Done with ReLIFE now.


Well... since I'm done with ONE series that's about reintegrating social outcasts into society, it would only be fitting to also finish Welcome to the NHK.
If it's going to be anywhere near as emotional as ReLIFE was... I might actually end up catching up on Asobi Asobase in a single go. I get the feeling that I'll be needing that.

Fair warning, it's a great show and imho a must-watch, but I call it "Cringe: The Anime" since it can get "too real" at times.

But it's a good idea to have a feel-good show queued up, so it seems you're prepared.

PS: It was a bitch to quote this without reading the spoiler, since ReLIFE seems right up my alley.

You've complimented this show so many times, I just had to add it to the pile of "Currently Airing" anime that I'll most definitely watch sometime in the next 100 years.

It's an underdog story on all levels -- from the perceived main character's place in the show to the struggles behind the scenes to produce each episode. And like all good underdog stories, it fairly hums with rebellion and defiance.

But if well-animated girls singing their way through duels on a stage that defies physics bookended by slice-of-life high school drama isn't your thing, then there might not be much to hold onto.

You had me at "animated".

Ok, I gotta admit, Welcome to the NHK is hard to watch. Not because it's bad by any means, but because the opposite is the case. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it. That thing has a really strong emotional impact, in more ways than one. Heck, I might even have to resort to a Flying Witch rewatch after this one (sorry for mentioning that one again, it's just the most relaxing series I know).

Yup. Gotta be quite a trooper for that one...


Btw, out of curiosity, I wanted to see what the Japanese name was for "Flying Witch". Turns out it's "FuRaINGuUicChi". In hiragana.

Yeah that's not the first time I was blindsided by anime like that.

You mentioned watching The Tatami Galaxy...

NHK is similar to that in theme, but is slower, longer, and more depressing. Though I remember getting some genuine laughs out of it, too.

Welcome to the NHK is so far a lot less cringy than what little I saw of watamote. It goes more into a realistic direction and seems to be covering quite a lot of series issues with the main character. That guy has quite some problems and and probably a trauma or a dozen.

As for SAO... watch the abridged series on youtube. It's better than the original. FAR better. I have to admit, I DO watch SAO whenever a new series of it comes out, but only to see how much worse it can get. The recent GGO series was ok, and the first half of the first season of SAO itself was aswell, but it quickly turned into a trainwreck going off-rail to fall down a mountain into a nuclear power plant. I don't wanna go into more details than that.

I recently watched barakamon i think it's called, solid watch right before going to bed.

Don't think anybody mentioned it on here yet.

Peace,

It's been a while since I've seen that one... I liked it. It was nice and relaxed and... crap That just made me remember the fact that I have yet to finish Handa-Kun.
But yeah, Barakamon is is a nice watch, good sol. I feel like it somewhat created the whole "adult taking care of a child" type of series or at the very least made it more popular. We had quite a few of those the last two or so years iirc.

I am not really an avid anime watcher. I've seen some of the movies. I mostly read mangas.

I am kind of surprised Flying Witch got an anime. It is a cute story, but doesn't seem like it would be a good transition to anime.
