Just for Spamming =)

I've only read a couple of chapters of this. They even target players of MMORPOGs, which probably puts that phenomenon at the bottom of the otaku rankings.

MMORPGs pay themselves out every 5 minutes. If you play one of them and can't enjoy taking the piss out of it, there's something seriously wrong with you. I love people paying them out, it makes for great entertainment.

50 DKP minus, Leroy Jenkins, Amish Paradise...classic.

NHK manga is very depressing to read.

Volume 1 arrived on Friday. Can't afford it yet though.

Are we talking self-depreciation/self-humiliation depressing or Saikano depressing?

It is "this life is 100% yours, so suck it down" depressing.

If you read this manga, chances are your already in one of the subcultures it's taking the piss out of. From mmorpgs, anime fandom and in Madman's case, minderjährigen mädchen, this manga targets everybody and makes you feel that little bit more pathetic. So it would fall under the "self-depreciation/self-humiliation" depressing. Saikano needed a heavy dose of Prozac, especially with the "Love Story Killed" side story. I swear, the Japanese entertainment industry got a hold of Romeo and Juliet and decided to make Shakespearean Tragedy the default model for a lot of their love stories.

Should I point out that this argument is facetious in light of all that has gone before in this thread? And that the world is full of ignorant people? And that they choose, for their own selfish reasons, to coexist? Or should I just leave this as the usual, witty Tarrant/Mendes banter that we've come to expect?

7/4? The one whose place it is to judge?

Seriously. Welcome to the NHK manga. Talk about it or I'll kick your collective asses. Sorted.

Couldn't resist... it just sounded too Matrix-like.

Welcome to the NHK manga is cool...

Yes. Hmm. Very interesting, erudite and entirely salient points you make, there.

Use more common terminology imo.

I like long words. They give the impression of intelligence without the effort.

Finally got this myself (I've already watched ep3 15...no..16 times!!)....I can't believe that it is only 30Gig in the manga...lazy American translators....

Okay folks, we have found the bottom of the barrel.

No. Just someone incapable of feeling ashamed about themselves. Deliberately.

I bet I wouldn't feel ashamed after reading it...

Yes you would, but it would be the shame of knowing that you associate with these kinds of people.

Touché

You ever heard of that Ben Folds song 'There's Always Someone That Is Cooler Than You'?

After reading Volume 1, I couldn't stop laughing and I felt like writing a song called 'There's Always Someone That Is Sadder Than You'.

PS. I find it amusing in this topic thread, Seven calls 'Welcome to the NHK' cool then slams it in the current reading topic.

This makes as much sense to me as when the hamburger told me to buy a pink corset and waltz through Rundle Mall carrying a box of tissues.

Mappy's point is proven.

All my points are proven before I utter them. If they aren't, I shall counter all with my Field of Inpenetrable Denial.

...and I've finally finished chapter 1 (I can only handle a few pages at a time).

What is there to handle?! This is no different than what I've read about on anime forums or is already prevalent in the industry. If this makes you feel guilty about yourself or beings your conscience into conflict, then I'd say Welcome to the NHK is doing its job.

I must be sad in that I genuinely enjoy reading about a collection of people whose lives are just totally fornicated. It probably helps to be in complete denial about your own shortcomings, though.

A man without shame... is truly not a man. Reading NHK tears at the heart knowing that one has participated in such heinous acts. (No ref to myself personnally, am denying everything)

Will not contradict his denial until a seven figure sum or higher is offered.

I'm actually quite unbuyable... sorry to all you with large wads of cash stuck in a pink g-string thinking you had a chance. I'll still take the cash though.

Man, I want some of the scheiße Tarrant's been on, lately....

It's called university exams.

If that's what you call the stuff I buy in little bags... then yeah why not. I'm high on 'university exams', freshly imported from the Caribbean.

More likely delerium caused by a lack of sleep due to university exams, aka "he no makin' sense".

University exams.... I remember them.... and the way I tried my best to choose subjects without them....

Yeah I got it that Saturday too.

Wow, this one just makes the 1st volume look tame in comparison.

I've read all of the Welcome to the NHK manga. It's the first manga I've read, and I liked it. I can recall I stayed up till midnight reading on a few occasions. Good stuff
