It’s fun to observe the way visual memes move from one anime series to the next, always evolving and changing in interesting ways. One anime I’m watching this season is Inu x Boku SS (pronounced Inu-Boku Secret Service), a show about a girl who is half-human, half-youkai (Japanese magical spirit), watched over by a “Secret Service” (a full-time bodyguard) who she starts to feel affection for. The show is a treasure trove of contemporary anime memes which were often invented by other shows but adapted and built on by this series, including the hawt tsundere with the “Absolute Zone” stockings-and-skirt fashion, a nosebleed-prone yuri comic relief character, and the dashing fox-spirit bodyguard with mismatched color eyes. (Incidentally, we carry many interesting manga series on J-List including Inu x Boku SS, as well as epic anime magazines like Megami and NyanType, loaded with free posters from currently-running shows.)
Inu x Boku is filled with delicious visual memes.
