dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I mean, it feels strange to me to say that there aren't a lot. I would sooner say that there are fewer rather than that there are strictly few. Just looking at the top 100 anime on Anilist, I'd say that there are actually quite a lot that seem to have primarily adult casts, although I suppose appearances and plot descriptions can be deceiving โ€” as can outright searching by the tag "primarily adult cast".

And then even of anime and manga that normally depict teenagers, there are a handful which have movies or spinoffs or whatever that depict the characters as adults. The YuruCamp Movie from 2022 stands out, that was a great movie. And Lucky Star has now an ongoing spinoff manga called Konata 30 which depicts all the characters in their 30s, that started last year.
