Anime - Socialism with Kawaii Characteristics

Welcome to Lemmygrad's corner dedicated to anime memes and discussion! (manga/manhua/manhwa/donghua/aeni count too)

Remember to Read the Rules™:

  1. Absolutely no racism, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no misogyny, none of that!

  2. No low-quality images. Images containing text should be legible.

  3. Please mark spoilers with the prefix "[SPOILER]" in the title of your post.

  4. Please mark NSFW content as such. This does not, however, mean you can post hentai.

  5. Absolutely no NSFW content containing or involving minors will be tolerated.

Please report any posts or comments that are in violation of the rules.

Guidelines

  1. Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.

  2. Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.

  3. Try to provide sources for the images you post.

  4. There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

I barely watch anime, but I found Saitama from One Punch Man's ennui to be relatable.

Kinda afraid to ask, but since one-punchness is rather out, it's about being bald or dead inside?

Going to have to say Nagatoro Hayase. I'm a sucker for romance and rom-com.

I haven’t seen any anime in a while, but I’ll say Yugi is gender envy.

I think mine is Luffy from One Piece

I always found Oda's cavalcade of interesting villians the bigger draw.

Yes, Luffy does some clever stuff, but it's the classic main-character problem: you know the hero's going to win so it's just a matter of how.

I was always fascinated by Arlong for the narrative of "how do power structures change when humans aren't the dominant species", and loved the back-reference where we find out Arlong Park was designed to mimic Sabaody Park, leading into the whole "society is stratified in a very broken way" story that reaches its peak absurdity with the Tennryubito.

The relationship between CP9 and Spandam is perpetually comical.

Even Axe-hand Morgan, for a throwaway villian to establish the main narrative model, he had an interesting character design, and then the Jango side-story that shows his cherished career is built on a lie is an amazing piece of exposition.

Luffy kinda suffers from the annoying MC syndrome literally all long seasonal anime i ever seen have (except D.Gray Man, and just look what they did to Allen ffs) - he's too quirky. Actually most of other characters too, but the one we see the most have a time to get old on us.

Guts from Berserk

Everyone from Slayers

Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man
