Editor's Note
Rare as it might be, there are people all over the world who refuse to leave their homes, earning them the label of "shut-ins." But in Japan the phenomena has become so big that a new label, "hikikomori," has been coined to describe an entire generation of people in self-exile. Ironically this issue is often associated with manga and anime such as WELCOME TO THE N.H.K., which is what makes this story a unique approach within the genre. Tatsuhiro Sato is one such hikkikomori who, after years of unemployment, convinces himself that the largest TV network in Tokyo is somehow responsible for his situation. That is until he meets Misaki, who's determined to help him lose his paranoia and leave his house. Part two of season one is a thrilling 12-episode conclusion to the inaugural story arc of an unusual anime that confronts the psychology of people who might be too in love with unreality and as a result find it slipping away from them.
