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

[–] Hydrii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 66 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Just like Tubthumping

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ahhh it’ll feel very nostalgic for me then! I grew up on 80s and 90s anime~ I recall the dub’s voice acting being stellar, but maybe it hits differently with how great voice acting has become over the years.

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.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I couldn't watch the reboot. I have too much love for the original that I couldn't make it through more than 4 episodes

[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it for sure is not as good. It’s missing the dramatic tone shift of the first, that made it so iconic. Though the Eriks bit at the start of season 2 I feel was done a lot better than the original, plus some other things were done well. Plus it does go more into angels, wolfwood’s genetic mutation, and more of the characters that were left out from the manga in the 2nd season.

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

[–] thirstyhyena@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Some said the third gun is Wolfwoods cross, but that theory only works for the anime.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Idk I never watched it for real. I just remember the theme song .... dabududa dibidibidaow dibididibi daow Daba dibidibidaow d-dap daow

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

> show is called fruits basket

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe it's about testing a gun

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 month ago

No sword? Trigun!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Gun or gun not. There is no tri.

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"

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Who else scrolled up to see if it was beep?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 63 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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 53 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

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 4 points 1 month 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.

I'm just repeating a thing I read elsewhere, but I heard it's not strictly SEO optimization in the classic Google rank sense, it's that the most popular webcomic portal in Japan doesn't include descriptions in its browse page.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"Poop Gun"

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

Then the sequal:

"Oscillating doormat"

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds like Chinese tattoos on Americans who've never left their home state.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 month ago

Is it related to Diarrhea 4?

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or the word avalanche will spread to other media

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

That sounds like the PG version of Chuck Tingle titles.

Of course with AI it's impossible to tell which covers are real without going to a site with a definitive list, but I confirmed this one

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I am waiting for the title "I just turned into my fursona and am trapped in another world living my pansexual dream." I'd read/watch that one no questions asked.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

half of that isn’t an adjective

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I didn't name it. It's probably more accurate to call it Descriptor Noun Fred.

Though none of them are a Fred.

Trying to be unique in a largely crowded endeavor like Japanese manga is a very difficult game. Like choosing names for one's creations. So some authors have to resort to using bewildering longer titles if only to stand out, and it gets weirder in very prolific manga subgenres such as a harem romcom.

I faintly remember about Japanese creatives -- and some businessmen -- trying to find naming inspirations from practically anywhere -- a favorite movie, actor, athlete, an odd quote, a catchy phrase in French or Italian (there is heavy use of "atelier"), etc. -- for which to name their next work, not just manga but Japanese product names and trademarks in general; a girl's fashion brand over there which had taken a "Cecil McBee" as its trademark without the knowledge of the actual musician bearing that name (he was informed of it, got surprised, then tried unsuccessfully to sue in court).

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

The long title trend started with web novels that had to grab people's attention among a text list of other titles.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This entire post is the title of a short light novel series about anthropomorphic honeybees.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Monster would be titled "Do no harm! Unless I save the wrong life, I guess!!!"

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could someone link the stepsister slime girls manga, so I can make fun of it?

My favorite animes from the era remain:

Samurai Pizza Cats, City Hunter, You're Under Arrest!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Where can I watch "Blood Joe Dating Two Slime Stepsisters At The Same Time"?
