Being a “NEET” in today’s fast-paced world seems like swimming against the tide. I have created this anime list with Neet MC, so the Neet audience or people stepping into the workforce can be inspired.
Anime stories revolving around NEET characters give an insightful view into the psyche of people who choose or are forced to withdraw from regular education or employment.
It shows their journey of self-discovery as they try to make peace with an unordinary lifestyle through rediscovering hobbies, forging new connections, and sometimes even helping others in small ways.
So without getting depressed about the future, let’s dig up some anime with neet mc best suited for adults.
9: Relife
Let’s kick off our list with a life-teaching anime “relife”. Why it’s life teaching? Because it kind of motivates adults to enjoy their high school life while preparing for the future.
Our protagonist, a 27-year-old unemployed man, feels like a failure who has resigned from a full-time job due to workplace bullies.
But then, one fateful day, a mysterious man approaches with an intriguing proposal – to test a new experimental drug that can rewind the clocks. Means this drug can make him 17 once again.
Agreed, our hero wakes up feeling 17 again, with a chance to redo high school. Can he be able to pull this off, watch on your own in this anime while learning from little bits of our neet mc.

Gradually, by opening their eyes to each other’s realities, the divide blurs. Whether it’s Hajime learning to appreciate Kaoru’s weary days or Kaoru finding calm in Hajime’s hobbies, they overcome barriers.
7: Btoom!

Alongside other plucked “NEETs” and criminals, he learns the horrifying rules – survive or be eliminated in a murderous game using explosive devices.

What Deadpool is to superhero franchise, just like that Osomatsu-san is to anime. Because it’s that hilarious and unarguably a hidden gem.
Storyline description was, it could look like a family-friendly anime, however, don’t be misled by its wholesome description because it’s fully loaded with dirty jokes aimed primarily at older teenagers.
