It's Megumin from an anime called Konosuba
I MISSED THE EQUIVALENT OF PLACE IN LEMMY? Does anyone have context?
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
All over the platform!? This is the first time I'm hearing about it!
Tbh I also completely missed it. This post was the first I heard about it. How long was it going on?
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.
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
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 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!
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.
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 isekai (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.
Especially the Israeli (transported to another world) genre relies heavily on that to quickly explain what you can expect.
Are Israeli anime like isekai, but with Jewish undertones and/or mythology?

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.
She's Pico, from the "Boku no Pico Academia" native isekai cartoon. :^)
[I'm joking. As others answered, the character is Megumin, from KonoSuba. A chuuni who knows only a single magic, Explosion, that often hits her own allies. I recommend the show, by the way, even for people who aren't into isekai.]
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.~~

You are truly evil. Do you need a hug or something
Do you need a hug or something
Nah, Kazuma might get jealous.
You are mean. They'll have nightmares.
No, nightmares would be Redo of a Healer.
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.)
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.

It's a reployer from the hit game prey
You caught the corner of my Hi-Fi Rush and Crown ☺️
Also made the Keyblade on the second half of the canvas.
Charmander
I've seen her doing lots of wholesome stuff online, but I don't know the character
