| Correct me if I'm wrong, but technically since they are all freelance detectives they don't truly qualify as NEETs do they? |
 |
| They're not officially employed, except the MC who takes up a part-time job. |
| alice is freeter |
notsureifsrs said: They're not officially employed, except the MC who takes up a part-time job. I don't believe that the term NEET requires you to be "officially" employed, if you were self employed or employed by/volunteering for someone else (IE Alice), you still wouldn't be an actual NEET. |

| Everything needs more fanservice. Especially real life. |
| I was thinking the same thing while watching this...how are they NEETs when they are actually working? |
 |
| yeah its stupid. |
| I say, "Yes, she's partially NEET," but that's just me. *Shrug* |
| They aren't really working as detectives. It's kinda like a hobby, just something they do. If you had a NEET writing reviews for MAL, would you say he's working as a reviewer? |

| Also, the everyday usage of the word "Niito" is different from the official employment status of NEET. The only wtf in concept was |
| just to be sure, NEET mentioned in this anime is the same as what I know it to be in the UK, that is 'not in education, employment or training'? |
 |
| well for one thing, i would assume what you need to have to not be considered a NEET is a stable job... and with the kind of work she has (which needs to be clarified more later), I would count her as a NEET. |

| she definitely get paid for that that must be her income sorce.. I think by neet they meant that she is not employed... But all of it is stupid as long as they are in high school range... |
| A NEET, to my understanding, is a shut in. Someone who stays home 90% of the time, doesn't work (pay or no pay), doesn't interact with people other than by computer or texting, avoids physically social activity's like meeting up with friends to hang out. This has been it's meaning for as long as I can remember but with each generation it seems to change a little here and there. Same with the term Otaku. It used to be just associated with people that obsessed over any particular hobby but now it's tossed at anyone who has seen a few anime series or read a manga lol. |

| If you recall, the characters in Eden of the East who create the Eden web-site are all "NEETs", yet they create and run a web-site used by a large percentage of Japan's young people. I believe that people who are self-employed in jobs that are non-standard are still considered NEETs. |

If the NEET was getting paid by MAL to write those reviews I wouldnt consider him to be a NEET. So the thing with Alice is we dont know whether she is getting paid or not. zensunni said: If you recall, the characters in Eden of the East who create the Eden web-site are all "NEETs", yet they create and run a web-site used by a large percentage of Japan's young people. I believe that people who are self-employed in jobs that are non-standard are still considered NEETs. Thats not really true bc I do not think anyone would think Mark Zuckerberg (facebook) is a NEET nor any other site creator who is earning money from it. Anyways I just watched the first episode and was wondering about whether the creator got it wrong or was I missing something. |
| I doubt that the girl in the first episode payed them, so... |
| How can you say they are neets? I'm pretty sure if you have a client and do a job for them freelance or not. A job is a job, That like calling Gintoki a neet his clients never pay him but he does jobs for them. . |
| IMO they're NEETs How can someone without a job has the fridge full? plus if NEET's are mostly Otaku's and Hikikomori how do they manage buying stuff? I mean they have mangas,anime,food,etc? |

| They aren't NEETs. Even if you say they aren't doing a job, they are still training to be detectives. animegirlfreak said: IMO they're NEETs How can someone without a job has the fridge full? plus if NEET's are mostly Otaku's and Hikikomori how do they manage buying stuff?

visualanimes said: just to be sure, NEET mentioned in this anime is the same as what I know it to be in the UK, that is 'not in education, employment or training'? Yeahh just in anime they tend to be grouped with hikkikomori. This anime in particular seems to consider them almost the same thing... (I actually learned what NEET means through anime, so then when I saw it used on a pamphlet in a Connexions office I lol'd hard. XD) |
| Neet would also cover things like organized crime if this girl and her friends are neets, wouldn't it? |
|
| All in all I'm pretty sure that calling someone "NEET detective" is oxymoron. Since NEET is not employed and detective is without doubt a valid profession. |

| NEET is a government acronym to classify a group that's contributing to the economy's growth. If you aren't officially paid and paying taxes and not in education or training to do so then you are a NEET. Alice doesn't ask for payment for what she does and what payment she receives would be considered illegal because she doesn't pay taxes. What Alice does is best described as a hobby. A hobby is not one's job because there's no obligation to work or guarantee to be paid. It doesn't matter if you think she isn't a NEET because she's officially is by the government's classification. |

MarthX said: And even unofficially they're just doing it for the hell of it. I'm positive all the crap Alice has is paid by a third party anyway since I doubt "paying" cases come by every day. Also, you need to go through official education/training AND pass a test to officially be a detective. Alice is calling herself one, but the claim is false and she could be in hot water if she was caught snooping around (and if this wasn't an anime).NEET is a government acronym to classify a group that's contributing to the economy's growth.

As for the others, 1 is officially a NEET (the school dropout) while the other is officially studying and the last one is def a gigolo so yeah unofficially a real job. So you could say that group only has two real NEET's. I might add the Gintama comparison was beyond pointless. Not only does the Yorozuya have a valid business but they depend on it to pay the bills. It just happens that the jobs they do in the episodes are done on Gin's whim. It wouldn't be a comedy if all Gin did was simple jobs like exterminating rats or help fix a fence every episode. |

| For some of the people in the Anime they said they're NEET like Tetsu(A dropped High School guy) and also Hiro (Gigolo ) but well for Alice what I think about it is that maybe "NEET Detective" is some kind of Title to her cause everytime and for the first time she introduced her self "I am the NEET detective , The Speaker of Dead" That's what she said |
 |
| I don't like the way she claims herself as a NEET detective... a detective is a detective,what's the point of adding a NEET infront of it. I am a Salaryman Detective. I am a Martial art Detective. I am a Dentist Detective. I am a Otaku Detective. I am a hikikomori Detective. I am a Celebrity Detective. I am a Musician Detective. I am a CEO Detective. I am a SuperHero Detective. I am a Spartan Detective. I am a Inception Detective. I am a Yakuza Detective. I am a Sadist Detective. I am a 1LDK Detective. I am a Pirate Detective. I am a Ninja Detective. I am a Shinigami Detective. I am a Zombie Detective. I am a Vampire Detective. I am a Troll Detective. I am a Lunatic Detective. I am Dropping this anime. |
