What episodes are Season 1 of Mushoku Tensei?

Episodes 1–23. A 34-year-old NEET dies and is reincarnated as Rudeus Greyrat in a fantasy world, retaining all his memories. He grows up wielding extraordinary magical talent, trained by the swordswoman Ghislaine and the mage Roxy — two of his most important early figures.

Is Mushoku Tensei worth watching despite its controversial elements?

Mushoku Tensei is one of the most acclaimed isekai for its world-building, character development, and emotional depth — but it contains significant fanservice and a protagonist whose past-life behaviour is depicted critically but still shown in detail. Viewers should be aware of this before starting. The story itself is regarded as one of the genre's best.

What episodes are Season 2 of Mushoku Tensei?
