      Let's become true hikikomori! ;) What anime should every true hikikomori watch?

      From Wikipedia:

      In Japan, hikikomori (Japanese: ひきこもり or 引きこもり, lit. "pulling inward, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal"; colloquially/adaptive translation: shut-in) are reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from society and seek extreme degrees of isolation and confinement.
      During the isolation period, let's see how it is to be a hikikomori. What do you think? What anime should a person like that watch? After we decide, let's watch it together!

      One vote per person.

      The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. (Noam Chomsky)
      (about neoliberalism) Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls. The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless. (Robert W. McChesney)
      Liberty without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality. (Mikhail Bakunin)
      Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! You imagine great things, and depict to yourself a whole world of gods that has an existence for you, a spirit-realm to which you suppose yourself to be called, an ideal that beckons to you. You have a fixed idea! Do not think that I am jesting or speaking figuratively when I regard those persons who cling to the Higher, and (because the vast majority belongs under this head) almost the whole world of men, as veritable fools, fools in a madhouse. (Max Stirner)

      I've started watching that anime, but I've never finished it. It was very confusing, but one day I must watch it again.

      @NataliaJulia

      Do you have another anime you'd like to vote for which is suitable for hikikomori?

      The pinnacle of social distancing must entail the entertainment that is most gratifying while disregarding accuracy to social norms, human nature, and everything having to do with actual human beings.


      I can think of four good ones that fit this so far:

      Show by Rock
      Urara Meirocho
      Bofuri
      Mairimashita Iruma-kun

      Maybe Kanamemo but it's ostensibly slice of life so it doesn't fit quite as well
