I've just finished watching the anime "Welcome to the NHK".. what started out as a desire to find out what other songs were sung by "Round Table" (the same ppl who sang 'Let me be with you' the OP theme from Chobits), became an insatiable curiosity to find out more about this storyline.. eventually i got my hands on the manga.. and the 24 episodes too.. and gosh.. its probably one of the most memorable animes in my opinion..
"I am a loser. The world hates me. I am a good for nothing. I am so pathetic…but it’s not of my own doing. There must be some extraordinary secret organisation conspiring to cause misery in our insignificant lives."
"It’s never our fault."
The story revolves around a character named Satou, who for some reasons isolated himself from all contact with the world, and lives alone in his own apartment as a "Hikikomori", ultimately coming to the bizarre conclusion that this happened due to some sort of conspiracy. One day just when his life seems entirely unchanging, he meets Misaki Nakahara, a mysterious girl who claims to be able to cure Tatsuhiro of his hikikomori ways.
There're quite a number of touching moments in this anime.. a number of depressed/emo moments.. some touching scenes, and a bit of that "obsessiveness" in things i'm starting to grow fond of... I admit, i did cry at a couple of the scenes in this series.. although i admit, this probably isn't an anime to watch if you're looking to relax and enjoy.. it sorta disarmed me.. hit me with things i haven't thought of before.. overall it was a sad story, but one that i was addicted to.. i wanted to know more with each passing episode.. perhaps... because it reflected a part of me in it..
so yea.. my mood was sorta affected the rest of the day cuz of it.. but i don't have any regrets.. Love this anime to bits.. ^^
Maybe.. i was really more of an introvert than i'd admit..
