Being a hentai actress must be so weird. Imagine this: you’re in a soundproof room pleasurably screaming into an 800,000¥ microphone about how much you love old man dick at 10:47 AM on a Tuesday in October while your 45-year-old boss oversees you through a glass window from the other room. You eventually look up after 2 hours of practicing your unnaturally high-pitched moans and see him give you a big thumbs up as you pretend to have an orgasm.
are copypasta a thing on Lenny yet because of not… here’s a good a start as any.
That Time I got Rejected by My Refrigerator, Then My Ugly Dog Ate My Homework and I was Sent to a Strange World As a Pair of My Little Sister’s Panties
By the fan nickname, the series sounds cool. What’s the full title? :^)
Those are two different genres. Most shounen series still have simpler titles. Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Chainsaw Man, My Hero Academia, Promised Neverland, etc. Ones with long titles tend to be comedy, shoujo, or ecchi.
The long ones (that basically spoil the plot in the title itself) are mostly isekai, made to distinguish themselves from each other in the oversaturated isekai light novel/manga market. Probably 90% of all long anime titles are from the isekai genre alone.
I considered that at first but there are a lot of long title series that don’t fall under the isekai umbrella, while the isekais that fall under the shounen umbrella tend to still have the shorter titles.
It just so happens that most isekai fall under the shoujo/ecchi/comedy umbrella, hence the large amount of overlap. So while there’s definitely an association, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it an isekai thing specifically.
afaik a lot of recent mangas & anime started out as web novels.
the popular sites at the time didnt have subtitles or descriptions, so authors worked arround that by putting a description in the title field.
as far as i have heard those sites now have subtitles and descriptions,
so this should be a temporary trend
Manga titles getting into thesis territory 🅱️
hello brand new sentence.
To be fair we also have Chainsaw Man, which is pretty baller
Meh, an idiot in an idiotic plot. Not my series.
Sure but the post is about just the titles
I’ve heard this has to do with how light novels are marketed in Japan. Where having a title that accurately describes the content is desirable. But maybe it’s become more of a meme now.
Because of the most popular platform having no description field or something. So the autors have to describe it in the title to get any views.
Ok but we also have Dr Stone, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw man and One punch man. I dont think the meme works even as a joke.
at this point it’s much like radio ads: the shorter and more boring it is, the more likely i am to give it a try.
I’ve made an awesome anime, its called “x”
cough https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(manga) You young’ns
Is it about Elon Musk?
After one punch man I can’t take any fighting anime seriously.
The longer the title the more you know its gonna be hot garbage not worth your time
Where can one find that episode? … FOR A FRIEND OF COURSE!
Blame the light novel industry in Japan. They basically took the synopsis on the back of books and put it in the title in order to get people’s attention.
ain’t that the truth. mind posting this in !animemes@lemmy.ml as well?
cherry picking is truth now?
I guess, technically
