Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar.
Who is this character from?
EDIT: Thank you so much!
Megumin from KonoSuba. It’s a hilarious show, I’d recommend giving it a watch.
It’s Megumin from an anime called Konosuba
Megumin from a comedy Anime called “Konosuba”
Wikipedia (!?): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megumin?wprov=sfla1
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.
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.]
- 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!
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
