It's not often a protagonist actually gets into a relationship during a show's run. Usually that happens basically as the credits roll. For that reason alone this show is a step above.
But it's kind of ruined when the protagonist also has a harem and is overall kind of a shitbag.

It's actually a lot more common now that it used to be. Perhaps this is selection bias, but the majority of the romance anime I've seen these past few years feature a relationship that starts either at the beginning of the show's run or right in the middle (my personal favorite time for things to get real).
and a pedo?
Did the show ever get less "weird?" I remember watching a bit of S1, I dont remember if I finished it or not. And I remember liking it. Except when they would go out of their way to occasionally remind me that Rudeus is actually a 40 year old dude. I just felt so disconnected from the show every time they did that, it jept taking me out of the suspension of disbelief. Did they ever change that? Or should I try to pick the show up again?
I think the show is pretty solid. It does a good job of showing him being beaten down by trauma and how the experiences of his past life shapes his current thinking and how he approaches certain situations and how he eventually overcomes them with the help of others.
A lot of isekais just have the characters reincarnated and then they just forget their past lives and move on. I think Jobless does a good job of reminding you that this is his second chance.
Nah, if anything you'll get more of his original round appearance in the mindscape bits (because that's how he still views himself, despite moving to a new body). You can also look forward to erectile dysfunction being a serious plot point.
The erectile dysfunctionining arc was really weird.
pick it up. it gets less weird because he gets older, just keep in mind that although he's technically in his 40s, he's socially mature enough to be a teen, so it all kinda equals out.
my favorite part of the whole story is watching him go from "I know more than these assholes" to "I have no idea wtf I'm doing, why did I do that?!"
highly recommend the series, however you should probably avoid the manga as one of the chapters has been banned in the US for "stuff".
He’s 34 man. That ain’t 40. Not yet at least
He originally died at 34, so when he was 6yo as Rudy he was 40 in his head
it's been awhile since I rewatched it. my 52 year old senile brain just can't keep up anymore.
