message: The summary of episode 23 is too long to be featured on the 'Episode List' table. I suggest we create a new page named "Welcome to Misaki" and then proceed to create individual pages for the remaining episodes as the text comes along.-- Ishikawa Minoru 22:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest we don't and just cut down the length of the summary of 23. The NHK anime is not notable enough for a page on every episode. _dk 03:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Altough I agree that there shouldn't be individual pages for each NHK ni Youkoso! episode, that kind of argument, _dk, doesn't make any sense, because... Wikipedia DOES have a page for each and every episode of the Simpsons, Star Trek and other notable-for-their-geek-audience series. In my opinion, that kind of information should only be included in Wikis about those series.ShinjiPG 13:58, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm aware of that. I myself do not like having an article about every episode of some series...but that's the way it is and it's gonna take a very big effort to change that. _dk 01:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode summaries

message: It says NHK stands for "Nihon hikikomori kyokai" but near the end (episode 23 I think) it lists the "N" as possibly standing for various other negative traits, can't remember what they were but I definitely remember them.  Of course, hikikomori is the primary H, just thought it was notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.100.234.9 (talk • contribs) 
:"Other negative traits"? You realize that "Nihon" means "Japan" and isn't a "negative trait" right? In anycase, I don't think these other "meanings" deserve mention.--SeizureDog 23:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think 71.100.234.9 wanted to say that "H" has various meanings. "Nihon Hiyowa (weak person) Kyokai" for sempai, "Nihon Hikan (pessimist) Kyokai" for Misaki. --85.25.148.242 10:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not belive this anime is a drama/romance! I have seen a few AMV's of NHK and a few episodes and there is no romance in it unless you class. A guy looking at barely leagal images on the web haveing sex dreams of some neko girl, while locked up in his house 24/7! so can you remove that genre? --Tatshro Satou 16:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seriously, if you have not seen much of the series, you really shouldn't bring up an argument about it. One of the developing plotlines later on in the series is Satō falling in love with Misaki. As for drama, the series is filled with it since Satō has to cope with the constant knowledge that he is a failure at life and has to overcome that.--十八 19:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Have you seen it? From what i can see there anit gona be no grown ass man who likes barely legal porn having ANY romance with a underage girl! The most drama that can happen is his persocom stops working while he looks for more images!--Tatshro Satou 16:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Romance? Drama?

message: I could have sworn I heard that song as an opening for another anime at some point. Although, I can't find anything on the internet relating that song to another anime. Can anyone think of an anime that has this song as the opening, or have I just mistaken? Wheelsx 19:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The page says that the manga is ongoing with six volumes, however the side bar says that the manga has eight volumes and has finished. A lot of other information also seems out of date.

thread_title:  Needs updating 

message: "It is one of the first manga published by Tokyopop to be rated M, for an 18 or older audience (Happy Mania, Battle Royale, Yubisaki Milk Tea among others, have also earned this rating from Tokyopop)." Is that right? 18 usually means Adult audiences and not mature. I think this number should be 17 which is usually what M is for.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ergzay (talk • contribs) 06:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible error in ages 

message: I would like to know if there's any diference in the anime's ending respect manga's ending, because i think that when the anime was over the manga was still being published... so.. does the anime ends in the middle of the manga's plot? or is it a complete adaptation? i would really like this to be specificated in the article, because it is really important information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starlingmaximilian (talk • contribs) 03:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot diferences 

message: Erm, how is this shōnen? Sure, it was first serialized in Shōnen Ace, but so was NGE. The manga was full of drug and alcohol abuse, pedophilia, suicide as was the anime. Hardly "teenage boy" themes. Seems a bit off, especially since the shōnen page here proudly displays InuYasha, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Dragon Ball in the article. tyx (talk) 07:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We designate manga demographics by what the demographic of the magazine the manga was serialized in is, in this case shōnen for Shōnen Ace.--十八 07:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, the entire article needs to be rewritten to cover the novel version, with the anime and manga versions covered in their own sections later on. It seems heavily focused on the adaptions right now. Doceirias (talk) 21:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  novel v manga v anime 

message: I have only read the manga so far so maybe this is just a difference between mediums (though even if it is, that should be indicated), but Misaki's description is incorrect. Everything about her mother dieing when she was young and her father being a drunk who abused her was just another lie to manipulate Sato. It's shown that both her parents are alive and quite well off. There's also no talk of how manipulative of a character she is. The "she means no harm" line seems especially inaccurate.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.153.231.8 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Review(s) 

message: The article claims that Misaki has BPD, or at least "shows symptoms of it," with no citations. I don't know what this is talking about, or if the author has any ideas what the symptoms of BPD look like, but without a citation I'm going to say that's nice and inaccurate. Can we get a citation? or can we remove that reference? Thanks.
