While on the topic of alternate titles for the original long-a** title, I stumbled upon this r/animemes post (shout outs included below):

NGL, I loved the last one. Also doubles as a subtle seiyuu joke for Ai Kayano. And then there's the other comments like:

Personally, I'd go for Why the hell are you here, Mom!? because of the similar amounts of ecchi scenarios (and censoring).

EDIT: Page topper...

Anyways, catching up to Episode 2:

Masato and his mom gains some new companions and that's going to be a funny interview though. tongue And yeah, their adventure companions are a merchant named Porta and a sage named Wise (A little bit ironic due to her Tsundere attitude :3). Wise wants to join Mamako and co and wanted to become adopted by her. And yeah, Mamako continues to be cute and pure as ever :3 and their quest is defeating a slime... Okay. Also, some Mamako fanservice if everyone interested huehehehe

I wonder if Masato ever requests his mother to not go first in battle if it upsets him so much (I've only read a description of this series).

I find this anime hard to watch. Like, I'm pretty sure this is not what they intended, but I can't shake the impression that I'm watching a story of an immature and overly attached mother constantly gaslighting and guilt-tripping her son because she can't deal with the fact that he's growing up.

I've read the light novels. Mamako is so stupid and ignorant of her son's feelings that it honestly makes more sense if you assume she a massive troll who knows exactly what she's doing.

[up][up] I've both watched two episodes....eeeeehhhh.

Kinda sorta; the basic premise is that the MC's mom just wants to spend time with him, but he pushes her away. It doesn't come off that way to me at least

It's just that, every time he tells her off she just starts crying until he feels guilty and apologises. It comes off as extremely manipulative.

Like I said, YMMV and depends on who you sympathize with more.

On another note...I surprisingly like Wise. And I'm usually not one for Tsundere.

I can see where you're coming from, but I got the impression from the novel that we're supposed to side with Mamako and this entire series was written by the Light Novel Author equivalent of Abraham Simpson.

Apparently, the reason why Mamako has such high stats is because the game is designed in a way that the children relly on their mothers.

Kind of a Broken Aesop in my opinion, since growing up means standing on your two feet and not everyone has a mother like Mamako, whose worst sin is seeing her son as still being ten. I have not read the light novel, but I wonder if there are other players who take the Self-Imposed Challenge of going around the world without their mothers around them, I think Masato and co would be thrilled while Mamako would not understand why would the teens want to go alone and put themselves in danger.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

You know what can make this series into a full-blown trash?

Make Mamako a mother...not related by blood. evil grin

If this show goes that far, I'm pretty sure it won't get lower than that. [lol]

Hopefully the series is moving towards Masato surpassing his Mother, which can be symbolic of him forging his own path. It'd be great for both characters for Mamako to just let him live his life.

From what I've read of the books, the idea is that (disappointingly, in my opinion) Masato will live with his mother being OP.

However, he has made very little progress in that area after three books. All that's happened is that he's gone from complaining out loud to complaining in his head. The fact that Mamako still has no idea he hates how he can never do anything in battle makes it all the more aggravating.

I should note, though, that only 3 of the so far 8 books have been translated.

Episode 3 was somewhat better… nothing as aggravating as The Scene from episode 2 at least. Wise seems to be a tsundere done right for the most part (that aversion of the "punched out of the bath" trope cracked me up) and Mamako shows a little more maturity this time around.

…Yeah, she does have a manipulative side, doesn't she.

Also, is this a universe where moms cease to age after 25?

[up][up][up][up] That...sends a really unhealthy message when you think about it.

It's still a less atrocious lesson that the one the first book ended on.

"Even if your mom is emotionally abusive, you should still forgive her because blood is thicker than water."

It's probably relevant that filial piety is huge in Japan (and Asia at large IIRC). Had this been penned by American writers, the show very well may have been about learning to let your kid leave the nest. Would hardly be the first story of its type.
