Canvas.Fediverse.Events ended, and this caught my eye. She looks familiar.

Who is this character from?

EDIT: Thank you so much!

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

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)
  • 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!

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

You're welcome! I kind of forget that anime/manga fan terminology is opaque. ~~ani.social did this to me.~~

[chuuni mode] WAHAHA! By being open to the depths of weaboo culture, you unlocked your evil eye and you're now able to appraise its arcane terminology! [/chuuni mode]

Serious now. As I was looking for a good/succinct definition of chuuni, I found this Wikipedia article, with a great example of a Western chuuni: Don Quixote. Like, he's considerably older than you'd expect from a chuuni, but it's the same sort of delusion as them!

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's the same link as you posted earlier, but I already know who you're talking about and totally get it!

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

That's what happens when you post sleep-deprived... thanks for pointing out.
