The 'You Want to Disrespect Anime?' meme typically features a dramatic or menacing character—often a stereotypical 'mall ninja' or an intense anime protagonist—challenging someone who has insulted the medium. It plays on the 'teleports behind you' and 'I have the power of God and anime on my side' tropes, oscillating between genuine fan defense and self-aware 'cringe' humor. The template is widely used on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Discord to humorously overreact to mild criticisms of Japanese animation, highlighting the perceived intensity of the otaku community.
