I have a problem I've never seen mentioned on /a/ before. I dislike looking into shows with long japanese titles that I can't pronounce right away.
For example, I didn't look into Mirai Nikki until I saw that it was titled Future Diary in english.
Is that the case with all these other shows? Do they also have english titles?
The title gives you an idea of the show. If I haven't a clue what it could possibly be, I can't even bring myself to google it. Does anyone else have this problem?

What is the english title for pokemon?????
>>139333390
>I am an autist
>Are you as well /a/
Try and take a guess.
That's why nips provide alternate English titles in their logos
>>139333390
If you're choosing which anime you watch by the title, there's no helping you to begin with. Hell, if you let the title influcne you to begin with, it's not gonna help you 95% of the time.
>>139333596
English sounds cool when you're a foreigner.
>>139333498
If a word is made up then that's completely fine. But when it's real japanese words, I want to know what the title means.
>>139333578
We're all autists in different ways. Do you have a problem diving into titles you don't understand too?
>>139333596
I'm talking about when you come across a title randomly while browsing /a/. The English translation isn't said beside it.
>>139333390
>long
>Mirai Nikki
come the fuck on anon, seriously
>>139333809
>My little anon can't be this clueless.
I mostly don't care about titles.
I am neurotic enough without concentrating on little shit.
Now let me continue sorting my pen and pencil case for at least an hour.enough blogged for at least a week.

Pocket Monsters.
>>139333923
Nobody uses that though.
>>139333951
The Japanese do actually.
Poketto Monsuta.

>If I haven't a clue what it could possibly be, I can't even bring myself to google it. Does anyone else have this problem?
No, you fucking lazy bum. What i hate though is if a show has multiple common names, that makes it harder to find all downloads. Especially if they start with different names. Or something like "C". I wouldn't bother.
>>139333870
>>139333917
Bad example of a long title. But that was the title that made me realize most of these are simply untranslated titles.
Here's something I just copy pasted as an example. Seitoaki Yakuindomo. I have no idea what kind of vibe this gives off.
I know I'm being an autist and should just google it but I'm saying it grinds my gears to do so. Does anyone else feel this way?
>>139333390
I feel you anon, I learned a bit of japanese but still whenever I come upon titles like "watashi no imoto ga konani busui wake ga nai, maa, dote dakara nandemo ii" I sure won't delve into them unless someone recommended it to me. Which happened with Rakugo for instance.
>>139334176
Have you been watching anime since 2016?
>>139334176
No, cause I know how to google with only clicks. Not to mention, I've seen enough shit to know what most titles mean or try to mean.
Also titles are just titles, they're not meant to tell you much. 'A certain magical Index' basically tells you as much about the story as 'Erased'
>>139333684
I barely remember titles for even some of my favorite manga. Titles are useless to me, I check what it's about and genres then I'll read the first chapter.
>>139333951
POCKETTARIII MONSUTARIIIII
>>139334497
Exactly, although there are some titles that just make you curious, like 'My balls'.
But usually titles won't tell you if something is good.
>>139334176
>Seitokai Yakuindomo
>long title
Is this a product of the murrican education system?
>>139334679
I promise we're not all this autistic. At least he admits his autism though. But holy fuck OP, if you want long ass titles, check out some LNs.

You needed help realizing japanese shows have japanese titles that are written in japanese?
>>139333390
>>139334176
Like what >>139334812 said. Unless the title is from a shitty LN turned anime then they're not usually that long. Hell, the fact that you get turned off of a show because you can't understand the title or be willing to google it says that you need to be more open minded.Other than an old and/or racist person, who'd look at a title in a foreign language and say "I don't understand this, so I'm not going to watch it."
>>139334976
The only foreign titled movie I ever watched was called Minage de trois. I probably didn't even spell that right, which is a part of the problem for me.
And that was only because the OnDemand description told me it was about a threesome and that was before we had internet.
>>139333390
Is this autism?
This is autism right?
I am starting to feel bad for OP.
It's not his fault, well he could look up the titles, but he has mental problems.
>>139335208
>ménage à trois
That literally means 3 people in a relationship. The title couldn't be more obvious.
>The only foreign titled movie I ever watched
Then why are you on /a/? Why do you watch anime? Seriously, fuck off with your closed mindedness.

Yes.
>>139335346
>Being on 4chan
>Being mentally sound
Those two don't go together though.
>>139335505
well, newfags like me are still mentally sound. right?
Just control+c control+t control+v
Wikipedia will almost always have a translated title (or a literally translated one if an official translation doesn't exist), as well as a key illustration and the genre.
Takes 2 seconds
>>139333390
You are a moron. Not many people have the guts to admit it though, so congrats.
>>139335569
You wish. Little girls are never normal in the head.
Ano Hi Aishita Kanojo no Chitai wo Bokudake ga Mada Shiranai
>>139333390
They are translated you dumb shit
I would understand if this was the association long ass title -> generic LN crap but
>im too lazy too google lol
is a cancer attitude that should not exist on the internet and in particular on 4chan.
>>139333390
Rule of thumb, OP. If the title is longer than 4 words, then you shouldn't watch it because it's just another LN adaption that was adapted from WN
>>139336192
Thank you based anon
>>139336509
I'm just saying it's a turnoff. When picking from a list of random anime, I'd most likely watch the one who's title I can read.
>>139337524
You have mental problems, it's ok. You should go somewhere where people like you are accepted, because we don't like your kind here..
Maybe he's got hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia?
>>139338259
Apparently it's only foreign titles, not even long ones. He probably has Xenoglossophobia. Poor guy, doesn't even know what he's missing out on from all the shows with non-English names.
>>139337524
JUST FUCKING HIGHLIGHT IT AND RIGHT CLICK TO GOOGLE IT INSTANTLY IT TAKES LITERALLY LESS THAN A SECOND REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee
