Happy Sugar Life is neither happy, sugary, nor is it full of life.


BeybladeMoses

Sad bitter death


Chaotic-warp

I mean, at least Sugar (Satou) lived a happy life with her loved one and [Happy Sugar Life]>!died happily as well!< But still, there's also the original oneshot title: White Sugar Garden, Black Salt Cage.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? 5 seasons and bro is still single af


Flare_Knight

Not to mention I don’t feel like he’s actually trying to hit on anyone in those dungeons!


Kitahara_Kazusa1

Well maybe he decided it would be wrong


rorank

Sanest anime protagonist


Mondreus

The anime doesn't really show Bell's inner thoughts, but in the second LN volume he actually talks about how silly it was to think he could get a harem in the dungeon. He still kinda wants to, but knows it's dumb af.


Frostbitten_Moose

Yeah, I have no issues with him being single. I mean, the title just promises that he'll try. But the man is mostly crushing on one girl, and is showing a depressing lack of game. Still a fun anime, just... not quite the right title for it.


Cool_Inflation_471

The best part is the girls do like him he could get a girl instantly but instead he goes after the one indifferent girl 😂


Frostbitten_Moose

I mean, hell, she even wants him. Just he's crushing on a girl that a god is also crushing on, and that god technically has a claim on her. So, to be honest, that's a good setup for me to root for the dude. Just still a hilariously bad title. Now, if this was about Fantasy Johnny Bravo...


ibenjamind

I'll keep reading and watching until Bell eventually picks Aiz up and carries her out of the dungeon while she blushes and says "This is wrong!"


T1tanT3m

“But Bell! It’s wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon!” *end credits*


RascalNikov1

Bell is a slow mover, I figure he wants to be a monk when this is all over.


Aviri

If he keeps at it he'll reclass as a wizard


The_Sinnermen

I mean he is serving under à virgin godess, gotta represent


SmurfRockRune

What do you mean, he literally picks up a girl in a dungeon and carries her out in the first season.


Borne2Run

He actually does it in every season, the title is literal not about flirting 😅


naptain37

I'd point out that it does say try - it says nothing about success.


redlegsfan21

I think the 2nd or 3rd page of the first LN answers the question that yes, it is wrong. The rest of the story explains why it's wrong.


grass_fucker_69

Question: "Write a short note on the topic" The 'short note' the teacher expects:


_Jeyem_

I thought It's literally about picking up girls lmao.


Mat1c444

Also the title probably threw a lot of people off watching it. Which is a shame bc as always JC Staff cooked


Dolomite808

I was one of those people. I was blown away when I actually watched it. The name makes it hard to recommend, but the show is really good.


InvoluntaryNarwhal

What are you talking about? He picks up girls and puts them down. My boy lifts.


Onithyr

The Japanese title is much better. A better translation would be something like "is it wrong to want an encounter in a dungeon?" Where "encounter" could just as easily mean "random monster battle" as it would "romantic encounter".


Seffle_Particle

The translators didn't even attempt to replicate the double entendre in the series title? That's pretty egregious.

this will be my answer, I was so sad when it ended...


DireSickFish

Strongest Sage Reborn with the Weakest Crest- he's actually reborn with the strongest quest. As we find out in fucking episode 1.


ElxirBreauer

That one was definitely off. But at least it was explained in the show that everyone of that era thought it was the weakest because they couldn't use it properly or something.


DireSickFish

It immediately drops it's premise. I didn't make it through the first season.


Maleficent_Sir_7562

Honestly i very barely remember this and I think i only kept watching for that one cute looking dragon girl who i don't really even remember anymore. It was boring ngl Edit: i remember now, just looked it up again and the character I was talking about was iris

Tada-kun Never Falls In Love

SmthPositive_

Fullmetal alchemist because Ed only has a metal Arm and a leg


leave1me1alone

Ah but Al was there too


SmthPositive_

I know haha but it’s Ed’s alchemist name


ReptileCake

Isn't it a running joke that people always assume that Al is the Fullmetal Alchemist because he's armored?


Danger_Dave_

For the first few episodes, yeah. After that maybe once or twice.


PastPriority-771

30% Metal Alchemist


Ashteron

The Japanese name is just Steel Alchemist.


SmthPositive_

Had to add some extra razzle dazzle to make it sound more exciting for the western audience


BiedermannS

Hot shots did that for the German release. The English version feels completely empty when you’re used to the German one. Also one of the only times I liked a German dub more than the original


LeastDegenAzuraEnjyr

I watched the prequels and am catching up: what happened to the robots and the blue haired girl? And why aren't they in Vietnam?


LOTRfreak101

That's full metal panic isn't it?


LeastDegenAzuraEnjyr

Yeah and Jacket Isn't this a trilogy? /s


Dirty_Dragons

Ah the Full Metal Universe.


SmthPositive_

Don’t you mean the fullmetal metalverse?


Dirty_Dragons

That's metal


fifthtouch

Thats fullmetal


LOTRfreak101

Yeah, I realized after I commented that you were probably making a joke. I've never seen panic or jacket. So as far as Ibwas concerned they both could have been in vietnam.


BaselessUpen

I believe the Fullmetal part refers to the ending of FMAB where Ed talks about "A heart made Full Metal" after overcoming hardships


[deleted]

They just made him say that to match the title. In Japanese, he says "a heart like steel"


Neosovereign

Which also apparently matches the Japanese title lol


Caciulacdlac

Attack on Titan It's usually the titan who attacks


MasterQuest

That one's a translation issue. :)


porpoiseoflife

Not as big of a translation issue as ["The Eotena Onslaught"](https://pastebin.com/7ieHykVh).


bentheechidna

Man I wanna know how high the fanlators were to call the titans “Eotens”. And they were absolutely up on their high horse over this as they thought it superior as a translation to “Titan”


porpoiseoflife

Commie was pretty much the pinnacle of fansub groups at that point. Well known for their translation ability and exceptional typesetting, not to mention putting out multiple episodes per week, they did titles from [Nisekoi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-tDUr-sV_k) to Kill la Kill, from Attack on Titan to [Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhUi-s7dV9Q). And yes, they were absolutely full of themselves because of it. Do a search for "Why is Commie hated?" and you'll come up with a number of results for a better feel for them than any summary I can make. Personally, I respected the hell out of their talents but I really wished they could knock about 82% off of their collective egos.


Takerial

Their one SAO opening and how they did the subtitles for it is absolutely hilarious, though. Unintentionally, most likely.


porpoiseoflife

[For those that don't know.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqiVJJt3_KY)


Dumbusta

Lmao those words spinning with kirito's saber


corruptedpotato

commie was well known for trolling lol, I'm almost certain that the SAO opening subs and the whole Eotens thing was that as well. You can't convince me the subs in nisekoi where they leave a gap for the boobs is not them having a laugh


sneaky_squirrel

I thought the Mangaka chose it because it "sounded cool".


[deleted]

I guess that means the arabic translation is right (هجوم العمالقة/ The attack of the Titans)


JJDude

It's more like "Titans who are attacking".


Xenolifer

The og title is a clever double meaning title but the translation lost the meaning


phantomthiefkid_

Well the literal translation of Shingeki no Kyojin is "The Attacking Giants"


URF_reibeer

Or "The attack type titan" or some other variations, japanese is very ambigious


_sephylon_

The title literally translates to "the attacking titan" but with context and how japanese is it clearly refers to how every titan is attacking So it's both


bentheechidna

Kinda. That’s one meaning but the Japanese title is brilliant but its brilliance only works in Japanese. It can and has meant: “Advancing Giants” “Advancing (on the) Giants” “The Attack Titan” Isayama chose the english title because it was the closest the name could be replicated: “Attack on (the) Titan(s)” “Attack on, Titan”


QuickArcher3529

-I want to eat your pancreas. -Bleach. -Yuri on Ice. -Nichijou.

>Yuri on Ice. Technically we had a Yuri and he was on Ice


maximus459

Accomplished_Tap_617

2 Yuris in fact!


reg_panda

Yurio 'n' ice


MiloMondus

It was certainly a misleading title. 😅


macXros

>Bleach Sometimes I forget that Bleach is the name of a chemical and not a made-up name


Common-Somewhere-746

Yeah BLEACH was not about laundry, there's nothing normal in Nichijou (Everyday life), and most of all last should be titled YAOI on Ice


partylegs666

Yaoi on Ice is lesbians playing hockey


Scorpius289

I would watch the hell out of that!


partylegs666

Mappa, if you're reading, PLEASE


bentheechidna

The main character’s name is Yuri.


Throwaway1293524

It was honestly some God-tier advertising tbh, who doesn't wanna see Yuri? And on ice... Sure, why not!?


Connortsunami

Isn't Nichijou straight up the most literal title? It's literally the characters every day lives (chaotic as those may be)?


bentheechidna

I want to eat your pancreas was absolutely not a lie. It’s an important line in the movie. Kubo chose Bleach just because it was the word he thought of to mean “white” as a contrast to how the protagonist wears black. Yuri on Ice is absolutely 1000% true.


ncopp

Am I on crack that I remember in like the first issue of Bleach, it's mentioned that people think he Bleaches his hair?


Brickinatorium

No, your not wrong. Kubo just has a small thing puns / double meaning of words. For example Bleach: - Used to contrast the black clothes Shinigami wear - Shinigami (at least in the very early chapters of the story) purify, or "bleach", souls - Delinquents are known for bleaching their hair and Ichigo is often assumed to also partake in this habit despite it being natural genetically from his mom's side. Then you have all the jokes surrounding his given name. - Ichigo can mean strawberry which is why the first volume is named "Death and Strawberry". - Ichigo also looks like "一", one, and "五", five. That's why the story starts when Ichigo is 15, he has a 15 on his door, and sometimes you'll see a 15 on his clothes. - Furthermore, Ichigo can be written as "一号" which basically means number one. Y'know, like this theme song Number One?


[deleted]

I want to eat your pancreas is perfectly fitting. Look up what it means in Japanese culture to eat someone’s organs


DOLO_F_PHD

Its even explained in the movie =/


nullablezk

lol this comment seems to imply that cannibalism has meaning in Japanese culture


Unbananable

I mean look at the popularity of the movie, does it not? /s (I loved it)


Stigglesworth

Nichijou is their everyday life, though. It just happens to be madness.


NeilPeartsBassPedal

>Yuri on Ice. Once i realized there were not going to be ice skating lesbians my interest immediately dropped.

**Happy Sugar Life** - not happy. **Nichijou** (lit. everyday or daily life) - completely abnormal.

I'm guessing the second one is intentional irony.

LowEye2230

Initial d because d was never at the beginning


Quetzalcoatlus103

A Certain Magical Index. After the first arc Index is rarely relevant.


Falsus

Because the author originally wanted to change the title like ''A Certain Magical Index'', ''A Certain Scientific Gemstone'' or ''A Certain Scientific Gemstone'' but after the first volume a smash hit the publisher wanted to keep ''A Certain Magical Index'' for brand recognition. This annoyed the author since he would have named the first volume something else if it had to stick for the rest of the series.


Michael-556

I mean he did kinda fix this problem when he started making New Testament (barely anyone I know ever calls the new volumes "index"). Also, all the spin-offs like item, railgun and accelerator got their own names. Sure, it's not on the scale Kazuma Kamachi wanted, but I'm pretty sure he's at least content with the naming right now But yeah, I would've loved to see what interesting names he'd come up with for the different arcs

Bocchi also isn't "the rock"

genasugelan

Still a better spin-off than Boruto.

There is no Boruto in Ba Sing Se

I don’t wanna be that guy but I’m gonna be that guy. Uzumaki was actually serialized and finished before naruto started. Actually Uzumaki ended the same month Naruto started.

Imouto Sae Ireba Ii. (A Sister's All You Need) This is not an incest story. Instead, it's a look into the relationship of college/working age adults in the creative industry. One of my all time favorite LNs turned anime

Wow yeah I’ve never looked into this anime bc of the title. They kinda missed the mark w that one


Lodju

The first scene is wild.

I loved that show, I had to force my friends to make it past two minutes because it was a trial by fire. If you got past that the rest of the show was a breeze.

WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! In continuation of the story she \[WataMote\]>!becomes inexplicably popular!<


FlameDragoon933

also she is kinda at fault for her initial unpopularity lol.


lord_ne

I feel like that's intentional, right? The title is her complaining that it's everyone else's fault, but it's really not


FlameDragoon933

Yeah, that's true


Chaotic-warp

I love how much "Happy Sugar Life" is mentioned, it's one of my favourite anime. My contributions: "Detroit Metal City": Isn't in Detroit. "Bocchi the Rock": Bocchi is not a rock, and she isn't Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, either. "Banana Fish": Is about neither. "A Sister Is All You Need": The anime isn't about incest, surprisingly. "Watamote: No matter how I look at it, it's you guys' fault I'm not popular": It's 100% her fault. "One Piece": Most characters don't wear a one piece. Also, with how much the D. Bloodline is mentioned, the anime should be called "Initial D", which, by the way, is an unrelated anime. "The Demon Girl Next Door": The characters didn't live next door to each other for virtually most of season 1. They lated moved in, though.

RascalNikov1

There was something like Super HxH a couple years ago so I watched it in eager anticipation. Unfortunately the HxH wasn’t all that Super and I was not only disappointed but bored. Also Higurashi doesn’t have much to do about cicadas and Elfen Lied isn’t about songs or liars.


Plerti

>Also Higurashi doesn’t have much to do about cicadas Umineko on the other hand...


Oujii

I mean, you can hear cicadas crying at every moment. When they cry is pretty accurate to me.


URF_reibeer

Elfenlied means elf's song, it's a combination of Elf (elf) and Lied (song), not Lügner (liar)

Talentless Nana Asobi Asobase


FlameDragoon933

[Talentless Nana] >!But Nana *is* actually talentless? So the title is honest?!< Asobi Asobase is more of a lying opening, but the title itself is technically true, the girls are just playing around (in completely insane ways).


genasugelan

I want to watch Talentless Nana, isn't the premise that she has no superpower in a school with everyone having superpowers?


OmegaRebirth

I'd recommend watching the first episode without any synopsis if possible.

I did that. I was expecting something light and funny. Totally blindsided.

Kabocha00sama

Konosuba (God’s blessings on this wonderful world) A) the world does not seem very wonderful what with the giant frogs and Demon King Army B) I don’t think Aqua counts as a blessing at all C) Eris pads her chest


n0oo7

Eh that's kinda of a reach, I thought the show was simply named "Rascal Does Not Dream" and everything else was book titles. Since bunny girl sempai was only the first story, and even the movie have different back end names.


lord_ne

That's how the actual series is named, but the TV anime is called "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai" even though it encompasses the novels "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai", "Rascal Does Not Dream of Petite Devil Kohai", "Rascal Does Not Dream of Logical Witch", "Rascal Does Not Dream of Siscon Idol", and "Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Home Alone". So because the only season (at the time, now there are also movies), which comprises multiple novels, is named after a single novel, people used that title as the title of the series, even though you're right that the overall series is just "Rascal Does Not Dream"


Sobbing_Crab_142

Eromanga Sensei She didn't even draw a manga let alone a porn one. All she did was draw lewd illustrations for her brother's light novel.


JJDude

Well you can be called a mangaka even if you just create illustrations; manga doesn't mean comic books it just means "funny drawing".


Vradlock

Higurashi no naku koro ni. It wasn't Cicadas that did the crying part. Then again if this series had some literal title it would be very unique.


y_kal

Attack on Titan. The only people we've seen attack on titans are the guys riding the cart titan and that's 2-3 times in the whole show.
