Earth-chan is a sweet anime girl, but she has a problem – people think she’s flat. Poor little Earth-chan has to go around telling folks that she, in truth, is not flat all. Too bad no one ever believes her…

Earth Chan isn’t flat from Animemes

The sage of Earth-chan began on November 30, 2017. Youtube personality Trinimmortal shared a thought on Twitter:

Someone should make an anime where the planets in our Solar System are cute anime girls attending school and there's a running gag where Earth-chan is self conscious about her smaller chest, to which she constantly responds "I-I'M NOT FLAT!"

— Trinimmortal (@Trinimmortal) December 1, 2017

Earth-chan’s insecurity of being flat stems from the real world conspiracy theory that Earth is a flat disc as opposed to being an oblate spheroid.

But enough science, we are here for the anime memes! Shortly after Trinimmortal Tweet, artist Desempregado-sama drew a quick illustration:

It's not an anime, but .. pic.twitter.com/vG3PjyYU2M

— Desempregado-sama (@felipecunhaeloi) December 4, 2017

Other artists have jumped on the Earth-chan bandwagon, bringing their own vision to the image-conscious planet. DeviantArt user DatWeirdoWhoLuvsMilk drew Earth-chan as a sickly girl suffering from pollution. Oh, and she is not flat:

And what is life without a little bit of realism?

Seriously, don’t call Earth-chan flat and someone really needs to make this into an anime.

Japan and global fan artists love seeing their favorite characters in seasonal attire. Snuggle up with some warm cocoa and appreciate these artists who celebrate the season with Santa suits, fuzzy sweaters, and lots of love!

You can see more of Sushio’s sketches by following him on Twitter.

Artist @ZeaW90, also known as Zea Webb, has fans falling in love with a series of crossover illustrations imagining the cast of My Hero Academia as Pokémasters.  Each character has a team of Pokémon tailored to their personalities, like Bakugo possessing fiery and aggressive Pokémon and Denki powering up with every Pikachu ever.

Check out the series and notice the Pokemon come complete with scars, smiles, or dopey faces that match their trainer.

If Zea Webb’s style is your thing, he also has free-to-read comics on Tapastic and you can help support him on Patreon.

Earth-chan is the internet’s latest waifu and meme queen.

A simple joke from Trinimmortal alluding to Flat Earth believers and anime tropes has escalated into fans drawing Earth as an anime girl who has to constantly defend that she is not flat.

The Internet has been overtaken with each artist adding their own style to Earth-chan.

Fan artists fell in love with the style Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni), and the community has been pumping out art at an insane clip!

One such artist is Ekita, who has created detailed character cards for some of the cast. Not only do they feature Ekita’s beautiful artwork, but stats based on the character and the real-life gem are also showcased.

What are your favorite Zero Two drawings?

We are living in a golden age of personifications! Everywhere we turn, artists are turning objects, mythical creatures, and planets into cute anime girls.

The latest sensation takes a dark turn with Clorox-chan and Tide Pod-chan, both of which are associated with bleach drinking. While both adorable characters are closely linked, they have different origins.

Who is Tide Pod-Chan?

Most young, hip internet users are familiar with the Tide Pod challenge, which involves popping a detergent packet in your mouth. No, most of the “challengers” are not suicidal. Despite most Tide Pod challenge videos being parodies, the U.S Poison Control Center reported that 55 teens intentional ate detergent packets in 2017 – their reasons were not reported.

Now, let’s back to Tide Pod-chan! As part of a joke, Instagram user shared a drawing of her on January 1, 2018 with a “do not eat” warning.

Azumi would cosplay as Tide Pod-chan a day later.

Naturally, the internet pounced on Tide Pod-chan like a pack of hungry children at a laundromat:

Man, that looks delicious…I wish I had a tasty beverage to wash that packet down with…

Meet Clorox-chan

Bleach drinking is commonly used internet adage that describes a person’s displeasure with something. Watched Boku no Pico? Better reach for the bleach. Hunter x Hunter is on hiatus again? Better sip on some bleach! Someone likes something you hate? BLEACH FOR MY ENEMIES!! You get the point.

Artist Kuma Artsu gave Clorox an anime makeover, with the sultry Clorox-chan wondering why people keep trying to drink her.

And what do you know, Pervychu Alice cosplayed as Clorox-chan the next day!

Other artists gave Clorox-chan a darker twist, depicting her as a sadist luring you to a painful death.

What will artists personify next?

On Monday, Tokyo received a record snowfall of 16 cm (6.3 inches), which caused flight cancelations and public transit delays. This is the cities largest snowfall since 2014.

While travelers and workers were thrown into a world of chaos, other citizens decided to have fun creating snow sculptures! Some many people joined in on the fun that the #雪だるま hashtag began trending Twitter.

Here are some of the creative snow sculptures that people have been sharing.

What are your favorite Pop Team Epic drawings?

Warm embraces, loving gazes, and delicate touches populate the sensual illustrations by Zipcy.

The South Korean peppers her ‘TOUCH’ line of illustrations with moments inspired by her own relationship with her husband.

Zipcy succeeds in translating the intimate stage of love and recreates the feeling of touching in her softly-lit illustrations.

And some of the illustrations can be slightly erotic, because who doesn’t like being a little risque with their love?

Once you’re done gawking at these samples, you can see more sensual illustrations from Zipcy on Instagram and Grafolio.

Are you ready to experience Luc Besson’s classic The Fifth Element in a whole new light?

The English-language French science-fiction film was a smash hit when it opened in 1997. It has earned a global cult following due to stellar performances from Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, and Chris Tucker.

Artist Ahriman has drawn a handful of key scenes from The Fifth Element with a late-90s influenced art style.

Ahriman’s anime-inspired take on The Fifth Element has us dreaming of an anime adaptation.

The likable cast, humor, and over-the-top action would fit right in with the medium.

And don’t forget the unique alien designs and sci-fi set, which Besson said were a challenge to film.

Plus, a new generation can fall in love with Leeloo’s fun antics and witty observations.

Would you watch The Fifth Element as an anime?

Yusuke Nakamura is one of Japan’s biggest illustrators. Clean lines, profile shots, busy backgrounds, an attractive use of pastel colors punctuate his works.

Most anime fans know Namakura for designing the cast of The Tatami Galaxy and The Night is Short, Walk on Girl. He’s also drawn server CD covers for the alt-rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation.

It’s not often that a foreign-born artist is able to break into the manga industry, which makes Tiv unique.

Tiv was born in Seoul, South Korea and is arguably the most known Korean artist in the industry. She’s very progressive considering the political tensions that remain to this day between Korea and Japan.

She’s gained popularity for her soft, delicate moe style that feels quintessentially Japanese but evolved from her Korean roots.

Tiv made her comic debut in 2007

She released a sweet slice of life manhwa set in Korea named Annyeong! -We are Peanuts-, which was canceled after two volumes. In 2010, she moved to Japan and took on a Japanese project that set her on a path toward becoming a popular manga artist by adapting Hikaru Sugii’s light novel: Heaven’s Memo Pad

Tiv’s move to Japan paid off in the form of her 2012 project that became a breakout hit: Masamune-kun’s Revenge. This series written by Hazuki Takeoka has generated nine manga volumes illustrated by Tiv, one light novel, a 2017 anime adaptation, and a global horde of fans.

Masamune-kun’s Revenge has become a best-selling manga series and is often praised for Tiv’s attractive artwork.

Inbetween drawing the ongoing chapters of Masamune-kun’s Revenge, Tiv has designed the cast of Idol Incidents and Two Car.

Tiv also drew the in-series illustrations found in Eromanga-sensei.

Are you a fan of Tiv’s style?

You can find Tiv’s illustrations on her official Pixiv, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts.

Vee is a French artist known for drawing some pretty trippy illustrations. Seriously, some weird stuff.

But she’s also dabbled in pop culture, like this amazing mashup of Cartoon Networks characters cosplaying as the cast from Naruto Shippuden.

Can you recognize the Naruto character inspiration in each mashup below?

Dexter (Dexter’s Laboratory)

Johnny Bravo (Johnny Bravo)

Samurai Jack (Samurai Jack)

Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)

Ishida exploded onto the scene in 2010 when his Tokyo Ghoul one-shot came in second place at the Weekly Young Jump 113th Grand Prix. Fans were impressed with the story about a college student struggling to maintain his human life despite being a half-ghoul, and Shueisha would later commission the series for a full run.

Tokyo Ghoul ran from 2011 to 2014 for 144 chapters. It would receive a light novel and an anime adaption, with Ishida writing a brief prequel manga titled Tokyo Ghoul [Jack].

In 2014, it was revealed that he would work on a sequel titled Tokyo Ghoul:re, which featured a time skip. It’s currently ongoing and is receiving an anime adaptation.

Fans quickly fell in love with Tokyo Ghoul for Ishida’s artwork and world building. The series builds out Ghoul society and how the flesh eaters try to blend in the human world. Concurrently, it shows humanity trying to eradicate the Ghouls.

The lynchpin of the series is Ken Kaneki, a college student who became a half-ghoul after a lifesaving surgery. His duality of maintaining a human identity while being forced into Ghoul society captivated fans and has them fully invested in his dark journey.

Tokyo Ghoul is an international phenomenon and has gained Ishida millions of fans. However, much of his life is a mystery. No one has seen Ishida’s face, nor is his age known. For the longest time, it was believed that Tokyo Ghoul was his first ever project.

A little digging reveals that Ishida worked on two webcomics before Tokyo Ghoul – 2009’s The Tale of Longing for Sex and 2010’s THE PENISMAN. Yeah, Ishida worked on pervy stories, but they are nearly impossible to find since he deleted his Pixiv account.

Ishida’s other works include a parody series titled School of Ghoul and a one-shot of Hunter x Hunter‘s Hisoka.

Ishida maintains personal privacy, but that doesn’t stop him from interacting with fans on social media. The mangaka loves sharing illustrations and updates on Tokyo Ghoul.

He also draws fanart, including a sketch of Olympic gold medalist Yuzuru Hanyu.
