Beginning of the first episode made me wait a long time before I eventually decided to watch. And it was a big mistake to let it wait so long! When I finally got through first 5 minutes I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen. And then, I can’t say there was even one weak episode. If it wasn’t because of download speed I would have watched the whole series within 2 or 3 days.
The story is a very original one, as well as painfully real. The main character is z hikikomori but when suddenly he meets his old friends he’s starting to change. The main problem Welcome to the NHK! talks about is loneliness. All the characters live in Tokyo and despite all the differences they trying to find the meaning of life. The plot and characters are well-developed.
The only weak part of this series may be art. It’s not bad but, at least for me, it isn’t great either. However is suits surprisingly perfect to the story. Voices (both Japanese and English) are amazing too.
What can I say more? For me it’s definitely the most worthy anime I’ve ever seen. I can call it here an almost perfect 10 :)
