Welcome to the NHK!

Does anyone know any animes that accomodate a similiar viewing experience to Welcome to the NHK? The humour was definitely one of its strong points for me, as well as the philosophical ideas it imparts about the human condition.

    Welcome to the NHK is my favorite anime/manga/LN of all time, and your question is something I've struggled with since watching the anime and reading both the LN and manga.

    I cannot say that I've watched anything else that reminds me of Welcome to the NHK.

    However, other good introspective or "human condition" anime are: Eve no Jikan, Psycho-Pass, and The Tatami Galaxy.

    Those are off the top of my head, but I'm not sure of any series that gives you the same feeling and black comedy as Welcome to the NHK.

    I do hope others chime in, though.

    I recommend taking a look at Tatami Galaxy. It's not super similar to NHK but, like get9 mentioned, it does introspection well. I also highly recommend Planetes if you want to see characters that feel truly real.

      I've been meaning to watch Planetes for a while, now. The backlog I have of anime series is frightening. Coupling the backlog with watching new series as they come out, it's just slow going.

      After your recommendation (and reminder), it's being moved to the top of the list.

        I know what you mean, there's so much to watch.
