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

Heard many good things about the manga, haven't checked it out myself. Seems like it'll have plenty of comedy and parody, so most of you should like it.

Episode 1 released by ADTRW:
http://raspberryheaven.net/~adtrw/to..._ADTRW.torrent


"Based on a novel by Takimoto Tatsuhiko, turned into a manga with illustration by Ooiwa Kenji.

Japanese shut-ins, loli h-games and conspiracies, oh my!

The existence of the evil organization of "NHK", I happened to find it. All the reasons why I dropped out from the university, being unemployed and a "Hikikomori" - homicidal young person - are due to NHK`s conspiracy. I`ll keep fighting till the day I will beat the vice organization.

But one day, an assassin from a religious group, shows up to kill me. She is a neat and beautiful girl, Misaki-chan, with a parasol. Who is she? What can save our future contaminated with eroticism, violence and drugs? Love, courage, or friendship?

This is an ultimate non-stop Hikikomori Action Comic!"

I'm jumping on this if it's anything like Genshiken.

NHK - 02 by ADTRW

I thought hhis came out a while ago, but since i sleep so little i'm blurring the days togeather. Anyway, Enjoy!

Oyasumi also released episode 02. Get it here.

NHK - 03

Not a lot of discussion in here. :( It's too bad, I thikn this shoow is great. It's unlike anyhting I've seen before in the directing. The odd angles and psychedelic cutscenes all feel very smooth and fluid to me and they keep me drawn into the story well. I didn't think Satou would merge so fluidly with the erotica world, though it's not that surprising...I did, (as did many of you, though most would never admit it). The thing I like about this guy is that he's so like something I could see myslef as that I'm curious to see wheather he will make the choices I would make.

Case in point, I definately jepoardized system resources for anime when i first started dling fansubs and DVD Rips (and porn), I know a few guys on the irc channel who run with 1-3% free space with all they stuff they have...(get a DVD Burner darkshadow!).

The moral is...WATCH NHK!

EDIT: @ time 16:55 when Yamazaki is scolding Satou for his massive porn collection it wasn't 12 Gigs it was 120 (from Oyasumi IRC channel)

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.

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 :D (he's the kind of eat-sleep-anime/game person.. no school, work or whatever :p)

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

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
*must erase bad mental image*

Welcome to #4 by Oyasumi

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.

NHK 5 from Oyasumi

Episode 6 From Oyasumi.

I liked those last two eps... the show seems more mature.
