The Best Meganekkos In Anime

A combination of shyness and spectacles, the meganekko archetype occupies her own unique niche within the anime world. And no, this does not refer to "Mega Nekos," the "supersized cats" present in other anime. Instead, the anime meganekko, also known as the “glasses girl," often fills the role of supporting character with a sweet, quiet, and soft-spoken demeanor. Though seemingly helpless at times, a meganekko usually reveals herself to be the anime's smartest character. Her glasses are her most important feature, distinguishing her from the rest of the group while maintaining an air of intelligence, cuteness, and innocence.

However, there exists a subset of meganekko who possesses a more scheming nature, using her quiet disposition to get what she wants or hide a secret. Despite her devious nature, she always maintains her sweet attitude while carrying out plans, making her an equally compelling anime villain. As you can see, meganekkos might rock a certain aesthetic, but they use it to get away with all sorts of agendas, both benign and nefarious.
