The acronym neet was first used in the united kingdom to refer to young people who are not engaged in education, employment or training (social exclusion unit, 1999)

are you  annoyed of the character of "NEET" that appears in anime? just like NEET?

many times in anime, there are both NEET and otaku characters. In other words, he does not work and he is not at school, but somehow expensive anime · blu-ray, hundreds of cartoons, numerous games and game machines, figure collectors for high-quality dolls, etc.

this is just a coincidence.

in other words, the character can become an otaku even if it is not NEET, it can become a NEET without being a geek. they are not mutually exclusive, one does not need the other. otaku characters are often NEET as well.

for example, (Gate: JSDF, hero, Ito Yohji, Itami Yohji, his doujinshi addiction is a hobby In order to pay for, "I will work for the military." in Knight & Magic, the hero (before dying) worked as a programmer paying a robot model. Both characters were otaku, but not a "NEET" sicne they actually worked.
