Welcome to the NHK is definitely one of the classic anime of the 21st century as it delve into serious problems of contemporary society: Consumerism, Hikikomori, Depression, Suicide and Capitalism. I think to really understand why NHK is a great series, we have to first take psychoanalysis seriously. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was mentioned several times in both the anime and the novel. Therefore, this video have tried to use the psychoanalytic theories that of Freud and of Jacques Lacan. I tried to include an economic, social and political analysis of capitalism but I think it would be biting off more than I could chew. I am not a trained psychoanalyst nor do I have a degree in philosophy, however, it doesn't hurt to try to read and understand their work. Thanks for watching and I hope you liked it.
This was a really difficult video to make since I had to read lots of papers and books by Freud and Lacan. I really thank the philosopher Slavoj Žižek and psychoanalyst Bruce Fink for their works on psychoanalysis, they have made Lacanian theories more accessible to a weeb like me...
To those of you who are struggling with life, do your best. I dedicate this video to you. Please, stay strong.
