In the vast web of digital culture, memes have emerged as powerful expressions containing humor and shared experiences of whatever media offers. Memes are essentially digestible forms of messages that can come in the shapes of images, videos, or even texts—the mark of a good meme is how fast it spreads across the Internet.
How do they spread fast? They often capture relatable or humorous scenarios that people can sympathize with. See a meme discussing how work can be stressful? Unravel someone's meme-fied experience just to find it oddly relatable? Yep, that is the power of memes, and today we are bringing to light our favorite anime memes from Viu.
Crying Chopper

First up, we have this wonderful meme that became a template for many others. The origin of this meme has Chopper, a One Piece character, overwhelmed with emotion and just begins bawling uncontrollably. Originally, this scene was to show a more vulnerable side of Chopper, but it became an image that evokes laughter. I honestly find his character cute, but I can’t help but crack a smile whenever I see this reindeer creature cry uncontrollably.
Erwin’s odd question
From Reddit user noternedge on r/attackontitan
In a world where huge titans dominate the outer walls of humanity, humans have nothing else to do but discover more about them. Attack on Titan is a popular anime that unravels the world riddled with human-eating titans, focusing mainly on Eren Yaeger, the show's protagonist.
This meme, in particular, has Scout, the commander Erwin Smith, ask Eren an odd question due to the recent crime committed. In the midst of all the confusion, Erwin just confuses Eren more, hence the birth of this funny meme.
‘No Game No Life’ Season 2
From of @SentaiFilmworks on Twitter
If you are a fan of this anime, you know how starved the community of No Game No Life is. This meme is a general meme because it is a series that many of its fans have asked for a continuation of but never got any. Fans saw old anime that were released at the same time get an updated season while ‘No Game No Life’ remained in the dust.
Because of this, fans would post fake anime announcements on April Fool’s Day to remind everyone of the pain they continue to fight through in hopes of getting a second season! WHERE IS IT?!
Don’t worry if you gravitate towards this meme on an emotional level; just know that you are worth it to someone out there. Just take your time!
