A GONZO anime. Moody, sad, graphic but also beautiful. And SOO FUNNY!
7 January 2024
Now this is the kind of show one would expect from GONZO, the studio behind beloved Gantz (2004). They have a knack for making gritty shows with 'realistic' characters possessing nuanced, flexible personalities against an ambient, almost lonely thought-provoking setting! This time it's more focused on psychological drama and slice-of-life.

The MC Tatsuhiro Sato is a tall, 22 year old pitiful, impulsive recluse that suffers from the predominant Japanese youngsters habit of the 2000s of being unemployed / college dropout shut-ins or NEETs otherwise called Hikkikamori's in this anime, and his conflicted day-to-day attitude about what he's doing with his life. Which is an absolute riot to see.

Along the way, he has an endearingly helpful neighbor bestfriend/little brother/former junior that is always there for him. And then there's the adorable, mysterious sociopathic girl that for some reason wants to help this stranger get out of his hikkikamori lifestyle. And that's how his days go. It swings from sadness to wholesome to Burst out laughing moments, and it's mostly a flurry of mixed emotions! The music is so beautiful and moody reminiscent of Drive (2011)'s touching soundtrack and the English voice acting is insanely funny, witty and genius! I absolutely loved this anime watching it from January 1 - 7, 2024! 3:05AM.
