How I Feel In My Hometown

How I Feel In My Hometown (also How It Feels In My Hometown) is a TikTok editing fad that overlays anime or game character clips onto footage of familiar local spots—malls, rural roads, suburban strips—while captions express feeling out of place back home.

@xxlastunicorncat's August 30, 2026 Marin Kitagawa edit cleared 317,600 views; September posts accelerated with @rosstheboss28's Chainsaw Man Tennessee edit at 395,800 views, @crux_x5's Jujutsu Kaisen Geto clip at 434,600 views, and @jiminiemochioppa's South Texas JJK post at 598,300 views. Know Your Meme filed a submission September 17, 2026, grouping the format as anime-meets-hometown nostalgia humor.

howifeelinmyhometown.com can publish region-tagged edit recipes—audio stems used across JJK and Chainsaw Man variants, safe location-filming tips, and galleries sorted by US region without doxing private homes.

hometownanime.com fits a character-index vertical: which franchises dominate each week (JJK, My Dress-Up Darling, Alien Stage), credit lines for top TikTokers, and blank caption cards reading "how I feel in my hometown."

myhometownedit.com works as a participatory toolkit—CapCut transition presets, anime clip fair-use guidelines, and cross-links to other participatory TikTok formats added in September 2026 for creators batching multiple trend edits.
