Mushoku Tensei, or Jobless Reincarnation is an Isekai anime that tells the story of an unemployed man in his 30s who dies and is reincarnated in a fantasy world with a unique magic system while retaining all memories of his previous life. The anime follows him in his new life as a child named Rudeus, determined to use the lessons his past life taught him and live without regrets.
The anime is based on a light novel of the same name by Rifujin na Magonote and is distributed by the new Studio Bind. With amazing visuals and an interesting premise, Mushoku Tensei is already looking like an impressive first work.

Mushoku Tensei Episode 4 Recap
Episode 4, appropriately titled "Emergency Family Meeting," upsets Rudy's idealized world, introducing some serious family drama: Rudy's mother, Zenith, reveals she's pregnant to her second child. The occasion would have been a happy one for the Greyrat family… if Lilia, who works as a maid for the family was not also pregnant by Rudy's father, Paul.
Naturally, Zenith wants to send Lilia away even if this is dangerous for her and the baby, but Rudy – who is determined to do some good in his new life – saves her. There's some conflict between Rudy and Paul, as the latter – not knowing his son is mentally an adult man – feels hurt that his son doesn't need him. The women give birth to one girl each. Rudy is entrusted to a new caretaker, Ghislayne, as his parents think this will be good for his development.
