Oooh... I also just remembered I watched it all on YouTube... and HD version that cut the OP and the ED .-. My bad... I own it all on DVD, but I still haven't watched it (still in rapping, too...) because it's all the way at my mom's house in Cali.
I'll believe you........ for now........ jk.... I believe you....
i love both versions of this song, but i think the original intro worked better with the opening animation... just my opinion, but i still love both either way :3
No one can really say which version is better or worse; it's like comparing apples and oranges. That's probably why this is called "Extra Hot Mix". Food becomes completely different when you add spice or take it away, but it doesn't necessarily make it better/worse. It's all a matter of opinion. (Although I think they got the spice part backwards for the song -- this version tastes more mild to me.)
@IcedCandies Yeah, This one seems more mellow compared to the original. The trumpets gave it "hop up out of bed" feeling. This is more a "whispering voice in your head" - To me anyhow.
@drifter402 I actually feel that what makes Puzzle such a good song is the chord progression, melody, and the inherent groove present throughout the entire song. The horn section in the original just added some nice flair. The electric guitar added in this version gives it a more relaxed / chill vibe which I really like. To each their own though.
@IsilionNELE isn't the purpose of humor undermine'd by dragging in those without an interest?
after all, why should I be obligated to bother with your jokes, that you yourself impose in reaction to my comments? and beyond that, your joke was disappointing to boot.
@suzabi not at all. i only jested to amuse myself in a moment of boredom, therefore its purpose was not undermined at all. as for dragging you in, most people aren't bothered such trivial tnings as a silly youtube comment. i certainly didn't intend to start such a tug of war -.-
but your comments amuse me as well, so the original comment continues to be successful :p
well wow what a complacited love story between sato ma misaki in both the anime and the manga it really was great misaki really is great and sato is lucky man in both the manga and anime he had issuess but more so in the manga and in the manga she has a lot of compassion 4 him the anime should have gotten in to more detail of how much compassion she had 4 him
what can i say its a little bittersweet i finished the manga and the anime its a little sad I cant enough man the wirter of the manga and anime really have atalent to make u want more
i use to be an hikikomori before my junior year of high school ever sense then my hikikomori life style kind of went away but enough about me this anime is amazing has a great life lesson
ending could have been better but that would have been fan servicing. but this anime is exactly what slice of life is, you cant have everything to happen for you. you just have to change your perspective on life to be just a little happier. sad but true :(
@biggiecjay True, but I'd wanna know of there are anymore animes like this? Cause It was certainly a slice of life, it kinda described my otaku hikimori life :D
Hmmmmm, I think you'd like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
It's far more.... trippy than this Anime though.
I know it's a month late, but, try it out if you haven't already. Make sure you watch it in the correct (non-chronological kyon told order). It's a much better story that way.
I've seen the melancholy of haruhi, I thought it was good, but in a way this is better, in the genre "slice of life" ^^ the season 2 of haruhi is pretty messed up, don't u think? that made me feel down ~~"
@Leafshinoby I already told you, I'm boycotting the second season.
I've refused to watch it, for the first couple months after I finished haruhi, I thought I wanted a second season. But in musing, I realized that I really, really, really did not. That Suzumiya was amazing, and any sequel would just not measure up, especially if I had to wait an extended period of time.
This anime is closer to a real life, slice of life, than Suzumiya. No arguments.
Welcome to the NHK is 3-4 in a list of my favorite animes. The list is rather hazy. The top 2 are my only ones that are actually defined in my head. Higurashi, then Suzumiya.
No gtfoagal!! this is better!! Anime with real life themes are always better!! Everything up til now is made possible by science, and logic!! Knowledge are power!!
@Cyllid Second served more purposes than just viewing material, thats why it was so odd. I mean the company has always been very experimental. First season was originally broadcast OUT OF ORDER, so the episodes were all wacky. this time they decided to improve their art, try different VA (or improve the originals) and truely give the FEEL of an endless summer through the Endless Eight. If you notice the acting and art get better each episode. I still love it
@Kelzakian Yeah, I figured that's what they were doing, still didn't like it.
But if you didn't watch Haruhi (1st season obv) out of order, then you really, really, missed out. and got a weird story that went straight to the climax, and fell down for the rest of the anime.
It's not like they went through an entire story, then after creating it all, shuffle the episodes, they were designed to be viewed out of order.
The story is based on the creators life, read the book! While fan service is awesome, I don't feel it was right for this anime. That feeling you have where you want to see them together, is exactly what the creator was trying to impart. ^^b
dam ont think my comment went through...Yeah it's pretty great, most realistic anime I've seen, already at ep 20...it's great how it's awkward at one moment, funny as hell the next, and sad right after...first anime I've ever seen that is this close to reality
OMFG another anime that end's the same dam way as Fate Stay Night...I heard that the Manga end differently so Imma start readin that soon...other than the letdown of an ending it was a great anime, can't beleive that someone found a song that goes so well with it like "Real World" by the All American Rejects, on veoh (where I watched it) whoever made the video added that song to the beginning of it and I think that's what dragged me into the show, after the first ep I got hooked though XP
it's about Mages who are supposed to compete for a Holy Grail and summon a servant to help them...one guy summons a servant without knowing and gets pulled into the Holy Grail War, kinda based on the story of Kind Aurthor, still a nice anime even with an ending like this one where it keeps you wanting more...worth watching if you're into fighting/comedy/romance stories
It's slice of life / comedy / drama. It is the story of a hikikomori (indoor hermit) who meets an old school friend as his neighbor (yamazaki) and a "random" girl (miyazaki). I won't go into spoilers but it's worth watching every episode! PM me if you want a link to a high quality streaming site that I just recently found. Enjoy!
if there's gonna be a 2nd season it'll prolly be "Welcome back to the NHK" or something like "Esaping the NHK" hopin for a 2nd season also, the manga is finished so I doubt there will be another one cause of how different the anime is from the manga...still both are great
simply awesome anime.I found really amazing the similarities between me ,yamazaki and satou.
I don´t go out with other people at all.the few times when people called me to hang out with them , i don´t know why , but i usually felt no will at all to go out.But i ended up regretting it later...There were a few girls that were interested in me(they were actually really pretty,and from families with nice status).But i was so dumb and didn´t notice a few and turned down others...(continuation)
I wish a girl like Misaki existed in real life and would change my hikkikomori life around.
Then again, he still wasn't a Hikkikomori, he just stopped being a NEET and got a job, but he still is hikkikomori, but nothings wrong with being hikki, it's just the Japanese word for anti-social.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
...what? I know a girl whos like misaki... she pretty young doesent know how to talk to guys because her attention span is like 3 seconds and has a borderline personality disorder... other then that shes super cute, want her myspace?
Not really, that translation is close but anti-social implies that the person in question does not wish to have a form of social relationship. A hikokimori however, could wish to be with friends but have a social phobia which instead leads him/her to isolate him/herself.
Each version has its merits, which is why I posted the Extra Hot Mix because it wasn't posted before. I think they are both great but they each carry their own flare that freaking ROCKS!
the anime is actually based on welcome to the nhk the novel written by tatsuhiro takimoto so i doubt they could continue even if they wanted to. If there was a sequel then that would be different. Still, very good anime and a good novel also.
I loved this anime. It pulled me into it because there really wasn't a plot to it. It was based on how life is, or a "piece of life" storyline. Kind of disappointing when it ended. They should have made a 2nd season. *sighs*, the memories.
I agree to your comment! welcome to the N.H.K is a masterpiece... entertaining though sophisticated at the same time... I personally loved the sucidal island episodes... so funny and touching T.T
unfortunately, there are lots of anime & manga which shouldnt end the ways they end...
Yeah I guess so, but the good ones always end early. I guess if it is too long, it just loses it's touch, like Bleach, Naruto, hell even Detective Conan.
personally, I think it's for the best that it ended, because the quality of the show usually declines the more seasons there are (they start to run out of ideas)
It's not that they run out of ideas, but the fact that it is not crisp, new, fresh, already kills the anime, it is better to end as a young legacy, then to end like a disgrace.
Depends. If your a Sci-Fi fan, then you have different ideals then that of a Romantic Comedy fan. How I see it, a long lasting Anime does not have a permanent plot, or a continuous journey; it is a piece of life. Yet an Anime like Naruto, with a consistent plot, will likely to become repetitive over a shorter span of time when compared to a piece of life. To avoid this, an Anime must keep the plot steady, and keep them entertained. Take Bobobo bobobobo for example.
It ends the way it ends to show that even when good things do come along, nothing lasts forever. It's a very realistic ending for an anime, almost too realistic for the medium but I loved every bit.
I believe one reason we watch anime is not for the realism, but for the fact we can relate to it. The ending wasn't really an ending. It was a "beginning to beginning" kind of ending, where they allow you to infer what were to happen, based on our knowledge. Just saying "Welcome to the NHK", wouldn't make it complete, I just have this feeling something else should have happened.
hehe, because of this anime ive learned: What a NEET is, a Hikamori, how conspiracies really work, how to never fall for a pyramid scheme, and how doujinshi games are made...
And they told me i'd never learn shit from watching anime all day-Kya bitches, ive been educated.
You don't remember the episode where Satou become a peeping Tom? Or the episode where they helped the hikkikomori who was really absorbed in his video game get back into the workforce? Or the episodes where Satou becomes a huge otaku that spends all his time playing galge?
No, he got angry because of your flawed grammar and typing skills.
Welcome to the NHK is about depression. It was in the afterword of the Novel, written by the author. He wrote it based on his own life troubles, and is embarrassed whenever he reads it (or so he says).
The novel spawned the manga, which spawned the anime.
oooo your so SmArT!!~~ with such SUPERIOR tPYing and grammEr skills!!!! Clap Clap.
here's a cookie.
aNyways, for a master of tPYing and grammEr, you are pretty stupid. tHere are no indications that kidmangaX was mad due my grammar/typos. If I'm wrong, pleaseeee enlingthen me with your insights!
And are you denying that "Welcome to the NHK" doesn't have human miseries as one of the main themes? Because depression is an aspect of human misery.
I never said human misery, it was completely about hikikomori life, and how it affects not only the hikikomori, but the people AROUND the hikikomori.
And that it can depress the people related to them.
I don't care about my typing and grammar skills. I learn grammar in English, and typing in Admin. I just don't like it when people try to insult other people. KidMangaX didn't get angry, but you insulted his posting abilities. So I retaliated with 1 sentence.
You just insulted at least one person. Go on religion forum, etc.
All these people are sad eh?
I guess you must hate yourself now?
You are quite the hypocrite.
Well this is losing its fun, make your next post more interesting admin. and that mature act is so old. is used commonly by idiots when they lack the intelligence to argue properly.

it's about Mages who are supposed to compete for a Holy Grail and summon a servant to help them...one guy summons a servant without knowing and gets pulled into the Holy Grail War, kinda based on the story of Kind Aurthor, still a nice anime even with an ending like this one where it keeps you wanting more...worth watching if you're into fighting/comedy/romance stories

It's slice of life / comedy / drama. It is the story of a hikikomori (indoor hermit) who meets an old school friend as his neighbor (yamazaki) and a "random" girl (miyazaki). I won't go into spoilers but it's worth watching every episode! PM me if you want a link to a high quality streaming site that I just recently found. Enjoy!

if there's gonna be a 2nd season it'll prolly be "Welcome back to the NHK" or something like "Esaping the NHK" hopin for a 2nd season also, the manga is finished so I doubt there will be another one cause of how different the anime is from the manga...still both are great

simply awesome anime.I found really amazing the similarities between me ,yamazaki and satou.
I don´t go out with other people at all.the few times when people called me to hang out with them , i don´t know why , but i usually felt no will at all to go out.But i ended up regretting it later...There were a few girls that were interested in me(they were actually really pretty,and from families with nice status).But i was so dumb and didn´t notice a few and turned down others...(continuation)

It's such a great loss without the trumpets and the violins. The electric guitar adds little or nothing at all to this music.

I wish a girl like Misaki existed in real life and would change my hikkikomori life around.
Then again, he still wasn't a Hikkikomori, he just stopped being a NEET and got a job, but he still is hikkikomori, but nothings wrong with being hikki, it's just the Japanese word for anti-social.

...what? I know a girl whos like misaki... she pretty young doesent know how to talk to guys because her attention span is like 3 seconds and has a borderline personality disorder... other then that shes super cute, want her myspace?
ouren 2 years ago
Not really, that translation is close but anti-social implies that the person in question does not wish to have a form of social relationship. A hikokimori however, could wish to be with friends but have a social phobia which instead leads him/her to isolate him/herself.

Each version has its merits, which is why I posted the Extra Hot Mix because it wasn't posted before. I think they are both great but they each carry their own flare that freaking ROCKS!

the anime is actually based on welcome to the nhk the novel written by tatsuhiro takimoto so i doubt they could continue even if they wanted to. If there was a sequel then that would be different. Still, very good anime and a good novel also.

I loved this anime. It pulled me into it because there really wasn't a plot to it. It was based on how life is, or a "piece of life" storyline. Kind of disappointing when it ended. They should have made a 2nd season. *sighs*, the memories.
PinoyFlash 2 years ago
I agree to your comment! welcome to the N.H.K is a masterpiece... entertaining though sophisticated at the same time... I personally loved the sucidal island episodes... so funny and touching T.T
unfortunately, there are lots of anime & manga which shouldnt end the ways they end...

Yeah I guess so, but the good ones always end early. I guess if it is too long, it just loses it's touch, like Bleach, Naruto, hell even Detective Conan.

personally, I think it's for the best that it ended, because the quality of the show usually declines the more seasons there are (they start to run out of ideas)

cwlithium 2 years ago
It's not that they run out of ideas, but the fact that it is not crisp, new, fresh, already kills the anime, it is better to end as a young legacy, then to end like a disgrace.
PinoyFlash 2 years ago
So, can i ask you want and good idea for an anime is?
flareaman123 2 years ago
Depends. If your a Sci-Fi fan, then you have different ideals then that of a Romantic Comedy fan. How I see it, a long lasting Anime does not have a permanent plot, or a continuous journey; it is a piece of life. Yet an Anime like Naruto, with a consistent plot, will likely to become repetitive over a shorter span of time when compared to a piece of life. To avoid this, an Anime must keep the plot steady, and keep them entertained. Take Bobobo bobobobo for example.
PinoyFlash 2 years ago
It ends the way it ends to show that even when good things do come along, nothing lasts forever. It's a very realistic ending for an anime, almost too realistic for the medium but I loved every bit.
greg3562 2 years ago 2
I believe one reason we watch anime is not for the realism, but for the fact we can relate to it. The ending wasn't really an ending. It was a "beginning to beginning" kind of ending, where they allow you to infer what were to happen, based on our knowledge. Just saying "Welcome to the NHK", wouldn't make it complete, I just have this feeling something else should have happened.

To anyone here fighting over Misaki: You're just as bad as Satou is...she's not real. Hasn't this anime taught you anything?
KidMangaX 3 years ago
i frankly don't care about misaki and whatnot.
but i dont see the connection b/w satou and sticking to one's belief to redeem a character.
its actually different from satou. Satou chose to run away, people fighting are not running away.
and point of nhk wasn't don't spend too much time in fantasy or virtual world....
blackocean 3 years ago
You don't remember the episode where Satou become a peeping Tom? Or the episode where they helped the hikkikomori who was really absorbed in his video game get back into the workforce? Or the episodes where Satou becomes a huge otaku that spends all his time playing galge?
Have you even WATCHED this series?
KidMangaX 3 years ago
you got angry b/c i questioned your argument? wow? i'll just assume you were just pissed at the time, and is actually a decent poster.
My question is how does the above incidents relate to sticking up for a character one favors?
b/c satou took it to the extreme, it doesn't mean everyone does and will. Such logic is flawed. (eg. kid from the offline meeting)
NHK is NOT about do not engage in those activities.
It's rather about human misery to be precise.
blackocean 3 years ago
No, he got angry because of your flawed grammar and typing skills.
Welcome to the NHK is about depression. It was in the afterword of the Novel, written by the author. He wrote it based on his own life troubles, and is embarrassed whenever he reads it (or so he says).
The novel spawned the manga, which spawned the anime.
darknovablast 2 years ago
oooo your so SmArT!!~~ with such SUPERIOR tPYing and grammEr skills!!!! Clap Clap.
here's a cookie.
aNyways, for a master of tPYing and grammEr, you are pretty stupid. tHere are no indications that kidmangaX was mad due my grammar/typos. If I'm wrong, pleaseeee enlingthen me with your insights!
And are you denying that "Welcome to the NHK" doesn't have human miseries as one of the main themes? Because depression is an aspect of human misery.
blackocean 2 years ago
I never said human misery, it was completely about hikikomori life, and how it affects not only the hikikomori, but the people AROUND the hikikomori.
And that it can depress the people related to them.
I don't care about my typing and grammar skills. I learn grammar in English, and typing in Admin. I just don't like it when people try to insult other people. KidMangaX didn't get angry, but you insulted his posting abilities. So I retaliated with 1 sentence.
Besides that, my point is valid.
darknovablast 2 years ago
If you read back few pages, KidMangaX was the one who actually started.
-> He insulted other by calling them "bad as satou" for people liking Misaki.
So i asked him to elaborate. I do not think fantasy is useless. It's source of creativity, and putting them down like that i cannot accept.
After I asked him to elaborate, in quite the passive manner.
and i get, an aggressive reply with "Have you even WATCHED this series?"
blackocean 2 years ago
To challenge theories you must point out flaws. I did that in a passive manner.
And go with your depression. I'll stick to mine. Because they are so closely related, it really can't counter the other without an explanation.
and you obviously have this habit of not elaborating your ideas, nor do i want to listen. so that's that.
And right now your playing justice boy by protecting the killer. Not the victims but criticizing the cop.
Doesn't make much sense to me, admin.
blackocean 2 years ago
It wasn't agressive, it was sarcastic.
I never read it all, I just don't like anyone being an ass to anyone else on the internet. It's stupid.
darknovablast 2 years ago
Sarcasm is a form of ironic speech or writing which is bitter or cutting, being intended to TAUNT its target.
Therefore it's a form of an insult
You quote "I just don't like it when people try to INSULT other people"
Do your research first, before playing justice boy.
b/c right now your persecuting the pedestrian who is trying to catch the purse snatcher.
To those who got their purses stolen, who is the real ass?. It is YOU.
(People being those degraded by KidMangaX for liking misaki)
blackocean 2 years ago
I like Misaki, too.
Sarcasm is a joke. At least, where I come from. If it's different to you, then too bad.
The people in my street are people from my city. I can judge them more than you.

"gonna assume your decent poster"
is Sooo offensive you need to get your justice badge and step up.
BUT? if you cover up an insult into sacrasm is all good?
Omgish. your logic. You are sooo fuckin smart. The entire world is craving for your brain.
And your last sentence made so much sense that it gave me a flash of insight.
I thank you protector of justice.
And oh ya and welcome to earth. Where you have geniuses thinking sarcasm/joke can't be an insult.
blackocean 2 years ago
No, sarcasm is a joke. If you're insulted by sarcasm, you have a sad life.
Actually, if you're insulted by ANYTHING on the internet, you have a sad life.
Stop using your sarcasm to try and insult me. I'm not an idiot, so I don't get intimidated by childish behaviour.
darknovablast 2 years ago
ah there you go again with these meaningless claims. That is supported by nothing. With no logical sense whatsoever. That's SOO mature of you.
Dude. Look up the freaken dictionary. Sarcasm can be a joke. It can also be an insult. Is HOW you use it.
Is the intention, not the method. Do you still not get this? If not, you are an idiot.
thats what my previous post was about.
blackocean 2 years ago
>people insulted by ANYTHING on the internet
>sad life
Do you not see the problem with this?
remember? You hate people who insult others!!
You just insulted at least one person. Go on religion forum, etc.
All these people are sad eh?
I guess you must hate yourself now?
You are quite the hypocrite.
Well this is losing its fun, make your next post more interesting admin. and that mature act is so old. is used commonly by idiots when they lack the intelligence to argue properly.

I'm not an admin, and I'm not acting mature. This is the way I am, get used to it.
Yes, it's true. If you're insulted by something on the internet, you're too imature FOR the internet.
darknovablast 2 years ago
but i don't understand.
You don't like people who insult others?
Yet you call those who are insulted immature? That's quite the statement your making.
So if i wrote a racist comment like: White power, in a black community forum. And the black community was insulted, they are immature?
or starving african kids should just go fuck themselves in charity forum. You think they are immature?
they have the right to be offended by such comment imo.
