Origin
The image of the penguin likely comes from a series of stock photographs featuring 3D renderings of penguins in various costumes (shown below).[1]
The earliest known usage of the "No Anime Penguin" was scrapped from a deleted post on Imgur on December 8th, 2017 by Me.me.[2] The post (shown below) is captioned "When your friend asks you if you want to see The Incredibles 2, but you're on a diet."
Spread
The following year, on March 28th, 2018, Redditor [3] FarGuardian posted another 3Dalia penguin with a "no anime"-inspired caption. They wrote over a cowboy penguin, "Move along, citizen. There is no anime to see here." The post (shown below, left) received more than 3,300 points (96% upvoted) and 50 comments in six months.
On June 16th, 2018, YouTuber apandah posted a meme review of the image. The post (shown below, right) received more than 255,000 views in in three months.
