Welcome to the N.H.K. – Anime Review
Review: The NHK anime is based on a popular novel and follows the successful NHK manga release. NHK is a different kind of slice of life story. It is the story of a hikikomori who locked himself away from society and rarely ever leaves his apartment. He goes through all kinds of hardships of geekhood like getting computer game addicted, getting eroge addicted, getting porn addicted, getting drug addicted, getting fooled into buying tons of useless merchandise ending up with a huge dept, getting involved with a suicide group and so on. Yet the story is written in a way that you can still relate to the main-character. But then the beautiful girl Misaki-chan appears in front of his door and proclaims she will help him out of his pitiful situation. Who is she? Why does she want to help him? How does she intend to help him and will she really succeed in helping him?
Rating: 9/10

As I remember it I think the manga covers more of the story line that the anime does. Still the anime is great; funny und serious at the same time. It shows the hardships of life, but presents it funny as it seems like the main character himself faces all troubles you can possibly face sequently (addictions, frauds, disorders…)
Ironically the girl who tries to help him has enough problems on her own to deal with as we learn later on. It’s a parody on life, presented in a rather original anime.
To understand all the things he is going through, you need a basic understanding of Japanese culture, but as the problems are the same all around the world, even outsiders can get the rough picture.

Best anime ever made in the history of anime ever, if you’re a hikikomori you have to watch this.
