NHK ni Youkoso is a true masterpiece. Completely different from all other animes, this show is so influential, so intriguing and so frustrating at times, that it might make you smash your god-damned head into the wall.
But if you watch it through 24 episodes, you will not only enjoy it but learn some important lessons that will stick with you. Such a gem this anime is.
If you want a sweet ride through fantasy and want over the top genius hikikomori protagonists like No Game No Life( not to mention Itachi-like-lines below his eyes),
which will only be remembered for its lame shit then you can
...
go to blazes for all I care.
Story 9/10
'Original Synopsis' of this anime can be a little misleading. NHK ni Youkoso revolves around a shithead NEET hikikomori Satou and the problems he faces in trying to overcome this 'disease'
of his. It very truly depicts the life of a NEET, you might feel that its a little exaggerated but, believe me, we all have seen similar cases in reality.
Anyway, a girl, Misaki, tries to help him (cannot give the reason for that as it will the biggest fucking spoiler and your 7 generations will curse me and piss on my grave for that)
so he can return to living a normal life. But things are not always that simple and life takes twists and turns.
The pacing of the show might seem slow at the start but it is not actually slow, it is the real life pacing, things do not happen all of a sudden
in real life (except for lightening, which strikes fu*king fast), particularly in the life of a hikikomori. They take their time (I am trying to cover Satou's lazy ass maybe)
and it makes the show throroughly enjoyable.
Characters 10/10
For me, characters are the strongest point of this show, they are so unique and real that you grow very attached to them, especially Satou,
if you make a list of protagonists from all the animes of all the time, then the most paranoid pathetic shithead c**t will be Satou,
and of course, by a few million light years. But precisely because of that, because of him being a realistic NEET, you will sympathise with him,
you will wish for him to recover from all the shit he has got invloved with. The truth is that, Satou wants to become normal, sometimes he tries by himself but it is not always that easy
when you are paranoid, just like any other NEET and Hikikomori. Next up is Misaki, the only piece of toilet paper in a world full of shitty butts.
Not a lot about her will be revealed(until last few episodes) and for the most part of the show she will be " an Angel sent from heaven to save a lazy asshole from ruining his life".
The last main character is Yamazaki(Satou's junior in highschool), an otaku and programmer, but a hardworking one, clever and logical.
Comparing him to Satou will be an insult to him(Yamazaki), though sometimes his 'otakuness' takes over and he becomes as useless as his sempai Satou.
Sound/Voice acting 10/10
The OP and Ending are good but not exceptionally great. But the reason sound gets a 10 is because of PURU-PURU-RU-RU Rin MOFOs!( yes I am not joking, it deserves this)
this is a song that will be played a lot of times throughout the show, in times of hopelessness and desperation, in times of frustration and in times of aspiration.
You will dislike it in the start just like Satou hated it. But at the end of 24 episodes you will be all 'Pururin' from head to butt to toe.
Its been two years since I watched this show but this pururin keeps popping in my head from time to time. So much that its become one of my favourites.
The voice acting cast suits the characters so much that it feels like these voice actors were born for these roles.
It is also one of the reasons you get attached to these characters.
Art 10/10
The reason art gets full marks is because the way it shows the emotions of the characters is just top notch. Although the overall art of the show is not exceptional but
because the facial expressions are so well done, which convey so much more than words, is the reason it gets top marks.
Enjoyment And OVERALL 10/10
I wanted to give an 11/10 for enjoyment. Yes, this show will keep you on your toes throughout its episodes. There will be times when you will laugh at Satou's patheticness,
there will be frustrating times when you'd want to smash you computer and pee on its screen and there will be times you'd be about to weep,
but might manage to punch a cushion just in time to save yourself.
A lot of enjoyment and important things to learn from this anime for all shitheads and anime fans ( or both).
Usually I am against (writing and reading) a long review( Satou laziness curse) but to put down all of my accumulated feelings for this masterpiece, I had to make an exception.

*Updated after completing the anime)
Best anime of this summer?You got it horribly wrong. (judge this review after watching at least 7 episodes) I am a HARDCORE detective/mystery genre fan that is why I had very high expectations of this show when I started it but it was a downhill slope starting from episode one. I am not the type of person that likes to write entirely UNCONVENTIONAL reviews but my mind forced me on this one Some people might be bragging about its ORIGINALITY but guess what?*Spoiler*Ever heard of the anime "MONSTER"?The characters background is entirely COPIED from that masterpiece anime. I wanted to wait till ...

Kamisama Dolls
(Anime)
add
A very underrated anime ( which forced me to write a rare review).
Kamisama dolls has everything expected of a great, enjoyable and thrilling anime. The story is interesting but it takes a few episodes to get everything going ( probably that is why hasty people rated it low). The story takes a few turns which keeps it interesting, it also has a mystery element attached to it throughout the show which keeps the viewer hooked. One of the strongest point of Kamisama Dolls is its characters. The characters are unique and all have some strong background stories particularly the apparent villain.Viewer gets attached to main characters ...

No long reviews that take all our god-damned time.
Those words hit my head when I started this anime. "It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions.... We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach." Jerome.K.Jerome Did you ever think you will be rooting for man eaters in an anime? If no, then Tokyo Ghoul is here to disprove you. Tokyo Ghoul is one of the best anime this season and it is sure to keep you on your toes. With ... |
