Description: After withdrawing from the world for four years, 22-year-old hikikomori Tatsuhiro Sato gets caught on an emotional roller coaster as the outré comedy Welcome to the NHK concludes. He agrees to join his high school friend Hitomi on what he thinks is a trip to the beach, only to discover the members of an on-line suicide pact are olding a get-together. Sato's innate good nature helps to pull them back from the brink, but he's still agoraphobic, unemployed and broke. A get-rich-quick scheme involving Real Money Trading (selling imaginary items from on-line games) turns into an hilarious parody of "World of Warcraft"-sty
After withdrawing from the world for four years, 22-year-old hikikomori Tatsuhiro Sato gets caught on an emotional roller coaster as the outré comedy Welcome to the NHK concludes. He agrees to join his high school friend Hitomi on what he thinks is a trip to the beach, only to discover the members of an on-line suicide pact are olding a get-together. Sato's innate good nature helps to pull them back from the brink, but he's still agoraphobic, unemployed and broke. A get-rich-quick scheme involving Real Money Trading (selling imaginary items from on-line games) turns into an hilarious parody of "World of Warcraft"-style gaming, but it's a financial bust. A pyramid scheme touted by a former classmate proves equally disastrous. Sato and his next-door-neighbor Kaoru Yamazaki finally finish their "girl game," only to see it flop. Not surprisingly, Sato's relationship with the puzzling Misaki Nakahara turns out to be the key to his escape from his self-imposed isolation. The series builds to a surprisingly powerful conclusion that feels both satisfying and believable. There are no pat solutions to the problems Sato and Misaki face, but like two knickknacks that are chipped in the same place, they belong together. Together, they have a chance for a happier future. Chris Patton (Sato) and Stephanie Wittels (Misaki) give strong performances that make their characters' wrenching declarations as believable as their nutty rants. The mixture of broad comedy and powerful emotions in Welcome to the NHK will appeal to fans of His and Her Circumstances. (Rated TV MA, suitable for ages 15 and older: minor violence, profanity, nudity, risqué & toilet humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
