I’m not even sure how to describe how this anime made me feel. At times, it showed glimpses of potential, but it often fell back into being very average at best.
I’ve read a few reviews mentioning that Sato (the main character) isn’t really a NEET or hikikomori, and I mostly agree. He comes across as too self-absorbed, even though he’s surrounded by great supporting characters who genuinely care about him. While he occasionally shows interest and sympathy for those around him, it’s fleeting and inconsistent. He jumps from being terrified and overwhelmed by the thought of going outside to having no issue being in crowds,

which makes his character arc feel uneven.
Sato’s actions might make him seem like a bad person, but I think his behavior stems from deeper issues, such as bipolar disorder, self-entitlement, and extreme self-centeredness.
Overall, the anime is an interesting watch. It tackles serious mental health topics and the struggles people face in their daily lives. The characters have depth, and the animation style is both visually appealing and engaging. However, it sometimes struggles to convey its messages effectively, and some sub-par mini arcs don’t really contribute to the characters’ development.
Despite its flaws, I’d still recommend the show because it makes you think about important topics like mental health, isolation, and self-growth. It’s not perfect, but it offers a unique perspective that might resonate with viewers who’ve faced similar struggles—or at least make you reflect on how complex and imperfect people can be.
