Naming things is hard okay

Like in Reincarnated as a Slime, when Rimuru names all the monsters: that's actually just a power fantasy for the writer imagining being able to just shit out endless names when needed. Rimuru's subsequent mana exhaustion is just an allegory for the author's own exhaustion after having to come up with names for that scene. /s

It really isn't. Slap random syllibles together. Use words from a dead language. Random name generators. Any of the other suggestions in this post.

I didn't like Slime. If the writer struggles with coming up with names for his character as much as you say they did, I'm not surprised by the quality of the rest of the writing.

Aw slime is excellent, it's a shame you didn't like it.

As I understand it names in Japan names tend to have secondary cultural meaning, this is pretty limited in the West at this point. Best you'll get is family names and me naming a rooster Agamemnon because he was an asshole.

that's actually just a power fantasy

Way too many anime are just some dude writing himself into a fantasy. So much cringe fanservice that you 100% know is just the writer's internal spankbank put on paper.

90% of the anime out there is some shit I'd be embarrassed to be caught watching.

Even the Reze skinny dipping scene in chainsaw had me and my little brother rolling our eyes

I can see your point, but that's the part of Chainsaw Man that made you uncomfortable?

[-] Makhno@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I was never uncomfortable, just cringing

[-] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Ehh I hear ya but at a certain point its just camp. 90% has some cringe scene every few episodes maybe but it only seems to happen when your mom or wife walks in
