NHK ni Youkoso! (Welcome to the N.H.K.)

Twenty-two-year-old college dropout Tatsuhiro Satou has been a hikikomori for almost four years now. In his isolation, he has come to believe in many obscure conspiracy theories, but there is one in particular which he holds unshakable faith in: the theory that the evil conspirator behind his shut-in NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) status is the Nihon Hikikomori Kyokai (NHK)—an evil and secret organization dedicated to fostering the spread of hikikomori culture.

NHK ni Youkoso! is a psychological dramedy that follows Tatsuhiro as he strives to escape from the NHK's wicked machinations and the disease of self-wrought isolation, while struggling to even just leave his apartment and find a job. His unexpected encounter with the mysterious Misaki Nakahara might signal a reversal of fortune for Tatsuhiro, but with this meeting comes the inevitable cost of having to face his greatest fear—society.

NHK ni Youkoso! is undeniably among the finest anime series I've ever experienced. If you're hesitating to give it a shot, don't. This show seamlessly blends humor and intrigue, capturing a rollercoaster of emotions that had me hooked from start to finish. The narrative delves into profound themes with an engaging touch, weaving a compelling story that's both thought-provoking and entertaining.

The anime doesn't just scratch the surface; it navigates through a myriad of emotions and serious subjects with finesse. I found myself so engrossed that I binge-watched all the episodes without a pause – a testament to its gripping narrative and compelling character development.

Well-written

This is the most overestimated anime that i ever seen, the score 8 is simply a collective delirium, the anime have some good point, but this wont make a good anime, i will enumerate in three lists

Good points;
the soundtrack are really good

yes, are just this, i am thinking about for 10 minutes and i dont get any other good point

razoable points;
caracters: some of them are really good like yamazaki, he is a human that definily exist in some place in the world, some of them are strange to think about like misaki, but the satou is simply the devil, and i am not talking ...
