Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - Season 2 Part 1 [Blu-ray] [Region A & B]

After the wild ride that was Season 1, Mushoku Tensei: returns with Season 2 Part 1, and I have to say—it absolutely delivers. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that Season 2 is my favourite so far.One of the biggest improvements in this season is the shift in tone. If you found parts of Season 1 to be too pervy, cringe, or weird, then you’ll be relieved to know that Season 2 tones all of that down significantly. The writing is far more refined, focusing on meaningful character development, emotional depth, and world-building rather than shock value. This makes it much easier to get invested in the story without constantly rolling your eyes or feeling second hand embarrassment.But let’s talk about what really makes this season shine—the characters. Every single one of them is extremely likeable this time around. From new faces to returning favourites, the cast is brimming with personality, and it’s hard not to root for them. The interactions feel more natural, the relationships feel more genuine, and there are some truly hilarious moments sprinkled throughout to balance out the drama.And, of course, we have to talk about Rudeus and Sylphy. They are hands-down the best together. Their relationship is filled with so many cute moments that it’s impossible not to smile whenever they’re on screen. Watching their bond grow and seeing Rudeus mature emotionally in a way that feels authentic is incredibly rewarding. They complement each other so well, and their scenes together are some of the most heart warming in the entire series. Rudeus really does learn and improve from his past mistakes and urges, so to see him change so much is very rewarding.The only downside? This is just Part 1 of Season 2, meaning we have to wait for Part 2 to come out. The cliff-hanger ending makes the wait even more painful, but thankfully, I couldn’t hold out that long and ended up finishing the rest of it on Crunchyroll. And let me tell you—it’s so worth it.Overall, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2, Part 1 is a major step up from its predecessor. It dials back the awkward elements from Season 1 while doubling down on everything that makes the story and characters so engaging. If you weren’t sure about continuing after Season 1, I highly recommend giving this one a shot. You won’t be disappointed.
