts prominently being featured for no reason other than to be featured? Or the harem category in general, which would be engaging if it weren't for the utterly ridiculous way these women throw themselves at the main character. There was a part in the latest season that could have been so much better had they put in a little more effort. It had the potential to seriously engage the audience in sympathizing with Rudy's romantic dilemma. But no, completely unrealistic events are what we're given, and apparently there's a market for this s***.
It could have been brilliant, but you can settle for entertaining. Just expect the usual nonsensical harem BS and the rest is okay.

The premise of this anime, where a 34-year-old man reincarnates into the body of an newborn, grows into a child, then grooms and engages in sexual activities with underage girls (actually had sex with a 12 year old), is profoundly disturbing and morally indefensible. Regardless of the reincarnation plot device or the animated format, the character's actions constitute child exploitation and abuse. This behavior is an egregious violation of ethical standards and legal norms designed to protect children. The portrayal of such actions, even in an animated context, normalizes predatory behavior and trivializes the severe impact of child sexual abuse. This serious issue overshadows any potential merits the show might have.
Media, including animated content, has a responsibility to uphold ethical storytelling, especially when it involves vulnerable populations. This show fails to meet that responsibility, making it unworthy of viewership or support. It is crucial for audiences to reject content that undermines the protection and well-being of children, regardless of the medium.

I don't really know what to say, I started the Anime when the first episode dropped because I heard it was really good and entertaining and really got hooked into it. I even read the whole Manga in a day because I couldn't wait for the new episode. Honestly I was really bored of the most Isekai Anime for the reason they were all the same. For me this is a masterpiece and has the potential to become one of the best (Isekai)Anime out there.

Im hooked from the first episode of the show and my favourite scene is when the protagonist takes off his shirt. I just burst in laughter whenever I see that scene I just love the way this show is executed and hope it will live up to the expectations in the near future too.
"I highly recommend it for any anime lover.."

If u r enjoying the anime even one bit. Then the light novel will blow ur mind. If the genre is fine with u, then the light novel is a must read. It's truly a master piece. Not perfect, but nothing is perfect. :P . Just didn't want u to miss on it! In my opinion, u should read it as the main & watch anime or manga as the reference.

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.

Unfortunately, this anime became very popular in the first season and rightly so.
Why is it unfortunate?
Because this anime is the same anime that was ruined when it became popular, so that the seasons became longer and the quality of the story decreased.
The first season had a great story and great subjects
As great as the first season was, the second season was awful It is better for the makers of this anime to think and reconsider the story process The second season had very poor story writing and was boring and was just a waste of time and had no special subjects The second season was not in the storyline of the first season I give a rate of ten to season one and a score of four to season two.

The anime presents itself beautifully, has a beautiful soundtrack and an amazing cast of characters. All of which except the MC which seemingly so would be an antagonist of any other series. This show could have been a lesson for NEETs, people with pedophilic notions, predatory behavioral patterns or some form of stunted mental disability making them child-like by educating them on the ethical ramifications of their behaviors and how harmful it is to their growth as well as those involved. Instead, the anime promotes all behaviors with no consequences for predatory behavior. It could have been great, it could have given the MC reasonable consequences for sleeping with a child or making the character feel a semblance of empathy or disgust through their actions, it did not. I really think this anime would have thrived more if it wasn't an Isekai. Every male character in this series is more redeemable than the MC. Even the reprehensible overweight kid on the throne threatening to assault Roxie has more leeway than a 40 year old in kids body feeling no guilt while taking advantage of a 15 year old. The MC is more childish than any character I've seen in anime and the worst part is that there has been little to no development, with the biggest development being learning to be a parent. Its ironic that kidnapping is frowned upon while predatory actions to young women are not. Root for the villains and supporting cast while they educate this miserable sack of crap that the writer somehow thought would be a good idea for either entertainment or some creepy manifestation of their own desires.
