Show is called trigun
Look inside
Protagonist does not have three gunsI think it checks out he’s got his revolver, arm gun thing, then the beam cannon thing
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?
It’s still fun, but it’s very 90s
Just like Tubthumping
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.
There’s a little bit of the “screechy tsundere” voice here and there going on that was pretty common at the time, but a lot less than most shows of the era. Beyond that, the dub is great, imo.
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.
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
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.

I am far from the world’s biggest trigun fan, but after an extremely brief search they completely changed the only part of trigun I liked, the intro.
Did I research this wrong or is that what they did?
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
Some said the third gun is Wolfwoods cross, but that theory only works for the anime.
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
> look inside
> oh no
Maybe it’s about testing a gun
No sword? Trigun!
Gun or gun not. There is no tri.
> Movie is called Weathering With You
> Look inside
> No particular focus on erosionNor does the gun have 3 barrels
Edit: should have scrolled down, somebody already said ir
?
Could argue he does. Pistol, arm, big laser arm.
Keeping original posters’ credit intact is cool.
Who else scrolled up to see if it was beep?
✋
Despite the name, this manga is rad !
Oh, is this the one that inspired Mickey 17?
No edge of tomorrow is the movie based on this, there’s also a anime adaptation I think
Oh yes Edge of Tomorrow makes sense, my bad. I’ve seen both and mixed them up.
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
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.
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.
Isn’t that just an extension of the “Blood Joe” referenced in the OP?
Okay but Devil Hunter Yohko is an actual nice name
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).
The long title trend started with web novels that had to grab people’s attention among a text list of other titles.
This entire post is the title of a short light novel series about anthropomorphic honeybees.
Monster would be titled “Do no harm! Unless I save the wrong life, I guess!!!”
I would read the HELL out of Blood Joe!!!
Could someone link the stepsister slime girls manga, so I can make fun of it?
For academical research
Closes I could find was Killer Joe.
A Minecraft entity? I wasn’t expecting that! XD
My favorite animes from the era remain:
Samurai Pizza Cats, City Hunter, You’re Under Arrest!
Where can I watch “Blood Joe Dating Two Slime Stepsisters At The Same Time”?
Hey, give them some slack, they’ve got to stand out among the sea of mediocre titles.
moore’s manga law
I think that’s because they are Korean but I could be mistaken
I think it has more to do with them being adaptations of web novels. I can only assume that at some point there was a meta that evolved around naming web novels something wordy and specific to either stand out from the crowd, let readers know what the series was about, or both.
Disclaimer: I don’t read web novels, could be way off.Its the same here in the west. Webcomics, web novels, fan fic. It all has the same problem. Its rather funny how people have only really started to notice the increase in title length when it started hitting manga/anime.
Each region has like 1 maybe 2 websites that host 99% of them. Lots of them straight up don’t allow the same name for two projects. Even for the ones that do allow duplicate names you would get harassed or attacked by the primary users if you copied the name of a popular series. So as time has gone on, all the short names are taken. And you have to make up longer and longer names.
