Anon, the kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of this board has taught us it's that Keit-ai will not be contained.

Keit-ai breaks free, it spams to new threads and crashes through topics, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh... well, there it is.

I'm, I'm simply saying that Keit-ai, uh... finds a way.

>>134575156
This is the original form.

MC loves the feMC. FeMC loves the MC.

The day the two of them decide to confess to each other, they mysteriously find each other's cell phone numbers saved into their phone's contacts list. After some hesitation, a mutual confession occurs after school through phone. Tears of happiness are shed, vows are sworn, and the two decide to meet at the front gates the next day.

But, the next day, MC is rejected by the feMC, who claims she never talked to him before. Strangely enough, the feMC is shown to be going through the same thing, being rejected by MC who treats her like a stranger.

MC and feMC actually inhabit two different universes, and their cell phones are connect them. After eventually reaching this conclusion, the two of them make a promise. They will tell each their likes and hates, their daily schedule, everything about themselves, even their deepest secrets, to help each other in their crusade for love. The name of the anime will be Keit-ai!/Cel-love!, in classical punny tradition.

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Keit愛: 君の名は

>>134575066
In order to be word in a writing system, all it needs is to be writeable using said writing system. Therefore everything consisting of latin letters is a word in the writing system. Whether it's a term with a meaning, is a different question. Keit愛 is a English-Japanese hybrid word, which can be written in English (Keit-Ai), but can't be written in Japanese. Just stick to one language if you're too stupid to get how the Japanese writing system works. There are so many anime with English titles nowadays, it won't even stick out.

>>134575069
The pun doesn't work. That's what I've been saying the whole time. It's a pun on a Japanese word, but the pun can't even be written out in Japanese. That's my entire point.

>>134574552
Underrated post.

>>134575838
>In order to be word in a writing system, all it needs is to be writeable using said writing system.

Then Mekakucity Actors is not a writeable word in English. Mekakucity is an English-Japanese hybrid word that can be written in Japanese (メカクシティ) but looks absolutely ridiculous in English since it's even written as one word.

Again, double standards on your part.The pun in Mekakucity doesn't work if the pun in Keit-Ai doesn't work. It's that simple. You're being a huge weeb.

It looks absolutely ridiculous, but it can be written in English and is thus a writeable word in English. The only problem is the capital letter in the middle of a word, but that's just styling. Or do you want to tell me that Cthulhu doesn't look absolutely ridiculous?


>The pun in Mekakucity doesn't work if the pun in Keit-Ai doesn't work

The pun in Mekakucity is a pun in Japanese and works in Japanese. Keit-Ai too is supposed to be a pun in Japanese, but it doesn't work and stems from the creator's ignorance of the Japanese writing system that consists of syllables not letters.

And Keit愛 can be written as is if you think Mekakucity can be written as is.

The pun in Keit-Ai works in English. The pun in Mekakucity doesn't work in English.

There's no such word is the problem. The fact that you're defending that while at the same time condemning Keit-Ai shows how big of a weeb you are.

Funny how you're able to bend English more with the way Japan massacred it but have rigid standards when it comes to Japanese massacred by English speakers.

>The pun in Keit-Ai works in English.

How so? It's a pun on two Japanese words. The word keitai 携帯 is made up of kei 携 and tai 帯. You can't break the tai up into t and ai. It can only be ta + i. Thus, the only way to write Keit愛 in Japanese would be ケイト愛 KeitoAi, which isn't anything like ケイタイ Keitai.

That's because the English alphabet consists of letters that can be combined in any way you want to form words. The Japanese "alphabet" consists of syllables and is thus a lot more restrictive.

>>134576165
>How so? It's a pun on two Japanese words.

Put in Romaji. As opposed to combining Mekakushi and City into something that can't exist in the English language?

Keit-Ai isn't a problem in English. Dear God. It's only a problem if you insist on it being a pun because it isn't a pun. Those 2chan posters you posted earlier probably didn't even realize it was a pun. They probably thought Keit was some word they don't know.

Mekakucity actors isn't a pun either, by your logic.

City (シティ) is widely used in Japanese and Actors isn't part of the pun. There are many English words that have been integrated into the Japanese language.

I don't know how to put it easier for you to understand....

Mekakucity is a pun in Japanese メカクシ + シティ = メカクシティ and only works in Japanese which is fine because it's a Japanese title for a Japanese audience.

Keit-Ai is supposed to be a pun in Japanese, but doesn't work in Japanese because you ignored the way the Japanese writing system works. Therefore it's just some weird word in English.

>>134576410
That's not a Japanese word. If Mekakucity can work in Japanese fine although it can't work in English then Keit-Ai can work in English fine even though it can't work in Japanese.

>>134576477
>Keit-Ai is supposed to be a pun in Japanese,
It's a pun in Romaji Japanese that can be put in as >>134576288. Be more autistic.

>>134576480
How does Keit-Ai work as a pun in English? What the hell is a Keitai and what the hell is Ai? It's supposed to be a pun on Japanese words. Why am I explaining this to you?

Hue.

>>134576536
>What is this faggotry?

Samurai is Romaji Japanese that has become a loanword in English. Also, if you call that faggotry, then Mekakucity is an even bigger piece of faggotry I've ever seen.

>>134576573
>Hue

You mean the word related to color? Yours must be blue if you can't come up with a more coherent rebuttal than that.

>>134576579
Samurai isn't Romaji Japanese. There's no such thing as Romaji Japanese. The moment it was adopted as a loanword, it became a normal English word. Mekakucity is just a clumsy try at romanization of a Japanese title.

You're confusing languages with romanizations.

worst meme

If the Japanese can make a pun with To-LOVEru, they can make one with Keit-ai

>>134576624
>Samurai isn't Romaji Japanese.

It's a Japanese word rendered in Romaji or a way for English speakers to write Japanese words in English.

The same function as Hiragana and Katakana when rendering English words in Japanese with no kanji equivalent.

>>134576637
No, that's not how Japanese works. In TLR's case is fine because it's written as とらぶる.

>>134576624
If it works as a Romanization and titles like To-Love-Ru exist, what are you sperging about?

You're honestly putting double standards with puns where anything is allowable in English but the same could not be said of Japanese.

Is the synopsis translated yet? How similar is this to Keit-Ai?

>>134576501

That's not how English works and yet somehow you're allowing that massacre of the English language to exist yet something as simple as Keit-Ai, you couldn't put up with.

>>134576637
トラブル is a Japanese word and ラブ too. It's a Japanese pun on Japanese words. The pun only seems weird when you romanize it.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB

>>134576714
It's Japanese rendered in English syllables. Why are you having such a hard time grasping a simple concept?

>>134576724
No one's massacring the English language. The maker of To-LOVE-ru wouldn't have made a pun on English words because none of his readers would have gotten it. It's a pun on Japanese words that are originally loanwords from English.

>>134577104
Keit-Ai, if you pause after the 't', doesn't sound anything like Keitai though. The pause in Keitai is after the 'i'.

If it's common parlance and it's located ion urban dictionary, then it's a loanword. No ifs or buts about it.

I love the stories he tells, but they do feel the same after a while. At least the visuals are always fantastic.
