Is it the funny reaction faces that be made into a reaction of anything and everything? One liners that sound totally bizarre out of context? those hilarious character quirks that get drilled into your head? the husbando/waifu bait? legendary scenes?

Discuss b4 lock pls.

The ridiculous reaction that characters make. I find it funny always in Bungou Stray Dogs. It was all about the faces
"This (anime) industry is weird" - Chitose Karasuma, Gi(a)rlish Number


I hope someday someone in an anime would say, "The (anime) viewers are weird."

Exagerated facial expressions like Nisekoi

Funny Situations that scream for context like Gintama

And for some reason moe shows like K-On

Seems like anything these days can become a meme with a little creative thinking, I don't think there's really much of a pattern.

The wierder and more out there = memes.
Being from a popular series also doesn't hurt.
Art shift reaction faces works well as memes.
Out context but if you know if, the "feels" hit (a response about someone remembering the scene and being sad is optional).
Studio Trigger.

Easily exploitable images, quotes, or trends in the series, the more popular the series the better. The more uses that you can get out of both also increase the lifespan of the image drastically. Basically anything that can inspire a ton of parodies.
Or conversely something that seems bizarre or strange completely out of context, usually in gif form, that catches a person's attention and demands research into the origins.
Or series that no matter what context the quote/image is used it still is completely out of place like say Seitokai Yakuindomo which is a goldmine for out of context quotes/images.

Basically it is either when an anime does something really really stupid or when it does something really really awesome. Since anime is the best and worst thing on the planet, literally all anime can be great sources for memes.

Because some scenes in anime incredibly suit the incidents and situations.
Plus they are funny as hell to see it repeatedly.

Nothing actually. It is just that anime fans are more autistic, no offense, than other people on the internet and hence make le funny meme out of everything. Remember something being a meme isn't an indicator for it being funny or something.

There has never been a meme machine as great as code geass

But yeah, for a show to be able to produce some quality memes it would either have
1. really stupid face such as those seen in danshi koukousei no nichijou, prison school or Nisekoi


2. The show also could have some really stupid shit going on
