The main theme of this anime can be said to be consisting four of the following:
- people who have no idea whatsoever about what they are doing or what they want to do
- those who hate their life from their very core (but are afraid of ending it by commiting suicide)
- complete retards who shut themselves all their life into their room
- jobless bumps who still leech off their parents at age 22+
Now you decide what kind of anime it is!!!!
People have a mixed response regarding this anime. Some like it and some don't. Depends upon their choice.
I personally have mixed emotions. Some parts are fun while some will to make you wanna tear your hair apart with frustration.

Story
There's a growing class of people in Japan - the hikikomori, or to be more polite, the NEET (Not pursuing Employment, Education or Training) - who live as shut-ins from society, making just enough money to survive, either through work or by living with their parents indefinitely, but otherwise completely isolating themselves from the outside world.The main character Satou has found himself trapped in the hikikomori lifestyle, so much so that he considers himself a professional hikikomori. Smart enough to know how to live this kind of lifestyle, he's a midway-through-college dropout, sponging off his parents for an allowance and half-heartedly working with his neighbor and fellow shut-in Yamazaki to create the greatest hentai game of all time. He's a conspiracy nut, and feels the greatest conspiracy affecting him is the Japanese television channel N.H.K. Along the way he runs into a cute but very strange girl named Misaki, who feels she can "cure" him of the hikikomori lifestyle through nightly "therapy" sessions where she quotes everyone from Jung to Freud in the hopes that something will cause him to break out of the mold he's created for himself. It's quite possibly the weirdest love story you'll ever see.
But Welcome to the NHK works on many different levels, and there are a lot of different facets to this anime. Satou wants to escape his shut-in lifestyle, but at the same time he feels it's the one thing in life he's good at, so the cycle perpetuates itself around him. Still, his desperation to find anything outside his own life leads him down some questionable paths, particularly when his friend Yamazaki turns him into a "involuntary" pedophile for a short time thanks to overexposure to his collection of hentai video games. The "cure" Satou undergoes to break himself of his new loli-con fetish is perhaps one of the funniest parts of the anime.
Another popular theme is that of control. Satou feels like he's lost control of his life, thanks to the evil entity known as the N.H.K. Yamazaki feels he can't escape his destiny to follow in his father's footsteps as a dairy farmer, and thus pursues a career in animation to find something as far removed from that life as possible. Misaki sees an opportunity to control Satou in order to make someone more pathetic than her fall in love with her to help boost her own self-esteem. Ultimately, it's the attempt to control things that are uncontrollable that provide a lot of the conflict in the characters' lives. Even when paired up, as Satou and Yamazaki attempt to create the game that will propel them out of their humdrum lives, it's evident that as humans, the more we try to control our worlds, the more we find out how much we can't.
