The anime is rushed so you don't feel time as much as in the light novel. It's not just events that were cut, but the reading through all of it makes you feel it even more. Roxy stars and LEAVES on volume 1. Then only reunites with Rudeus until volume 12. It takes ages to get there. And in the story 11 years have passed. So it makes sense Roxy can't recognize Rudeus. Plus, the LN depicts Rudeus as decently buff thanks to his daily training, so he must have look lots different in her eyes.
Decent review. First cour of season 2 built very important friendships that help Rudy tremendously in the future. Second cour has awesome action and tragedy, rescues and loss.
I'm suprised that you were underwhelmed by the Nanahoshi and Norn episodes. For me (final arc excepted) they were the most impactful and emotional of the series. Just goes to show that people have different takeaways from a show like this. Love your enthusiasm about the series overall though
they included all the boring slice of life stuff that is the authors weak point and not the parts about eris training like a mad woman in the sword sanctum which will introduce two tertiary characters and 3 antagonists of season 3. yeah great choise guys totally nailed it.
Content in season 3 is very dense, and there's a bunch of comedy/slice of life stuff. I hope they cut some of them off except his reconciliation with sara.
Maybe they'll do an ova like for the Eris Goblinslayer arc for her training montage. Which will fill in why there was that one woman showing up to challenge Rudy when Badigadi showed up.

great review. love mushoku
In the light novels the trip to Rapan takes half a book. so yeah, they cut a lot.
Elinalise best grandma/bro
I know the final arc is the main focus of the season, but the Nanahoshi and Norn mini-arcs are just as good in my opinion.
Season 3 is when the story really begins 😇
Nah, all parts of the story are vital to Rudy's change and growth.

I love the sol parts and the eris parts have generally been treated like side stories at the end of a volume so ova maybe
