    It's NEET, but it's not pretty...

    Is it wrong to escape when an entire culture seems devoted to escapism? The Japanese phenomenon of the 'NEET' male - the acronym means 'not in employment, education or training' - is explored here in an anime series with an unusually grim and uncompromising tone. The emphasis of the show is on the dark inner psychology of the main character, a typical porn- obsessed 'otaku' who lives in such denial of his 'NEET' status that he sees himself as a victim of a TV network conspiracy to keep him idle and home-bound, while he lies about having a home office business to anyone who asks what he does for a living. A neighbor of his is not fooled however, and seeks to 'rescue' him from his strange social-anxiety riddled existence. The twist is that his strategy for coming back to normalcy requires him to create porno computer games! What follows is not the usual boy-girl zany comedy or way-out fantasy typical of anime series and this may put off anime fans who are looking for more of the same. This is an anti-escapist drama devoted to recovery and re- assimilation into a culture that casts out the unproductive, which casts a harsh and unblinking light upon the world of its main character. His apartment is cramped and dark and littered, and his mind wanders off into unsavory fantasies about the people around him. He may be harmless and part of a growing sub-group, but he is not living a healthy or sane existence by any means and this series pulls no punches in its portrayal of this particular social phenomenon.

    awesome anime

    This anime was awesome. It deals with current cultural problems in japan. A disease were a person secludes themselves from society and locks themselves in. This leads them to not being able to talk to a stranger. While it centers around this, its also one of the funniest animes i've ever seen. Its the only one that's ever left me laughing so hard i'm gasping for air. Its so good i finished the whole series in 1 day. One thing i did not like was the ending, but i guess they cant do the same ending as the manga since they are not really similar. I will not write more since i don't want to give spoilers about it. If you're not satisfied with the ending, i suggest you go read the manga.

    Anyone who's ever had social anxiety needs to watch this

    The message of this anime, the feeling of being isolated rejected by the world and eventually coming out of that mindset is absolutely worth taking the time out of your day to watch.

    If you have ever struggled with anxiety or other social problems, this show will resonate with you.

    Wonderfully empathetic story

    Like 'A Silent Voice' this is, at root, a story about empathy which hits all the right spots. 'Welcome to the NHK!' has and excellent understated eclectic soundtrack and solid animation for its time. The themes it deals with are serious but a healthy dose of humour prevents it from becoming too much of a dismal affair.

    It can sometimes be difficult to find anime that resonates with one as an adult. It may take a while to get to that point, but this is definitely one of them. Highly recommended.

    Deep and Depressing

    This anime delves into the feeling of being alone, being depressed, being stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behavior with no one to assist you and no one to help you. But I also think it shows you how to get yourself out of such a state, out of depression out of confinement and how difficult it can be. It is a story that a lot of lonely people can relate to but also serves as an inspiring message. The main character Sato while being kind of a loser and someone to pity can allow for self reflection unlike any media I have ever experienced. I can't recommend this for someone who wants to understand depression or relate.

      Conspiracy Mascot: Ababa ababa ababa dancing baby human! When humans are born naked everyone is loved the same Why then is it that during our lives Our fates are divided in a most cruel way Some look people in the eyes, others are not seen, some know love, others don't If that's the case I would rather be a baby until I die - a baby human "Oh what a cute baby! He makes me want to love him!" -All according to plan!That went great!- The baby she hold is actually a baby human Behind that innocent face he is snickering inside You should be one too! It's nice and easy! Baby human Ababa ababa, dance, multiply, and then world domination! Conquer Russia, Canada, and India too They don't do what I say, even though I'm the king, she doesn't look at me, even though I am her lover Why is reality like this? Do we even need truth? I pretended to laugh it all away, but the day I was told that was impossible I decided I have no choice, but to be a baby until death - a baby human "Oh what a clever baby! He's going to be a big-shot when he grows up!" -Not reallyThis is just how I am- The baby she hold is surprisingly a baby human Hidden behind a red little outfit - it's camouflage! We don't have work or jobs, it's great! Baby human Ababa ababa, dance, multiply, planet earth will be ours! Conquer China, Europe, and Turkey too "Oh what a cute baby! He makes me want to love him!" -All according to plan!That went great!- The baby she hold is actually a baby human Behind that innocent face he is snickering inside You should be one too! It's nice and easy! Baby human Ababa ababa, dance, multiply, and we'll go into space! Colonize Mars, Saturn, and the Milky Way Dance, baby humans! Dance, baby humans!
