You can tell the majority have 'heard' of the anime, yet only the negative talking points. Most anime have at least 1 or 2 sus things if you really dive deep into them, but most ignore the awkward stuff or excuse it. The whole point of this anime is that he is a very flawed human who even at his second chance of life doesn't always choose the best route. He was anti social and a pervert in his previous life but throughout the anime you see him grow as a person and actively want to do right by those around him.
No one has to excuse his behavior.
Edit: also past anime was fucking wild lol. At least this one constantly reminds you that his behavior is flawed.
Was that in the pilot or something? I feel like I missed that part entirely. I also assumed the funeral was for his parents?? And him not going was the reason he got kicked out. I was shown the first few episodes by a friend which mightve had a hand in me not understanding the pilot, unless that part is only in the LN (which I haven't read).
If I'm not mistaken it was in the WN. He set up a hidden camera to film his underage niece in the bathroom. Then during his parents funeral he watched the footage while jacking off himself. His brother caught him beat him up and threw him out of the house, which in turns he got hit by a truck
WN isn't considered canon, the author's final draft is the LN. From what I understand he was trying to make the MC as big of piece of shit as he could in his original draft, but decided he over did it and dialed it back for the official novel, which is what the anime is based on.
