About

Smug Anime Face refers to a variety of reaction images featuring anime characters with a smug smile on their faces that are often used in manga and anime-related discussions.

Origin

The first known usage of the term "Smug Anime Face" can be traced to a reply post to a Greentext thread on 4chan's /v/ Video Games board on August 3, 2012, featuring the character Yozora Mikazuki from the 2011 comedy anime series Haganai, or Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, chastising the author for his post.[1] Later that same day, another user in turn criticised the response, primarily for it's use of a generic GIF in response, featuring the term "smug anime face".[2]

I'm enjoying my Friday weekend by taking it easy, eating some food I like, eating some food that tastes good, and watching shows I like 149682765 By posting s--- like "tfw no gf." "home alone on a Friday night," etc. you're not only doing nothing about the problem, but you're making it worse.
