What does /a/ think of Welcome to the N.H.K.?
Masterpiece.
>>143142737
Underrated gem.
Pretty obscure though, doubt any anons have seen it.
"Everything looks and works better in 2D: the Anime"
>>143142737
Anime > Light Novel > Manga
The anime does a lot more than the light novel covers, so even though the light novel does better with it covers, being the source and all, it simply isn't enough. The manga just goes completely silly by the end. Each of the three versions are essentially their own works, as they don't have that much in common, even though the writer for all three was the same.
"why is there nothing else like this?"
>>143142842
>Pretty obscure though, doubt any anons have seen it.
I bet you think anything that isn't from this decade is "obscure." Just kidding, anything not within the last year. Then again, maybe anything not currently airing is to you.
>>143142842
No?
>>143143174
I preferred the novel, but all iterations are enjoyable. I wish there were more like it, yes there are shows with NEETs but they all become social butterflies after the first episode.
>>143143216
You are confusing NEET with hikikomori.
It was ok. Having never been a NEET, I found Sato to be an idiot most of the time; I couldn't stand his self-sabotaging tendencies after he had the gall to appear smart for a moment.
It is also fucking sad that people want a Mikasa or something like her. I guess I am not pathetic enough to relate. Which is probably going to lose me some sekrit club ponts
I've only seen the anime, but it was alright.

>not having self-sabotaging tendencies
>implying being on 4chan isn't a self-sabotaging tendency.

Real good book. Less good anime and manga. Still decent, though.
Love the opening.
the pyramid scheme arc made me furious at their own ineptitude.
Very good show except for that part with the pyramid scheme. Not just the budget going to zero but the overall arc was horrible.
Everything else was very well done.
story of my life. on first watch I really into Satou. 2nd time around the other characters, especially Hitomi, got me.
>>143143702
So much
>holy shit this is a scheme!
>no no, it isn't I swear
>alrighty, well that's that I guess, I guess we should also buy large boxes of worthless product while we're at it :D
Just, holy shit. Why?
Plus that other teenage NEET being a worthless shit but having read all those self help books made it very hard to accept his bullshit.
Watched, got depressed, got to rethinking life...
And years later I'm still in the same exact situation.
>>143143934
Just gave up.
>No kiss between Sato and Misaki
What the hell man?
>>143143371
I am not socially-stunted or otherwise. Don't buy into the whole waifuism thing (2D>3D). Maybe my taste suffers a bit because I know how contrived and trope-filled anime is; essentially, what was once niche is now the norm. But I have nonetheless, don't you?
>>143144137
>have fun nonetheless
>>143143174
What happens at the end of the manga?
If we ignore the pyramid scheme arc, it was pretty good.
It's not a perfect representation of a robot NEET since Satou isn't a virgin by the start of the series. Still at least a 7/10 though.
Also
>leaves his house regularly
>"""""""""""hikikomori""""""""""
>>143142737
Really hits home with me
>>143144591He moves back in with his parents, his mother catches him masturbating, he runs off to an abandoned building that is being destroyed and is there with Misaki. They profess their love for each and escape the building while it is being destroyed. He returns to parents, stops being a NEET and becomes a regular guy in a regular job. Misaki magically resolves all of her problems and graduates from high school. They pledge themselves to each other to be together forever. Happy End.
>>143142842
Anon you can b8 harder. I'm disappointed in you.
>>143142737
I think it's really amusing that the author wrote that it's semi-autobiographical.
>>143144688
I'm pretty sure it starts with him leaving his house for the first time in ages, doesn't it? Either way, fuck off with your """"""""" and robot bullshit.
>>143143293
Fuck off, Chad.

Tomoko one friend just like Misaki.

You're trying to appear smart just like Sato. You have more in common with him then you realize.

Stick a goat head up your ass and fuck off to >>>/out/
i liked it. i could relate to Satou to an extend but, there were times Satou was so dumb or delusional it became cringy and hard to watch. you have to be a special kind of retard to be like satou.Mikasa was a real cunt in the end but, i forgave her.
9/10 anime about anonsno 10/10 because he got friends and went from home
>>143143934
just accept you fate and become a wage slav.
>>143144268
now that part i can relate too. i want to leave my safe space but im to afraid for all the unknowns.
>>143146216
It's not that I don't want to. It's that you can't have even that in my area. Or pretty much anywhere else in my country.
>>143146346
where you from?
>>143142737
I just finished the novel not too long ago. It was decent, but I think the show did it better
>>143146216
>Wage slav
Is it like being a wage slave but more drunk?
Posting best girl
It was my favorite anime and I loved is at a non neet with a job.
>Now no more comfy job
>NEET for 2 years
>Have to redo a year of HS to get enough grades for college
Can't watch this show anymore without feeling like shit.
>>143146858
Therefore more fun!
>>143142737
I wish the novel had more of the senpai girl, Ibet she was super hot in the anime and I've loved a few students older than me, so I could relate. Fucking sucks having someone you greatly respect and care for graduate and go to college, leaving you alone.
>>143142737
It was great. Misaki surprised me due to how fucked up she was.
Anyone got that ost for when he tried to punch her?
I enjoyed the realistic ending.All his friends leave. He has to work a shitty job he hates. His GF is a fucking plain nutjob.
>>143144143
This is very true

You're a newfag, one of the worst at that.

I don't indulge in projecting myself unto anime characters, and I have never watched Meme Note.
>>143142842
Most people on /a/ know about it, but you're not too far off the mark considering it's fucking impossible to find good subs or rips for it anywhere. They've like dropped off the face of the earth

Why are you here exactly?

I've never seen anyone try to appear this cool while appearing completely retarded than this person in my entire life
>>143149208
Good, now newfags like OP will never get to see it so they can try to 'fit in'. I have it and i'll never seed it either so go fuck yourself OP.
Literally scared me into finding a job
>>143149218
To laugh.
>>143149081
Everyone too pussfi now to watch both Welcome to the N.H.K and watamote.
I've only read the manga. Hearing that all three versions are different in their own ways makes me want to get at them all.
A great show that made me laugh, cry, and everything else.
It also helped me realize my paranoia and self-sabotaging tendencies

Thought it would help improve me but it's only edged me closer to killing myself
>>143149430
You'll realize you're wasting your time when you realize that spending your life laughing at other people pretty much makes you lower than them.
>>143142737
Why don't you already know what /a/ thinks of NHK?
Oh right.

he could have banged dat ass but he didnt
>>143149706
I don't always laugh at others. Schadenfreude doesn't make me laugh, so much as make me happy (again, this is not exclusive to 4chan; I don't even know you people).
>>143142737
It's shit, after about four to five episodes I finally dropped it.
>>143145798
I think it's really sad that the novel's first afterword says "it's semi-autobiographical but now I'm gonna do my best" and the second says "it's been several years and I'm still a damn NEET"
>>143142737
Its something that would never get made nowadays cause its not exactly flattering and patronizing in how it treats the whole NEET thing.

I'm in love with Misaki-chan!
I want her to denigrate me! I want her to step on my dick, while she calls me a virgin NEET loser!
>>143152165
That song has helped me through a lot of times, surprisingly.
>>143152751
Misaki is too pure to do this.
>>143153559
She enjoys looking down on other people who she sees as more worthless than her. She gets off to it.
>>143152184
You're so smart, unique, and special. I love you.
Has there ever been any other work, from any medium, with a moral of "life fucking sucks so eek out small happinesses in any way you can, even if it's destructive"?
>>143155462
At one point in my life, it was terrifyingly relatable
Wish fulfillment for pathetic failed incel normalshits.
>>143155462
Barring the "destructive" part, Ecclesiastes.
what the fuck man who took all the songs off youtube. any other way to get the soundtrack?
>>143155462
ask/lit/
Seriously.
>>143143775
how having him read self-help books is relevant?
Those books are useless.
My favorite OST.
i i tought i would identify with the main character
but most of the things that hapenned to him never hapenned to me or i just got over them easily
then the second half kinda went to shit, but maybe it's just my imagination because i wanted the main character to end up with the senpai
in the end i ended up relating more to misaki, maybe i just need to find someone worse than me so i can be useful
anyways the ost is great i can't think of anything better than it
