Really interesting and definitely hooked me. I got a good few laughs and it's the perfect amount of vague to where I don't know if he's insane or he's actually in a conspiracy. 2000s anime always has a certain charm in the animation and this show is no exception I love it.

This was a really good first episode, the main character is literally me except i'm able to go outside so i can understand why the people say this is a sigma anime.
this anime seems to be a enjoyable SoL but wacky for the MC thoughts, perfect for me :>

So far it is interesting.
I had friends that use to be Neets.
RN just one is a Neet.
but the rest actually stop living like a loser.

I think she's like "I can fix him".

What a fantastic start. Really looking forward to seeing how this progresses. I'm watching it subbed but I tried dubbed for a few minutes and I'm debating whether to switch to dub bc it seemed funnier.

On a serious note, is he a schizo? If he hasn't gone outside in 3 almost 4 years, how does he have beer and cigs?

Overall, I hate that some of this was relatable. The whole walking outside and thinking about how everyone is staring at you was a little too real. I mean, I know no one gives a fuck about me but still.
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"

I don't know why I decided to watch this... it feels a bit trippy... although I'm glad I watched it now because I can laugh at the jokes, if I had watched it a few years ago I might have been triggered lol.

One thing I'm curious about is, he's a NEET, right? He's a NEET, and he lives alone. So how does he buy cigarettes, alcohol and food for the day if he has no income?

Great first episode, gives a lot of thought into how some anti-social people are mainly reserved because they are obsessed with their thoughts.

Hikikomori. a.k.a. severe social withdrawal, a Japanese term used to refer to total withdrawal from society and seeking extreme degrees of social isolation and confinement. MC over here is the prime example of one as such ofc.

Going into this I thought the N.H.K part of the title was going to be referring to the Japanese channel, not the Japanese Hikikomori Association lol. Fine enough start for now. Btw, you can tell that author was a NEET himself, because only NEETs have to rehearse simple lines like asking for a job interview xD

Pretty great start in the introduction of our character, the inner dialogue is well executed and his rants about his life and him constantly switching up his statements felt pretty real as well as the preparation to execute basic conversation as a NEET

Weird and funny. I wish that this anime or these anime were when the main character is a loser and useless, and with this, he gets a girl (the love of his life ) without him doing anything worth mentioning. Btw, I love when the main character is an adult

What was bro about to do with the tissues 🤨😟
Schopenhauer was more pessimistic. He believed happiness was a fleeting illusion, dependent on desires that, once fulfilled, only lead to new ones. In The World as Will and Representation (1818), he writes:

“Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”

The episode sets the scene for me as a watcher and really does a good job at building suspense at the end. Sato really incapsulates the over-the-top, anti-social character and it seems that Misaki will be the foil. So far excited for what may come next episode! ^_^
