I'm making an essential /r9k/ anime chart.
Throw me some animes, the next time I post, I'll have a sexy chart ready and we can add or subtract from there.
General Guidelines:
-themes of personal problems being resolved (loneliness, anxiety, depression, etc.)
-themes of finding redemption. (Confidence building, motivation, making friends, finding meaning, etc.)
-dramedies are more than welcome, as long as they're somewhat relatable.
-uplifting stuff is welcome but must have balance. For example, the MC should be ideally in a darker place to begin with.
-no overly cute girl stuff, it creates disillusions or false expectancies when learning to socialize.
-romance is allowed but preferably without unrealistic stereotypes.
And that's all I got, pretty much stuff that's relatable and can even be somewhat enlightening, I know a few people who turned their lives around after watching NHK. Of course, feel free to deviate from the guidelines if the anime as a whole is worth watching.

Tatami Galaxy is a bit like NHK thematically. More relatable for those in college but its still worth a watch for robots
I'm up to episode 4 of Lain and it's seems pretty roboto.

shigatsu wa kimi no uso(personal fav, even though it can be cliche at times, it shows the themes you're looking for very well)
watamote
oregairu
nhk
psycho-pass
LOGH is the GOAT NEET anime.
All great suggestions, thanks guys.
I never finished welcome to the NHK, i got to the second last episode and couldnt handle the feels and stopped, i ordered a crate of alcohol recently, needed some extra bottles and for the hell of it got some Sake, i think i will enjoy the last bit while drinking it, seems fitting.
Gin no Saji
Uchouten
Yama no Susume (2 seasons)
Shirobako

The ending is dramatic, but IMHO the scene that fucked me up the most in the entire show was this.

Obviously NHK is /r9k/: The Anime.
Other than that I would suggest Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop. I know these are heavily mainstream in a way, but they both deal with depressive mindfuck in interesting and artistically great ways.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.Jotaro is autistic

SpoilerOne of them shoud have died desu
>>26436651
b-but how can you be so mean anon? ;_;
Naruto :^) (inb4 overrated anime normie fag)
Needs more Berserk
>>26436583
only the first two though, that third season with the Stands is fucking awful
Mononokethe series, not the movie
Hyouge Mono
>>26437405
agreed, its clearly inferior to the two first seasons, but it sets a base for season 4
>>26433898
The obvious choices are NHK and Watamote which are pretty much about people who are robot-tier.
Other choices would include Cowboy bebop (A character which lost meaning, kinda loner and shit), and No game no life (NEET stuff mostly).
There are also some animes that are pretty much strange normalfag and failed normie tier like oreimo (Normie girl who hides her true identity), haganai (Awkward guy but pretty chad tier), Oregairu (Guy who shows robot qualities but completely normie) etc.
