NHK ni Youkoso! Episode 1 Discussion

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seems like a fun animé, and I just love that pururin song, I'm gonna download it too and then play it for my neighbors every day! :P

A strong start. Good music, animation, storyline.

Only disappointment was the teen love interest. Always a teen. Boring.

I'm confused about one thing. Why does he think she's a nun?

Because her Auntie is part of the Religious group and the first time he saw her is when she and her Auntie are doing Religious group tasks which is handling the pamphlets.
So makes him think that she is actually part of the Religious group such as nuns and priests.

Definitely very interesting

Just started watching. I hadn't expected to like it, but I was blown away by the first episode. Should be a possible ten.

nice episode

Very interesting. The beginning was a bit delusional and I didn't really get it, but after that it got more serious and I was blown away. =)

great start ! this really looks like a fun anime to watch xD

Was really good, I just love it when theres good music, and the animation was really good aswell. Not sure where this conspiracy story is going, but it seems interesting. 5/5

The ED.. what the hell :D

A very good start. I like the animation and the storyline seems interesting. I had heard a lot about this anime and had high expectations from it; I'm happy that the first episode didn't disappoint me at all.

Quite liked it. I mean, really liked it :D

this is insaneee. and pretty deep actually. i mean it is an anime about someone who seems to be a schizophrenic...or along the lines of...giving me a headache :D

i really liked the first episode, animation and storyline are quite good ^^

This is surely a good start for an anime, it makes me wonder what will happen next. I'll look forward to the next episode.

The first episode is really big into the paranoia bit, we see a lot of it here. You really get thrown in, I was really impressed, you kind of don't know what to expect from there on out, but this gives us a good idea of who Satou is and what his life is about. I love the animation and the music so far, and meeting Misaki at the end...looks like some crazy stuff is in store for him.

This is true.

But still. This is so wonderful. It's so music driven it's like the first starting ep that I actually like in a really positive way. I'd thought this would be more depressing or something.

Even BECK isn't this music driven and that show is about music.

erm not bad but i didnt really liked the opening and ending lalala

I'm digging this anime already. The animation, colors, characters and music seems very good so far. Hahaha, he thought she was a "dirty slut".

Wow I just saw it today and I thought it was pretty sweet, very different from what I've seen and definitely funny yet creepy.

Believe me, gets even better.

Great series so far, from what I read on the novel, the plot is different, but so far it's interesting enough.

I keep having the feeling that this show is going to drag on, though. Because it seems Sato is already getting better in dealing with people(I'm on episode 9 btw). Looks like this could have been resolved in about 13-14 episodes.

But hey, I'll just have to see for myself.

Certainly a unique and funny show, even though the subject matter is dark and slightly depressing.

LOL. the ending song= WTF!

So this is what everyone at college was talking about
I can tell that this is gonna be good
and that ED is genius

Show's kicking ass so far.

Very good start. Great animation and a good anime to watch while strung out.

Definitely a pretty cool first episode, I really liked that song when he went in search for a job, walking down the stairs. So far looks interesting, although that ending theme is very random.

The ending song is so trippy! A good start as far as most animes go. I really like the main character too!

Lol this is awesome on so many levels, i hope it develops to be as great as im expecting it to

The strong side of this series is music! Puri-puring song is gorgeous, I really loved it. Also the opening, the ending and the guitar songs (when Sato is trying to get a job) are songs are worthy of respect.

I loved it. Love the Ed...I found the show to be realistic in some ways, with how he argued with himself and how he was paranoid, etc, or maybe i'm just weird. The story is refreshing and i love Sato. I can relate in some way. His late reaction was hilarious, when he broke the bottle. Can't wait for the next episode!

Well, everything is a conspiracy anyway xD
It seems to be an interesting and hilarious anime, good start. Definitely going to see next episode.

Suprised that there's such an anime out there o.o

also, I like how they describe the depressions and isolation of unemployed youngsters, there's so much truth in it.
Everyone is just bragging about money and wasting time, being lazy - but, as Satou said, if he could change his situation easily by praying, he would be much happier.
That's something most people seem to not understand...

On the other hand, it's kinda weird and silly, that blue thingy singing the ending reminded me of Otto Waalkes =) would be a lovely german voice actor xD

Nice start, lots of vocal background music too. The ending was really funny, not just by reading the translation. :P

1. The protagonist is not a moral retard: Check!
2. The protagonist drinks and smokes: Check!
3. The protagonist does not go to highschool: Check!

These facts alone, making it have the potential to be epic!

That is possibly the most abnormal ED I have ever heard.

Seems interesting. The animation seemed a bit inconsistent to me (messy as Misaki was walking towards Satou in the park), although that might have been the video file I was watching.

This is ingenious. This has already now a high chance for beeing a 10/10.

Pretty good so far. I'm interested to see how the protagonist is going to grow up.
That is, assuming there isn't actually a conspiracy. xD

Lol, I like this show already! Not that it relates to me....or anything... >.>

Finally, an anime about me. I like it already.

QFT! Definitely worth rewatching.

about you? I thought it was about me :S
and the ED is...i dont really know what to say...not catchy? but it wasnt bad neither :)
good first ep 5/5 :]

Great first episode, good change from all these vampire animes ive been watching xD

Not a bad first episode. But, WTF is that Grinch-looking thing in the ED???

DAT ED

wtf was this? i really dont know if i should drop it or keep on going, it looks too messed up....but still.

Is it bad that I saw myself in the MC?

It's very true!

I have a feeling the protagonist will go through lots of trials as he changes his ways...
