They bombard Facebook profiles, appear out of nowhere in Twitter discussions, and somehow always fit perfectly. I’m talking about all those anime images turned into memes that, besides showcasing their users’ creativity, also raise a question: What series do they belong to? The answer comes through reverse image search, and today we’ll explore two solutions fully focused on this.

How to find out which anime an image or meme belongs to

A girl places a handful of money on a wooden board. A young woman shows a photo of her supposed boyfriend, completely destroyed, on her smartphone. Thousands of edits on the web that change the context. When we turn an image into a meme, we do it thoroughly and without holding back, until it runs its course and ends up half-forgotten in limbo. But if the image was taken from an anime, the question is: Which one? Now, there’s always someone on a specialized forum willing to solve that doubt; however, you might get faster results with a reverse search. You just need to use the right tool… and it’s not Google.

Kyokō Suiri, also known as In/Spectre

The first one is trace.moe, and all you have to do is upload the image in question, either manually or via URL. You wait a few seconds, and the site will show the exact animated scene, along with the series name and episode number. I recommend doing this on a private computer, since some results are NSFW and could get you in trouble. Another way to use trace.moe is through its compatible browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. A right-click on the image, and the command “Search on trace.moe” takes care of the rest.

No, SauceNAO made a mistake here...

The second is SauceNAO, which sets aside the animated aspect in favor of a much more Spartan interface. The chances of success on SauceNAO tend to be higher thanks to the combination of multiple databases, but that doesn’t exempt the engine from making mistakes. For example, the aforementioned “coin girl” belongs to Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!, while the site suggests Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita?, with 71 percent accuracy. In contrast, the smartphone girl was correctly identified.
