I use several different websites to get my entertainment fix. Among, Veoh and TVlinks are probably my most used, mostly due to the high quality and huge, organized selection.

My usual form of entertainment on these sites is to browse the anime section until I find something I've never heard of before. As you can guess, I find stuff pretty quickly. Some of it is okay, some of it is total crap. And then every once in a while, I find something that I absolutely love. This also happens when I browse random movies at video stores, and the "New" section at my local comic book stop. Most of the stuff in movies is crap, though. It's a wonder what gets filmed.

Anyway, one of these wonders that I've found is called Welcome to the NHK (NHK ni Youkoso). It's basically the story of Japan today. It follows the life of a guy named Satou as he basically encounters every social issue Japan has at the moment. It's hilarious at points, overwhelmingly sad at others, and just incredibly interesting through-and-through. Although it's needless to say, I love it.

But unfortunately, I can barely watch it. Why? Because every time someone uploads it to a website I watch, it is at some point or another removed. Mainly this is for "violating terms and conditions." But what does it do that violates terms of use? There is minimal swearing, I'll admit a bit of almost-nudity, and no violence!

But apparently, SOMETHING in the show is causing it to be inappropriate. But what, I don't know. Just recently I was watching the first episode of Elfen Lied, which has been on there for quite some time. It contained full nudity and the most appalling gore I've ever watched in an anime (and it was kinda boring, too). So why is it there, but NHK ni Youkoso is not allowed to be watched?

This ends my rant.
