About to rewatch NHK in the middle of a depressive episode, is this a good idea robots? Will Misaki save me?
Misaki friday? It's friday where I am.
Great idea. Be sure to keep your gun/rope/knife close in case you want out.
I've watched that anime I dunno how many times now. I lost count after 5 times. Always when I was depressed.
>>28371151
>Will Misaki save me?
No just like she didn't save Satou. But re-watching it is a good idea maybe you can get the point that you missed last time, and it might help you.
Read the book and you will understand the plot a bit better.
Misaki didn't save shit.
>>28371266
>I've watched that anime I dunno how many times now. I lost count after 5 times. Always when I was depressed.
Same I always have a habit when I get drunk and depressed of pulling up some of the heavier episodes to watch before I pass out.
Watching NHK in a drunken depression truly is an experience,
I wish I could fuck Misaki.
>>28371302
While I do still recommend the novel since its fantastic, you don't really need it to understand that Misaki didn't save anybody or what her true intentions were. Its explained in the anime as well.
>>28371151
No watching NHK only makes you feel worse if you're a depressed NEET
>>28371151
>will Misaki save me?
You know she only made things worse for Sato, right? What saved him was Yamazaki forcing him to work and his parents cutting him off.
>>28371151
NHK on a cold lonely friday night is the best
>>28371302
Did anyone else notice how all the women in Sato's life were trying to manipulate him?
>Misaki: Literally everything she does up until the last 2 episodes
>Hitomi: tricks him into believing in conspiracy theories and basically gets him to attempt suicide (and that's just in the anime!)
>Whatsherface with the glasses: tricks him into joining that pyramid scheme
Not to mention that his only real friend is Yamazaki, a cyborg.
>>28371462
>You know she only made things worse for Sato
because he was a fuckin normie. Any real shutins life would be significantly improved with a qt gf
>>28371518
>because she was a fucking normie
No, she wasn't. She had no friends at all in the anime and never made any attempt at forming relationships with people other than Sato. And in the manga, she tries going back to high school and she's completely incapable of making friends.
>>28371541
he was mate, hence why his life was not improved by having Misaki in it
Misaki isn't real you faggots.
No girls like her exist. You can't be cute and robot in this age.
>tfw you'll never watch NHK for the first time ever again
http://webmshare.com/vAz9B
>>28371584
>Misaki isn't real you faggots.
Crazy girls with borderline personality disorder who just want to keep someone they deem worthless around to make themselves feel better exist anon.
>>28371609
Even if they do, they will never be interested in you.
The best part was after the suicidepack arc when everyone else left with their family etc. and Sato just goes goes back to home alone.
>because he was a fuckin normie. Any real shutins life would be significantly improved with a qt gf
She made things worse because she never had any intention of saving him retard. Her whole purpose was to just have him around since she wanted someone lower and more pathetic than herself, not because he was whatever arbitrary definition of a "normie"
Also if you think your life will improve from a "qt" then you really missed the point of NHK, really fucking hard.
>>28371690
meant to quote >>28371541I need sleep
>>28371584
>no girls like her exist
There are plenty of manipulative, mentally ill girls with self-esteem issues out there.
>>28371690
>Her whole purpose was to just have him around since she wanted someone lower and more pathetic than herself
So what? Even if she had no intention of saving him her being in a shutin's life wouldn't make that shutin's life worse. At best it's neutral, in reality having people around you significantly improves your life
>>28371670
>Even if they do, they will never be interested in you.
If they're interested in pathetic guys to make themselves feel better me or the average robot would be a good fir.
Misaki wasn't romantically interested in Satou she kept him around in the same vein as a stacy keeps her beta orbiter around, except she just wanted someone who was worthless and in her own words "no lower than a stray dog" so she would feel better about herself.
I really feel like crazy girls like this would exist, yeah certainly the romanticized version of her that most dumb robots who missed the point see doesn't exist, but the real Misaki who never intended to help anyone but herself is pretty realistic in my opinion.
>>28371595
It's interesting to see what scenes had the biggest impact for different people. I have no idea why, but this scene where Misaki says nothing but positive stuff to him is depressing as hell for me:

>>28371767
>>28371743
>being this disillusioned
do you really think a real life Misaki is going to come 'save' you?
>>28371151
I usually hate anime but this one's good. It's a great description of how a NEET feels, why one would become a NEET, why you would stay a NEET and how to stop being NEET.
Also really comfy. Probably comfiest show I've seen, I love the color scheme and music. Really good moral too; being a shut-in is a result of excess comfort.
>>28371790
Of course not, and I'm happy that she won't. Misaki caused far more misery than happiness for Sato, what 'saved' him was his parents refusing to send him any more money.
watched it once back in 2012 when I was a depressed degenerate back in highschool and thought I'd turn out like him unless I changed my ways. For the next few years I tried to find something that matched the emotional intensity and power of that moment and it is only recently that I have begun to realise that i should be looking out to the world for that instead of in other people's stories. But I digress, you reckon it would be a good watch for me since then I've dropped out of uni twice and gonna start a tradie course in a few weeks might be the last time I'm NEET for a very long time. Posting OC Pepe I found
>>28371790
You must be retarded or just have poor reading comprehension skills. I know no girl will save anyone because girls like that don't exist. But I feel like a mentally i'll girl manipulating a guy so she can have him around for her own selfish needs is pretty realistic.
Or are you one of the retards who actually thought Misaki wanted to save Satou?
Reading the novel made me want to kill myself
It was pretty great though
>>28371842
>wanted to save Satou
No, my point is, no girl is going to go all full Misaki mode and knock on your door and give you some great plan on how she's going to save you.
If you believe that, you are retarded.
>>28371895
The point is that girls like her could exist sure they're not going to knock on your door but girls who manipulate guys for their own selfish needs whether if its just to make themselves feel less worthless are very real.
Of course no ones going to come knock at your door since its a story and that was just a setup for the story. But knocking at you door isn't what made Misaki Misaki, if that all you can see in her character you're retarded.
>>28371151
if you are depressed, the don't watch NHK, TARD.
watch mushishi or some other comfy shit
>>28371760
He never got better with her around, She was really manipulative to him and basically was giving him the opposite effect on purpose by making him dependent on her.
Its why she didn't save him and what saved him was when he ran out of money and almost starved to death and was forced to get a job.
>>28371953
Also notice that satou didn't get that chance to get better until after he cut contact with Misaki.
>>28371953
>He never got better with her around
right, because he was a normie, as I said
>>28371953
It's less obvious in the anime but in the novel he gets a job and it changes nothing besides forcing him to leave the house to survive. He wasn't any happier and he still referred to himself the same way as before.
Ending up with a relationship with Misaki where both can be themselves without lying was probably the most helpful thing to happen to him
>>28371936
Why? It's relateable and shit works out in the end. Even gives some good advice.
>>28371895
>give you some great plan on how she's going to save you.
Misaki didn't either, really. She just stumbled through psychology and religion books that she barely understood because she's a high school dropout. Any real progress she helped Sato make was largely by accident and often backfired (like when she told him about Yamazaki's "girlfriend")
>>28371998
>shit works out in the end
>only friend lives hundreds of miles away
>the girl he loves is married to a better man
>his only social contact is a mentally unstable 20-year old
>works a minimum wage job
Granted, he seems slightly happier than he was at the beginning (at least in the anime), but life generally still sucks for him
>>28371973
That has nothing to do with being a normie you retard, it has to do with the fact that she was manipulative and purposely making him get worse, do you really think that couldn't happen to the average robot? Being taken advantage of by a "qt" and becoming completely dependent on her so you never try to get better.
Or do you think the average robot would just hop out and get a job the second a girl comes along, if you do you're retarded.
>>28371980
I've read the novel and both afterwards, and I know he doesn't get happier and he even mentions in the epilogue of the anime that he feels like nothings changed and that he can easily go back to that state.
by "save" i'm not referring to his happiness but him basically getting a job and "escaping his hikkomori ways" I really doubt Misaki or a job can make Satou happy, especially when he knows that she only wanted him around because hes so worthless.
>>28372030
Yamazaki was a dick though. He looked down on Satou and only used him for his dumb dreams
>>28372054
>Yamazaki was a dick though. He looked down on Satou and only used him for his dumb dreams
i dont think that is entirely true
he participated in pretty much all of Satou's plans, and even sees Satou as valuable
I dont get where "he looked down" on Satou at all. Telling someone they are fucking up, isnt looking down on them, considering he related to Satou in a lot of ways.
>>28372054
>Yamazaki was a dick though
Sure, but he wasn't all that manipulative. Sato came to him in the first place and was pretty enthusiastic about the idea of making a game, so it's not like much manipulation was needed. He stopped Sato from jumping off of that cliff, got him out of the pyramid scheme, and basically forced him to go outside in broad daylight several times. But on the other hand, he did almost get Sato arrested for sexual harassment of minors. So maybe it evens out.
>>28372054
>>28372091
If he anything part of him looked up to Satou after he tried to save him from bullies. Hell when they first meet again remember how happy Yamazaki was to see him.
Also I really doubt he used him, seriously with all the work Yamazaki did alone on their eroge he could of easily wrote a script on top of that. Also he gave Satou a choice in it he didn't force him or manipulate him to do it.
>>28372111
>But on the other hand, he did almost get Sato arrested for sexual harassment of minors. So maybe it evens out
thats literally the robot in him, being cringy, and doing cringy things like we all do sometimes
he could have been arrested as well, he just ran IIRC
>>28372127
>Hell when they first meet again remember how happy Yamazaki was to see him.
That goes away just hours later, though. Once he finds out that Sato is a NEET, his attitude changes pretty quickly.
>>28372151
There's "cringy", and there's "trying to photograph the underwear of young girls". One of those things is embarrassing, the other can get you a serious fine and jail time (at least here, not sure how it works in Japan).
>>28372151
Getting your friend into CP isn't normal cringy robot behavior
>>28372159
You have a point, but thats mostly due to just Yamazakis anger issues not because he looks down on him.
If he looked down on him he wouldn't of been happy to see him in the first place.
>>28372042
>That has nothing to do with being a normie you retard, it has to do with the fact that she was manipulative and purposely making him get worse, do you really think that couldn't happen to the average robot? Being taken advantage of by a "qt" and becoming completely dependent on her so you never try to get better.
so fucking what? Literally any kind of human interaction is a better alternate to being alone. Satou was a fucking normie who already had that and thus didn't get anything out of having Misaki in his life

you seem to forget where Yamazaki was the only guy to actually stay, and be around Satou. He provided Satou a way, even when Satou had nothing to offer in return BUT his friendship
>>28372176
>>28372181
>Getting your friend into CP isn't normal cringy robot behavior
actually, yes it is. im general, that friend yamazaki is, usually introduces you to lots of weird things. My friend didnt know a thing about masturbation, or til I told him about it back in middle school.
what the fuck do you think this site is for, normies?
>>28372237

No.

>>28372249
not cp, but i did pass him loads of porno. he was grossed one by one of them, and it would make a lot of sense why we aren't friends anymore. he converted into being a normie when we were 20-ish.
>>28372208
>Satou was a fucking normie who already had that and thus didn't get anything out of having Misaki in his life.
With who? at the beginning of the show its implied that hes not spoken to anyone in 4 years. Him haveing Yamazaki around is just so you can have other characters and flesh them out not because "Satous not a trv neet" He was alone by himself for 4 years not speaking to know one out of pure paranoia and anxiety, not what i'd call a normie.
>thinks getting a job is the only thing to improve your life
Its like you didn't read my other post in response to the other anon. Misakis plan to "save" satou wasn't to make him happy but to make him "escape his hikkomori ways" ie leaving the house more ie getting a job. He could of been happy and a hikkomori but her plan was to make him escape being a hikkomori. Whats way to prove you've escaped being a hikkomori by getting a job.
>>28371151
NHK is an important series for me because it reminds me just how close I became to being a hikki failure. Now I'm successful, if socially awkward with an enormous chip on my shoulder. I could have gone the other way, though probably would an hero before long.
>>28372295
>know one
fuck I need sleep.
>>28371151
And yeah, you should watch NHK because it's got some reassuring messages for people who are in a dark place.
Misaki things you a loser too. She only loves the biggest loser of them all.
Tatami Galaxy is another good one to watch while depressed
>>28371151
>Will Misaki save me?
Misaki is never coming to save you.Dumb Misakiposters
Can anyone tell me of others like this anime?
Its pretty old, I would like something new or differnt to watch thats neet or hikki related.
>>28372237
>he realizes he is in the same predicament he himself is in
Not even close. Yamazaki had been going to school for a couple of years up to that point, he had several previous girlfriends (who broke his heart, but still), he regularly attended social functions, he asked out that girl he had a crush on and went on a date with her...he and Sato were in a very different place. I agree that Yamazaki helps him out though, maybe because he feels like he owes Sato for being his friend back in high school.
>>28372237
>actually, yes it is.
No, it isn't.
>My friend didnt know a thing about masturbation, or til I told him about it back in middle school.
Masturbation isn't illegal. Sexually harassing children absolutely is.
>>28372216
Don't know what that has to do with being in college. Misaki shows that she has no idea what she's talking about several times, Sato actually knew more about it than she did (like with Freud). He just kept going to the counseling sessions for the same reason wealthy betas will pay to watch a girl struggle through a video game that they've beaten a dozen times.
>>28373499
There aren't many good shows out there that deal with this desu.
Watamote is sort of close, but it's about a girl in hs so obviously the problems are very different from Sato's. Oregairu is supposedly about this, but the "problems" seem to mainly be some variation of "cute girl #1 thinks I'm going out with cute girl #2! However will I get myself out of this predicament, such is the life of a loner!". The problem is that anime is meant to provide an escape from shitty NEET life, so you're about as likely to find shows about being a NEET as you are to find shows about working in the HR department of a mid-size paper company in Tokyo.
>>28373499
There isn't really anything else like it as far as anime goes, you could try Tatami galaxy not very robot-ish but still relatable at parts and very good.
Your best bet for more robot like stories is with manga though. None are as good as NHK in my opinion though.
Onanie Master Kurosawa
http://myanimelist.net/manga/8967/Onanie_Master_Kurosawa
Don't be put off by the premise this is a very good manga with a character similar to
Satou. Although Kurosawa is more cynical.
Chikan Otoko
http://myanimelist.net/manga/46282/Chikan_Otoko
From the same guy who did Kurosawa, this one isn't depressing or as series more of just a heartwarming love story of a robot finding love. Supposedly based on a real 2chan story. But its a funny and cute read.
Ressentiment
http://myanimelist.net/manga/1238/Ressentiment
This ones easier to relate to if you're older than Satou, mc is ugly as fuck to. Basically its the "bad side" that could come of if VR waifus were a real thing and perfect in every way.
Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge
http://myanimelist.net/manga/5674/Negative_Happy_Chainsaw_Edge
From the same author as the original NHK novel and manga. Not as good as NHK but woth a good read if you're interested in some of his other work. mc is basically a young satou.
>>28373557
dawg, he realizes no one likes him, or Satou. thats the predicament I'm talking about. They have no allies. Except each other. Thats what makes them "in the same predicament". Yamazaki just has better fortune of being from a better family, and had better connections
>>28373583
>Sexually harassing children absolutely is
As someone who has had sex with a 14yr old before, you dont know what you are talking about. There is no "legal", or "illegal" lol
How would you feel if I told you they ask for it? like verbally?
I'm not saying creeping on school age girls in the bushes isn't creepy, but you are silly to assume sex is tied to age
>girl dates old fuck for sugardaddy reasons, no one cares/you go grrl
>guy dates young/younger girl, he is a pervert, and wrong
This seems like a good place to ask:
Is Oyasumi Pun Pun worth reading? I plowed through the first couple of chapters but I'm not massively enjoying it at the moment.
Even though the anime is old now, I think it would be cool if they released an OVA showing the lives of Satou, Yamazaki and Misaki years after the events of the anime.
The actual author of the novel and manga is a hikikomori. He said he almost escaped it by writing Welcome to the NHK but then fell back into being a hikki and isn't inspired to write anymore. So I think if they made an OVA where Satou ends up a hikikomori again years later it would be fitting. Yamazaki would be stoically but perhaps unhappily raising a family and working on his dairy farm. Misaki would be going to university studying psychology. Maybe they would both return to Tokyo to help Satou again.
Maybe it would be redundant but I would watch the fuck out of it.
>>28373762
>I would watch the fuck out of it
Me too. Sounds like a great idea.
>>28373762
if they can reanimate FLCL's corpse to fuck it for more money, they can do this
>>28373683
>There is no "legal", or "illegal" lol
Yes, there is. There are laws against it. That's what "illegal" means. What country are you in?
>>28373762
Would be interesting. I get the feeling that most of them would be unhappy in the end though.
>once he gets over his elation at finding a wife, Yamazaki realizes that all he has is the drudgery of the stagnant Japanese agricultural sector and booze to look forward to

He actually ended up escaping it, he used to have a twitter a couple years ago and he seemed really happy. Most of it was him going places and talking to people.
I also want to know what happens to pyramid scheme girl and her brother.
>>28373897
>Yes, there is. There are laws against it. That's what "illegal" means. What country are you in?
see, you are thinking of it wrong
there is only "what WONT be snitched about", and "what WILL be snitched about"
guess which one I fall under?
>>28373992
Pretty sure she goes off to university and ends up fine, while her brother is consigned to a lifetime of nutcrushing wageslavery, just like Satou.
The pattern in NHK seems to be
>female characters end up getting everything they want
>male characters end up in the same position or worse
So, just like real life then.
>>28373973
Good for him, if his life was anything like Sato's then I'm really happy he escaped.
>>28374028
According to him it was, he said he based a lot of satou on himself. He said that made the novel a lot harder write.
>>28371151
not a good idea, because you'll realize that she won't be yours...
>>28374015
>there is only "what WONT be snitched about", and "what WILL be snitched about"
No, there's still legal and illegal. Not getting caught doesn't mean that you aren't breaking the law.
>>28374020
Yamazaki ended up in a better position in the end though. Same goes for Hitomi's husband, Sato, and the video-game playing NEET (who seemed pretty happy in his final scene). Misaki's life doesn't seem to be significantly improved from where she started.
>>28374098
>No, there's still legal and illegal. Not getting caught doesn't mean that you aren't breaking the law

>>28371609

Seriously, how fucking naive are you faggots?
No woman will ever care for you unconditionally.

this Misaki thread on a Friday is an imposter
>>28373499
watamote comes the closest
but plenty of anime contain elements of nhk
>>28374098
>Yamazaki ended up in a better position in the end though
I think that's questionable. Yamazaki was forced into a lifestyle he never chose and did not want. After another year I bet he'd be bored and exhausted from life on the ranch, especially once his wife stops pretending to be attracted to her otaku husband.
Hitomi's husband ends up saddled with a mentally ill, pharmaceutical-addicted wife, plus a child that will likely turn out the same way.
For Megumi's brother (the gamer) and Satou both, nothing has really been resolved in their life except they are now stuck working a series of minimum-wage jobs to survive. What do they really have to look forward to?
Meanwhile Hitomi has her wealthy husband and a child; Megumi is free from debt and obligation and the burden of her brother; and Misaki has gained the validation and support of a real relationship, through the "possession" of Satou that was her angle all along.
>>28374467
basically >>28374020
>female characters end up getting everything they want

hitomi might still off herself
but it'll probably be accidental
>>28374491
Yes, I wrote both those posts. Just defending my position.
>>28374492
i think the whole point of the island arc was to show that everyones life sucks. even those females with "everything they wanted", although i think its self caused in a lot of ways. I know ways where its not their fault though. It also showed a younger man, and older man going through issues too
I'm not claiming to be the brightest, but i love discussing NHK because of stuff like this
>>28374509
Well I agree with you. I think Satou is gonna turn out better though, even if he is a bit dim
>>28374492
>"If I died, would you be sad? Would you miss me?"
I just realized that none of Sato's Hitomi-related flashbacks are happy, except that one where it's implied that they fucked.
>>28374467
>yamazaki was forced into a lifestyle he never chose and did not want
he didn't really want to be a hentai game designer
he only needed to otaku it up in tokyo for a couple years to get it out of his system
at least yamazaki has a comfy dairy farm and a large extended family
>>28374610
>at least yamazaki has a comfy dairy farm and a large extended family
It's true. I definitely agree Yamazaki fared the best of the male characters.
>>28374610
This desu, the only reason he left with any regrets at all is that what's her name ended up liking him in the end and he pushed her away.
>>28373966
Dubs confirm this is a good idea.
Problem is I don't know how to get in touch with the creator (I don't know Japanese). But if it ever got to the stage of having a crowdfunding thing I would support it. I bet it could be done easily.
Anyone ITT speak Japanese enough to let the guy know there is interest in continuing NHK?
>>28374802
He has tried to write again and again. It never works. He also has made it known that he thinks the novel is flawed.
Even if he tried, nothing would come out of it. Besides, an OVA is not going to add anything to the story at all.
When did you realizeMisaki is never going to come and save you?
>>28374456
>tfw watamote is so good that I can't enjoy anything else
NHK was good too.
Maybe I should rewatch it too some day.
>>28374835
Hmmm... I wonder who owns the rights to Welcome to the NHK? Maybe we could pitch the crowdfunding idea to the company, or the original author if he still owns the IP. Then someone else can write itbut not me because I'm probably a worse choice than the original author anyway
Also can I get a link to his Twitter feed Famicom?
Let's face it, the idea is nice on paper but it's generally a rather shit anime. All but 3 episodes are terrible filler. Pacing is nonexistent.
>one episode is serious and about suicide
>another one is about porn games
>another one is about pyramid schemes
Makes no sense. And while MC is relatable to a degree he is also a degenerate without a single aspiration in life. He doesn't want a gf, he doesn't want to be happy, he doesn't want anything. He is a nonexistent movie version of a robot, like what James Bond is to an average real life data analyst.
>>28375337
>He doesn't want a gf, he doesn't want to be happy, he doesn't want anything
Well, that's me. So I found the character to be pretty credible myself.
Anyway my interpretation of the series is that it explores the kinds of challenges life throws at people and the various coping mechanisms they use in response. Satou's social anxiety and retreat to NEETdom is just one such combination (and the author's own, apparently, so it's natural the story is shown mostly from his perspective). The series as a whole is not really supposed to be about hikkikomori; that's just one example it uses.
Apart from the Misaki fantasy I thought the show managed a fairly realistic portrayal of the way life tends to go for people.

While I understand what you mean, I think you are making it out to be way deeper than it was meant to be. Also I'm not saying that about MC in a bad way, I'm just saying it's not very believable, from my subjective standpoint that is, that there is a character who can't say "wouldn't life be much nicer if I had [insert random thing of any sorts]". As dead inside as you can get, there must be something you crave or just merely want. That kind of behavior and character doesn't stem only from neetdom and robot-lifestyle, it's affecting one's intelligence and all other kinds of fucked up shit.
>>28375337
Read the novel it was based on. It leaves out side events like those. It generally is better than the anime and manga. Those two versions go over the top on a few occasions, although the anime is not very bad in that aspect.
If you think escaping a life style like that is as easy as "wanting to be happy" and "just being normal" I'm not even sure what exactly you are doing here.

>If you think escaping a life style like that is as easy as "wanting to be happy" and "just being normal" I'm not even sure what exactly you are doing here.
I never said that. There are things I will never ever have, things that are relativelyu achievable to a common man too. And I can't have them. Still want them though.
>>28375620
>As dead inside as you can get, there must be something you crave or just merely want
Well, I'm glad you find this hard to imagine. The situation you find so unrelatable is basically the very picture of clinical depression, which Satou is pretty clearly struggling with at the start of the anime.
>>28375725
People with clinical depression don't indulge other people in all kinds of ways that MC indulged every single side-character in the show. Hence the lack of believable factor.

everyone is with you, we are all walkin to a brighter tomorrow.
who are you people no mention of the stream being murdered last week rip. Misaki crazy fan where are you bring the stream dream back to life

Misaki is a failed Stacy. She doesn't care about anyone, she just wants someone to depend on her so she can feel being needed. All she does isn't altruistic, it is dictated by her huge ego combined with insecurity.
>>28376536
wasnt she also abused?
>>28376604
She was abused and that makes the abuser a bad person.
She became an asshole and that makes her a bad person.
Abuse isn't an excuse to being an asshole.
>>28371497
its a very realistic anime for sure
>>28376647
wasnt justifying anything calm down kaneki. need to refresh my memory about it
>>28373466
That's just disturbing

>Will Misaki save me?
Did she save Sato?No.
Which form would you guys rate best? Why does it go like novel > anime > manga?
>>28377896
only seen the anime, so i cant compare.
is it worth reading the novel or manga? like give a mild spoiler if you could?
>>28377896
>Why does it go like novel > anime > manga?
Because novel misaki is the nicest misaki, manga misaki is the meanest misaki and anime misaki is somewhere in the middle.
>>28377923
You've got the novel which is pretty well written. I think it gives a more realistic display of the story. It leaves out side events like suicide island. On top of that some anime events are explained better (for example the talking tv stuff and the ending at the cliff). Character interaction feels more real and natural too. 250 pages, just read it.
The manga expanded upon the novel. Added more backstory for side characters and many more side events. Less realistic than novel and anime. Very different Misaki and more over the top.
Anime portrais the manga with normal Misaki. Adapts only like a third of the chapters. Reading the manga after watching the anime gives you a lot of new content. While the manga is the worst of the three, I still recommend it for that.
>>28378072
got it. thank you bro, i will be revisiting this
>>28371595
>tfw I haven't watched it for the first time yet because I've never been happy enough
I posted in the Misaki Friday thread a month ago about getting sunglasses. Now I got new sunglasses, the Ray-Ban RB3471. It's blue color mirror lenses. I like these sunglasses more than my old ones.

>being autistic enough to think sato's true problem was unemployment
What's everyone's favourite track from the ost

>>28379347
I really like the lullaby.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgqSBu1pwM8
>>28379347
Natsu no Nichi ni Youkoso! is pretty good, despite being pretty depressing.
I also like the main theme (the one by Pearl Kyouda)
Anons, I'm thinking about reading the novel. I already watched the anime (never bothered with manga)
Is it really that worth it? I already know about all of the stuff that isn't included in the anime, so I am not sure whether I am missing out much.
>>28380080
>I also like the main theme (the one by Pearl Kyouda)
first time i heard it, the next day i marathoned the song all day

>>28380153
Not Puzzle (I even noted it), but Puzzle is pretty good as well.
>>28380110
I'd say it's worth it, it is fairly different to the anime and it's pretty short so it won't take you long anyway. My ranking is:
anime > novel >manga
>>28380200
Well i like the OP
since no one is posting any links or whatever, ya know just being faggots
>>28380110
Yes, it is worth it. It's not even that long.
this isnt a real misaki thread without mcf and the stream
btw is there gonna be one today?
>>28380705
>btw is there gonna be one today?
It isn't look good, is it?
>>28380272
Most of them have been removed. I just have it saved. Sorry, anon.
>still no stream
and you couldn't even be bothered to show up to the thread this week. I hope you're proud of the disappointment you've brought upon us.
>>28381370
didn't his twitch channel get banned last week?
>>28381498
yes and there was a thread last week
>>28381498
>>28381370
>>28381564
Got banned right during it due to us fucking around about "porn" which probably triggered the autoban
>>28381753
so .. why not just make a new twitch account then ...
>>28382048
twitch does ip bans
someone needs to step up and stream, not me though im trophy huntin
>>28382048
I'm not MCF, but regardless, see
>>28382089
MCF is considering other options ever since last friday.
>>28382131
are you his spokesperson
>>28371151
I've never seen Welcome to the N.H.K. I haven't watched anime for several years, really, except some episodes of One Punch Man a friend showed me.
Is NHK worth watching? Does it capture the soulcrushing feeling of being a NEET? Will it make me feel happier? I appreciate any input.
Oh yeah, and if I do watch it, should I go SUB or DUB?
>>28382205
just watch if you are a NEET. i don't think it is good but it's only 13 or so episodes. watch the sub. the dubbed voices are pretty bad.
>>28382154
yes he is :^)
>>28382089
yes
>>28381370
>the same shitposting anons each week for months
>>28380705
anon I'm not irreplaceable, i hope there's always a thread with me or not, also anyone can do a stream of nhk, no not today, firstly because i'm very tired and can't handle it, and secondly i just want this wagecuck phase to be gone to do proper marathons.

It actually says "[she] Won't come" in Russian on the tattoo.

>>28382254
>the same shitposting anons each week for months
you imply it isn't just me, the same one every time, it'd be so much less autistic if that wasn't true though
>>28382366
I know that feel
However, I am not low enough to get a trip
thanks for noticing me regardless
>>28382530
Pretty tough to choose just one...but I think it'd have to be this.
!MISAKI!FRIDAYS!FOREVER!
Sorry I missed a couple of threads
>>28382617
there was a few before you anon, s-sorry
>>28382693
i was hoping >>28373466 but apparently you had to make one yourself on paint, good job dumbmisakiposter-kun :^)
>>28382249
i'm completely wrong by the way, there are 23 episodes. just so many filler episodes that it feels like 13.
I wonder how that guy who cut his balls off on here is doing
>>28382984
Meh, I found those filler episodes pretty fascinating as well. They had quite a lot of comic relief and added to the setting.
>>28383034
elaborate please. I must have missed that.
>>28383199
there was a guy who thought that the reason for his unhappiness was his sex drive so he cut off his balls and posted the process step by step timestamp included, I wonder what happened to him or it I guess now
>>28383034
did something like that really happen?
>ywn have a qt misaki gf
>>28383273
Yes, was anyone here there that day
>>28383311
I was in that thread. He didn't really cut his balls off, but he did cut open his ballsac and (if I remember correctly) manage to get one ball squeezed out of it before disappearing. Presumably to either the hospital or the floor.
It's archived on desustorage, someone else probably has the link handy.
>>28383337
Samefag delivers:
http://desustorage.org/r9k/thread/27597757
"Instead of thinking about suicide if you're chronically unhappy, focus on what you need to try and cut your balls out."
>>28383554
What the serious fuck. How the fuck does a human being do that to themselves?
>>28383763
Mental illness, my friend.Not the meme variety either.

Thanks for the update there, chief.
>>28371151
OP how far are you in the series now?
>>28371151
No, the only one that can save you is yourself.
I honestly think that all Misaki haters should be gassed, like the filthy jew vermin they are. :^)
I love her simply because she's just as broken and fucked up as me.
