Try turning a series into as ridiculous and long of a light title as you can. Bonus points if you can get someone who hasn't seen that show interested in watching it now. For example, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would be something like "I have to fight my bisexual, vampire, half great great granddad in an intergenerational battle because of an auctioned Stone Mask!" |

“The world is quite literally falling apart and though I’m a pacifist, I’m also terrible at my job so, I find myself having rely on a muderer to help me find my way around” I also made another one: ( but I don’t know if it counts since it’s not a really well known anime) “At the young age of eleven, my class sacrifices me and the government thinks this is totally acceptable” |

The "light novelish" (I made up that word) title for Kiss x Sis (A show I haven't seen yet) would be something like this (This title is also accurate for every other little step sister shows): "I have romantic and sexual feelings for my little sisters, but it doesn't matter since they aren't blood related." For Serial Experiments Lain (I have seen it), it would be: "The story of how I, a shy and introverted high school girl, turned into an omnipotent being." |

I can't believe this girl gave me mind-control powers and now I can use them to rebel against my father and his nation.

That is better than what I said: "I moved into a city looking for an exciting life. But there are gang wars, a manipulator, a headless woman and many other crazy things" (this one too is also a light novel but it doesn't have a lengthy title so)."My Gang Leader Best Friend and Demon Sword Girlfriend Just Got Me Involved With a Headless Biker and Who Knows Who Else" Weebwithbadtaste said: Wait what anime is this again?“The world is quite literally falling apart and though I’m a pacifist, I’m also terrible at my job so, I find myself having rely on a muderer to help me find my way around” |

Can we change light novel titles to seem more light novel-y? In that case, I would go with this anime: "Crazy scientists and magicians are having a war with one another, and somehow always find a way to involve me, all because I happened upon a runaway nun hanging on my balcony" |

StrawhatL said: (Mobile suit Gundam) In midst of a war I found an overpowered Gundam (Giant Robot) and become a solider. Technically incorrect. 1. There is no such thing as "overpowered Gundam" because this is the first Gundam. 2. Gundam is not a synonym for giant robot. Those are called mobile suits here and there are many models. Gundam is a prototype for a new model. Let me fix it for you: "In midst of an enemy attack I incidently stumbled upon a secret weapon developed by my father, learned in seconds to pilot it from the manual, saved some civilians and doomed my father to hypoxia. Thus my involuntary career as a military pilot began." |

What is this anime, it seems intriguing With rakugo and shinjuu in the title, that was not too hard to find, but it is this one: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. Short praise below. I think that @NamikazeHime may have better arguments than me about this show to make it more appealing. I would not have strong enough words to recommend it, but if you liked the atmosphere of shows such as Aoi Bungaku Series, Dazai's novels or are interested to discover another surprising Japanese art form of theater, you might want to check this title. The only thing that I can add is that there are a lot of funny moments in this form of theater, it is not all tragedy. I forgot, there are some good female characters in the show! How rare is that? |

Have I been summoned to praise Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinju? Let's get on the buisness then: Whenever you see a drama tag on any anime, just forget about it. After watching SGRS you will realize that no other show deserves that tag. It's just the perfect combination of every single trait that good drama needs. Story - You know how in most sol anime, the only thing that changes is the characters thoughs? That's not the case with this one. It's a moving story that follows life of ordinary people through three eras. Wars, financial crisis, forbidding the old ways of life, everything that happens in the outside world affects the life of characters. Characters - I'm just gonna pin point one fact - this show doesn't have a single cute girl who's only point in the series is to be cute. Female characters that are present here are grown women that fight the same problems and have their own way of thinking and goals. Same as male characters. Theme - Rakugo is an extremely interesting form of art. I have to mention that I had no idea what the hell rakugo is before watching the show. The entire theme of the show is this weird combination of darkness and ordinary life. Here's a little non spoiler video for a reference: Voice acting - if you appreciate good voice acting, you're gonna love this show. Cinematography - especially the one from season two. Couple of scenes from the series are some of the most beautiful pieces of animation I found in anime. It makes you think about how the hell Deen managed to make something as great as this show. Op & Ed - those alone are so unique and artistic that they deserve to be mentioned here. Sorry for a short reply, I'm kinda in the middle of some buisness now. |
