OMG please stop

Ah, TTIGRaaS. Finally.

The title of this anime was always weird to me. It gives me: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? vibes. I haven't seen it yet so i can't judge if it's good or not.

I feel like it’s a trend of “long awkward names” actually. I was also bored and looked up that it is an exact translation of the Japanese title, but also in Japan it’s labeled as “Regarding Reincarnated to Slime”

Might as well add Shinsha too, if they are going to add new story.

Lord Rimuru!
I love this series, so looking forward to this game

For a while it was pretty common for light novels to get these long and awkward names, which then get turned into manga and so on. Haven't seen that many recently, so the trend seems to be regressing?
One of my favorites is: "Wakamono no Kuro Mahou Hanare ga Shinkoku desu ga, Shuushoku shite Mitara Taiguu Iishi, Shachou mo Tsukaima mo Kawaikute Saikou desu!" which got translated to "Though Young People Recoil From Entering the Black Magic Industry, I Found Its Treatment of Employees Quite Good When I Entered It, and the President and Familiar Are Cute Too So Everything Is Awesome!"
That is overly long and awkward

It is a trend indeed
"That time people became to lazy to read a synopsis on the back of the book, so we put the synopsis in the Title"

Game looks decent. Battle system is like the 2D Tales of games. Guessing they are using the same engine. Makes sense since the Tales of games are from the same company.

remember peeps captain N was truly the first ever Isekai (even if it was american made) before the japanese trend started overshadowed by 40 years almost (damn i'm old)

japan is the king of terrible names, IDK what started this trend over there but why are their titles always super long sentences or questions

The thing is super long English titles can be represented with only a few characters of Kanji. So in Japanese, the titles may not look excessively long, but they don't translate into English that well.
Also, the Japanese habit of just making the titles an exact description of what the media (game, anime, whatever) is about is rather lazy. English titles are usually more subtle than that, which makes direct translations of Japanese titles look weird.
Not everybody does it. My Hero Academia is a reasonable title in both English and Japanese. But it is extremely common for some reason. Especially in H-games.

I've heard of the anime in passing, but the game looks interesting. Too long of a wait though, I'm sure I'll forget about it by the time it's out.
