Keeping original posters' credit intact is cool.

The tweet OP posted, but with the poster's username intact instead of cropped out. Username: chockem smirk @beanytuesday. Date: 7/4/22. Tweet text: I love that every current manga series has a title like "Now Just Hold On A Minute... Is It Inappropriate For Me To Be Dating Two Stepsister Slime Girls At The Exact Same Time!??? while every manga in the 90s was just called something like "Blood Joe"

Who else scrolled up to see if it was beep?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Show is called trigun
Look inside
Protagonist does not have three guns

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Show is called bleach
Look inside
The good guys actually wear black and the antagonists wear white

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

> show is called fruits basket
> look inside
> oh no

[-] Hydrii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think it checks out he's got his revolver, arm gun thing, then the beam cannon thing

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Damn I really remember none of Trigun, and it was one of my favorites when it came out. I should do a rewatch now that it’s been… oh god like two decades?

[-] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

They did just do a uh reboot? I guess. It’s not the same but it ain’t bad. Some stuff it did better some stuff worse, still suggest the original tho.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago

It's still fun, but it's very 90s

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Just like Tubthumping

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

The beam cannon is just his arm and gun super Angel fusion.

I thought the three guns were the two revolvers and his arm pistol

> Movie is called Weathering With You
> Look inside
> No particular focus on erosion

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe it's about testing a gun

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Gun or gun not. There is no tri.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

No sword? Trigun!

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nor does the gun have 3 barrels

Read somewhere that's because the mangas in the store just show the title at the front. By putting the whole story premise into the title prospective buyers can see at a glance what the book is about without picking it up.

Give it a little time and books will be intriguing again with a mysterious short title.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's partially true. It's because the web novel that the manga is adapted from used the premise as a title for optimized SEO so that their story can be seen by more readers.

[-] shirasho@feddit.online 1 points 3 weeks ago

Makes it a massive pain in the ass to find them on watch/read tracking websites, especially when they have those ~ and 《》in the title (or subtitle). As an avid Manga reader, I have started skipping those series because, more often than not, they are just as uncreative as their titles. SEO or not, a good story will be spread by word of mouth. These writers are just screaming they don't have confidence in what they are creating.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Might start a web series called "My journey into becoming a mangaka online but the evil CEO of 《SEO CORP》has stolen my creativity and now I must fight an army of robots!"

Whatever the hell people would expect from that title, it won't be that.

[-] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's awesome practice. I don't read manga, but do watch the anime adaptations. It gives you exactly what it says on the tin. I love it.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

"Poop Gun"

Wait, so is the gun made of poop? Does it fire poop bullets?

Then the sequal:

"Oscillating doormat"

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

OP left out the Adjective Noun Fred naming convention that lasted from the late 70s through the late 90s

Mobile Suit Gundam

Irresponsible Captain Tylor

Pretty (However they translated Senshi this time) Sailor Moon

Samurai Pizza Cats

Space Runaway Ideon

Devil Hunter Yohko

and on and on and on.

[-] exist@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

There is now so much manga and light novel titles that I kinda understand why they do this. It is hard to decide what to even click on, and if I can't even tell what genre it is from the title or cover picture, I'm less likely to check it out

[-] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I would read the HELL out of Blood Joe!!!
