* ''[[Detroit Metal City]]'' is focused on the [[Heavy Metal]] and [[Visual Kei]] subcultures. It's actually gotten at least one [[Shout-Out]] [[Defictionalization|from an actual]] [[Visual Kei]] act. |

* ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' has a protagonist who is at least strongly implied to be ''hikikomori'', though they never outright use the term. For an example of how strongly they imply it, in one episode he has to visit the school library to get a book. Entering the school and walking to the library is treated as a ''[[Metal Gear]]''-style sneaking mission, and involves no less than two flashbacks. If he had simply walked in the front door and directly to the library, it would have taken less than a minute. Instead, it takes half the episode. |

** There's also an episode early on where Jun goes outside to get Hina Ichigo's favourite snack, which she had been bugging everyone about since the episode began. Jun's fears of his classmates and the outside world are greatly emphasised- even the short walk to the door suddenly looks like a mile away. |
