N.H.K. ni Youkoso!: Welcome to the N.H.K.!

Well I also am enjoying this show, it is a great fictional character study. For the most part the show's audience is the type that can relate somewhat to what is happening which makes it scary and yet all the more funny. It also doesn't hurt that Satou is addicted to practically everything imaginable.

I wonder how long this series will be, the manga is up to chapter 25 but so far the anime has only covered 2 chapters with the first 3 episodes. They are adding some scenes into the anime and also changing the series some events happen, which doesn't really make that big of a deal. For instance: In the first episode they removed the drugs he takes when he goes into that trip and the appliances start talking, they all tone down his fantasies about Misaki which are all understandable since it is on TV.

Anyway Yukimura is correct; Watch NHK!

I hope you mean 25 volumes...it's slated for 24 episodes...I just looked on ANN and the manga is apparently only up to 4 volumes. This will be interesting, hopefully they can draw the series out enough to fit without it getting to boring.

[Apraxhren]

Nope actually only 24 chapters so far have been scanlated. Which according to what Evil Genius names the files is the start of volume 05. The story seems to have atleast a few more chapters to go as well so they won't run out of material. I wouldn't worry about it getting boring, the parts the are eloborating in the anime are parts like when he is searching for the files and dreams up that whole fishing experiance. Those parts are often quite funny and fit in perfectly.

When Yamazaki was scolding Satou he mentioned three names, which the people of Oyasumi pointed out in a note.
I got curious and... do not search the names...it was something I didn't need to know...

I'm loving this series..when they mentioned the term 'NEET', I immediately thought of a friend of mine (he's the kind of eat-sleep-anime/game person.. no school, work or whatever )

@RyougaZell: I'll follow your advice (even though saying that you shouldn't look only makes you want to look That's the human psyche) , but what exactly did you see? some kiddypr0n or something?

I'm really wondering if Satou will sign the contract or that the series is about him overcoming his hikkikomori without it..

You said it. I didn't

Welcome to #4 by Oyasumi

[Yukimura]

Another fun episode, though with less freaky imagery than before. Satou's journey into the otaku (is that the right word?) world is quite entertaining. But I wonder what he was doing those three years if he wasn't gaming or using the internet. I imagine drugs and watching the TV are likely suspects.

For some reason... I don't know why, I had thought that the older girl was dead or something. also... I wonder if the ED had anything to do with the story (beside the love thing)... i guess its a metaphor for satou.
