Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'NEET' concept and Akihabara culture references were already dated by 2010; Kamiyama deliberately made it feel immediate rather than timeless.
The Selecao system mirrors real Japanese anxieties about bureaucratic inaction and the 'lost decade'—the fantasy of one person cutting through red tape.
