Finished it, I'm lefting wanting the plot to continue, 10/10. Btw, the dream tatsuo makes up is something echi? And any reason misaki buys the book about pyramid schemes so quickly?

Must of his dreams are echi. That's how the show brings up Satou's weakness to anything that involves pleasure or vice.
As for the pyramid scheme book, they're actually very common in bookstores. Almost a year after watching Welcome to the NHK, I became a college student. My first reading assignment in Intermediate English was on a book titled "Coercion" that talked about many brand schemes (including pyramids).

10/10 for me too, although the anime is so-so; I haven't seen the dub of it yet.
I thought the pyramid scheme idea was pretty cool and I'd say that Misaki buys into it probably because she's a) naive, b) wants to please Tatsuo and c) kind of poor (at least if she lived without her relatives)

You guys should check out the original novel. The ebook is online somewhere. If I ever bother looking for it on my harddrive I'll upload it and post it or something.

A PDF can be found on 7chan's /lit/ in the sticky, I believe
Welcome to the NHK is my favorite series, non anime included as im not too big on anime really.
I liked it so much I dropped real life money on the box set and I dropped 30 bucks on the Novel, and I think that says something as I am a cheap person. (very cheap)
