Fuck. This season ending was well made. It’s clear that they tried their hardest to make it bittersweet, and they got it.
Rudeus lost a father, but got a daughter; he lost an arm, but he has Roxy to support him. Norn might have bawled and created drama, but she’s learning how to defend herself. Zenith is disabled, but she has Lilia to back her up. There’s a “but” for every down that they got.
That scene with the grave was specially beautiful IMO. I feel like drinking booze with your parents is special, for both sides - they’re acknowledging that you’re an adult without losing that parent-child link. (Fuck, now I feel the urge to buy a bottle of liqueur and drink with my mum.)
I feel like this is something that Mushoku Tensei does amazingly well, in comparison with a lot of series made for masculine demographics: the main character is powerful, but not invincible. He has to sacrifice things to get other things. And it plays really well with the theme, that it’s worth to go further and chase what you want, that you won’t get things without effort.
I’ll provide some LN spoilers simply because I can’t help but talk about this. I’m excited for season three, after all.
heavy LN spoilers, from multiple volumes onwards
Zenith didn’t lose her memory. The time spent in the mana crystal made her into a Blessed/Cursed Child. She’s telepathic, but lost her ability to talk “normally”. People talk with her, but she only gets an idea of what they’re talking from their thoughts, and then she “talks” and nobody hears it. Eventually she’ll get a granddaughter to talk with her, Lara (Roxy’s daughter). Lara is not a Blessed/Cursed Child or anything like this, she’s simply inheriting the Migurd ability for telepathy that for some reason her mother lacks. It’s kind of funny because almost everyone in the family will see Lara as a silent kid, except Zenith - who sees her as a chatterbox. In fact, Lara is the reason why Hitogami was so hellbent on making Rudeus not go to Bergaritt. If Rudeus didn’t meet Roxy again, Lara wouldn’t be born, and Lara is an essential pawn in the fight against Hitogami.

Urrrrgh, the urge to talk about it! I can’t though - as I’m re-reading the LN right now. At least, until the next episode.

It was an OK episode, I guess. A bit unfulfilling as a season ending episode, but I’m glad to see Mireille joining the ranks after showing her value, without lowering the value of the other vassals.

The whole thing feels so awkward, but I’m glad that it does. It would feel really off if either knew exactly what to say, and how to say it.

It was overall a good episode. A nice mix of action, romance, and the marriage to kick in. I guess that the next episode will be their early life as a married couple?
I wasn’t expecting Lavinia to show up though. My sides went into orbit!
spoilers from the wiki, based on the LN
She’s half-lying when she says that she’s just there to “take a look at his eccentric bride”; she’s Oscar’s maternal grandmother, it’s literally her grandson’s marriage. I don’t think that Tinasha knows this because of her wondering about “if witches didn’t intervene”, well, then your hubby wouldn’t be born you baka. This is likely related to why Lavinia cursed the Farsas’ royal family. Her daughter Rosalia (Oscar’s mother) is dead as the series start; she probably cursed her son-in-law Kevin (Oscar’s father, former king) out of sorrow, or Kevin did some major fuckup when treating his wife.
Aah, I really need to read this LN…

- Comment on Re:Monster - Episode 12 discussion 2 weeks ago:
It was a decent ride, I guess. Not overly exciting; but I like how ending the season with Gobjii’s death gives it a “book endings” feel, at the start we see a bunch of goblins being born and then one dying, while the others move on with their lives.
And goddammit Aporou, let a dying person talk.

Depending on how they do it, the animation might be really fun. The story has the same “driving force” as Tsukimichi, of a character wanting revenge on the goddess that dumped him in a world; but it’s far more serious, the overpowered skills aren’t as flashy, there’s no “city building” aspect but a lot of “my strategy beats yours”.

Sofia’s face when Makoto correctly understood how the Prison of Swords worked, and proceeded to destroy the swords, was amazing!
As well as Makoto’s “sorcerer? close combat fighter? nah, I’m an archer!”. Sofia was having such a hard time with Makoto, only to discover that he wasn’t even playing his strongest cards yet.

If not for Rudeus’ monstruous mana pool they would be all dead. He kept a water wall against three heads dragonbreathing the group.
…hard to talk about this episode without giving spoilers on what comes next. (The LN equivalent is vol12 ch9, by the way.) The fight was exciting, and it ended in such a sorrowful note (Paul is dead, Rudeus lost an arm, there’s something wrong with Zenith). A rollercoaster of emotions, really - and it shows how much Rudeus evolved, from the distance towards his Earth parents to the concern about his new ones.

That scene was hilarious!
Making her a “good hohoho” would be damn great, indeed. But I like how it showed that, even with all her ambition, she’s just a dreamy teen. Talented and capable, sure, but a dreamy teen.

Rudeus did a lot, by not doing the shit that people trying to help depressed people do, that only digs the knife deeper into the wound. He didn’t try to lecture Norn, or that stupid “LotSa PpL HaD iT WoRsE LOL LMAO” +> “stop being a crybaby”.
Comparing her case with Nanahoshi, it’s like water and oil, isn’t it? Nanahoshi was having a meltdown out of frustration and hopelessness, her mindset is completely different from JP!Rudeus and Norn.
Fuck. I really love this series.

It’s nice to see Ars recruiting the three brothers, and actually fixing the relationship of their father with the younger one. And he’s a bit more relatable to Ars in age, Charlotte grew so fast that she literally became a “boob gag character”.
They omitted a few details from the manga, but frankly? I think that it was a good distillation.
- Comment on Anime : Brazil, Japan & Korea Execute Anti-Piracy Raid on 11 Homes 2 months ago:
That’s mostly for show. The impact of their recent measures on the population pirating stuff is next to zero, and that even if they jail someone you’ll get 10 new streamers on their place.
It was the same thing with the alleged seizure of people streaming for TV boxes. (Mine still works fine, by the way.)

Warning: this chapter might induce diabetes on you, due to the excessive amount of sweetness. I mean… they almost said it!
It feels a bit sudden in comparison with the novel, but I’m still glad to see this in manga form.

The manga is fun, so I’ll probably pick this series up once it starts airing. Protag manages to be cynical and serious without being edgy, Seras (the sidekick) is okay, and I kind of enjoy those “we shall punish God!” sort of story.

Rudeus being close enough to hear Bananahoshi’s meltdown literally saved her - I’m fairly certain that she’d use the dagger, she might be psychologically strong but she is no superwoman. And she’s smart enough for her own good, I don’t think that she’d be able to fool herself with “the grapes were sour anyway”.
It’s kind of funny how Zanoba, of all people, had the answer for how to solve the circuit. Because of his hobby, instigated by Rudeus on a whim.
- Comment on Unnamed Memory - Episode 2 discussion 2 months ago:
I picked this series on a whim, but now I’m glad that I did. There’s something different about it; I’m a sucker for beautiful melancholy.
The fight was okay? I’m more interested on how Tinasha and Oscar develop as a couple.

First, Lily says that it would be a loss to have Makoto going to another country. Dangerous, too.
Then, some arsehole guild master happens to kick Makoto off. And he happens to decide to conduct businesses with the demons fighting hyumans. And Lily happens to be spearheading that fight.
Oopsie.

(If any of you all did not see season 1, please skip this comment. It’s actual, heavy spoilers.)
When you mentioned Brazil, you were likely referring to the devaluation of the real in the 2010s, right? The situation actually resembles older events:
:::spoiler what’s going on Money printing.
Brazil mass printed money in the 1980s, and the Trenni kingdom is doing the commodity money equivalent of that, melting old coins with higher silver content to issue more of a newer coin with less silver, but same nominal price.
Even the motivation is the same, the government is trying to pay off its debts. Likely the internal consequences too*.
The kid dealing with Lawrence is part of a huge scheme. His company is amassing the old silver coins, to exchange them with the kingdom itself - basically “Look, I gathered 100 high purity old coins. You’ll be able to make 150 shitty coins out of them. But I want some part of the profit, and a few concessions”.
*It’s a bit off-topic but I remember those events in Brazil well, because they taught me what inflation is. First I was able to buy four sweets with a 100 cruzeiros cowfish coin, then two, then only one. I was eight back then. :::
