Memetic Mutation/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Similar to the ''[[Rambo]]'' example in [[Memetic Mutation/Film|the film section]], in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned [[Super Robot]] show ''[[Voltes V]]'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[La Résistance|rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''[[Voltes V]]'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.

* The ending sequence from ''[[Clannad]]'', the touching "Dango Daikazoku", has been made into hundreds of different versions.

** Tomoya seems to be known to some as "the Clannadman". (Related expression: "You will never be the Clannadman!")

** Fuuko's love of starfish has reached memetic levels. "HITODEEE[[User:Gethbot|Gethbot]] ([[User talk:Gethbot|talk]])!<3"

** [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Tsubasa]]'s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. <ref>Explanation In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.</ref>

* Not from the anime itself, but from the English dub outtakes of ''[[Noein]]'':

** This gag continued in the outtakes for ''[[Durarara]]''

* Thanks to the characters in ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' never showing any panties even in angles where a [[Panty Shot]] should appear (naked flesh is shown instead), Japanese fans in 2chan have declared that "[[Vapor Wear|Saki is not wearing any]]".

* ... [[Cowboy Bebop|Bang.]] <ref>Explanation The final word of the series.</ref>
