New to me Anime


Welcome to the NHK (summary provided by Funimation)

Sato's life is going down the drain. A college dropout, he rarely goes outside and sleeps sixteen hours a day. Amidst his internet porn sites, he finds himself falling further into a pit of despair. Sato has now decided that a sinister broadcast company known as "The NHK" is trying to transform its viewers into jobless, societal recluses by showing cutesy anime girls. Unable to resist these charms, innocent victims like Sato are soon too busy watching TV and playing pornographic computer games to pursue a normal life. In his darkest hour, Sato has a chance encounter with a beautiful girl named Misaki, who claims that she can cure him of his perverse ways. Is she really an angel of mercy? Or is she a devilish agent of the NHK? Swimming in a sea of corruption, Sato prepares for the battle of his life. Welcome to the NHK!

The end of this synopsis made me smile. This show sounds funny. Has me wondering if it's really this company's fault, or if Sato is really just a lazy pervert. Will watch the first 2 episodes, which you can also see for free on Funimation.

Here's a direct link to the trailer: http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=video&v=2380

It doesn't look that good, but I'll give it a try.

Note: Funimation was undergoing some maintenance operations, so the video froze up on me. Will finish watching and complete brief review later.
