Welcome to the N.H.K.

First, let me say that I saw this entire show in a period of 3 days. So, that in itself says something about how enjoyable it was. If I wasn't having a good time watching it, then I wouldn't have bothered doing 12 episodes in one day. :) The story is pretty well done. It basically traverses through Satou's rough life as a hikikomori and his various means to combat it. There are a few episodes that I had issues with, as they were quite "okay...this is really cheesy". But, overall, the episodes went well with the life of someone who is afraid to go outside or be in large crowds. Animation is top notch. Absolutely no qualms with anything in this department. The music was probably the best part about this show. Great opening and decent ending. The background music and "main theme" were awesome too. I'm pretty sure I'll end up grabbing the soundtrack for this series. Very catchy tunes. The characters...were well explained I think. There were a lot of gaps in my opinion though as quite a few things are left out in the open throughout the show. We don't learn much of anything in detail about the cast either. We learn plenty about Satou and such, but I think they could have done better with "reasons" and stuff like that. 2nd thing I loved about this show was the comedy. Freakin' hilarious scenes everywhere. Satou and Yamakazi are great together and will have you rolling on the floor laughing countless times. The jokes are original and none of that lame crap that "younger audience" anime titles might throw at you. Overall, very good series. The ending was well done too (though it left me wanting a bit). Pick this up, you'll have fun with it.

That final scene hits harder than expected. Satou running to find Misaki actually feels sincere for once.

The park meeting in winter feels fragile. It is like both of them are scared the moment it will disappear.

Hitomi showing up again at night feels almost dreamlike, like Satou can not fully move on from the past.

That finished game copy scene hurts quietly. It feels like the end of a strange little era.

Yamazaki getting that phone call feels like reality is finally catching up to him.

Those stacked product boxes make the whole scam feel depressing instead of ridiculous.

Megumi’s apartment reveal completely changes the mood, and suddenly everyone just looks tired instead of angry.

Satou hiding under that cap during the cafe talk says more than his actual words.

The MMO episodes are chaotic but weirdly believable if you have ever escaped into games too hard.

Satou’s gaming breakdown gets so intense it almost stops being funny completely.

That beach confrontation at night feels cold emotionally, not just visually.
