Why are anime titles so dumb? w/ The Anime Man

joey the manga man felix poopy day oh that's me oh yo okay uh i was browsing crunchyroll the other day joey and you know what i discovered what what that f is wrong with anime titles okay what do you mean we have here my next life as a villainness all roots lead to doom well perfectly understandable title right we know who the main character is and what they are planning to do no we don't i don't know i don't know how much more obvious you can get with that okay well you can apparently so i'm a spider so what yeah so what what you you're you're you're arachnophobic of any kind you don't like spiders can you explain to me what at least is happening here uh main character turns into a spider in an rpg world and is uh just you know a little carefree hence the so what although i will say with this one uh i hate the fact that they use the word so twice so i'm a spider so what that's just awful it's like grammatically incorrect and it's just bugging the crap out of me oh it's bugging the crap out of you sorry it's spidering the crap out of me my bad i've been killing slimes for 300 years and max out my level damn are they just well spent are they trying to just explain the entire plot in the title is that what's happening yeah so like so do you want like the serious answer as to why they call it like this no well oh yeah maybe maybe let me just go through them what their reason was sure let's go let's go through a couple of ones the hidden dungeon only i can enter wow exclusivity am i right is there a reason behind the different color the dungeon i can hit then only enter why did it color some of it is this like is this like hints from like the zodiac killer he's just like leaving in anime titles what the [ __ ] is up with slime animes the slime diaries how many slime ones do we need dude have you ever like touched slime before yeah god like okay okay i get it thanks this feels good man okay so applying this concept of naming anime because you know we're old school anime fans you and i joey naruto what what would be the actual name of naruto then i saved the ninja village and become hukake [Laughter] i'm a nine-tailed fox and i'm very sad because my father left me that's why that should be cool and my best friend hates me what's up with that what's up with that am i right they did it wrong that's a much better title i never finished bleach what would bleach be because that's also like a really quick thing don't spoil the whole thing to be fair i don't know why they called it bleach i just feel like i don't know but at least you can't remember it at least it makes sense i prefer bleach a thousand times you're right it doesn't actually maybe believe it's not a good one bleach would be something like i died now i have powers maybe that's better you you nailed it on that one yeah how about this i died and i like squishing slime slime i like squishing it bleach the chronicle bleach and then in brackets bleach wait i want to think of more i don't know why this is so funny to me uh like what what are some of the original classic anime uh um one piece one piece what about one piece oh one piece i never actually finished it either i'm a really stretchy slime guy type of guy so what slime i mean she likes like i am stretchy like slime but i'm actually rubber what's up with that i like homemade dude they should make more anime titles that'll like end in like an existential question like yeah like like i'm made of slime or am i who knows what i am really what is a pirate does anyone know who they are no wait okay wait one more one more okay um what did i watch santa moon uh okay pokemon pokemon is good pokemon there's a bunch of stupid animals everywhere let's make them fight that's awesome i captured animals for my own self-satisfaction because they enjoy my company [Laughter] it always has to end existential like with a question it leaves you read that title and you're like oh i wonder what i wonder what that could mean i gotta check it out so funny i love this okay explain explain to me why are they doing these family titles okay so most if not i think all of these are originally based off light novels and there's a trend in the light novel world where instead of writing you know how most books have a blurb at the back to like tell you what the book is about yeah yeah well in japan they realized that younger people just weren't reading blurbs and were basically just picking up titles because they thought it was interesting so i guess um it makes sense they literally were like what if the blub is the title that makes sense i actually makes perfect sense that's so dumb but yeah yeah it makes it so dumb but it works right yeah because you remember you remember my next villain life is a villain as all routes lead to doom as like a really dumb title but you know exactly what the show is about without having to read the blog but it does kind of take away from that connection with like like oh yeah pokemon you know exactly what that is and what that means like yeah yeah i mean there's there's some like good titles out there like even today it's just you know for some reason a lot of the ones that get turned into anime are ones with ridiculous titles like this and they just kept the title yeah and they were like we could make it like really catchy and fun and cool but not this if this is what if this is what the person who made it says it is i guess this is what it is have you seen any of these like this one for example have you seen this uh no what about what happens i've seen the spider one i've seen a slight one i would be a better name what would be a better name i don't know uh [ __ ] spider diaries spider diaries yeah that's like vampire diaries because then i'll be like how can the spider even write a diary that makes sense exactly because it's because you're following the life of the spider right so it's like spider diaries or like spider stories or something i don't know spider story sounds like a really like nickelodeon movie maybe not spider story spider spider diaries spider dies because i hate them all spiders exterminate them all spiders must die the old spiders i like that all right this is just the start of the video and you explaining it to me because like that what i really wanted to do is to see what are some really bad titles like what are the worst titles these are just some bad ones right so i have collected julie the worst titles of anime of all time okay bad bet better are you ready to rate them are you ready to find which one is actually the worst one you came to the right place felix because if anyone is qualified for this video eight it is watashi okay so starting off with the legend of the legend japanese title [Laughter] the legend of the legendary heroes yep the legendary of the legend of the legendary heroes have you seen this have you read this have you watched it i have i have seen this actually this one this one is a classic but actually yeah it actually has decent review it was made in like what 2011 20 oh yeah 2010 there you go the legend of the legendary heroes that's like the most redundant title you could possibly make no it's not redundant dude it's like it's like double the effect you know what i mean it's like it's it's like they're legendary but like on top of that legendary status they're even more legendary it's like it's like it's like saying like the epic tale of the epic gamers you know it's like it sounds like the worst like mobile phone game or something like [ __ ] okay the legend of the legendary yeah sure i'll download that this video is sponsored by the epic legend of the epic gamers yes that's exactly it okay so i watch this clip and i'm like what the [ __ ] is happening before the arrows touch me a clever ruse but if you could oh god i've never heard of the dog not if i didn't feel keen on rousing the fury of your laptop oh man this is taking me back actually yeah it's kind of nostalgic don't tell me reiner loot is an alpha stigma what the [ __ ] is happening he's an alpha sigma alpha sigma sigma that's so cool he's not only a legendary hero but he's an alpha sigma he's a legendary of a hero at legend alpha should we do entirely some of this now i think about it hey you know what let's just rate them wait at what out of like a scale of one to ten yeah so i'm i'm gonna completely separate the actual like quality of the show with the title i'm purely rating it on the yeah all right you don't have to worry about pissing off the fanboys come on no one's a fan of the legend of the legendary heroes speak and if they are shame on you okay to be fair now that i look at it um it's a pretty wack title not gonna lie yeah just the title the legendary hero just the title but i don't know man like it came out off like like like the epic energy you feel me no no i don't there's something like really epic about the legend of the legend there here is like holy [ __ ] can you get even more legendary than that no you can't you're right you make a great point thank you what is the rating i'll rate it three because it's [ __ ] okay oh you know what we'll we'll put this as the benchmark i think i'll rate this a five out of ten okay i put three you put five yeah okay we're gonna average these out later and we'll see which one is actually the worst okay moving on what attack do you do i dare to read this in japanese dengeki which one is butt attack out of all these words uh oshioki how the hell did they become these because english anime titles are [ __ ] whack dude why okay to be fair i've never heard of this show before you've never heard of butt attack monster girl guatta guaraman what a man i think it's got a man nah guar man oh [ __ ] buddha is in this one that's awesome oh my man buddha what's up so this was made in 1994 jesus i was born that year what the this is this is the golden ones we missed out on the generation above us okay so this looks like this this is a one-episode ova which means it was part of like that really oh i didn't notice that you're right yeah in the 90s there was like a massive like ova boom oh there were so many like one-shot ovas in the 90s and so many of them sucked ass and i'm sure from the look of it looks like this is one of them so this is a 45 minute ova okay interesting well let's have a little clip or a clip of rooney and look here already i'm excited you're about to see with i think some of the greatest anime of your life let's find out no that's darth vader tan i knew you liked this [Music] dark later [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] oh my god i need to [ __ ] watch this dude honestly dude wait wait wait wait wait wait has delivered are you ready for this let's see [Music] [Laughter] that scroll that's the origin hell yeah dude [Applause] honestly yeah i'm [ __ ] for that oh my god i have to watch this that's [ __ ] amazing nice okay whatever so butt attack punisher girl gortaman i mean look now that we've seen the clip of it yeah i mean it's gonna be hard not to be influenced yeah exactly right yeah like you know exactly what the show is about there's a there's a girl called gautaman and she punishes and attacks with her ass you can't argue with it you can't argue with that like that arguably exactly what that's about actually kind of want to watch it i give it a 10. you're gonna give it you know what i'll i'll give it a strong nine strong nine all right yeah i'll give it a strong nine because it's to the point it's memorable right mm-hmm and you know exactly what's gonna happen in it yeah how can you not remember butt attack punisher girl god oh man how can you not you're right exactly all right next i'm i'm i'm dead i was gonna make a [ __ ] video on that hell yeah i'm glad i could find one that you haven't found the source of that's awesome i my me strawberry eggs okay so so i've heard of this one but i've never seen it okay yeah that's a that's a really [ __ ] weird title the thing about it i thought that was like a dumb english translation and they don't know how to use like maybe like watashi or something like becomes me but it literally says i my me me yeah yeah exactly i'm like what the [ __ ] why do they name it these what does that mean i mean strawberries have to come from somewhere from oh the eggs okay yeah yeah oh god i don't know have you ever seen a strawberry being born yeah i do actually they've grown all the time yes yeah from eggs they sprout from eggs no they don't yeah i just hate this title so much i my knee that's a very weird title we have a clip see what it's all about holy [ __ ] all 13 episodes oh wow i picked the best quality i could possibly find jesus christ this is a very popular anime joey and uh everyone just it's all right you want to get clemson claim from this we forgot about all of the wonderful times we shared with you it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman there we go nice nice list all i got out of that is the i love early like 2000's anime like mouth flaps it's like it's literally just like three frames of just like open half closed they try their best yeah so touching at the end so touching at the end last part was so emotional i kind of want to watch it now what is this the last part i was so emotional all right i my me strawberry eggs i might yeah that's that's a pretty [ __ ] title i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna have to give that like a two damn okay i get i can find pisses me out in a good way wait you prefer that over the legend of the legendary heroes yeah legend there yeah what okay the next one joey i hate it so much i hate this one title i hate this i've seen this one oh my god i hate this thing though do you want to read this yeah very easy i know that title off by heart bro do you really yeah i do oh my god how is that possible it's an impossible title it's i've never seen a title of anything that long do you love your mom and her two-hit multi-targeted tanks no well do you no dude this is a great title it's asking a [ __ ] question to the viewer do you like it no i know existentialism at its finest that seems to be the pattern here isn't it you decide you decide is it do you love it wait so there's alternative titles do you like your mom this just ended there do you like your mom her normal attack is two attacks at full power okasan online that's a such a [ __ ] title i thought the normal english title was like kind of all right but that like that alternative title is crap i i like the alternative titles so i actually know that this is a a novel as well so it kind of ties in with what you said yeah and have you read it yeah yes i have actually really why i've read it why why'd you like i i did it i did a video where i rented a japanese mum for 24 hours oh i saw that yeah yeah and that was sponsored by this oh yeah i love this title but the anime was garbage oh okay yeah they didn't get it didn't get good reviews i heard that no no what was bad about it look i love my mom but i i don't want to see like another person's mom in like weird sexualized situations like this i'm just not into that personally all right whatever it's very strange well you know if you're into that [ __ ] then go hand your family i don't understand i don't understand anyone has like a mom thing that's pretty good no definitely not a certain swedish guy well now it seems like i like this i haven't watched that all right anyway mom anime three three yeah i i kind of like this title so i'll give it like a six oh okay there moving on to what the [ __ ] is this you're like i've watched this one too really what yeah what the [ __ ] it's it yeah oh here we go completely fine title story in which i was kidnapped by a young lady school to be a sample of common people what and you watched this you decided you know what that one yeah that one out of thousands i'm watching that one yep or reading that one yeah cool that's great it's my life yeah how was it uh i've already forgotten the title story in which i was kidnapped by a young lady's school a young lady school how are you kind of a young lady school yeah he was kidnapped by young lady school to be a sample of the peasants i don't get it i don't understand so so the plot is basically there is like a prestigious like high school full of like pretty much like rich family like princesses who live like a princess type life in order to like fully understand the common people aka the peasants they kidnap a peasant boy to learn the peasant ways oh yeah peasant boy casual that's a casual modern day in slavery and yo you were like yeah even and i was like and i was like hell yeah dog it is interesting when they're using like i don't know if this heart is supposed to be there but i know in like euro camp they insist on having like the camp logo there yeah the triangle yeah isn't that kind of weird yeah i kind of like it that'll be it's cute this title whatever zera i don't know i hate it there okay i'll i will give this a three i would have given it more points if instead of common people they just you know have the balls to just say peasants okay three it is three it is oh my god i uh this is really annoying i'm not even joking my mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy that is exactly what you said that's the thing you read at the back yeah oh my god that's the thing japan has like met the game so hard that they've turned a blurb into a title to be fair i i have seen this one oh my god you've seen them all joey i'm the anime man felix of course i've seen it yeah but yet we're watching come on come on no okay okay to be fair to be fair this is like a ridiculous title but this anime is actually [ __ ] hilarious really it's actually really really funny okay yeah but uh comedy my mental multiple choice power is completely ruining my school romantic comedy okay right i mean it's funny i mean the the title you know they could have gone for a you know admittedly a little more of a snappier title but uh i guess they were just like you know what [ __ ] it we need to explain this ridiculous plot from the get-go you know what they should do they should just name the like meta tags should be the title now with the online world right well actually it's funny because like a lot of these like longer titles they actually shorten it to make it a little more like easier to say oh really yeah so in the case with this one the the colloquial title for when referring to it is so they take the nor in nornai and they take the kome in comedy so they all right so they do uh they try a little bit i appreciate that that will definitely they should just name it light novel comedy roman school 24 episodes uh for three main characters yeah enjoy the reason there isn't a million of those already and then would you like to watch question mark gotta have a question at the end that's a bad point though what if what if there was a show that was just like so self-aware of how [ __ ] it is that the title is like are you sure you want to watch this are you positive you want to waste your time to watch this show oh my god someone has to write that that is great are you sure about this one bro it's like a challenge that's great all right what would you rate this i rate it three i'll give it a five okay yeah because it's long but it i mean i remember it off the top of my head because it's a good show and it's like and it's shortened you can shorten it so you know what i'll give them points for that effort at least next one doesn't piss me off i'm actually kind of kind of want to watch it it's oh dude bob bubba i'm not sure how you say it it's how would you say it oh i like that that kind of flows too this is like this is dead ass one of my favorite manga ever like really yeah it's like i grew up with this this [ __ ] is so insane and like just out there that it's just so funny yeah because i i i never heard about it i just googled dumb titles but then i watched some clips and i'm like this is just this looks like standing by right guys okay maybe not the dub i don't know but the dom's actually not too bad yeah how do you say the yellow afro guy yeah and his power is that he can control his nose hairs to attack people of course and of course yeah so that's like those black things coming out of his nose i can control my nostril hair to attack people what should i do that's a better thing what should i do it's at a better time and like he has a brother called baby baby baby legs hairs oh yeah nice yeah okay i might actually check this one out what would you rate it i mean it's so [ __ ] catchy and so memorable like that's a 10. yeah i think it's a 10 too yeah i like it it's amazing okay we only have a couple more next up oh my god i don't know why it pisses me off so much can you read the japanese you've seen them all joey what the [ __ ] i like immediately recognize the title the list i'm like oh this one right well they don't have bad rating though yeah this one's actually pretty good give us your beautiful japanese title are you busy i know this means what is i can read it will you save us okay world end what do you do at the world end no what do you do at the end of the world are you this is the questions again stop asking me have you ever seen a title that has not one not two but three questions i'm like i'm not ready for this [ __ ] this is too much man god this is like a political press event where they just like keep asking you questions but it's also a heavy moral question i'm like all right enter the world are you going to be busy or what you're going to be like this like this this title could just be like you could just replace it with brock end of the world breath the world's ending bro i was like world end well then one word well then yeah well then which is weird because like i don't know why i guess like walden is like the the alternative title to it because like it's not in the actual like japanese title it says synonyms what does that mean well again is like the it's like the abbreviated version uh because each one of the questions in japanese ends with sk weird i don't know i don't know how they come up with these acronyms it's kind of funny that's pretty clever i'll give my mind an extra point for that all right rating it rating it i mean look it was a good show but that title is absolutely ridiculous so i'll give it like a i'll give it like a four i'll give it one i don't know why they couldn't just call it walden nah this is way better another question another moral dilemma joey is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon is it wrong is it wrong i'll never tell have you you've seen this don't tell me you haven't seen this joey i know you've watched it i i have i have the number of the author on my phone i've i've gone to dinner when you call him this can you ask them what the [ __ ] yeah i mean i said like i asked him like how did you come up with the title and yeah i don't know dude this is super popular what the [ __ ] yeah this is this this is a really big show actually huh well i can see why have you not seen have you not seen hestia the mean girl hestia the main girl there in like the the white dress she she was like everywhere when this first came out really i wonder why she's really cute yeah yeah it's got qualities yeah she's got a great personality i kind of want to see her now sorry [Music] oh this is the opening [Music] all right i see is it wrong gentlemen all right what would you rate it i mean i like this title because you know again it's memorable i'm not just saying that because i'm friends with the author i genuinely do like this title so i'm gonna give like an eight oh okay i'll give it five all right fair enough fair enough the king the king of all this is where it all started dude really yeah i i would say this is where it all started i'm glad we finished up with it then yeah yeah i feel if this show didn't get as popular as it did we wouldn't really like insane holy [ __ ] my little sister can't be this cute i love the the incest that's great just right there and the title yeah right like just no holds bad like yes i think my sister what of it that's what that's what the title should have been i [ __ ] my sister one of it joey i need to be monetized i i hug my sister sideways that's okay right what of it yeah what of it have you seen this uh yeah unfortunately it's not good is it not i mean there's lots of like hardcore fans of this show but i i never thought it was good why was it so popular incest is popular i guess [Music] more than bug girl yeah i know it's a true crime is this the one [Music] it's kind of not cute at all actually right my little sister can't be this annoying should have been the yeah yeah who's getting punched i saw someone getting punched i like this and they're both getting fired this show is literally if like 30 day fiance wasn't anime okay like it's it's like that level of trash i like that that actually makes me want to watch damn love third and apn all right what would you rate this type this has to be a really low then or three i guess i mean look here's the thing as like as as much as the show kind of sucks it did kind of like birth or like set a foundation of like which is why anime titles actually why it should be burned to hell we should have destroyed a uh you know what i'll give this a six okay all right let's see uh let me do quick math and the winner is i think it's beer before right because we gave that a 10. well okay the best title out of all these is [Music] that's it yes but that the worst one is story in which i was kidnapped by a young lady school to be the sample of the car that is the worst one that is absolutely the worst one i'm sorry that's absolutely the worst that is the worst anime title we found at joey thank you for helping me out with these i i could probably find you one worse no stop it i don't want to know it i have one in mind actually okay okay all right a challenger appears i don't know if i want it worth it i don't know if this some some stuff is better to leave dark and crumbled up in the darkness now after after you see this one no i'm gonna feel sick oh god oh god oh my god oh oh god it's so long i am a high school boy and a successful light novel author but i'm being struck i'm being strangled by a female classmate who is a voice actress and is younger than me jesus christ why when i saw this for the first time i was like no [ __ ] way is this a real title how do you know like reading looking at this uh cover like how do you know what is what time to play i would think time to play was the name of this yeah right time to play is the the name of the first volume because of course they had to separately name the volumes as well what the [ __ ] jesus christ i just imagine big coming up with this title while this is happening like oh [ __ ] i'm being straight like we have to put as much information about the story into the title as possible as bad as it is i i still firmly believe that this [ __ ] [ __ ] yeah is the worst and i i stand by it joey yeah fair enough fair enough i thank you for helping me rate the worst anime titles of all time of course of course anytime check out joey's
