10 Anime with Absurdly Long Titles in 2021

Is your favorite series included in the list of 10 Anime with Absurdly Long Titles this 2021?

We are three months already into 2021. Fans are excited that their anticipated anime that was announced the previous year is finally here.

Of course, that means new seasons, new shows and… longer titles?

If you’re wondering why there’s a need for these hilariously long titles, you might have already guessed the answer.

It’s because this is easier to explain than reading the blurbs of the light novels and manga themselves. Plus, they make the story all the more memorable and intriguing.

Titles such as ‘Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?’ or ‘Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day’, prove you don’t need a short title to be good.

We just happen to have a list of 10 ongoing and upcoming anime of 2021 famous for their absurdly lengthy titles.

When she finds out she’s been incarnated into a 17-years-old witch, Azusa promises herself to use the second life she’s given to finally settle down and relax, unlike the life she’s had before.

She spends her days hunting down monsters for a living, more specifically: Slimes, which is the easiest to defeat.

After countless encounters with the mob, she gains bizarre skills and powers, maxing out her skill. Would she put them to good use, or will she continue living the lax life she’s had for centuries?
