Unforgettable Anime Memes

Gary Oak

If you are looking for the anime equivalent of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, look no further than Gary Oak.

The obnoxious teen was not afraid to show his snobbish side to fans when he debuted decades ago in the first Pokemon titles. Ash Ketchum was also roped in with the ritzy trainer and forced to be his rival as Gary Oak schmoozed around. After all, the kid did have a sports car at the age of ten. The anime fandom tends to make fun of Gary's badass status with the 'Gary Motherf*cking Oak' meme, so you can use it whenever appropriate.

Find The Main Character

When you are looking for a main character in an anime, the task seems to be pretty easy.

All you have to do is find the character with some crazy colored hair. Shows like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Bleach are known for the colorful protagonist, but shojo series are culprits as well. So, if you want to spot an anime heroine, look for the girl with bubblegum-pink hair.

Notice Me, Senpai

In the world of shojo, it seems like every girl wants their precious senpai to notice them. The phenomenon has since been turned into an all-out meme with even the most docile show getting a senpai GIF. If you have ever wanted your crush to notice you and they happen to be one of your seniors, then you already know how this feeling works.

It’s Over 9000!

There are few anime memes as ubiquitous as the 'Over 9000' meme from Dragon Ball Z. The dialogue was recorded by mistake and given an okay by studios overlooking the anime's English dub. Vegeta's over-dramatic delivery of the line has since made fans fawn over it, and now the Internet uses the term to show their excitement for everything. Seriously, even something like gas station sushi can take hold of the meme if a netizens spins it the right way.
