Anime titles have been growing bigger and
longer every year, so I think it’s time we finally address that question we’ve all
been wondering. Does size matter? Well 91% of women agree that bigger is better. But 91% of you aren’t women. So let’s figure this out once and for all
by diving balls deep into some anime with the biggest and longest titles I’ve ever
seen. “Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love
Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru” It’s a bit shorter in English; “My Mental
Choices Are C
ompletely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy” Now, I never judge a book by its cover, but I will judge this anime by its title. Not only is the title thick, long and veiny,
but it also provides a summary of the anime, and even discloses the two genres of the anime
as well. So real quickly before I watch it, I’m giving
this anime a 9.7 out of 10. It's a masterpiece. Alright so I just watched a couple episodes
and this kid is basically afflicted by a curse called “absolute choice” which ac
tivates
randomly throughout the day and forces him to choose between two options. You know: watch anime, or go outside. Eat a bagel, or eat a donut. Hit that like button, or subscribe. Except in his case, both options suck, and one of them is always infinitely worse than the other. It’ll be something like Option 1: "Take your clothes off in front of the entire class” Option 2: "Invade Poland.” So he doesn’t really have a choice. I mean, the last guy who took option 2 ended
up taking option 3 a c
ouple years later. But there’s a bunch of other fun scenarios,
like when he finds a "used" hentai magazine on the ground, and he has to choose between
sniffing it or eating it. So he’s basically choosing between getting
pegged in the ass, or getting pegged in the ass twice. I guess the deeper message of this anime is
that life is full of choices. Our lives and futures are shaped by the decisions
we make in the present. Except, most of our options are complete dogshit,
so our only true choice is
to be eternally stuck on the receiving end of strap-on. But speaking of choices, who do you guys prefer, Yui or Yukino? “My Teen Romantic Comedy is Wrong as I Expected”
is a very descriptive and lengthy title that will both catch, and lose your attention before
you finish reading it. But the problem with this title is that nobody
actually uses it, ever. Instead, they call this anime Oregairu or
SNAFU for some reason. So despite having some of my favorite waifus and being one of the best romcom a
nime of all time, this anime gets a 4 out of 10. Anyway This main character only has one choice
to make. And that choice started one of the most divisive
waifu wars in anime history. Yui vs Yukino. And in case you guys are wondering which side
I fought for, let me remind you that I have the best taste on the internet, so it should
be pretty obvious. I shouldn’t even have to remind you, but if you guys insist, I guess I’ll tell you which waifu I chose. But watch this ad first. This video is spons
ored by ZenMarket. If you also have an unhealthy obsession with
Japan even though you don’t live there, then you’re probably aware that sometimes
Japan just refuses to ship things to other countries. I wanted to display this new Roxy figure upside-down
on my shelf, but I can’t even buy it because it’s only available in Japan. Luckily, ZenMarket is the solution to this
problem. Just search for the item you want to buy,
or paste the URL from any Japanese website to place your order, and ZenMarket
will literally
go buy it for you in Japan and then ship it to you themselves. Sorry Japan, you can’t keep all these waifu
figures to yourself. Or this Marin cosplay outfit. There’s a lot of them actually. This one even says “milky time”. As soon as you register an account, ZenMarket
will add 300 yen to your balance as a free gift. And until the end of this month, you can buy
anything from Rakuten without having to pay a service fee, so you won’t have to make
6 figures to have 6 figures. Click th

right now to visit my landing page and check out some of my personal picks. Thank you again to ZenMarket for sponsoring
this video. Anyway, back to the video. I feel like I was just saying something important,
but I don’t remember what it was. Oh well. So why are anime titles getting longer and
longer? Well it’s because our attention spans are
getting shorter. I’m honestly surprised you’re still watching
this video despite the lack of Subway Surfer gameplay in
the background. But because nobody has the attention span
to read the description of an anime anymore, they just started putting the description
as the title. The market for anime is so oversaturated that
people tend to check out the cover art and read the title, and then move on if they aren’t
intrigued. For example I recently found this anime called
“B”. It’s literally just called “B”. What’s it about? I have no idea, because I didn’t watch it. But you know what I did watch? “A Herbivorous Dra
gon of 5,000 Years Gets
Unfairly Villainized” Now this anime’s title does a great job
explaining exactly what it’s about. It’s not that long either, I mean, it’s
above the international average, but it could be a lot bigger. Like, instead of using the numbers 5000 they
could’ve wrote it out to say “five-thousand” which would’ve extended the diameter of
the title by at least a few inches. I’ll give it a 7 out of 10 though because
I like the use of the word “herbivorous” as opposed to “vegan” whic
h is 6 letters
shorter. But basically, this anime is about a vegan
dragon. A little girl tries to sacrifice her flesh
by feeding herself to this big evil dragon, but in reality, the dragon isn’t evil, nor
does he consume any type of meat or animal products. I didn’t even have to tell you that though,
because the title basically summarizes everything that happens in this anime. In fact, you don’t even have to watch it. Just read the title again, and you’ll pretty
much understand the entire plot.
Was the anime itself any good though? Nope. It was trash. Yeah I’m kinda just measuring titles today guys. Wouldn’t really recommend watching most of these. The longest anime title I’ve ever seen though
is the Japanese title for “The Misfit of Demon King Academy.” And it gets longer with season 2 because instead
of just adding a “2”, they snuck an extra character in there by using roman numerals. There’s even a part 2 of season 2, which
adds 5 more characters as well. This title just won’t stop
growing. It comes with a colon, a comma, a dash, roman
numerals, and a regular number right next to the roman numerals. Absolute fucking madness. By far, this is the longest anime title of
all time, but that isn’t even half as long as the main character’s dick. Anos Voldigoad is literally a walking flex. Immediately after being born, he names himself
in front of his parents, and then he brings home some bitches a week later. You know what his pickup line was? A castle. He lifted that shit with o
ne finger, spun
it around, and then threw it like a projectile weapon. One time, someone tried to start a fight with
Anos, and do you know what Anos did? Anos fucking killed him. And then revived
him so he could kill him again. And then he revived him again and killed him
50 more times. Anyway, the first season was a lot of fun
to watch, but season 2 was straight garbage. Regardless, I guess the title was long enough
to strike the interest of millions of people, despite it being the author’s fir
st light
novel. So do longer titles actually perform better
than shorter ones? Is that how it works? If so, then I suppose I should change my username
to, “I Thought Echidna From Re:ZERO Would Be Pronounced “Ekidona” So I Tried To
Make A Donut Pun, But The Pun Ended Up Being About Cum Instead. Regardless It Doesn’t Matter Because I Barely
Talk About Echidna Anymore And Mostly Upload Seasonal Anime Recommendations” I think having a long ridiculous title might benefit some lesser-known light novel
authors who want to stand out among thousands of competitors, but that really only applies to the light
novel and anime industry. I really doubt that a long ridiculous title
would perform well in the west, but let’s go ahead and test it just in case. “I Used To Be a High School Chemistry Teacher,
But Then I Got Cancer And Started Selling Meth" “Some Dude Without a Nose Killed My Parents, So Now I Have to Defeat him With Magic” “That Time I Put on a Ring and then a Bunch of Shit Happened” So alt
hough longer titles might occasionally perform better in some very specific Japanese
circumstances, generally the best way to gain popularity is just to write the best story
you can. And my source for that information is Overlord. I guess the moral of this video is that anime
titles come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they’re big and long and thick
and delicious, while others are tiny, sad, and pathetic. But the size of your title doesn’t really
mean anything. What truly matters is [(length
x diameter) + (Weight / Girth)] / Angle of Tip ^2 Thanks everyone for watching. I’m uploading my Spring 2023 Tier List Video
next week, so if you haven’t subscribed yet, make sure you do so you don’t miss
that. If you enjoyed this video please give it a
like, and don’t forget to drop your size in the comment section below. Oh and one more thing, I just remembered what
I was talking about earlier. Yui and Yukino are both great waifus but I
actually voted third party. Iroha is best girl in SNAFU.

That Time i got reincarnated as a japanese manga author and had to write stories with unreasonably long and overly descriptive titles for a living.
"im uploading my spring 2023 tierlist next week"
I'm from Poland, so I think option 1 from 1:16 is a lot better than option 2, but that just me.

I personally cant wait for the adaptation of: My Life Is Just As Wrong As I Expected After Traveling to Another World Where I’m Surrounded By Cute Girls At A Magical High School And Am Also The Fabled Hero of Legend, But Before I Tell You That Story I Have To Tell You This Story, In Which I Was Walking Along With My Unbelievably, Impossibly Cute Younger Sister Who Doesn’t Like Me At All, And She Said To Me It Was My Fault She Wasn’t Popular No Matter How She Looked At It As We Walked To School Together, And We Stopped To Look At A Garden, Which Had A Flower Whose Name I Don’t Remember, When Suddenly A Portal Opened Up To Another World And When I Landed In A Field And My Face Was Buried In The Largest Pair of Boobs I’d Ever Seen, And My Sister Hit Me And Called Me An Idiot While Blushing, But Then The Girl I Landed On Saw The Birthmark On My Hand And Gasped And She Grabbed My Hand And I Blushed But She Started Dragging Me Away And My Sister Got Mad And Chased After Us And I Asked Where We Were Going, And She Said She Was Taking Us To Grimheart Magic School, Where She Was The School President, And Then I Gasped Because I Was Now In A Magical World, And When We Got To The School Which Was A Giant Castle I Asked The Girl What Her Name Was And She Said It Was Akane Yuusha, Which I Thought Was A Tad Strange Since She Had Blonde Hair And Blue Eyes And The Entire Aesthetic Of The School Seemed Very Ancient European, But I Forgot About All Of That When She Told Me We Needed To See The Headmaster Because She Had Been Taught That The Mark On My Hand Was The Symbol Of The Reincarnation Of The Legendary Dragon Hero Of Legendary Literature, And I Said That Was A Cool Thing To Be Taught Because At Our School The Only Book We Learned Was Atlas Shrugged, And She Asked What That Was And I Told Her I Was The Book Our Society Based Its Philosophy On A Speech From, And She Asked Me To Recite The Speech, Which I Did, And The Speech Went “For Twelve Years You Have Been Asking… Think it'll be interesting (and yes this is a real thing)
As Japanese myself, one thing I'd add about these long Japanese titles is that the Japanese fanbase will always find a better way to call them (literally most of those sentence-like titles have more familiar names with normally 3-4 characters). Like : 転すら(tensura)【転生したらスライムだった件(That time I got reincarnated as a slime)】 There is bunch of others, whose titles are pronounced in an abbreviated way actually. So this is my perception at least: this way, we feel that if an anime is called with such a familiarized way, it can be one indicator to how popular the anime is, and it will certainly lure more people to watch it.
Man you have been missing so long!!! What's up buddy
