Greetings people of Shibuya MAL!!! Got a red hot thread for you.





Hope ya’ll zeptograms are having a good night,morning or afternoon down in the u.g of mal!!

Today we're going to be talking about "neetakus"



The neetaku what is a neetaku?

(Disclaimer I just found the word I never said to be the one creating it but you are free to use it however you see fit)

Definition according to me:

A neetaku is a form of otaku which often refers to someone that is not in employment or in any form of training or education and are often reclusive,socially inauspicious,often spending their time on the internet especially on online forums dwindling upon time away as well as being in a repetitive nonstop cycle of neeting around with their hobbies only until truck kun or any other accident, brings them to another world where they must bear the dreaded word they hate “responsibility”. Whenever its fallen upon them, its always unwilling.
Much of the time they are either in a relative's place or living by themselves.


Neetakus if they do have a goal its often gaming or anime career related but most of the time, its usually aimless drifting.

Causes of neetakudom do vary, from flunking out of school to removing themselves voluntarily or involuntarily from choice of career and said career is often dead end.


It can be used as well synomously for thirsty for their own good to the point of beyond pathetic dudes online as well.

Often these neetakus are based on their audience and also including many of their interests/hobbies whetehr its gaming,shitposting or weeb shows. Not often are they are “taku” types per say, as they can also be typical normies working dead end 9-5 or in school with often average grades. But still, these people are often the target of depiction in neetaku type anime to appeal “relatable” to the general audience.

Most of the time they spend in the room and its only when they go touch grass, that’s when the plot really kicks in.

In life they look average looking at best, while at worst you see depictions like the one yours truly has drawn.




How they are depicted varies, as in welcome to the nhk and Rozen Maiden shown them in a sympathetic light while most others would show them as scum of the earth and are used for comedic purposes.

Society as in irl does not treat too kindly to these types of people often looking at them as “parasites” mooching off from loved ones.


Even their taste of women reflects the type of characters upon said neetaku media as well. (Apparently strong independent women are not a popular choice of dating in Japan from what I've heard.)

They gotta catch em all, no matter how relevant of a role, the damsels in distresses are. God forbid them from being like Marle in Chrono Trigger 9/10 times. Or else anything that is “strong” will equate to them being a “bad” character for the average neetaku.


Similarly it can happen with their own wet dreams coming true with harems in sol. (Often with abusive jealousful dere love interests.)


In addition the level of intelligence is below “subpar” so to say as to drag the plot on despite no matter how ones own potential love interest, displays obvious signs of attraction.


In isekai particular, they often become their own wet dreams that they so forth fantazie about with harems among harems and reaching “sigma” levels so to speak of pure “awesomeness”. With action just easily solved in a blink of the eye and everyone lives happily ever after. And of course the locations are more or less the same with no variety to them just like pre gen 8 with their pokemon.

Of course you can expect them being played by god with déjà vu having amenesia and why even bother attack and dethrone god when you can catch em all stds damsels in distress spekkio god can come later enjoy the filler of fanservice and stuff like that.


In anime in particular there are stories either focused, or have a neetaku type character (the level of neetakudom of course varies in many degrees) in it. One can assume more will increase due to the ongoing pandemic.


The most prevalent genres would be SOL or Isekai especially in Isekai given the current trend direction of the anime industry. Especially with jrpg elements inspired by Dragon Quest,Final Fantasy,Tales and many more. Aesthetically speaking as well, the worlds look often the same. As well as the story being again, “attack and dethrone deus spekkio with the power of friendship”. With of course the occasional beach episode here or there.


Aside from isekai or sol especially comedy, as mentioned before they can appear in anywhere else like Servamp which focuses on a neetaku vampire. In fact from what I've noticed, vampires as well are often chosen to be neetakus in neetaku oriented anime with horror/supernnatural elements very occasionally. There were a few of them in Rosario vampire, but they weren’t vampires iirc.


As a result, many shows often get shadowed and overlooked in favor for isekai. Especially with Shojo and Josei being neglected and even non shojo as well like the goth stuff and the mystery shows as well, they can be easily overlooked as a result of an oversaturated market. The other result as well, is creating a false narrative, that all anime is neetaku jrpg power of friendship wet dream harem type stuff.



In isekai they may display courage outfront but just like sol, these people are often pushover doormats to others and often overly relied on to use as for humor even though in reality, it just comes off as forced in and cringey and awkward. But even then, aside from the wannabe tough guy act, there’s also the way they treat their love interests as well as the cynicism they often share with. And social anxiety like in their past lives is something you’d often see with isekai mcs.

Character development varies depending on the series, some would in Mr.H from The World Ends With You words, would open up their world and broaden their horizons realizing that being a neet as appeasing as it may be, isn’t exactly all that healthy. Some just remain the same static character throughout the duration.

At least for development most of the time its not breezing through it easily and they have to go through challenges to overcome the obstacles.

Morality of a neetaku as well, some like Haseo from Hack.Gu and Tatsuhiro Sato are bleak and gloomy or snarky. Some others are kind and caring like Jun Sakurada from Rozen Maiden. But a lot of them are crippled by negative thoughts whether its cynicism and selfishness or self defeating anxiety issues and Shinji levels of depression.



There are exceptions to this rule as Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes is neither a pushover nor a doormat. And has time and again shown to be a “badass” in many aspects.




But anyways what do you dear reader, think about neetaku type characters? Are they being used as a crutch like isekai just to make anime for the sake of making it? And how would you make a neetaku type character if you were making a manga?
