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

Who is this character from?

EDIT: Thank you so much!

      I do not understand how people keep up with anime. There seems to be about 500 different shows and all of them seem to be insanely popular, I don’t understand how that works. Meanwhile I’ve never heard of literally any of them.

      Also why are they all suddenly called things like, The Exploded Moon Is My Godmother?

        A lot of anime are produced with a single season that can run for only 12 episodes with 25 minutes each including intro and outro.

        Some of those more popular ones do get further seasons but not on a yearly basis but there could be years between them. In case of konosuba the first season came out in 2016 with 10 episodes and second season in 2017 also with 10 episodes. Season 3 only released this year so quite a long gap between them.

        However, the really popular ones are fairly overshadowing the general amount of shows being released. Just this season we got 54 new anime releases and 29 “continuing” according to MAL.

        Some of those seasons are really strong like the spring season of this year in which a lot of very popular shows are released. Other seasons could then be fairly slow.

        And since they are all produced to promote the source material that source material has to differentiate itself from the rest and draw people in quickly through the title. So you get titles like

        • How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift?
        • God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
        • Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
        • Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

        Especially the isekai (transported to another world) genre relies heavily on that to quickly explain what you can expect.

        And then you shouldn’t forget that this is only that visible because more and more anime are actually making their way onto other platforms for the western audience.

          Especially the Israeli (transported to another world) genre relies heavily on that to quickly explain what you can expect.

          Are Israeli anime like isekai, but with Jewish undertones and/or mythology?

        They got lazy with naming and after a couple ended up being good despite the stupid as fuck name, it became a fad. I hope it dies the horrible death it deserves. I don’t think I even look at an anime if it’s got a name like that now. I just can’t.

    That is a part-fully autonomous remote detonator.
    It stops being autonomous after the detonation, until it is recharged.

    The remote charge is fully contained within it and is able to remotely deploy and detonate the charge, given LOS and other conditions are favourable.

    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.]

        • 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!

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

        Objective achieved.

        (Some might look into Boku no Hero Academia though. I’m not a big fan of the series but plenty people like it.)
