Wow, great first episode, so glad I finally started this :P LOVE the music. OP is quite catchy, ED made me go WTF lol XD
Really funny too. I'm looking forward to future episodes :O Would like to hope that the girl isn't his "love interest" though ... XD

i thought his illusions were hilarious, the story looks very promising as well, good animation for an anime as old as it is. the ED lyrics were very good as well.

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?

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?

Just from the opening song I could tell I was going to enjoy this anime. Its embarrassing to say how much I have in common with Satou even though im not really a NEET but I guess thats why I find this anime so appealing.
That ending song was so weird but so good.

Dope.

I'm with Beatnik here, excellent first episode. Deep, incisive, and funny: Nihon Hikikomori Kyoukai -- blew my mind.

I'm on a Gonzo streak, and they haven't disappoint so far. What is Misaki's project? Is it really a conspiracy?

I really hope this won't be full of weird shit like that blue thing and the talking furniture. Also, that ending is horrible, the OP was fine though.

Pretty weird episode, I find Tatsuhiro a bit annoying, though it's still early for me to judge him. I'm interested in Misaki on the other hand.

Well, I'll keep on watching, I hope it will get interesting.

Very interesting start if you ask me, already much story developed in this first episode and it started of quite good, a good amount of humor and unreal things!

Lets see how this will do in the end! Rating from this episode 8/10

In the manga he does actually use "legal" drugs he orders from online, they took that out of the anime though. I understand why they did, but it explains why he talks to his furniture and what not more clearly. In the manga he literally does drugs right before that part.

Wow, that first episode was perfect. For someone who have dealt with serious anxiety and depression in the past, I can understand the pain to only step outside of his home and feeling judged every second. Finding the most stupid reason just to exonerate ourself. I like the crazy atmosphere that emanates from his head. Fantasize about nun, that was so funny.

I wonder what that girl is up to and what is this ''project''. I guess it's some kind of project to introduce NEET in the society.

Man, that grand-ma really killed the moment :P

I really though the girl on his poster was the same, but it seem impossible.

The ED was so awesome, I was laughing my ass off xD

But great start, sometimes the backgrounds are weird, but after all I like this artwork.

This is the second time I'm watching this anime, and this time I read the novel before hand. I can now see how amazing this anime is. This first episode did an amazing job in establishing the setting and providing foreshadowing to what is to come. I would love to talk more about it but it full spoilers.

True enough.. this is quite a remarkable anime.
Looking forward to what lies ahead.. how good will this series be.
Also is it just me ? I think that girl is really cute.. even though she looks quite normal.
