Submission declined on 16 December 2025 by Fermiboson (talk). This draft's references do not show that the neologism meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the term in detail, not just brief mentions or routine use; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as promoted or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

• Comment: I would not be too surprised if the subject was notable, but if it was, it would be because it received significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent and secondary sources - not Know Your Meme. Fermiboson (talk) 10:31, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Animation Meme is short animation of a character – usually Original Character (OC) – dancing or sometimes singing along to music, created to be easily adopted by other animators with their own characters. The original animation is made for the express purposes of being mimicked and spread, as a regular meme would.^[1]

Animation memes have their roots in the Japanese reanimation memes of the mid-2000s. The first animation meme is generally considered to be Caramelldansen. Like modern animation memes, they mainly consisted of users animating different characters to the associated song used in the meme.^[2]

They come in a variety of music. Ranging from Classic J-Pop and Vocaloid to Hit Music from international regions. Such as the Photo ID Meme, Red Flags, Don't Touch my Pizza meme, and many more.^[3]

Anime and chibi styles are the most common as OCs, due to animation memes originating from anime and Nico Nico Douga. Because of this, animation also mimics anime, including low frame counts, minimal movements, and choppy animation. Vocaloid and Backgrounds syncing with the music are common.

The thumbnails contain the character used in the meme placed beside or on top the title of the meme. Alongside with the names of the characters shown under.

When artists link an Animation Meme from their website, they credit the original creator. This acknowledges their work. This is done in order to avoid plagiarism.^[4]
