tanasinn (タナシン tanashin?) is an Internet meme that originated on the 2channel BBS. What tanasinn is, exactly, cannot be explained very clearly, but it is frequently accompanied by a surrealistic atmosphere. Often characters called tanasinn are expressed by (and thus associated with) Shift_JIS art of a deteriorated Doraemon. It is said that it does not have a meaning; rather, it is not something to think about, but something to be felt. It is often used as kopipe on 2channel.
Around January 2004, on a news board, one person anonymously posted bizarre Shift_JIS art of Doraemon called “tanasinn”, so with that surrealism, the ambiguous art became known; the obscure meaning being unknown, these surreal posts generally came to be called like “feeling [the] tanasinn”.

[edit] What tanasinn may be
It has been said that tanasinn is or is composed of the following kinds of things:
- A locationless, degenerating atmosphere that makes people feel anxious.
- Symbols of the fundamental fear and awe of mankind’s senses facing the erosion.
- There is another world and another spirit in the Internet, and it is changing the whole world’s form. We can always see tanasinn. tanasinn is never scared.
- It is merely surrealistic things. However, surrealistic things that are not turned tanasinn as art on 2channel are not called tanasinn.
- In a similar way to the Samejima incident, the real substance of it cannot be said for certain. (see MacGuffin)
- “Don't think. Feel and you'll be tanasinn.”
[edit] Etymology of tanasinn
The meaning of the term “tanasinn” has yet to be proven; the producers themselves also do not attach any specific meaning to the name, and the surrealisticness brought about means that this is, perhaps the original intention. Also, it isn’t even known if “Tanashin” (タナシン?) is the correct reading. The following are speculation as to what the derivation might be.
- The mathematical expression tanAsinN.
- An abbreviation of Tanaka Shin’ichi (田中信一?).
- An abbreviation of Tanaka Shin’ichiro (田中慎太郎 tanaka shin’ichiro?, alternatively shin’ichirō).
- An abbreviation of Tanashi Credit Union (田無信用金庫 tanashi shin’yōkinko?) (which doesn’t exist).
- An abbreviation of Tana Credit Union (田奈信用金庫 tana shin’yōkinko?) (which doesn’t exist)
- A mistype of fusianasan.
- A mistype of tanoshii (楽しい? meaning “fun”, “pleasant”, etc.).
- A corruption of Japanese for “normal Anonymous” (ただのななしさん tada no nanashi-san?).
- A corruption of Japanese for hives (蕁麻疹 jimmashin?).
- The Tanashi area in the Tokyo metropolitan area (now actually Nishitōkyō).
- An allusion to “Tanashin Denki Co., Ltd.” (タナシン電機 tanashin denki?, “Denki” meaning “electronics” or “appliances”), a real-life electronics manufacturer.
- The Japanized form of Greek mythology’s god of death, Thanatos (タナトス tanatosu?) suffixed with “death” (死 shi?, although many readings of it have some sort of “n” sound following immediately).
[edit] Shift_JIS art
This Shift_JIS art of a deteriorated Doraemon was posted in a PC game board in a thread about Steam in 2003. It is sometimes called “Stea-emon” (スチえもん suchiemon?) for this reason.

Currently, other various types of Shift_JIS art captioned “tanasinn” are posted. They do not just stay at deteriorated Doraemon; they also infect, encroach on, and deteriorate other various pieces of Shift_JIS art and give it the distinctive look of tanasinn.
