NHK ni Youkoso!

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.

NHK ni ... Youkoso! is more than just an anime; it's an immersive journey that resonates long after the screen fades to black. Highly recommended for its depth, humor, and the skillful handling of complex themes.

Mixed Feelings

This review will only include my pov about the core of the story.
I don't think I'm an Otaku but I'm a fan of anime I did watch over 200 anime and a lot of movies I used to be a shut in but not completely as I remember,so if you're feeling down or something like that this might help you.
The review:
Most anime nowadays are kinda vague for an example 0 to hero kind of anime,yes it enjoyable to watch other succeeding in there life rather from a fantasy character or irl,but it's just an illusion an escape from the harsh reality we live in,so this ... anime(N.H.K)is different it shows you the truth of real life in an enjoyable way,it also explains a lot about the dark truth about life.
We All go through hard times and we suffer a lot and sometimes we think we get the hang of things,but we fall again just to realize how little did we knew,so what to do?! Should we just gave up?! Why should we even live at all?? The answer is very sample:don't give up that's it,if u don't gave up and you keep on trying things might get better or it might not,either way it doesn't matter just keep on living and while you're doing that try to search for something to keep holding on too.
This anime won't bs you with some vague hopes and dreams but it will helps you to keep hanging on life.

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 ... about the hikikomori he is, or the lack of social habilities, he is the worse people in the world, everyone are tryng do help him, but he cant take one corret decision about what to do, and it cannot be just "part of the anime proposition", he doesnt grow naturally and some other problems, like how deal with schizophrenia

the art; doesnt are bad, but its not a masterpiece or something like that

Bad points;

the story are really slow, and have like, 12 eps that just doesnt need to exist, this anime you can wacth in 3.0x speed without any problem, and just ignore 10 episodes, because nothing happen, and when happen its just a like piece of shit, the arc of island or the video game should be a joke, because they are really bad, and not make sense, the peoples that thinks that have a good stories are lying to yourself, because "cult people" think that a storie are good just for deal about complicaded topics

the MC i think that i spoke enough about him

and for last, the comedy is not comic
