recommendations for social/otaku culture anime

[stocksatron]

I really liked welcome to the NHK and Genshiken as I found it interesting to see a perspective on the otaku and hakikomori culture of Japan, does anyone know any other anime's like these, not necessarily about otaku's but maybe about Japan's modern day social culture? Thank you

I can't think of any other anime that beats Welcome to the NHK in terms of story about otaku.
However, I would give a try to Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, but it's not very similar to Welcome to the NHK.
There is also Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) where otaku play a part in the story progression but is not that big of a deal.
A good list to read though would be this: Otaku Culture Anime.

My Little Sister Can't be this Cute is another...

The title sounds weird I know, but it actually isn't bad... It's a bit more girly though.. Probably too girly for your taste...

Kyosuke Kosaka, a normal 17-year-old high school student living in Chiba,[3] has not gotten along with his younger sister Kirino in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyōsuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day however, Kyosuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime which had fallen in his house's entrance way. To Kyosuke's surprise, he finds a hidden eroge (an adult game) inside the case and he soon learns that both the DVD and the game belong to Kirino. That night, Kirino brings Kyosuke to her room and reveals herself to be an otaku with an extensive collection of moe anime and younger sister-themed eroge she has been collecting in secret. Kyosuke quickly becomes Kirino's confidant for her secret hobby.
