My boy hikikomori is out in the wild outdoors, that is Akihabara. Yamazaki really did a number in influencing Satou in otaku culture. I can only expect it would get better (or worse depending how you see it) in the next episodes to come.
It was brave for Satou to go outside from his apartment, with the dumb and light reason that Yamazaki would call the police on him for 'stealing' some rare noodles.
And yeah, animation went off, but I kinda like it. It gives this feel that I'm really watching this anime from the time it was aired; low quality and not so modern (which i like for some reason)
To watch a hikokomori managed to handle the outside world he kept himself hidden from and that scene of him watching it while calmly smoking is quite heartwarming for me.

The ending was really nice plot-wise. Really interested to know what will happen next.

I don't get why everyone's ragging on the animation in this episode. The point was that it was meant to be exaggerated given how ridiculous the situation was. Even then, the animation was way smoother and more interesting than what we're used to with a show like this.

Since this is the first post I've made for this series, I may as well give my general thoughts. I'm not as impressed by this as other people are. So far it's proven itself to be tone-deaf in the same vein as Clannad. This show doesn't need to be all doom and gloom, but at the same time, it's extremely hard to take this show seriously when there's a bunch of melodramatic moments where the characters are screaming at each other.

On a lighter note, the soundtrack for this show is great. I picked up this series because of Puzzle, but I've since warmed to Welcome to Loneliness a lot more. The song really captures that feeling of being trapped in a hole you've dug yourself.

what a turnaround from the first two episodes which were, in my opinion, just normal. the last two episodes raised this series from the grave.


Couldnt agree more!!!

For any curious about the animation: yes, it does change throughout the show. This was a low budget anime! But i think it adds to the aesthetic:)

Is this what people nowadays call incels? Yamazaki is kind of annoying. This was a fun episode and it was hilarious! The drawing/animation was unique for sure. I appreciate it tbh. Worried that Sato is going to forget about Yamazaki's things and will walk away with his Senpai.

Really feel the more down-to-earth spirit with this one, but I can also feel that its comedy is it's main selling point so it can enhance the actual drama of the situations for the main character.

Dude...
I love the 2000s for the bold ideas it brought to anime and some amazing adaptations as well but holy hell the transition from cel to digital was ROUGH on top of the shitty economy japan has to go through.
Gonzo is one of the biggest studio of the 2000s and yet most of their production is absolutely unwatchable with modern standards, from Ergo Proxy, Gantz and NHK, they all look complete fucking ass. Amateurish anime production from today would look better by several magnitude than this, the sakkan was on holiday break, the inbetweeners have been fired, the people in charge of clean up were probably shot dead in an alley coming in the studio, rarely I come to the conclusion that I could have made a better job myself.
Hope the narrative can save all the abysmal visuals.
