About the Anime: (by Wikipedia)

Welcome to the N.H.K. revolves around the lives of several young-adults all living in or around the city of Tokyo. Many different lifestyles are shown though most of the time the story focuses on the concepts of being a hikikomori, anime otaku, and having most of the characters experience intense feelings of depression and loneliness.

My Review: I cried so much during this. Like, I'm lucky I didn't drown.

As some of you may remember, I mentioned this in my seventh review, so it's taken me quite a long time to finish this (even though it's roughly 8 hours long and I started it on July 2nd)...

But, I suddenly began to watch it again and didn't want to stop. It's so wonderful.

This is definitely worth watching and, for me, I think this could be one of the best anime shows ever.

Words can't even express how amazing this is. Everything about this is perfect.
