EP. REVIEW: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

I need some confirmation from the novel readers, I only read the manga adaptation of Mushoku Tensei which I am sure it trims lots of excess or side plots from the source novels. But last time I checked, I do not remember there is an extended scene where Rudy harassed Eris like what we have in episode 6. So does the volume 2 of the novel has this scene? Is it as....unnecessarily long and uncomfortable like this?

I do believe I have high tolerance for fan service and tall threshold for pervert behaviors. But that ep 6 scene is the first time I felt uncomfortable watching it, since no matter how young Rudy looks, he still is a 40 year old NEET, that contrast in age difference gets creepy and creepier once we get into the context

I will still stick around, since there are lots of materials left that I would love to see it being animated, it’s just I was surprised that the production team decides to leave the scene untouched or present it elaborately than just skim it

The stable scene was not in the manga adaptation, it happens in the novel but I can't remember if it's worse there however it did get an LN illustration.
Similarly the outing to the town; we see them go on the outing but nothing happens during it, so the aphrodisiac scene is also not in the manga adaptation. Mind you, there are still other similar moments just that the manga didn't adapt all of them.

Well, could have done without Rudy acting like that -_-

To be fair its not like they can release something like that in the US without censoring it

They can, and if they can't they shouldn't be releasing it in the first place. If I had bought this and found out it had been censored I'd upset and stop buying the series. Whether objectionable (as in this case) or not, I'd expect what I was buying to not be filtered without my knowledge.

I mean they 'can' sure but most western countries aren't so lax on pedophilia as Japan is and will outright ban things.

If i'm gonna be paying for a compromised product, might as well not have it in the first place. Fan Translations got me covered.

Weird hill to die on but you do you.

{Mod edit}: I removed some of your post. Leave out the unneeded bait comments towards users from now on. Basically saying a character deserved to be sexually assualted due to karma is also not going to fly here. That much has been said several times. ~ Psycho 101

The karma was her being bashed by the kidnappers in the previous episode (i.e. Episode 5) for being the loud obnoxious demanding ojou-sama who uses violence and loud demands, like her grandfather who is the influence on her, against anyone lower status. Please don't jump so fast.

It has to be very hard to stop watching a series, literally every week people crying in the comments, the series is not going to change radically from one episode to the next, if you don't like it just erase the series from your mind and go on with your life.

Sadly I read the second book of the LN, because the story was moving slowly, but I wasn't prepared for what happens at the end of the second book, I guess chapter 8 will show that.

Took me 6 episodes to realise that apart from liking the animation and disliking Rudy(more on that), I really don't care about anything else in this show (either in a positive or negative way). Probably dropping this after Ep 7, there wasn't really anything to keep me interested.

About Ep 6, Mrs Beast Lady doing a small fist bump after solving simple arithmetic was very funny and relatable as someone who sucks at maths and flying fortress are always cool (even if we just got a glimpse .
