Welcome to the NHK is a solid anime but not a masterpiece as many others on here have suggested.

The story follows a social awkward hikikamori, named Sato, who dropped out of college and shut himself in doors. Its very consistent at the beginning of the series with this characteristic but does get redundant and more of a joke then anything towards the end of the season. The rest of the cast is strong with in depth characters all with internal struggles which are beautifully illustrated throughout the series.

The show has many story arcs all of which take 2-4 episode to complete. There isn't much of a conclusion by the end of the story. The show just abruptly ends. It could have very easily ended at any point. Which definitely is not a bad thing but don't come into expecting some epic jaw dropping conclusion. Its a show that you can just pick up really at any point and watch a couple of episodes and have a fun time.

The enjoyment factor was really high at the beginning. But the story did become less exciting (and predictable) in the later half. And for this reason I had to bring the initial 9/10 score I would have given it, down to an 8. There was one emotionally intensive episode in the middle of the season that really brought the show to a climax which was WAY too soon.

Overall a solid 8/10 I had a blast watching it. Come in expecting laughter, sadness, and cringe worthiness. Because this series his all right out of the park.
