Welcome to the NHK
« on: July 05, 2010, 01:24:06 AM »
I saw this show a while back, and I have to say that it's one of the best anime shows I've ever seen. Really funny, while managing to be plenty dramatic at times.

Anyone else seen it yet?
All these college professors teaching classes about Shakespeare, who was the 16th-century equivalent of a director of summer-blockbusters, makes me wonder if 500 years from now we'll have college courses on the subtle nuances of Michael Bay movies.

why yes i did. I (ranted) wrote about it a while ago. I liked it more watching scraps on youtube or something, but i was more 'meh' about it once i bought it.

While funny at times, the spooky thing about this series is that it can be an accurate account of the hikikomori (or NEET) lifestyle.

I thought it was a fun series but the ending needed something more.

I've debated watching it, but have been procrastinaing due to the fact that the plot seems to hit a little too close to home for me.  :icon_sad:
