What the fuck is up with anime having such long titles that they have to use some retarded nickname when referring to it in casual conversation?

*Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai > Oreimo
*Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui > Watamote
*Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka > Danmachi
*Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai > Haganai (that's not even the right fucking letter; shouldn't it be "Waganai"?)
*Ano Hi Mita Hana No Namae O Bokutachi Wa Mada Shiranai > AnoHana

It's like Japan forgot how to write summaries on the back of the DVD box, so they tried to compress all of the information about a show's premise into the title instead.

Authors realised it's easier to market their shit with names that already involve a key part of the story. Blame the audience.

Fuck off with your e-celeb bullshit.

Wa is spelled Ha in Japanese.

Because you're writing them in another fucking language.

俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがな
Isn't nearly as long as
Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
and honestly I prefer it to the West's habit of just naming fucking everything "The verb".

>>145181892
Why not? Is it too hard for you to read?

I think at this point it's become a sort of inside joke that might work better in japanese then in english. English is all about compressing the language so we have titles like "Mad Men" or "The lobster" since adding a subtitle makes things cheesy ie: Captain America: Civil War. In japanese the language flows better so saying a long title is easier. Or maybe they think it's western and cool to compress language so they pick an absurdly long one and then turn it into a small one : OreImo. Interesting question.

They are basically the anime equivalent of clickbait, they need to make striking titles to catch people's attention

Oreimo should have been "little whore sister"
Watamote "autistic neet"
I get where you're coming from.

The Japanese abbreviate and shorten everything anyways.
