What’s the deal with Mushokou Tensei?
It's an isekai, the protagonist was a gross thirty-something recluse before he died and he is reborn with his memory intact. He acts lecherous, but slowly changes. Funny thing about this show is that the main character overcomes his trauma and becomes a better person, but like what happened with Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer previously, they only focus on the small instances when something "gross" occurs.
 
What’s the deal with Mushokou Tensei?
Well I haven't watched it or read it so this is second hand, but...

It's a "isekai" series, a.k.a. a series where the protagonist is transported to another world in some fashion. Specifically it's of the "the protagonist dies in the real world and gets reincarnated in a fantasy world, swords, magic, etc. Those are a dime a dozen these days, so that's not particularly remarkable. What is remarkable is that it's older than people realize as it's one of the first popular isekai web novels, giving it an advantage after it got a proper publishing deal, got an anime deal etc. Higher expectations, so a bit more money and effort poured into it than it otherwise might have.

The catch that has some people loathing it is the part of the premise about what kind of person the protagonist is. The reasonable general idea apparently was that he was trash, and upon being reincarnated begins down the road of being a successful and decent person. The execution is much more questionable. Namely that he was a NEET with pedophilic tendencies whose relatives promptly evicted him after his parents died. He dies soon after when he pushes someone out of the way of a truck in an attempt to do something worthwhile with his life. Then gets reincarnated as a newborn in another world with his full memories of his previous life and mostly the same personality.

Some people are unable to get past that the author went as far as making him a pedo in his past life, or that he remains kind of pervy at the start of his new life. Even though those are apparently minor enough elements that the summaries you can casually find for the series don't bother mentioning it. Those same people also really hate that it seems to be more or less living up to its expectations.

Shield Hero you say? Oh yeah, she read the ENTIRE F**KING LN SERIES (I shit you not, the entire thing) just so she could write a hitpiece on AniFem themed around comparing it negatively to Twelve Kingdoms.

So this is the show that gave us Truck-kun.

The protagonist retaining his 30-year-old mind while trying to get into the pants of preteens will never stop being really fucking weird to me.

Ignoring that, the show is pretty damned good.

To bring this thread back to the topic of ANN,
Christopher Macdonald had to autistically explain to his Filipino staff members how they are holding up the California staff members because of Philippine Standard Time as opposed to Pacific Standard Time:
How would you like your boss to belittle you like this?
Going into that thread I thought it was a joke about Filipinos always being late (they are), but no, he's literally crying about time zone differences.

Why does this matter to him?
It's not like ANN ever has any noteworthy news come out in a timely manner.
Again, I remember people in forums laughing at how late they would post up certain announcements and the like.
This is just douchery right there, pure an simple.🙄

ANN is mainly composed of the kind of people who would be disappointed that he stopped being a pedo.
 
OH someone's really pushed Caitlin's buttons now

Unrelated to this, here's a real thing Caitlin said during the whole spergout over shonen winning Anime Awards:
Read as: Only my tastes in anime titles should ever ever win anything and everything.
Damn bitch, do you have the same mental age as the poor, poor children who have to put up with your hilariously closed minded ass...
 
And what tastes would those be?
Classic shojo series and shows about bishonen. Anything else she probably hates because it doesn't cater specifically to heterosexual women. I guess.

Although, here's her anime bingo (yes, I posted this on the thread before) if you want to see more:

You know what's funny?
Ranma 1/2 is on that list.
Now I like that show,(Urusei Yatsura is better though...😏)
But I would think that with the "highly copious amounts of fan service and highly toxic male behavior", she would have forsaken it.
Guess it gets a pass for being written by a woman?😏

I think a more accurate description would be anything targeted to Fujoshi, aka. anything that allows or includes lots of homosexual shipping, and a couple of Ghibli movies to prove quality control. (A little surprised Naussica didn't make the Bingo)

It's been gaining traction and popularity with trannies lately, so SJWs have decided to co-opt it. It might also be a remnant from her older weeby past, perhaps. Even before trannies showed their ugly mugs, Ranma 1/2 was extremely popular with weebs (shippers, mostly). You could toss a stone and it'll hit a Ranma 1/2 fic since that fandom actually takes up a sizeable fraction of all published fics, crossovers included.

Older otaku were totally into the series, and so it's possible if her weebdom goes back far enough that she was a legit fan.

Does Caitlin also take issue with Pokemon not being like real-life dogfighting or Mario being too unrealistic for real Italian plumbers?

Good thing I don't frequent a shitty website filled with hidden pockets of CP, sounds like what ANN and their orbiters do after they've virtuesignaled for the day. I applaud you for this.

I had the misfortune of coming across an e-journal (I don't know what site it was, so we're going web 1.0 terminology now) where a duo of former fujoshit chuckle cunts who dove hard for pop consuum shit reflected back to their 90s anime days and lamenting hard about "why were we in to this series in the first place." Seems a bit off topic, but these cumdumpsters no matter their variety are always the bane of actual fandom.

ANN's worst are oldfags in denial, and at the same time, are hipster contrarian egotists who will sell out for whatever will make them feel like they're "in the right" than act like real human beings. It also doesn't help that their lifetime of consuum has blinded them to the reality that, instead of actually doing something with their lives and accepting the world around them, they've been the so called "unwashed otaku shut in masses" that they've making fun of the entire time, by hiding out in the neverland of fandom spectatorship and only getting money out of it because of a lucky break by a canuck who managed to play the right hand, but still plays the winnings like shit. They know there's absolutely nothing that can help them but their own pathetic excuse of a publication and that this is their only way of being able to influence the anime industry, let alone make a living, instead of actually doing things of actual merit. And since the 2000s, might I add.

Caitlin in this case lives by the idea that whatever Americn anime fandom caught first in the 90s dictates what all anime no matter where should be the standard dictated by, no matter what horseshit excuse they regurgitate. That, and I doubt she knows of Takahashi's other works. If Caitlin read about them and how Takahashi also abides by traditional Japanese marriage rules alongside women's empowerment, she'd throw away her Ranma 1/2 collection in a heartbeat.
