Editorial Reviews

Meet Satou Tatsuhiro, a 22 year-old hermit who thinks that a secret organization known as the N.H.K. is out to fill the world with reclusive adolescents like himself, also known as hikikomori. Now they’ve upped the ante by using media to turn unsuspecting viewers into otaku, and Satou becomes determined to stop the N.H.K. There’s only one problem-he’s too frightened to even go outdoors!

Was shipped in great condition and with a lot of security on it for protection of the box. Arrived in a very quick time and was not disappointed. Would buy from again

I first become aware of this title through reading the novel of the same name. I bought NHK #2 with the artbox , and it is relivaly sturdy. Onto NHK #2, while there some funny moments, the series as a whole pretty dark. I like how the animation is used to highlight the main carther's emotional state.

This review is from: Welcome to the NHK, Vol. 2 (with Box) (DVD)

While the characters and story have yet to win me over, the pace at which they are moving forward is hard to ignore. While the comedy rarely made me laugh out loud, I did get enough chuckles from the writing to be interested in exploring more. I'm not enthusiastic about this series but so far it hasn't shown any reason not to move forward with it. This is really coming across as a series that won't be for everyone though and casual anime fans will probably get lost in all the cultural references. Make this one a rental.
