Welcome to the NHK: A Better Tomorrow

Welcome to the NHK is one of my favorite shows. It presents one of the most realistic outlooks on struggles of lives. Welcome to the NHK shows just how much people suffer but despite that there is always a way to breakthrough. Welcome to the NHK shows that a better tomorrow is possible not only for all the characters of the show but also for you.

I just finished welcome to the nhk, and as I watched I realized just how much Im living like sato. Im 20, I don't hang out with anyone, sit in my room all day watching youtube and playing games, my room is a mess, and I don't have any purpose or goal in life. I sit around and think "another day gone like nothing". This anime made me get my life together. Room is clean again, I have a part-time job now and I'm currently in the process to join the Canadian Air Force. It's a massive step and I'm very scared about it all but I know that my life is is finally on the right track again :)

[@Fahriya]

That's fantastic to hear. I have managed to get my life a fair bit together since this video. Glad to hear from people who have also done the same. Wish you all the best in the future.

Showing yourself watching Trash Taste in the beginning of your video was just so goddamn relatable. The Trash taste crew may not understand this themselves, but their podcast actually filled the void in a lot of young peoples' lonely hearts, especially during the shutdown phase of the pandemic. They truly did remind us of what a normal conversation between closely knit friends consist of, especially when they all like anime. They showed us what friendship really is.

I am literally watching their latest episode rn (live podcast they did in Asutralia). They are one of my favorite channels.

I already feel like I can relate to the protagonist's struggles. Being born with Autism, even though I am high functioning, I was often ostracized, pigeonholed from the rest of my age group by peers and adults alike merely due to my diagnosis. I was expected to work harder and behave more strictly than the others simply because of my label, while the rest of them got off scot-free. Many of my social skills camps and special education classes were disorderly and dysfunctional, as many of the teachers there were unqualified, unskilled, and neglectful, as they expected us Autists (and other Neurodivergents) to figure things out on our own though we were still kids, rather than taking responsibility themselves for our development. I was conditioned to be self-conscious of my mental disorder, and overly caring about what others think of me in the name of self-improvement. I was taught that if I was disliked or mistreated, that I was doing something socially unacceptable. In a manner of speaking, I was set up to fail in my youth. In 10th grade, I was bullied for my Autism relentlessly. They called me a retard day in and day out. They used my Autism as a scapegoat to blame me for their problems, as an excuse for them to to target me, saying that it was my Autism that started it, and gaslighted me that my Autism was making me hallucinate their abuse. Whenever I went to the adults for help, the bullies would usually say, "He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a retard." Whenever I did something kind, they'd punish me for it. Whenever I did something self-destructive, they'd commend me for it. Whenever I did something acceptable, they'd try to persuade me that it was socially unacceptable and so forth. Up was down, black was white, good was bad, day was night. I was questioning my sanity, my moral compass, my judgement, my mentality, and my memory. Even when they sexually assaulted me in the showers, the adults took no measure to bring them to justice. In fact, the adults did NOTHING, no matter how much I begged and cried to them for help. Rather than taking responsibility and addressing the situation head on, they'd only ask me what I could do to improve the situation without their help. In my case, it was nothing; I could only avoid them. But since I was at a boarding school in the middle of the woods, I had nowhere else to go. These kids were unhinged, if anything the adults were afraid of them. One of them threatened to kill me and another nearly broke my door down to steal my guitar. They even took advantage of the adults own mental illness, like when the art teacher was back from maternity leave, they use her mood swings to get her to side with them and blame me for their own problems. But the worst thing they did, but blackmail my only friend there to betray me, just like Kaworu. I was very suicidal that year, and wished I was never born. To this day, I still suffer PTSD from being psychologically abused by my peers and staff alike. Even as an adult, I was still mistreated by fellow adults. I can't help but feel paranoid that some people are out to get me, as I've been stalked, doxed, and threatened to be hunted down and killed by people online who wished me grievous harm since Lockdown. I want to watch this anime, but I am afraid of being triggered and spiraling into a relapse. Can anyone help?

[@DaTLMusic]

Dont think that trash taste is a normal conversation. It is done with the fact in mind that millions of people will see theur conversation. Plus they interrupt eachother WAY too much

[@solitarycrow]

@@DaTLMusic Well, I do agree that they do have to be aware of how the audience may feel. But, the way they intermingle both daily life and anime is just too much like how a group of friends, who are anime fans, would talk during a hangout.

One of most realistic anime out there. It has real life issues that doesn't solve it in a fairly tale way. I actually cry after watching the first time. It help me with my loneliness and there is more to life. I didn't really have friends grow up because of my intellectual disability. My IQ was kind low. It like 60 - 70. Never fit in with the crowd or people around me. I try to make friends even in community college. I quit after getting my associate degree. I didn't want back to finish my bachelor. Why go to college if you're not doing anything with it. It took my 4 years to get a two years degree. I just volunteered around the community living on disability payments. Now, living in a retirement home with no life prospects still no girlfriend.

I am sorry to hear that. Life really does suck sometimes. And I know that my shallow-sounding words of encouragement won't do much for you so all I'll tell you is that I'm hoping that whatever your future holds is positive. At the end of the day our lives can change so suddenly.

[@Fahriya]

I am so sorry you went through all of this. Nobody deserves this kind of treatment and I hope you are doing at least a little better now. NHK mainly focuses on the main character's hardships of trying to get out of his shut-in ways but constantly failing. However, one big thing to note here is that suicide is extensively discussed in this show and if that could potentially trigger you I would not recommend watching NHK. Halfway through the show, NHK becomes really dark and if you are in a mentally unstable state and depressed I think it's best to stay away from this show, even if the show has some hopeful messages and ultimately ends on a promising note.

[@hawkeyenextgen7117]

@@Fahriya and that’s exactly why I want to be able to view this show without being triggered, to embrace the show’s hopeful and promising moral, to feel it resonate with me without being criticized by anime fans on social media for being a “wimp” or a “pussy” or a “manchild for being unable to handle an anime like a grown man. I’ve seen so many comments on KZbin regarding how this anime was able to change people’s lives with its heavy themes, which makes no sense, how were people who claimed to be depressed or mentally unstable able to heal themselves by watching NHK when you say it could trigger me instead? I used this same tactic when I tried watching Neon Genesis Evangelion based on the reviews in the hopes it would heal me from my depression during Lockdown, but it made it much worse, and because it did the fandom accused me of faking it, and I thought I was going insane. It just makes no sense. I too am a shut in, or at least, I want to be. Because I just want to be left alone, and learn to be ok with myself being alone, as I have anxiety. But feel I must go outside my room as my parents constantly pressure to even though I’m afraid.

I finished welcome to the NHK yesterday and it really hits so hard. As you said, it's an open-ended ending. Nothing really significant changed about Satou's life, and yet he'll carry on, slowly gaining some form of understanding of life. It's wonderful how slow and uneventful the whole series is and how little Satou changes until he's basically forced to. It's very realistic. Whatever the case, great video, your editing and personal story contributed a lot to resonate even more with the themes of the story.

[@casualgamers3369]

I have a comment about 11:00 in the subject about fear and change. I find it's like a wheelbarrow in a rut that keeps getting deeper the more it's run along the same path. It get harder and more painful to deviate from the beaten path. The only way out hast to be change itself.

[@sykezera]

Seeing someone that watched the show and finished an quite important objective (your video), made me feel inspired (i'm a fresh writter and also feel interest in making videos, one of them being about nhk) and i respect you. We may keep living struggling against our minds and fighting the toxic comfort zones ocasionally but we are capable of deal with it in our own way. Nice video, congrats :D

[@dhirajpallin2572]

I think your understanding of the show is very good. Some reviewers try to apply an oversimplistic moral to the show or the ending, saying that the cure to all Sato's problems was simply to go out and get a shitty council job, when you can see in the show that he still looks wrecked every day doing it.The show is more subtle than that, it's simply a cathartic, relatable view on life. It's healthy to be able to laugh at how crazy life is. You also picked up on the fact that Sato doesn't actually believe in conspiracies, it seems more like just part of his dark sense of humour. Like he finds the idea of believing in a conspiracy to explain his life's woes amusing. I think Sato has a very dry sense of humour. Also you are quite a talented writer -- your essay flows well.

[@rageratz]

Wow I just finished welcome to the nhk and what you said was perfect. The ambiguity of the future and the fears it may hold, based off the direction we decide to steer our lives really hit. I’m in college now and every now and then the fear of the unknown arises. Along with the self doubts that follow my previous decisions which got me to where I am now leave me anxious to where I will be. But I feel as long as we strive for something, the effort is enough to propel ourselves into a better future. Amazing video!

Welcome to the NHK was the first anime I stumbled upon (that wasn't Dragon Ball, Naruto, Yugioh, etc.) Even all these years later, it still hits hard. What you were saying hit home. It's been... 14 years I think, since I saw this anime. When I first watched it, I was just about to finish up high school. I started college, made friends, did the things I was supposed to do. Eventually though, it all faded away. I'm no closer to being where I wanted to be. If anything it's getting farther away each and every day. But I think Welcome to the NHK offers something more than just a dour look at life. It offers hope for the future. Hope that, even if you fail time and time again, maybe something will happen that will kick you in the pants and move you towards what you want to be. It's a tough process, painful even. Still, it's important to keep trying. Life isn't altered in a single moment. It's a hundred little changes that lead to somewhere better.

[@sonicfraisheya4028]

i like that even once you get out of that unemployment phase, the cycle comes again once you got used to the job you are doing, you can be kinda afraid to once again change, and then cycle comes in again in others parts of life besides just job and work, relationships, responsibilites. but what you have to do is just take that step, fall or rise . that phase of your life will not start new uinless you take the step, time will catch up to you.

[@peanutbutterjellyicecream]

I randomly found this video and it inspired me to make a welcome to the NHK movie

[@ElRinconDeAlguien]

This anime has coincided with a phase of my life that I have been living since I finished university. I will tell some of my personal story. I studied a university degree for 5 and a half years for which I have not wanted to work, for various reasons, such as fear of the professional world of work, fear of entering the rat race, fear of being a person with no direction in life other than eating. , shit, work and sleep. I have been going to a psychologist since the beginning of the year, and my NHK has been my parents, since I have felt that they have restricted my freedom, my existence, and that they have applied psychological locks on me that prevent me from leaving a mediocre existence. I finished the academy in January, during February and March I finished my project to obtain my degree, in April and until the end of May I did my professional internship. Of course I wanted some time to rest and for myself, after years studying a career for which I sacrificed so much, so much time, staying up until dawn studying, anxiety crises, existential crises, vocational crises, having had depression and having taken drugs to try to study and succeed. But finally, that time has extended to almost 6 months in a couple of weeks. Since I started this “vacation”, in which I have a job on Saturdays and Sundays, I started this anime, without knowing the plot of hikkikomori, without knowing what I would find, and it has definitely been quite a journey. I have been immersed in a journey with the protagonist, and although I have been going to therapy since the beginning of the year, I have not been able to dig through my shit, and I have not made an attempt to take my life in my hands. It's been really warm to watch this journey, comparing myself to Satou, my friends to Yamasaki, and frustrated at not having a Misaki in my life, not to fix me, but to feel like I had an existence just as poetic as them, since despite being miserable and unsuccessful, their life is poetic, with situations that enter poetic memory (Milan Kundera's concept), and that can now be called with the "cinema" meme. From obsessing over anime, trying to fix my resume countless times, applying for jobs without getting calls, crying because I'm miserable and looking for someone to blame, taking courses to improve my resume, and having my psychologist scold me for not being in the gym properly, and me justifying myself to my NHK who are my parents. We are all Satou-kun, we can also all become a Yamasaki in someone's life, you could want to save someone and be a Misaki-chan, you can be the person who lives suffocated from reality but who finally finds happiness with someone like Sempai, or the president who got into a pyramid scheme, or her brother... We are all of them and we play some role, and we must at some point stop running away and take life into our hands. Now it's 11 in the morning on November 8, 2023, in an hour I have an appointment with my psychologist, I will tell him about this anime. I believe that if I take my life in my hands, take responsibility for my decisions, and regret my decisions and failures, I will be able to continue growing. And also that as my parents continue to support me at 24 years old I change, and improve my physical condition, and strengthen my friendship ties, and get a job that I studied for so many years. I can grow. I can get out of this. I can do it. Satou's character could achieve it, why not me? End of reflection… But before we finish, one last thing. It has been quite an adventure to be as miserable as the protagonist, since it is real. He is not a mass murderer, he did not go to an isekai, he does not have dragons or maid robots, he is not a detective in a cyberpunk world or anything like that, but a character who lives in the real world, or who tries to be, and that from his misery, he manages to climb out of it and get out of it. I can do it too… I can do it.

Hey Fahriya, Welcome to the NHK is an amazing anime. This video is touching -- hits close to home. The line where you say, " I just spent another hour in a fictional world ..."

Both the original and sequel were beyond dazzling. Well, take care.

[@Fahriya]

Thank you! Living in my head or in a constant state of daydreaming has negative consequences. I often realize that I miss out on things in the moment because I don't even feel present and then later on I get nostalgic realizing how precious those moments were. It's sad.

[@HikikomoriJavi]

@@Fahriya Hey there, Fahriya. I daydream quite a bit too. Daydreaming felt like it was the only thing I had for such a long time. In a way, it's beautiful to get all the things I yearn for in my mind by daydreaming about it. If you are experiencing negative consequences ( of constant daydreaming ) and feel like you miss out on certain things and don't feel present. I hope you make time for yourself to be more present and feel connected with whatever experience you want to have. Whatever it is you're yearning for -- I hope you get it. I get lost in cinema a bit and then daydream about the narrative of me living those lives or make scenarios in my head about them. I recently saw 3 films by the director: Wong Kar-wai. All 3 films I adore now, all 3 films are somewhat melancholic, and I'm drawn to that type of theme. Chungking Express was the first I saw of those films. It left an impression, stayed with me for days, then I daydreamed about that movie for days. The other 2 films, Fallen Angles and In the Mood for Love, are also amazing. You know, I roam the internet a bit ( a lot ), I find myself wandering websites and random stuff all the time. I noticed you have your Twitter attached in the description and looked around a few weeks ago, and took note that you too have watched a show titled: Bocchi the Rock, one word: amazing!

[@nigelblack2138]

I couldn't finish the show, tried reading it and hasn't progressed either, it's a hard watch, and I don't think I ever will or would want to, it's a bit much.

[@Fahriya]

It is definitely not for everyone. It's one of those shows where if you don't relate to at least one of the main characters, you'll probably be bored.

Have you seen Audition (1999)? Its the greatest Japanese horror film ever made And its not even THAT Horror

Can you suggest more anime like this?

[@Fahriya]

There is no anime that is very similar to Welcome to the NHK. But what part of the anime you want to see in other shows? If it's about depression and redemption I could recommend "March Comes in Like a Lion" for trauma, depression and being clueless about your life the manga "Goodnight Punpun" is great... although very heavy. If you have any specific desires for a recommendation please let me know.
