You don't have to be a fan of the manga series Naruto to appreciate these relatable object-labeling memes. This format is from the show's first episode, taken from a scene in which Naruto hides from Mizuki behind a tree. The meme is pretty simple in that people are using it to depict any situation involving hiding. The possibilities for this format are endless, which is probably why it's stuck around since early summer!

This remake of a manga by Kazuo Umezu deals with some very dark issues. Tomoko, our "hero" is overweight. When her crush rejects her for the extra pounds she is destroyed. Things unravel from there - gloriously.

Japanese cartoons have seeped into our culture whether we like it or not. Well, let's be real: we like it. These memes have something for the super-fans as well as some anime memes that pretty much anyone can relate to.

It's widely acknowledged by the anime-loving community that Netflix adaptations are devastatingly inferior to their manga and anime counterparts. Fans discontent was so strong that it eventually turned into a meme back in September - and it's still going strong. Here are some of our favorite renditions - one even featuring Charles McDowell, thicc neck himself!

Another batch of memes for the anime freaks - now with extra Goblin Slayer!

Seven years after his death, the CIA has released files seized during the 2011 raid of Osama bin Laden's Abbottabod compound. Among the files were his personal journal and planning materials - but we don't really care about that. What interests us most is that Osama (or one of his family members) was apparently into anime. 

The terrorist mastermind's computer yielded some funny stuff: pirated Naruto video games, an episode of the anime tiddies hentai series Bible Black, Charlie Bit My Finger, Mr. Bean and Antz. We can't neglect to mention the crocheting tutorials. While it's entirely possible that one of his many family members or couriers was the anime aficionado, we can't help but giggle at the thought of Osama bin Laden crocheting while watching hentai, or Naruto running around his Pakistan hideout. Here are some memes and reactions from other people who were equally amused.

Manga artist Abe Youichi is responsible for this bizarre and slightly disturbing comic. The artistry and attention to detail is impressive - as is the unexpected ending. 

After trucking through a number of delays and other obstacles, Attack on Titan is finally back with an all new season, new characters, and of course, new Titans.
