Sato was not relatable because he is an asshole, it is impressive how badly he treats misaki through the show. What i love about the show the most was the summer, lonely atmosphere of it, the ost and what it intended to be, but not being sympathetic to sato sours it somewhat. Still a quality "slice of life style" of anime and for that it is likable and great

this was a cute and heartfelt ending. it actually was inspiring for me. i have to find a job and seek help for me. it was weird to comment on every episode even tho. im not that much of a great reviewer, and doing it like this isnt helpful. but it fun making it (for me at least). i give this anime a very strong 9/10. i hope this anime helped someone. it definitely helped me.

The whole anime is great but the ending hit me in the head. I felt very intense emotions during last 2 episodes even though I'm not a NEET and never was one - quite far away from it, actually...

Well, I guess everyone needs it's own Misaki in this world...

I enjoyed watching this it was funny asl in the beginning but in the end it became more grounded to reality Satoru and Yamazaki didn’t end up succeeding and making that hentai empire and raking in the cash even tho I would’ve loved to see it ๐Ÿคฃ and ironically Yamazaki ended up doing what was written on that paper that planned out his life and didn’t end up with his childhood friend who he loved so much instead ending up with another partner symbolizing that life goes on and that not all of our hopes will come true but it doesn’t mean we still can’t hope in the end the world will keep moving forward and it’s up to us if we decide to move with it or get left behind…

I really enjoyed this episode and I'm glad it didn't end with a super joyful ending. Although I do wish they ended up together or atleast specified if they did but I guess that would contradict what I previously said lol.

Those wanting a 'happy ending' are missing the point. This anime gets as close to real life as this art form will get. For every 1000 slice of life animes, we get one of these. It's almost like this flew too close to the sun and we can't get more.

I'm also wondering if Misaki isn't imaginary in the sense that she definitely lives up on that hill and Satou meets her with the missionary aunt. However, the version of Misaki that is 'saving' Satou is the one he makes up in his mind. The real Misaki never does any of those things.

Well this anime was truly something. I really liked the wide cast of enjoyable characters and this ending really sealed the deal. Overall this show was nice, the story of Tatsuhiro Sato the hikikomori on the journey to getting his life back on track accompanied by highschool friends and new faces alike.

The cast of characters is most definitely the highlight in my opinion and this ending which not only showed us Sato's but the others as well was nice. Though I do wish we got a little bit more of the blonde/brown hair highschool classmate of Sato and her brother.

@bubba460z yeah exactly!!! the episode in which Sato talks to the brother through the MMO game was my absolute favourite, it perfectly captures the main themes of the anime (and it was just really fun in general imo)

Decent anime, good end anime that you want to watch when your life is so intense, makes you relax a bit, excited, but not boring. I loved how the draw style is so simple and how the characters are a quiet insane and just like that.......................... byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Last episode was incredible, it was the bond bewteen misaki and saoto. I think its a bit toxic bewteen the 2 but I think near the end they both evolve into people who are actually decent human beings. And seeing saoto although. he hates it, work a job is a very cool thing. Also peak anime. really nice

Does this mean the vast majority of its audience are hikikomori who wanted to be saved just like this dude?

That was incredible, I'm so glad I decided to watch this anime. Sato and Misaki both saved each other and now with their contract signed, they can escape from the N.H.K. together.

I can only speak for myself as a 22-year-old hikikomori like Sato, but being able to relate definitely helped my enjoyment.

It was just.. amazing. i love misaki <3 she deserves sm better, wish there was a season 2 :(
Well this was quite a good time, although i found most parts of the anime rather depressing than comedic, i'd say it was worth it.
I also found myself relating to Satou many times, unfortunately. But yeah i really enjoyed this show :)
9/10 would recommend.

I think the whole Misaki thing would've greatly benefited if it was introduced earlier. This way it felt too abrupt and melodramatic. I like the ending, Satou escaped the hikikomori lifestyle, but his new life is just mundane with a regular job. Really glad the story didn't go with something extravagant.

Amazing anime, I thought I'd come here to the comments section and see other people discussing the anime's symbolism, but.... Everyone's talking about how a kiss scene was missing. Seriously? The anime never intended to be a comedy anime, for the people who say that Sarau lost interest in Misaki after the first half of the anime, you're right, don't you remember that she said that Sarau only serves to make her feel better seeing his shitty situation, did you forget that? It was from there that Sarau lost his lust for Misaki, honestly the ending of the anime was even generous to her.

Eu amo esse anime, de muitas formas, ainda tenho uma ressalvas nele, mas sinto que esse fim é necessario e ate se faz como bom em certa parte, nao era exatamente oque eu esperava, mas é oque eu posso entender e aceitar sobre, é um pequeno passo de superação, mas so de voce deixar de estar parado, ja é uma otima coisa
