Once upon a time, it was kind of embarrassing to tell someone that you liked anime. Anime was something people looked down upon for some reason. In recent years, however, tons of people have gotten into anime and found themselves a new passion and pastime. Anime is for everyone, and recent times have proven that.

Anime is, of course, any Japanese animated TV show or series. Mangas are also a popular choice for those who prefer to read rather than watch. There are thousands of different animes out there for people to enjoy. There are some for those who like romance, there are plenty for those who enjoy fighting and adventure, and there are some for people who like sci-fi and fantastical elements. Everyone can get into anime if they try.

Anime goes hand-in-hand with memes. There aren't many things left in the world that don't have memes made about it. Reddit's /r/animemes is a subreddit dedicated to sharing the most relevant and most entertaining anime-related memes out there. Here are just 26 of them that every anime lover can enjoy.
