>>113731033>he still ends the film as a jobless directionless NEETWhy should every fictional character be a "successful working" member of society in the end? Not everyone gets to be that in real life.
I think a NEET character is an interesting change for that, even more from Disney where characters like Barley tend to get shat on or MUST change to fit society standards and the general public kinda hate them for it.
The guy is happy that way and he helps in the house. Sure, it's a "logical step" that he gets his shit together and go to work like literally everyone else but maybe let this one character be different. Japan has NEET characters just right and shown in different ways and contexts, it's Americans (and others) that have a problem with them.
