| I want another Welcome to NHK where this time around the main guy is a zoomer that became a hikikomori after covid, and the main girl is an onlyfans model with mental illness. (not actually OnlyFans since it's not popular in Japan, perhaps a girl who posts lewd photos on Instagram instead, or maybe even a prostitute idk) Good or no? |

| Hey that sounds like an interesting plot. |
| MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| Sounds good in theory, unlikely to be made in the next decade or so. |
| Idk Wonder Egg Priority or something |
| I mean to an extent anime already has these tropes. There have been shut-in or NEET characters for like...over a decade. But as people said above, these are usually just quirks for a girl in a harem or something the MC overcomes via a harem... so yeah. I don't know if a "serious" anime about stuff like this would be made any time soon (or be popular). |
When will anime tackle zoomer nihilism? It does already, Anime are full of hope propaganda.LenRea said: 100% would watch lmao.I want another Welcome to NHK where this time around the main guy is a zoomer that became a hikikomori after covid, and the main girl is an onlyfans model with mental illness. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| I'd watch that lmfao. The more stupid plot the better. |
| Japan isnt on that generational label obsession that im aware of. It isnt real anyway, generational theory. But sure topical anime we could actually understand the references to might be fun. |

| @traed uh yeah, generational theory is real... or the labels wouldn't have existed in SOCIOLOGY and PSYCHOLOGY textbooks since... the Baby Boomers and The Greatest Generation and The Forgotten Generation started growing up. the main issue at hand is INTERNATIONAL issues. those labels mostly MOSTLY apply to Americans and other Western Countries. trust me, Japan has their generational theories as well. you just happen to not know them. |

| nope, not good. i wouldn't watch that. sounds vapid, shallow, and nobody would read that source manga/light novel except those over 20 years old who are too overly involved in their 'identity as a group'. also, The Zoomers? uhh... haha... you gonna wait another one to two DECADES till they grow up and have enough purchasing power to influence pop culture and multi-media empires with their cash? Zoomies are babies right now, the MILLENIALS are the ones in their 20's with the big money that corpo types want to target. |

| @KiliianSleipnir I meant the divides are drawn arbitrarily on a predetermined cycle and the main differences come from different ages and social circles rather than what generation someone was born in. Major events can influence people but such things do not occur on a predetermined schedule and they are different country to country and through different socioeconomic classes. |
| I would watch a joke series where the Mc is a sub five bullied zoomer who mews to become a chad. That is pretty much most reincarnation stories though. Lol |

| @traed many of them are historically accurate not arbitrary. the periods those folks were born in are fact and that is indisputable. the overall trends are gathered from millions upon millions of examples which easily lead to obvious statistical similarities. age and social circles are exactly what the generations are made up of, sociology is the study of social groupings which start at the broadest and most inclusive definitions possible. considering the worldwide impact of WW1 & WW2 they are EASILY the two most significant signposts on the planet since The Iron/Bronze/Stone ages. The Baby Boomers are literally named for the EXPLOSION in birth rates WORLDWIDE internationally post WW2. The Greatest Generation is so named due to them serving, surviving, and thriving during the years WW2 ravaged the whole Earth's human population. but i do agree, everybody AFTER the Boomers is a bit arbitrary. the metrics are more social and qualitative and less quantifiable. but! when those INSIDE those later generations easily EASILY see similarities amongst themselves... and often self-label or generally accept said label... and socio-economic (and yes nationalistic) conditions are the same? as i stated before, most of the labels presently bandied about in 'the media' post Boomers are Western in origin and apply mostly to those regions. but the Japanese use the Pre and Post war eras in their generational studies. rise in women's rights in their country. economic disparities, boom and bust/Bear and Bull markets/recessions etc. heck, anime itself gives great illustrations in how the Japanese have generational ideas and 'stereotypical concepts'. |

| @KiliianSleipnir you're a very peculiar gentleman who's just being disputatious for the sake of it, which would've been fine if I knew what the hell you're even going on about or what your point is. Don't take offense to this, but I'm afraid you're going senile, my dude. Take your meds and go to sleep. |

Isn't Chainsaw Man Zoomer nihilism? As Bebop was to the end of history Chainsaw Man is its lurch back into (even worse) motion?
| @rbp_pbr2 CSM is a badly animated shonenshit that endorses modren coomerism attractions, and it also supposedly takes place in the 90s. So, no, it's not the equivalent of a NHK with zoomer references. |

| @LenRea Just hating on csm for no reason at all... Masterfully directed series with godtiers character acting and art direaction. The storyline is as different from "shonenshit" as it can get (read the next arcs) but i guess you know it since haters tend to be well informed on the shows they're talking shit about. |
| An anime about a guy who does nofap and buys Jordan Peterson's books. |
 |
| The premise sounds interesting, the handling is what matters though. You don't need those archetypes to tackle the theme though, among other things, Everything Everywhere All at Once also tackles zoomer nihilism through the antagonist. |
| Nihilism? Never thought about it, I would rather say that Zoomers are much more idealistic than previous generations. They simply do not have the motivation and willpower to achieve something in the name of it. |
 |
| I would 100% watch something with the premise you came up with, sounds more interesting than any seasonal romcom that's been coming out in the last five years or so lol |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| This sounds like a good plot idea. I'd watch such anime. I also enjoyed "NHK ni Youkoso!", so watching an anime following a similar concept, just in modern setting, would be surely something fun. |

| @trinitroglycerin It's definitely "shonenshit" if it has braindead fanboys like you. |

| @LenRea I have that sentiment so yeah. Id rather something to troll the audience to get their reactions. Have some fat otaku guy get an e girl by learning how to talk to her and treat her right and then after loses weight going vegetarian and doing calisthenics not lifting then meets a femboy that makes it become a harem but not a pick me kind more like poly end. MC's favourite food: pineapple pizza from a pizza place that employs lolis but the main loli that delivers his pizza likes to eat bugs. I mean that sounds like an anime enough doesnt it. |
When will anime tackle zoomer nihilism? The perfect anime for that kind of subject is Onimai |
