Thoughts on "welcome to the N.H.K"?
i want to kill myself

No you don't.
>>135999719
Good and with feels included.
>>135999719
I think you have never lurked ths board before and obnoxiously made a thread when you finished an anime /reddit9k/ recommended you
>>136000325
Watch out this guy right here is an anime badass.
>>135999719
OP here. If you're all wondering where's your misaki at, i got bad news. She's not just gonna knock your door some day and help you out. But she's out there somewhere. You just gotta find her. You never will if you just kill yourself tho.
>>136000542
That kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life.
Anyway NHK got me into watching anime. I like it a lot. Should read the novel someday.
>people who watched this show still idolize Misaki like she's a perfect goddess
I fucking hate weaboos. How do you miss the point so much? Anno was right.

There.
>>136000218
true, calm down everyone
>>136000624
You realize her entire deal was getting the MC to man up and start taking control of his own life, right? It would be unreasonable to expect to wait until someone else makes you get your shit together. The world is yours, go out and make you life how you want it to be.
>>135999868
we don't get cool deaths
>>136000624
Where's the cyberpolice when you need them?
>>136000624
Ehe that's pretty edgy man. I recommend you not to do that. If you don't want to be happy at least let others be. Right?
The offline-meeting arc ruined it.
It made me realize I'd never have my own Misaki so I got even more depressed than I already was.
>>136000764
I know it doesn't in a exact way. What i meant is that if you get your shit together and change your NEET ways you could find your perfect partner someday. It is possible.
>>136000787
I actually got the point alright. I don't idolize misaki but i like the character precisely because she isn't perfect. She flawed just like everyone else.
>>136001072
My god, this made me so sad. Poor nigger.
>>136001072
oh man
>>136000624
>>136001205
Save yourselves.
>>136001620
How?

>the best arc ruined it
>>135999719
Just so you know, Welcome to the NHK has been discussed to death here, so don't be surprised if you don't get too many responses.
That being said, I kind of miss the items that were omitted in the anime, even if they appeared minor. I felt like it really put it all into context.
>>135999868
>>136001789
>the items that were omitted in the anime
like?
>>136001072
Worst arc was the pyramid scheme shit. Sato and everyone are fucking retarded.
Didn't the author return to his hikikomori ways? Offline meeting with fans when?
>>136001452
that happened, snuck out when she wasn't looking
>>135999719
I started it. Was kind of prematurely excited because I thought it'd just be some neet shit, but it wasn't. A girl had to come into the picture way to soon, this fucking virgins ideals were wrapped up in impressing a FUCKING GIRL
FUCK THAT, THIS ISN'T WHY I WATCH ANIME, EVERY OTHER SHOW CAN BE ABOUT THAT BUT NOT THIS ONE
so I dropped it and give it a bad review when I can. My neet shows should be about neets, not a fake story that's truly about winning a girlfriend.
>>136001789
>Welcome to the NHK has been discussed to death here
Yeah, that's what i thought. Any kind of way i could see those threads now that moe archive is gone?
>I kind of miss the items that were omitted in the anime
Do you mean the drugs and such?

Wake up earlier, eat healthier, clean your living space, exercise (not necessarily work out but stuff like walking, etc.) find a creative outlet, learn a new skill, practice your current skills, read a book, improve your vocabulary, practice your speech. Anything that will take away your time. Ease into a new way of living.
When you're feeling comfortable with that, take on bigger challenges. Find people with common interests (not anonymous, someone you can actually get to know, near where you live), do volunteer work or a part-time job. You'll definitely meet some people you can get properly acquainted with.
Point is, try to be a productive member of society and more importantly, make yourself feel like you're productive. It will make you feel better and generally more pleasant.
>>136002194
/r9k/ has no effect on Japanese manga or business or anime created
>>136000542
Someone didn't even into the story.
Guys like us, don't get to have exciting lives or dramatic deaths.
We just get to live.

This is a fake meme that has literally zero consequences in real life. Nothing you can say or do will make your point any more correct. Stop being retarded or pretending to be retarded for some meme.
>>136002233
Easier said than done.
I'll try though.
>>136002284
>never really looked much into it, seemed to be that it was just too expensive to handle for the host.
what happened was that some fucker on r9k went on a rampage, people keep reposting the archived r9k link where he made his threat, reddit got their hands on it which put strain on the server but then major newsites started linking to it, completely overloading it.
>>135999719
good
>>136001072
the only bad arc was that multilayer advertising rat shit
>>136001985

autism of this level should make you unable to post, let alone construct a sentence

Fuck off yamazaki. It's not such a revolution to get your life back on track. >>136002233
It's just like this guy said.
>>136002233not bad ideas, but it's not easy either
living with chronic anxiety and depression is like being unable to sit still for more than a few minutes, and therefore unable to concentrate on anything that would help take your mind off how awful your life is and the constant thoughts of suicide

We've all been/are there, anon. It's hard to get through by yourself. Most of the time all we need is a good heart-to-heart with someone we love.
Though many of us have no loved ones, someone will eventually show up as long as you keep fighting. It will sometimes feel pointless and unrewarding but it's the way it works. It may take a long time, or it might only feel like a long time. If you are on the brink of escaping, if nothing else can keep you going, just think about how it would be if you found that one person you can rely on. How different things would be then. That will keep you fighting, it did for me.
>>136002233
>Find people with common interests
Sure and when they'll get to know you, they will leave you.It's impossible to meet best friend by deus ex machina and other people have their circles closed. I wish i could meet everyone from /a/ and know their story.

I was given the Japanese volume that came with this for my birthday last year.
>>136000735
You'd understand it more if you were like the main character. Which I sincerely doubt.
>>136002600
Fucking this. C'mon people stop being so pessimistic. The NHK has completely washed your brain to make you feel depressed. But it's not your fault. Its all aconspiracy

did you tell misaki-chan that you love her?

This.
As a hikikomori myself, it was like watching an anime about me.
I've done most of the shit Satou did in attempts to fix his life, and failed.

What always helped for me was to either really exhaust myself, to a level where I'm spilling sweat everywhere, then take a shower and then focus on something that's indulging and relaxing (but also new and informative!) or something that's, again, productive and informative but not too strenous on the brain or body. Something that makes your brain absorb new information.
The other way is just to take a nap. Sleep it away. You'll wake up either feeling a bit more motivated or feeling just as shitty or more as before.
If those aren't effective, try saving up money.
Want something you can't afford at the moment? Save up for it. Ration your supplies. It might sound a bit extreme but it shouldn't be too overboard. Try to cut down those bill prices.
Saving up gives you a feeling of purpose to what you're doing. When you finally save up enough, you might even have enough determination to keep on going (and of course continue rationing as well). Save up for something even bigger. That feeling of anticipation and soon-to-be indulgement will leave you hanging sometimes, but, again, it will make you feel like you have something to look forward to and make things a bit less painful.

I posted a link to a PDF above. If it's any consolation I missed out on getting the manga.
My gf bought the manga for £16, half of them were new and sealed. That was in 2015. Lucky shit.
>>136001854
I only recently got the novel its based on, but I believe he gets into drugs at one point as well. Theres probably a few other things too, but for the most prat I really liked this series.

Ebay.
I don't know how, the guy had no reserve and a bid's a bid. So he had to stump up.
It's thankfully faded into the background today, but, back in 2006-7, NHK was responsible for a lot of idiots on 4chan thinking that being a hikki was "cool," or that a hikki and a NEET were the same thing, or that you could be a hikki if you went to uni, worked at a part-time job, and did weeb things on the weekend at your house.
Although I realize that a lot of this is just the ignorance and stupidity of entry-level Japanese cartoon enthusiasts, it was still rather annoying.
>>136003623

I still see this around the Internet from time to time.

yeah yeah i get it. But it makes me curious about what you actually did to try to improve yout life, given that if it wasn't for misaki and yamazaki, satou would've never fixed anything.

Is the source up your ass?
>>136003684

People underestimate the power of working out. It helps with stress, depression, mood, etc. This isn't just about being more self-confident, your body at a chemical level will release endorphin after about 20 mins of exercise. In a nutshell Endorphin is a lot like morphine, it will make you feel better and lower pain sensitivity.
Anyways, I know it seems like an insurmountable task but you have to start somewhere. My advice, start small. Do some daily stretching, start cleaning up after yourself, Try exposing yourself to something new (break your routine/cocoon). I also recommend the book called "yoga sutras of pantajali" (its short), or any other good philosophy book
I've been slowly trying to climb out for the past 2 years and I can say I am seeing progress, I'm doing things now that I thought where impossible for me last year.
/a/nons saved me when I was in my own personal hell so I wish the best for you anons, it gets better.

I'm still amused by how badly some people miss the points of Welcome to the NHK's arcs.
>>135999719
I'm still around episode 3...
And I'm still laughing at the MC.
Will this be a bad thing..?

Amazing how dense people can be. The whole thing was meant to showcase what a hellhole being a NEET/hikkikomori is.

How do you know they will leave you? If they're someone you don't get along with well, then they'll leave, otherwise why would they? And for me, I had no idea where I would meet peoples off the net so I just started posting on a smaller forum and met someone else who browses /a/ also with no friends trying to find people to talk to, we best friends now after a couple years. Just think of places you'd go if you were really really desperate to meet people and maybe someone similar to you will also be really really desperate and looking in the same place. It does take time and shit though, but it's worth it long-run, at least it's practice socializing without the comfort of anonymity (if you've got anxiety problems like me this is a big one).
Pretty good, but the anime makes Misaki seem more angelic and perfect than the manga where her manipulation and general selfishness is much more prominent.
However, I don't like the blogposting that it inspires in threads like these. I'm a hikki wizard but that is not something to talk about on /a/
>>136004002
Yes, the mirror.
Just find one in your house and look at what you have become.

I really like it becauseI can relate to Misaki blaming herself for everything in her life, even things that likely weren't her fault, her pessimism and wanting to be surrounded by people more broken than herself

>NHK was responsible for a lot of idiots on 4chan thinking that being a hikki was "cool".
I wouldn't say that the anime is completely responsible for that. At no point being hakki is represented as something cool in the anime or manga. Satou was suffering while being a hikki. But yeah, people can be rather stupid i guess.
>>136004048
XD'd my friend
>>135999719
The whole "people like us don't get exciting lives" thing was proven wrong by the very fact that their lives were interesting and exciting enough to be made into an anime.
>>136004061
satou approved
would recommend
>>136004057
Yellow and black subs.
I still have my Oyasumi torrents somewhere.
Anime is way better than the manga. Going to read the novel, but probably won't like it seeing as books bore me to death.
>>136004151
Anything is interesting enough to be turned into anime. The SoL genre is proof of this.
>>136001256
Nope your partner in is only perfect until you get to know him/her then you realize is just as shifty as you if not worst and by the time you realize you already have kids that cant wait to get the fuck away from you, or even worst they turn into NEETs too. And you have to chose to either destroy your failure of marriage with a divorce (hurting your kids in the process) or be miserable for the rest of your life.
Do happy married for couples exist? Of course they do but they a minority because those couples are born from the love between two kind, decent human beings not two anons.
>>136004165
I thought Osayumi subs are hard subbed which is why I don't have them.
>>136004276
I'm not sure I knew back then and was all "I can get anime for free and quickly at 256k?".
>>136004218
Fuck, I just got the manga, anon.
>>136004353
It starts off really good, but starts to go down hill in the later volumes. I hated the ending too and much prefer the anime's version. The off-line meeting ending is also different in the manga, hated that as well.
Okay, stop with the blogshit for a second.
What's the dumbest complaint or misunderstanding you've seen from others in relation to Welcome to the NHK?
I remember seeing someone complain about Satou being so slow to realize that he was in a suicide pact. As if it wasn't established that he's a socially awkward motherfucker.
>>135999719
Pretty good book
>>136004481
>Why the fuck did the author make the MC so pathetic?
>>136004481
>Where's my happy ending?
>>136004328
The subs from Osayumi would be the best if they weren't hard subbed.
>>136004481
Someone told me that Misaki was a yandere. I tried to explain to him that she just wanted someone to validate her existence and make her feel better about herself, but they didn't get the point.
>>136004481
>NO KISSU AT THE END?!! WHAAA?!
>>136003126
Not him, but who cares about love?
I have depression and decided to read Oyasumi Punpun. It reminded me that I had dreams as a kid and was far happier then. Everything gets corrupted in our world, why would I care about love when it's corrupted?
I mean, maybe it's just me but even if I had some qt girl like Misaki show up and actually help me. I would still be left unsatisfied with a feeling of loss that would eat away at me. I have wasted my life until now, I can never get that back and I would always be left feeling "this isnt right, even if it's good think of how much better it could have been if I tried harder and didnt waste most of my current life".
All love would do would make me regret my actions even more by tempting me but not satisfying me due to my own idea of how much better things would be if I didnt take certain paths.
You know the funny thing? I actually beleive in God and I'm kinda hoping after death he will give me an option to go the atheist route and just vanish. I mean even if you got to an amazing afterlife, wouldnt you still be troubled by your experience here?
Alas I cant go thorugh with suicide becuase I would feel guilt due to how it would hurt family/

I hope there's reincarnation. I'd really like a round two at this shit.
Then again, I'd probably end up in India or China.
>>136004849
Yeah but the issue is the guilt knowing beforehand.
>>136004481
>tfw no Misaki to save me
How do they miss the entire point it's about saving yourself?
>>136004977
I dont think there is reincarnation, I have no past memories. This is a huge problem as if I dont remember anything, then how the hell can I learn from my mistakes?
The entire system falls apart without past memories.
>>136004728
Chill man, you're being too negative. The world was just a huge mess and then people somehow got created and now kinda tumble through life.
I'm actually amazed everything is even remotely holding together.
>>135999994
So close.
>>135999999
>>136004856
Speaking if that, what DID happen at the end supposedly?. I know they are both mentally ill and all but do they just remain as friends? Could anyone explain?
>>135999719
It lost itself on the way there
It ended up abruptly - even though the ending was good, I guess, but there was no builup whatsoever. Did they interrupt the series?
Also the friend didn't end up with the girl he wanted which seemed really out of place since that was the whole plot of that character
>>136001903
literally this
It ruined the series for me
wasted potential/10
>>136005053
If you fuck up badly enough it'll be recorded and be helpful to your future self.
PS I'm an atheist.
It was 12 episodes of material stretched out to 24 by way of several terrible filler arcs. There's some really great stuff in there but it's buried under a bunch of shit.
Watched some episodes with my gf.
>"Look Dear, just like you!"
>>136005082
>you're being too negative
No I'm not.
Look lets say you are really into sports and you start paying football at age 12 onwards. You go far and it's great.
Now think of how much better it would bave been if you started when you were 6 or something.
TIme is something you cant get back. It's gone, wasted. For maximum results you would need to devote yourself to something. If you dont have much to show on here, and are old enough to post. You could say that around 18 years of your life (at least) have been wasted. I could have done so much more, and thats wahat eats away at me inside.
Fuck it, I'm going to quit anime, quit vidya and block this site for a year or so. I have been a neet 5 years, and if I dont find a way out soon I will lose my mind.

That's where we disagree. Unless you had seen the future, you'd most likely be the same person making the same choices.
It's good that you're trying to change for the better now but don't be hard on yourself. Your choices back then were mostly determined by factors outside your control.

No one ever learns from history.
Ever.
http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf
although Rome ruled the world, women
ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar
tendency was observable in the Arab Empire,
the women demanding admission to the
professions hitherto monopolised by men.
‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian,
Ibn Bessam, ‘have the professions of clerk,
tax-collector or preacher to do with women?
These occupations have always been limited
to men alone.’ Many women practised law,
while others obtained posts as university
professors. There was an agitation for the
appointment of female judges, which,
however, does not appear to have succeeded.
Soon after this period, government and
public order collapsed, and foreign invaders
overran the country. The resulting increase
in confusion and violence made it unsafe for
women to move unescorted in the streets,
with the result that this feminist movement
collapsed.

He didn't have a gf, he just fucked his sempai once and thats it i think.
>>136005796
The past limits/expands our options now and in the future.
>>136005853
He had sex with Hitomi and he ended up with Misaki at least in some weird ass manner they had bonded over.
Did we read the novel and watch the show and possibly cross reference something by mistake? Maybe I did.
Began watching it when I was a NEET, but I got a job right after I watched the offline meeting, so I stopped watching it because I stopped feeling so fucking terrible.
>>136001903
I also didn't like that arc, but I think it's pretty important.
The whole point of the novel/anime is to show how modern Japanese society can make you like MC, and how different people cop with it (phony pyramid schemes, religious sects, videogame or anime addiction, etc.).
It also hits harder outside of Japan, since pyramid bullshit is actually pretty common outside of Japan, unlike some of the other stuff.
>>136005877
Ah fuck, it's not too late I hope. This excessive white guilt/political correctness feels like something leading towards female dominated society.
That being said, the recent feminist movement feels like it's dying so thank fuck for that.

I know what you mean anon. But unless you committed a crime and are posting from your prison cell right now. You still have your freedom and an uncertain future. So instead of just feeling pity for yourself try to change your life. It's probably not too late.

Scariest anime made

I tried watching it, because people were like "this is Way Too Close To Home: From Animation", but then I watched it and I was jealous of Satou. Yeah, he was a Hikki, but he had two hot girls pretty much fall into his lap, he's actually pretty attractive, and he lost his virginity at a socially acceptable age to the prettiest girl in school.
I couldn't believe it. This guy is supposed to be the absolute bottom of the barrel and he's still better than me.

The key is to try to not focus on the past. Which is of course impossible to do completely, but I've managed to go from dwelling incessantly on minute details of my highschool behavior to only thinking about them a few times day. You may have wasted life till now but the longer you continue to sit the more you'll think, "christ, why didn't I do something earlier?" later on.
The past already happened, focusing on that is just going to ruin your future and make the past repeat itself. Memory is there not for dwelling on your past mistakes but for learning from them and improving your behavior for the future to live a better life.

He was basically raped by his sempai and was an emotional wreck way before that. All the girls that interact with him only do so because they wanna use him to "solve" their own issues. Everyone but his kohai treated him like shit.

You can't be raped by a beautiful woman. It just doesn't work that way.

I think living is fun, and enjoyed this anime.
Hitomi senpai is my favorite character, her emotions suck.

It sounds like he didn't get the moral of the story.
""Let's look forward in life"? Are you an idiot?! We have dreams, so we're
okay? We don't have any kind of dreams!
I wondered if I would have to go on living every day, whispering to
myself, I can't take it anymore.
Is that okay? What do you think?
I worried back and forth about this for a little bit; in the end, though,
I just signed the contract. "
It's an endurance test, the mental fatigue might not ever fully dissipate

I no longer see the friends I grew up with, the girl I had a crush on since I was a kid (who is now probably a single mom like someone from my class I saw last year) and I probably cant take up certain hobbies due to age (I could have done gymnastics as a kid, I saw all the girls and felt like I would be made fun of so I didnt do it. I could have been fit as fuck, and had great fun).
Yes you have freedom. But oppertunities are now diminshed.
>>136006366
I wish I could forget my life until now anon, I really wish I could.
I knoiw what you mean, but again it's hard to see some stupid decision I made that could have taken me on a happier path (I highly doubt growing up is heralded by thoughts of suicide), that path is now gone. While I cant change that, I do still hate myself for the choices that put me where I am. I dont know how to handle regret.

It's probably more he hates being known for WttNHK since none of his other things have reached that level. Atleast thats what I got from his notes at the ened of the book.

That's not it you faggots.
All that guy said was a bunch of shit that is just for the sake of fitting in.
"Follow the rest of society because you're supposed to." What kind of shallow existence is that?
Being an outcast sure as shit sucks but I think I would prefer it to being a face in an endless crowd of cookie cutter people.
>>136006461
>He was basically raped by his sempai
Did that happen in the novel or something? Because it sure didn't happen in the anime.
>>136007476
it happened in the anime
>>136007383
I like the first one better
>>136007392
Man, it isn't about being cookie cutter, it's about living with yourself. Coping mechanisms and how long you can keep it up.
How long before you snap.
>>136007392
I'll be honest anon, I don't enjoy existing as an individual, if I could join a hive mind I would.
>>136007524
You're talking about his daydreaming, right?
>>136007596
from what I understand it's one of those flashbacks to his highschool days
I can't remember, everything I watched just vanished from my head after finishing it
>>136007596
no. It happened in a classroom on the day that Hitomi graduated.
The scene ends with Hitomi making Sato sit down in a chair while she is taking off her uniform
>>136007665
Oh, that. Never thought they actually went that far.
>>136000542
The point of Welcome to the NHK was that you don't need that magical dream girl to fix you.
In no way did Misaki fix Satou. He alone put forth the steps to fix himself.
>>136007773
so if she didn't exist it would have gone down the same?
>>136003436
And actual pedophilia instead of lolicon
>>136007806
Yes, his parent cut his funds. He either starved to death or worked to feed himself
>>136007846
wow like he had actual CP and stuff?
>>135999868
I feel ya, man.
>>136007806
welll she was kind of his motivation to start changing in the beginning. Then it all reverted back and Sato decided to change on his own. Interpret that how you want to but I think the overall message was that only you can ultimately fix your shit while reaching out to others for help will also help you
>>136007277
Extremely relevant.

The CD he was given by Yamazaki wasn't regular porn it was CP.

>>136008078
Stakes get higher, can't just off yourself now but the pressure mounts.
Job
gf
Bills
Old age
etc
Just take it day by day.
>>136008027
aw shit, time to start reading this shit faster
>>136008061
Well the point of the ending os that there is no happy ending for outcasts and "broken" people.
The best they can get is to live.
In the anime Sato get a job (working on the roads), in the novel I think he goes back to college with Misaki, and in the manga (who has a much more bittersweet ending) he goes back to his parents home and try to become a creator.
I haven't read the novel and the manga, just the final chapters and the last pages.
Overrated garbage that only losers can relate to. The animation quality was atrocious and the overlaying theme wasn't very good.
>>136008162
Take your time. It was like a "Scare Them Straight Tour" for my will power in 2007.
>>136008166
That's the gist of it.
I watched it in college and found myself really relating to the characters, especially Satou, so much so that I started believing it was a story about my own life.
At first the show made me want to give up and live as a NEET, so I slipped into depression (worse than usual) and anxiety, failing some of my major classes for about 2 years.
It later served as a source of comfort and motivation that everything will be okay.
I still watch it every year or so to just ground myself.

I'm pretty sure the girl's still in high school, studying for college exams? They made life pact at the end, so it's up to your imagination as to how their relationship will evolve as time passes. I think the manga has a more straightforward confession, but kissing in either one.
>>136008392
oh okay

>>136008162
The anime is way different in tone. Remember when he took pictures outside the school? In the anime it was comedic, in the novel it's pathetica and pitiful, you can see he's having a mental breakdown. The Anime did te eding beter stating being a hiki was itself a luxery, because it required support. But aside from that the anime is better.
Oh and I dont remember the start of the anime having him talk about blowing up the NHK because he was delusional.
Fuck I want to get the Japanese version of the novel for practicing my moon, and to read it again.
>>136009938
The JP version is super cheap on amazon. The english version, however, is pretty expensive even for a slightly used copy.
