http://myanimelist.net/anime/29589/Denpa_Kyoushi_%28TV%29>New anime about a physics prodigy who becomes a NEET otaku, and then decides to becomes a physics teacher at his old high school.What's up with Japan wanting NEETism to become mainstream? I know there have always been NEETs in anime and such, but there's been a lot of emphasis put on it lately. Next thing you know gullible 12 year olds will aspire to become NEET otaku too. Is Japan encouraging this? Is this a marketing technique to lure in teens to the anime otaku lifestyle in order to gain sales?
What do you think of the growing prevalence of NEETism in Japanese media?

>>14011Basically this.
It's the same with beta MC with lotsa girls around; it's just a way to make beta guys feel empathy towards the character and be engulfed by the idea of an harem around them.

>>14011>>14012I may have overlooked this possibility…
But what was mentioned in the OP still has a chance of being true, right?
No.14016
>>14014In all the cases, Japan wants to go full joy, so it's a big probability being looked by different angles but that still lead to the same source.

Isnt japan just a weird place in general?
I mean do you analyze other animes too?
Maybe its just a cheap story.

generally the NEET-focused anime tend to have the NEET get broken *out* of the NEET lifestyle. it's got an eventual aim of inspiring NEETs to go out there and do something, because being NEET is a drain on society and Japan's beginning to have a serious problem with them.

>>14023Seems that way, then again i guess in the end it really depends on the story.

Maybe offtopic but do you guys prefer stories about neets that are more lighthearted or the depressing kind?
No.14031
>>14030The depressing kind, because watching NEETs having fun depresses me because I'm a piece of shit who knows I'll never have that.
