I'm digging this anime already. The animation, colors, characters and music seems very good so far. Hahaha, he thought she was a "dirty slut".

Wow I just saw it today and I thought it was pretty sweet, very different from what I've seen and definitely funny yet creepy.

Great series so far, from what I read on the novel, the plot is different, but so far it's interesting enough.

I keep having the feeling that this show is going to drag on, though. Because it seems Sato is already getting better in dealing with people(I'm on episode 9 btw). Looks like this could have been resolved in about 13-14 episodes.

But hey, I'll just have to see for myself.

Certainly a unique and funny show, even though the subject matter is dark and slightly depressing.

Definitely a pretty cool first episode, I really liked that song when he went in search for a job, walking down the stairs. So far looks interesting, although that ending theme is very random.

The strong side of this series is music! Puri-puring song is gorgeous, I really loved it. Also the opening, the ending and the guitar songs (when Sato is trying to get a job) are songs are worthy of respect.

I loved it. Love the Ed...I found the show to be realistic in some ways, with how he argued with himself and how he was paranoid, etc, or maybe i'm just weird. The story is refreshing and i love Sato. I can relate in some way. His late reaction was hilarious, when he broke the bottle. Can't wait for the next episode!

Suprised that there's such an anime out there o.o

also, I like how they describe the depressions and isolation of unemployed youngsters, there's so much truth in it.
Everyone is just bragging about money and wasting time, being lazy - but, as Satou said, if he could change his situation easily by praying, he would be much happier.
That's something most people seem to not understand...

On the other hand, it's kinda weird and silly, that blue thingy singing the ending reminded me of Otto Waalkes =) would be a lovely german voice actor xD

1. The protagonist is not a moral retard: Check!
2. The protagonist drinks and smokes: Check!
3. The protagonist does not go to highschool: Check!

These facts alone, making it have the potential to be epic!

That is possibly the most abnormal ED I have ever heard.

Seems interesting. The animation seemed a bit inconsistent to me (messy as Misaki was walking towards Satou in the park), although that might have been the video file I was watching.

I choked on my pizza roll when he started to fantasize about her. There's definitively a conspiracy going on.

@ Convolvolus, "ED" means "ending". The ending credits.

And this show does have a WTF ED.

The music is grand, intro especially, but the outro came out of nowhere. Jeez. And what's the deal with the purple thing? It's weird.
Haha, I'd go on about relating to this guy, but I sorta figure it's implied on here. Right?

He's convinced everything to his empty cans are conspiracies? And that he's a NEET or otaku or whatever because of one lady going door-to-door? I over-analyze just about everything and have yet to get as carried away as this guy. <3 He's exceptional.

I would personally thank my neighbor for blasting that anime opening every morning. I don't see the problem.

All these comments about the ending are true, though. What?
