The secret to Mallow Trading Company's big profits is: ¨Business is conducted for someone's happiness¨. Whether if that happiness includes the viewers', I am not entirely sure.
Around 40 Otoko no Isekai is the story of Kenichi, a middle aged reincarnated corporate worker that wishes for nothing but a slow, easy life in this new world. However, in spite of his wishes and due to his singular ability to spawn things off Amazon, the world always has something brewing to prevent it from happening.
If you are able to look past the Powerpoint slideshow animation style, you will likely find an enjoyable isekai for the first half
...
of the show, in which Kenichi prioritizes survival strategy and adaptation. Unfortunately, this aspect later on falls off as the main character gets dragged into more tropey scenarios and the shift focuses onto half-baked cooking recipes to impress the main character's harem (or squatters, the way I see them).
In my opinion, if you suspend your disbelief, it can be quite enjoyable to watch Kenichi prioritize his personal philosophy and middle-agedness, giving this show a fresh spin away from your standard out of the box cookie cutter isekai show. But rather than a magnum opus that will take on your full attention, I would instead consider this a rather fun show that can surprise you and make you chuckle over the nonchalant attitude of most characters. Simply something fun to watch on the side while performing other tasks.
