| I was gunna say this episode was sort of lame but that ending made me die of laughter so fk dat! >:D |
 |
| HILARIOUS, Satou is such an idiot! |

Arcanus said: His stupidity never ceases to amaze me xD 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. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Can't believe he still fell for it. The guy really needs some help. |
Derpyderp said: He is such an idiot. He really hasn't developed characterwise at all ><. I really feel like slapping him in the face it this point. I have been facepalming this entire episode. 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. Zepwich said: But it needs moar Yamazaki! |
 |
| 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! |
| Another crazy person joins the cast, they did a good job with making the characters feel real, a sister feeding her hikikkomori brother is actually a thing that happens over there |
 |
| Lol he runs first away but gets sucked in the end anyway what a retard :p |
 |
| Whenever I feel like he developed a little he falls back to being a fool... 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. |
 |
| ugh... he saw through it but he still fell for that trick? whatever, this is starting to get boring imo |
 |
HydraA said: Wow. He actually fell for it. But hey, Im not really surprised, he almost committed suicide before just because someone told him to, so why not this as well? Yea. i really hate him now he gets worse and worse every episode. He knew the scheme and told her but in the end he still did it . what the fuck? How easy is it to control him geez... |
 |
| 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. |
| "What color do you want to be?" -Shiina Mashiro |
| lol conneting the dots by Sato was nice. |
| 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. |
| in the beginning of this episode I was thinking if megumi is such a fine person.. but in the end -_- oh bro.. she is wrong in many ways.. -_- she is terrible.. and sato in the end he is still stupid haa~~ |
| Misaki always get treated like trash... *sigh* |
| You're all idiots, but I'm no different. |
| Satou........ baka .___. btw, I'd like more conversations between Yamazaki and Misaki :D |
| 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. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| I wanted to dropkick the tv in this episode, Satou is such an idiot, it's really hard to empathize with him anymore now. |

| LOL Satou. He gets himself mixed into so many things xD Wow he is really stupid to have fallen for her provocation |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| 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. |
| I detest this Megumi girl. |
| Come on now Sato, use your head for once. The place Sato went to was so suspicious. Sato fell for the scheme, and the whole sad story that the Rep told him. |
 |
| lmao he really is an idiot omg howwwwwwwwwwww RAGE |
 |
| Are you fucking kidding me? How is he such a fucking chump? I just lost so much love for Sato. This is irrecoverable |
| 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. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| THIS IS ONE SUCKER YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SUCK. Welp, that lasted about 5 minutes. Satou truly has the worst luck imaginable to be constantly swindled into all of these ridiculous schemes rofl. |

| Whenever you make a stupid decision in the future, just rewatch Welcome to the NHK. Sato, you dumbass. |
 |
| "WELL THIS IS ONE SUCKER YOU'RE NOT GONNA SUCK She sucked me in, didn't she?" Okaeri Satou. |

| Officially the most stupid sentient creature in the known universe. |

| Damn, he realized the truth behind her scheme and fell back into it. I gotta give it to this show for making me feel depressed watching him struggle to fight against his hikikomori faze. |
 |
| satou you dumbfuck lol, i kinda feel for him though, ive almost been roped into one of those, disguised as an internship lol |
| Kinda stupid how Satou figured out the whole thing right away and still fell for it xD He seems more schizo than hikikomori sometimes with that conspiracy stuff lol |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Yeah him falling for that after KNOWING what it is makes literally no sense at all. |
