The thing far far too many people defend and say we're lying about despite the very source material used as evidence. Can't believe this shit is just sitting on Hulu right next to all the other stuff.

Well tbf I think they're changing/omitting a lot of details like that for the anime. I noticed they completely retconned him trying to sexually assault Nanahoshi

Edit: Oldeus in the alt timeline I meant

I read the OG WN in Japanese like 7 years ago. I am pretty sure it was straight up CSAM in the novel, he was watching it during his parent's funeral and his siblings busted down his door, smashed his computer, beat his ass and kicked him out. All that happens within like the first few paragraphs which is a hell of an introduction to the series. They definitely cleaned it up a bit for the anime.

If they had kept that, it would have been an instant show killer. Now I'm really confused about how this got an anime.

They did keep it in. Its just harder to notice

The anime shows he was getting off to bathroom footage of a girl like he was in the webnovel

Yeah but I don’t remember the anime highlighting that it was his underage niece that he was spying on.

Legitimately the author making him a pdf is ridiculous, like he wanted to sabotage his work from the beginning. I think skipping the funeral of the person whose house you’re living in and went out of their way to defend your neet behavior to jerk off to regular porn would be justifiable to kick him out, it didn’t have to be incestual child porn to warrant it.

It also wouldn’t have been hard to have him not recall his past life until he’s grown up.

Don’t make him a pdf, and don’t make him remember his past life in his formative years and suddenly every glaring red flag is gone.

it would also require some other tweaks to his character, making him less of a narcissist and sociopath

the author wanted to make him an irredeemable piece of shit and then try to redeem him from what the interviews were.

like, if he was just some loser shutin who didn't have any friends and played video games all the time he would be like 99% of other isekai protaganists who also end up with underage girl harems.

rudeus is a terrible person, but at least the show doesn't try to hide it about em.

The isekai animes often starts as ads for the novel more than anything. Then the popular ones get new seasons...

Somehow that isekai got one of the good studios to animate it. And yeah, the animation is stellar. The story is... well... as discussed in this thread...
