AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Anime Girl Hiding From a Terminator' meme features a humorous fanart involving two characters: Nono Morikubo from the anime series THE iDOLM@STER, and a T-800 Terminator from the Terminator film series. In this meme template, Nono is depicted cowering under an office desk, fearfully peeking out, while the imposing T-800 Terminator is in search mode, seemingly looking for her. This juxtaposition of anime and action film genres provides a humorous and surreal visual.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a post on Twitter (now X) by user @tonmoh on April 17th, 2019, featuring the fanart of THE iDOLM@STER character Nono Morikubo hiding from a T-800 Terminator under an office desk. The concept caught on after a subsequent meme adaptation by user @Harucide on Twitter (now X) was also shared on the same day, quickly gaining traction in the online meme community.^[1]
