Well, I finished this anime about 10 seconds ago, so my memory is still pretty fresh. I have to say, I wish this anime ended after 12 episodes. 24 is just too long because, basically, you see the same thing happening all over again all the time. It is a nice watch, got me motivated to do things, but the main character (Satou) is just not likable in any, and I mean ANY way.
The character development just stops at some point and you feel in the middle that it's just empty episodes, prolonging the anime and showing an endless stream of his "hikikomori"-condition (Being a total non-working nerd, basically) getting better and than worsening again. It's a pain. Sato's behavior is, for the most part, unbelievable. He is shown as a rather smart guy, but then he does the stupidest things. It appears to be just done for a laugh or two and it just decreases the quality of the anime.
The series strong-point however are in its serious episodes, like the "Off-Meeting" around the 12th episode. There you get a nice inside view into a hikikomori's life.
In conclusion, just watch it if you are interested in the social phenomenon of being a "hikikomori", but don't expect anything too logical. Towards the end.. it's more an obligation to watch it till the last episode.
