just wait till you get a few more episodes down, just like his neighbor gave him a hobby with the games, he'll get a new hobby.
It feels like the people around him are a bad influence sometimes even though they try to help. Thats why his hikkamori life is a bit more interesting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

i'm not sure but I think its a 24 episode series. Although it looks like a series that could longer than that.
When I look at satou I can't help but to think of kintaro from golden boy since they are such opposites hehe.
Also, I love the rockish soundtrack

There's nowhere I can't reach.
