Misaki Friday thread. Talk about how shit your week was while looking at soul soothing pictures of Misaki.
Personally I slept through tuesday and wednesday, only getting up for classes and food.
Lost my part time job as a result but I don't really care. I just want it to end.
Shubara ni youkoso
>For just a second, she raised her parasol and looked directly into my face. She was smiling brightly. It was an adorable, mocking smile. And I wanted to die.
Save me Misaki.
>still no stream
Letting me down once again I see
I spent my week playing the game Umineko Chiru. I'm at the end of Episode 5 and I still need to play Episode 6, 7, 8.
Also, there's Steam PC game sales and I bought Black Mesa for 52% off.
On another note, I feel depressed as shit when I am lying in my bed trying to sleep at night.
I think about my mortality (me dying) and my future (as a NEET living with my parents).
I allow myself to think these thoughts because in my opinion, good and bad thoughts go together. I let all thoughts come and go and pass on.
>>24570917
MCF finally died.
Probably.
>>24570936
I can't even fall asleep until I am severly exhausted because bad thoughts keep swarming my head.
Are you afraid of death?
just came back from the opera "don giovanni" it was the absolute worst thing ive seen in my entire life
what about you guys?
and where is mcf at?
>>24571062
I can't stand opera or theater. Yet I am forced each year to see a play or two.
>where is mcf at?
Wish I knew. He wanted to do a stream last week. Said he would update his Twitter with details but nothing happened.
Cute Nagisa, by the way. Did you buy the recently released Clannad on steam?
Failed my thermodynamics test. Spent way too much time procrastinating and did too little work on my paper. Fell behind in one of my hardest courses. Dorm internet blocks 4chan so I can't communicate with fellow robots. Can't watch anime because my shitty dorm laptop can't handle the encoded subs.
What's your favourite nhk ost track and why is it this:

Sorry I missed last week's thread.
MISAKI FRIDAY FORVER
>>24571163
>Did you buy the recently released Clannad on steam?
didnt even know that the VN is out already but sadly i am too poor to guy games and stuff for myself right now but maybe i will treat myself with the game since i love the show and nagisa
>I can't stand opera or theater. Yet I am forced each year to see a play or two.
me too man, did you watch some kind of theater this year?
>Cute Nagisa, by the way
thanks man, too bad there isnt much out there of her so my collection is small
>>24570917
can it be that you are posting this every week?
>>24571243
I'll be in the same boat soon enough. I haven't passed a single mock exam we do weekly but whatever...
>>24571324
Ohh I like that one a lot. Probably my favourite along with the lullaby:

>>24571352
Until Misaki takes us away.
I started reading the novel and so far it seems the characters are even more fucked up than in the anime / manga.
>>24570114
I spent Tuesday, Wednesday and part of Thursday working on blender. Seriously get a hobby
>>24571243
Me too, what was your thermo test content?
>>24571404
>I started reading the novel and so far it seems the characters are even more fucked up than in the anime / manga.
Yeah, the anime/manga had a lot of cutesy and funny stuff whereas the book is really only ever funny in a dark way.
>>24571403
>did you watch some kind of theater this year?
The most recent one I recall was some lame interactive game. They had way too many "players" which made it really hard to progress.
Not that I participated anyways.
>>24571419
The only hobby I had and build up over two years was taken away. So now the world can kindly go fuck itself.
>>24571045
I have mixed thoughts about death.
I will say I am afraid of death.
And then I accept death.
I say I can't be half a living being, something that lives, but cannot die.
Then I say, I'm stardust.
Or maybe I'll use Nietzsche's eternal recurrence.
Finally,
I've read books and listened to audio CD lectures of Alan Watts who explains Eastern Thought (Zen Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, Taoism).
I feel better learning about Eastern Thought.
It says:
I am not my ego, I am not my personality.
..."Try to imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up... now try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep."... - Alan Watts
>>24571163
I'm not the Nagisa image Anon, but that Clannad game is a ripoff because it's $42 for a 10 year old game. I've played the game already a long time ago with a fan translation patch, and I've seen both of the two anime series. I have no need to buy the Steam PC game.
>>24571584
>The only hobby I had and build up over two years was taken away
What do you mean?
>>24571584
Playing Minecraft online?
>>24571616
Those are some deep thoughts. When I think about death I don't really know how I feel. I was fine with dieing but maybe something nice will happen some day.
I'm not holding my breath, though.
> it's $42
Yeah, the price tag is nuts.
>>24571630
>What do you mean?
Let's just say my hobby has a requirement and somebody had something against fulfilling
that specific requirement. Unluckily I am in no position to disagree. As always I suppose...
>>24571631
Ah, to be young again and be excited by just playing videogames all day...
>>24571631
How is 1.9? I haven't played online since it's release but you're making it sound real bad desu

life story of an NHK fan. I think my experiences will stop me from becoming the fully fledged hikki I once was but I certainly don't feel better about the world now I've tried my hand in it.
I wonder if I'm just programmed by the NHK to ruin my life every 3 years...
>>24571808
>went to college
>16
Aren't you still doing GCSE's at 16, at school and that? Only going to college for A levels?
>>24571324
since you and blackoutanon posted the 2 best i'll post my third place
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ClSlzzkFI
>>24571808
how are you going to survive with no job?
>>24571867
You leave school at 16, then after the summer break you go to college in september to do A levels or a vocational equivalent. I dropped out before christmas.
>>24571910
I don't know. I have enough pay to cover december but who knows what for 2016. I'm going to the doctor next week though. I'm gonna face my mental health this time.
>>24571808
Quite the story you have there.
You're definitely a more professional hikikomori than me.
>back to how I felt 6 years ago
I think six years ago I still had hope.
>>24572000
>I'm gonna face my mental health this time.
Best of luck.
I set the windows login sound to Misakis "pinpon pinponpinpon". At least a little bit of happiness everytime I turn on the PC.
I went to a Thanksgiving party. It was good seeing my family. If there's a family party, I want to go, instead of being a NEET shut-in in my room.
Did any of you guys go to a party?
I didn't do any shopping on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday.
The only shopping I want is Steam PC game sales and that will end December 1st.
I want to buy Final Fantasy Steam games.
My image is from:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-zsOfHwHD0
>>24572318
We don't celebrate thanksgiving here but we have other times our family comes together. I usually don't like it very much.
That video reminds me of the Gantz manga.
>>24572093
Thanks for the support. When did you first watch/read NHK? Was it before you actually become a hikki?
I read the manga first around 2012/13 and then the anime the same year. I couldn't believe how much seemed to match how I felt back then, obviously crazed loli photography and suicide clubs aside.
Oh yeah, here's my personal fav track.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ei2izPLpHc
>>24572446
>When did you first watch/read NHK?
I think I watched it soon after I became a hiki for the second time. Maybe winter 2014, I don't remember exactly. The amount of parallels you can draw is staggering.
>Hitori Bocchi
That track is beautiful but I don't like listening to it because it drives a spear through my heart every time.
>>24572318
>Did any of you guys go to a party?
I'll probably go to the family Christmas party next month.
>>24572318
>celebrating thanksgiving
I found this 4chan image.
MISAKI GET!
>>24573554
Very cute. Saved.
>>24571404
>>24571476
Link to the book?
>>24573733
Buy it or be a pirate.
I assume you are talking about the novel.
Here you go. Internet search: "welcome to the nhk novel"
>>24573733
Here you go.

thxSHIT PISS FUCK CUNT COCKSUCKER MOTHERFUCKER TITS
I want to own this light novel. Fuck me dude... that ambient OST someone posted... it's too sad, man.
Just bought the LN feels great anons
>>24574998
Nice. I want to own the anime or novel too one day.
>>24575055
The great thing is, royalties go to the author who is a NEET. He really needs it, and I really need that light novel.
It's amazing how important one person becomes when that person creates something of lasting value. He may be a tortured NEET but he was capable of making something beautiful.... and he still is.
>>24575138
Yeah. I'm really happy for him. I hope he made enough to be a NEET forever.
>>24575195
wasn't the whole point of the story to not be a NEET....?
>>24575244
Yes, but that's no fun.
NHK is one of the only things which gets me to feel real emotions. I think that's why it means so much to me. NHK makes me sad, but in a bittersweet and indulgent way. It can bring me to tears, but they were tears I wanted; Tears that were long overdue.
>>24575244
if that's the case, then the author fails along with us. What is he gonna do, propose that everyone stay NEET forever? he had to spin some kind of positive message, or else I'd have shot myself at the end of the show.
>>24575344
Misaki was probably a subconscious defense mechanism of his to stop him from killing himself while writing NHK.
>>24575344
fuck I ended up with depression the first time I watched the anime, they reserved the whole story with Misaki for the last two charapters and to see the most positive character like that....it kinda hurts
Only take the
GOOD VIBES
live please
>>24575307
Me too, the opening never fails to put a smile on my face
Which medium did you guys like best? For me it goes Manga>LN>Anime. I got the novel and figure off of amazon a couple years ago, but I keep the figure locked up and haven't re-read the novel since then.
>>24572446
This is my favourite track as well!
>>24577933
I haven't finished the novel yet but I prefer the anime over the manga.
>I got the figure off of amazon
I am jealous.
>>24578097
I think it's cool how Misaki seems different in all the different mediums. I read the manga first so I got most attached to it I guess, I just go for source material when I can.

I can't find it anymore on amazon but here's a good deal on ebay.
>>24578302
Oh, that is pretty sweet. Thank you. I'll think about buying it. Shipping will probably cost a lot.
Manga definitely has a lot of beautiful Misakis.
>>24570114
>mfw I just watched WTTNHK for the first time a couple of days ago
>mfw it just made me realize I'll never, NEVER, have a qt3.14 girl trying to save me from being a hikikomori NEET for the rest of my life
Absolutely. The pic in OP and here >>24570411
are my favourites. Though I haven't seen that colorization before, thank you for that.
>>24578479
It's really fun to fantasize about, though!
>>24578479
Welcome to the group.
;_;
I have a feeling this would be easy and fun to read if it weren't for all these fucking kanji.
>>24572446
>When did you first watch/read NHK?
Mid to late last year I believe. I haven't read the manga or LN yet, maybe I'll get them for Christmas.
>>24578852
Kanji are horrible and an invention of the devil to keep us away from our waifus.
I looked for a long time about offline meetings, but couldn't find anything. In retrospect I think google may block those kinds of results somehow.

D-do you want to kill yourself?
>>24579211
I have mixed feelings. My internet activity is under constant surveillance for that topic, I don't know if there'll be consequences for posting in this thread. It's very stressful to not be able to search what I want, so the feeling just lingers and there's no outlet.
>>24579375
Who's watching you? That sounds very serious.
>>24579438
A savvy family member, it's been like this for almost a year now. It's upsetting to know you're not safe behind closed doors.
Not NHK-related but I started listening to this song recently, I really like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y43j5dqeS8Q
>>24579515
I wouldn't be able to relax. My PC is the only save haven I have. I feel for you. But they probably do it because they are concerned and care about you.
I hope it gets better soon.
The song is decent but on nights like these touhou arrangements really strike my fancy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYu5L7FTtJo
Alright, the sun is casting its first rays and I think I'm exhausted enough to sleep.
It's been a very nice thread.
Keep Misaki in your hearts and until next friday.
>>24579694
Yeah, they do. Thank you. That song is interesting, I haven't listened to many instrumental songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-hIYwVKdvs
Have you played Chaos;Head? It's not really like NHK but I still enjoyed it.
>>24580067
Oh, dang. Have a good night, BlackOutAnon.
