I love needlessly long manga titles.

And there are people like “this is the single best manga I’ve ever read” and it’s the most generic ridiculously overspecific title and premise in history

It’s from AnimeMaru, which is (was?) basically the Anime Onion.

However, “Mukuwarenakatta Murabito A, Kizoku ni Hirowarete Dekiai sareru Ue ni, Jitsu wa Motteita Densetsu-kyuu no Kami Skill mo Kakusei shita” (The Villager Who Was Abandoned, Was Picked Up by an Aristocrat and Awakened a Legendary Divine Skill) is an actual series which has an anime announced.

Japanese web pages are like this too. If you look up articles (not really newspaper stuff, but just random web articles), the title always goes on about a sentence more than what we’d expect in the west. I just searched for “horror movie history” and got “What was the first horror movie and its origin? Try to think about works that have had a big influence”, whereas we’d expect a title more like “origins of the first horror movie”.
