>I'm a normal NEET in the second year of high school What?

Maybe he doesn't attend it?

NEET has become a bit of a buzzword over the past few years.

>also runs a blog and earns money on the side
>no problem talking to people
>female friend

This guy is the opposite of a NEET.

>I can't detect irony

yeah, i think they are just using it as a word for lack of ambition or like shut in or something

guy didnt seem very neet-ly

It would've been so much better had they made him an actual NEET instead of the cringy fuck he is now. At least NEETs are a tolerable cringe.

NEET has sort of become like "autism" or "cuck" for anime. The actual definition got reworked into a catch-all word

It went from it's actual meaning and indicating someone who has seriously lost control of their life to just meaning "I'm such a lazy nerd XD" and essentially saves the writer from having to explain anything about their character because "NEETs all act like this right"?

>guy admires some legit NEET who made loads of money from ad revenue
>wants to be like him
>starts claiming he's a NEET without actually knowing what the term means just because he sees NEETs as "cool
It's like those normalfags who claim to be otaku just because they watch Naruto/SnK(whatever stuff becomes popular

What's especially weird is that people think NEET is internet slang. IIRC it was invented by the Labour party (UK) sometime in the late 90s

>>148385776
And he's as cringy and autist af like them too

>>148385883
It's used like one and normalfags never say it, so it's an understandable mistake.

>>148385883
Because it's not a common word and it's more likely to be heard in Japan where they use it frequently as a descriptor

Like otaku isn't just an anime thing, but people think it is.

NEET in Japan is the same as nerd in America now. Only used by poseurs.

Which is sort of weird because NEET has a specific meaning as an acronym. Somehow Japan forgot about that.

Like, even this guy, despite going to school sometimes, has more claim to being a NEET than the MC of this

He's such a loser that he aspired to be a NEET and fucked it up.

It was probably a mistranslation because sub groups are mentally retarded.

>>148386924
Sorry anon, he straight up says NEET.

This guy I worked with for a couple years was a huge weeb and full-time NEET.

Why would japanese people with no idea of english know the meaning behind an english acronym?

He calls himself a NEET, but isn't one. A lot of people do this.

>>148385705
Except the guy who wrote this main character also wrote Takumi Nishijou, a realistic portrayel of a hikikomori who goes outside only when absolutely necessary, hates interacting with anyone and is constantly depressed. Having the O;9 MC describe himself as that archetype without actually being it was clearly for dramatic effect.

>>148387574
>dramatic effect.
What

>>148387657
Shit, meant to type ironic effect.

>>148385508
NEET!=hikkihomori

I don't think Japan knows what NEET means any more.

It's just become another slanderous term for hikkis or otaku.

What's wrong with that? I am also an ordinary Japanese high school student who just happens to be a shrine priest ninja from the future with a special curse that lets me summon monsters.

>>148387795
>ironic effect.
What

/a/s favorite new shit fucking anime

>>148390689
Nobody would care about this trash if not for the titty monster.

>>148391062
I would.

>>148390399
Haven't seen this, but that makes sense. Think of a person in the USA who calls themselves a loner but actually has friends and meets them on occasion. Such a person is not a loner but identifies as one because they think that's cool. That would be ironic. In the context of this show I don't know if that makes sense.

Why are people trying so hard to spin this as a good show? Is it because it really was a fucking garbage first episode that even MAL and Crunchyroll didn't seem to like so now /a/ has to embrace it or something?

>>148391176
You have terrible taste then.
The direction and animation are good but wasted for this crap.

>>148389014
Neet also implies that you don't go to school tho

Look man, don't unbuckle the belt just yet, it's just the first episode. The ; may not always be a symbol of quality, but it sure means it's gonna be a wild ride.
Even if it's bad I want to see what the fuck Chiyo is thinking.

I ain't even mad if that's the case

Whatever I say, you're gonna say I'm objectively wrong because of your superior objective tastes.

Why are you on an imageboard for anime duscussion if you have no intention of discussing?

It looks like it has a chance of getting better to me. But man, who the fuck thought it was ok to have a extra retarded version of Mayuri with ADHD and tits which are the most supernatural thing in the entire show? Anime tiddie memes aside it's fucking stupid.

>>148393271
To diss retards like you who think posting in a way that implies people who disagree with you about the quality of a show are objectively wrong and inferior to you is "discussion" instead of mere shitposting..

>>148393394
>being this triggered just because I called your taste shit
Yeah, it really doesn't look like you belong here, with skin that thin.

Yes, Yuta is a poser, we know.

>>148391201
Outsider walking in on this, I think you nailed it.

>>148389014
wrong, hikki is a neet but more extreme, you dont leave the house/your room a neet can leave once in a while but he doesnt work/study

People threw a hissy fit when Kamisama no Memochou called the loli a "NEET detective" too.

>>148395886
Thing is KnM and East of Eden put NEETness in a positive and ideal light, showing people invested in their internal interests for positive reasons unconstrained by society's expectations. I kinda like that sort of spin on it. Makes a better escapist fantasy for this sad NEET than highschool battle harems galore.

>>148395818
A hikki is a shut in. That doesn't mean they can't be in remote employment or undergoing independent study.
A NEET is someone that doesn't work or isn't learning anything, this doesn't necessitate that they don't go outside or don't have active social lives.
The two are complementary to each other and very often overlap, but the two are not necessarily the same.

>>148386242
Haven't seen niwaka in a while, it was a short lived forced meme.

Not in
Employment
Education
Training

He's not a neet.
