Underestimate not, the persuasive power of a woman's tears.
Interesting how they've moved from specific problems of youth such as suicides, gaming addictions, and loans; to a more "corruption of society" sort of message.

Anyone else finding themselves tapping their fingers to the beat of the opening song?

I was thinking he wouldn't be that stupid, but...
The preview got me: "Welcome to No Future!" Seriously? This series is such a big troll.

Well, except for the backsliding, of course. Poor Satou is so easily influenced by the last person he's spoken to. :(

I can't believe Yamazaki and Misaki got drawn in, too, though. That was the first thing to make me laugh this entire arc.

I can't believe there's filler arcs like this (and Suicide Arc) in a 24-episode series. That just shouldn't happen and it's easily taken the series from a 9, down to a 7 or an 8 at most.

Too bad, it was such a great series at one point!

Kobayashi is a bitch. But I still hate Hitomi more. At least Kobayashi tries to help her brother even though it's in a bad way.

I am really loving this anime. However I am getting pissed that Sato sees that Misaki must have been abused at some point in her life and he doesn't give a shit or too dumb to put it together. I get a feeling I know how this will all end and I am not sure how I will feel about it.

Just when you think it can't get any worse for Satou.

It gets worse.

Also, I like how Yamazaki is voiced by Shinpachi's (Gintama) actor, and the characters look alike.

I kind of wish they didn't go this route. I know they're trying to show how he just goes with the flow and starts to believe others immediately (take the suicide arc for another example) but the fact that he figured it out before and still did it is kind of annoying. I hope they can make something good come out of this.

I haven't mentioned it yet but I really like this second ED.

That evil bitch! She trapped him good. Using his weakness to make him kneel, these guys are good talkers.

At first, I was like ''ahh, he was smart enough to not get trap'' and then... -.-

Pyramidal scheme are the worst. They act like guru.

It's sad that that girl got so low that she have to manipulate even her old acquaintance...

This episode really smacked me upside the head but good.. 11:50 into the episode is right out of my life in 1972! They even did the same product demonstration that my direct distributor in Amway taught me to do--the one with mixing 'our' detergent in water and 'the competition's' detergent.. It was Amway vs. Shacklee, all over again! The writers must have been living in the US and been involved in Amway at one point in their lives. So incredible that I'd see this--the LAST thing I'd expect to see in an anime series!!

For anyone that's been involved or got sucked into an MLM pyramid scheme by a friend or co-worker, this episode 'speaks' to you. In the beginning, I found it hard to watch this series, but it's gotten so clever with so many aspects. The humor is bizarro world, but it does have its moments of profound meaning.

And what's up with that Misaki? WHO the heck IS she?? Talk about an enigma! I'm starting to think she suffers some weird psychological problems and her "sessions" are her way of projecting her own problems onto someone else. What a shame, because it's starting to look like she really cares for Sato. I sense a troubling relationship brewing here.

For me, this is a series I want to hate, but I end up having to admit it's pretty darned good. Anime is alive and well in the 21st Century.

This guy really is pathetic. Being so easily manipulated by everyone and treating people who want to help you like trash. This will probably end well seeing what kind of show this is but if he was a real person i don't think there would be any hope for him. The imaginated future of his from the episode before would be most probable. It's not about being unemployed and doing absolutely nothing, it's about not dreaming about anything and being so blind as not to grab the helping hand that has been reached out for you.

I'm on my second watching of this series and I'm noticing a lot that I missed on the first go -round. What's becoming apparent is that Misaki is a decent, compassionate person and Sato is so wrapped up in his conspiracy theories that he can't or won't trust her, on top of the fact that he defers to his school buddy next door for 'truth' opinions. Pathetic. Misaki is amazing. When he presents her with a situation she's not knowledgeable on, she goes to a book store, buys the related books, goes home and spends the evening studying to topic so that she can render useful advise to him the next day. She brings him nutritious meals, cares about him, does many things that demonstrate that she's not the evil one, but yet he's too dense to get it.

I used to think he should hook up with his sempai, Hitomi, but she's too negative and she's a junkie, as evidenced by her multiple doctors and prescription psychotropic drugs that she uses. But Misaki would make the better life partner. Sato's not a bad person either. He's just too paranoid to know how to see the reality of his situation. We can see from time to time, that he's concerned about other people and does not lack empathy. Certainly what he did at the Off Meeting stands in his favor. He needs to start realizing that there is a lady who cares about him, genuinely and to respond to that with a little more trust. Gosh, what a nice person Misaki is! She may be blunt at times, but her heart is in the right place.

The problem with Satou is that he falls for anything that could improve his life, which is pretty much anything people tell him, since he's so easily persuaded.

Weill it's not really a matter of smart or stupid..
Satou knew about it.. but still fell for it because he was mentally unstable.
The frustrating thing for me is how all of his acquaintances have stone for a heart.
Everyone is just using his condition against him.. how sad.

Been liking the second half of this anime so far. Instead of just focusing on Satou's hikikomori NEET lifestyle, the anime now introduces many of the first-world societal problems which plaque nations, using Satou's gullibility as a device to indirectly warn us the dangers of modern societies. Precisely because Satou's a hikikomori, he is weak against all sorts of dangers out there, and now he suffers as we learn the lessons. Let's see what the next episode has in store of us. Regarding psychology, Kobayashi-inchou's reverse psych against Satou was a joke. Guess conspiracies made him mad, after all.
Is it just me...or this is a 'satire-less' Zetsubou sensei? All the more better.
