Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar.
Who is this character from?

Charmander
Megumin from a comedy Anime called “Konosuba”
Wikipedia (!?): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megumin?wprov=sfla1
It’s Megumin from an anime called Konosuba
Megumin from KonoSuba. It’s a hilarious show, I’d recommend giving it a watch.
But like, not if anyone you respect is around
Unfortunately as it is with half of all anime.
Looks like Minecraft but since you are posting it in the time of that current places / flags fashion trend, it is probably something out of that subculture.
Wow. It’s not often that I see someone so confident, and yet so wrong at the same time.
First time on the internet?
Yeah you’re right. I don’t know why I’m surprised.
And even worse it feels too confident to be a troll.
Impressively incorrect. Do you just think all video games are called Minecraft or something? And flags aren’t a subculture nor are they some kind of tend that’s going around.
… what?
She’s Pico, from the “Boku no Pico Academia” native isekai cartoon. :^)
You are mean. They’ll have nightmares.
Objective achieved.
(Some might look into Boku no Hero Academia though. I’m not a big fan of the series but plenty people like it.)
No, nightmares would be Redo of a Healer.
There are so many words that I don’t understand
- Megumin = the character
- KonoSuba = the anime series (the actual title is rather long)
- chuuni = basically a delusional teen who sees the world through rather coloured glasses. (I’m being simplistic)
- isekai = stories where the main protagonist (not Megumin in this case, but her friend Kazuma) is sent to another world, often a fantasy one (that’s the case here).
Thank you! I’m not into anime and now your comment makes much more sense for me!
You’re welcome! I kind of forget that anime/manga fan terminology is opaque.
ani.social did this to me.
TIL chuuni!
[chuuni mode] WAHAHA! By being open to the depths of weaboo culture, you unlocked your evil eye and you’re now able to appraise its arcane terminology! [/chuuni mode]
Serious now. As I was looking for a good/succinct definition of chuuni, I found this Wikipedia article, with a great example of a Western chuuni: Don Quixote. Like, he’s considerably older than you’d expect from a chuuni, but it’s the same sort of delusion as them!
That’s the same link as you posted earlier, but I already know who you’re talking about and totally get it!
That’s what happens when you post sleep-deprived… thanks for pointing out.
You are truly evil. Do you need a hug or something
Do you need a hug or something
Nah, Kazuma might get jealous.
I wouldn’t call it “isekai” as in the general term. It’s a “isekai parody” or rather making fun of the genre “isekai”.
Personally I see it simply as a comedy isekai. Or at most an isekai parodying common isekai tropes. That’s up to definitions though, so there isn’t a “right” answer.
The anime is more comedy than isekai, the light novels on the other hand are definitely more isekai adventure than comedy. I personly did not like the anime, i hated aqua. The books though were much better, i still hated aqua for the majority of the books. The stroy had a really good ending, i mean they go fight the demon king and everything which just seemed so impossible to begin with
i still hated aqua for the majority of the books.
I’m not surprised - a lot of people hate Aqua. She’s whiny, entitled, and she’s always finding a way to fuck it up. I like her as a character doing a role in a story, but as a person (or god, whatever) I’d probably stay away from her.
About the anime being “more comedy than isekai”: at least for me comedic value and “isekainess” are completely orthogonal. Even if both are used to define genres, one is primarily about the target reaction on the audience (to make them laugh), another about the setting (another world than the one that the protag is from).
My comment about the anime being more comedy was a direct comparison to the books which are more of an adventure story instead of a comedy one. I just used isekai as an adjective where i shouldn’t have, which i could have been put better, sorry.
About our dear goddess Aqua, shes bad in the anime but her action come off as less serious. In the books a lot of the time it is clear she is purposely being a huge bitch and pain in the ass for no reason other then to be passively malicious. She definitely has some good moments, which she ruins every single time. Good read, waaay better then i first thought from my impressions of the anime.
I MISSED THE EQUIVALENT OF PLACE IN LEMMY? Does anyone have context?
I missed it too! Guess I don’t sub to the right communities?
If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!
Sorry mate. It just ended today. I’m surprised you haven’t heard of it considering it was all over the platform, but you can see the end result at !canvas@toast.ooo
Tbh I also completely missed it. This post was the first I heard about it. How long was it going on?
ITT: proof of the statement that on the Internet, censorship happens not by having too little information, but too much information not all of which reaches all people who might want to know it
It went on for roughly 3 days. Canvas happened last year this time and it’ll happen again next year, so keep a look out.
All over the platform!? This is the first time I’m hearing about it!
I suspect the problem was that like a lot of people they’ll be on clients that don’t seem to actually like it. I couldn’t get it to work except on desktop, and I don’t really use desktop to browse Lemmy all that up much.
I’ve seen her doing lots of wholesome stuff online, but I don’t know the character
That’s the ultimate arch-wizard, the number one mage in axel! Otherwise known as crazy explosion girl
Exploooooooooooooooooosion! Can you Carry me back?
I do not understand how people keep up with anime. There seems to be about 500 different shows and all of them seem to be insanely popular, I don’t understand how that works. Meanwhile I’ve never heard of literally any of them.
Also why are they all suddenly called things like, The Exploded Moon Is My Godmother?

A lot of anime are produced with a single season that can run for only 12 episodes with 25 minutes each including intro and outro.
Some of those more popular ones do get further seasons but not on a yearly basis but there could be years between them. In case of konosuba the first season came out in 2016 with 10 episodes and second season in 2017 also with 10 episodes. Season 3 only released this year so quite a long gap between them.
However, the really popular ones are fairly overshadowing the general amount of shows being released. Just this season we got 54 new anime releases and 29 “continuing” according to MAL.
Some of those seasons are really strong like the spring season of this year in which a lot of very popular shows are released. Other seasons could then be fairly slow.
And since they are all produced to promote the source material that source material has to differentiate itself from the rest and draw people in quickly through the title. So you get titles like
- How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift?
- God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
- Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
- Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
Especially the Israeli (transported to another world) genre relies heavily on that to quickly explain what you can expect.
And then you shouldn’t forget that this is only that visible because more and more anime are actually making their way onto other platforms for the western audience.

Are Israeli anime like isekai, but with Jewish undertones and/or mythology?
Lol, well that is a funny typo.
I Still need to geht used to my New keyboard in my phone (and the keyboard apparently to me)
You caught the corner of my Hi-Fi Rush and Crown ☺️
That is a part-fully autonomous remote detonator.
It stops being autonomous after the detonation, until it is recharged.The remote charge is fully contained within it and is able to remotely deploy and detonate the charge, given LOS and other conditions are favourable.
why is there a russian flag
Could be an attempted Slovakian flag.
It’s a reployer from the hit game prey
