I'm not so sure, I think anyone not familiar with anime would probably laugh at these descriptive titles just as much if not more. It would be like if say, Lord of the Rings was called "That Time I Had to Destroy the Ring of Power Before the Dark Lord Conquered the World" (which for all I know, I suppose might be what it's called in Japan).
Avoiding the entire isekai genre wherever possible helps; my current schedule is full of nicely eccentric titles from '
Boogiepop And Others' to '
Dororo', and '
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' to '
Double Decker'. The 'another world' shows suffer from similarities which run far deeper than their copy-pasted titles and how the trend is still snowballing without losing momentum baffles me.
The weird titles don't bother me as much as the recent increase in titles written in grammatically-offensive English, like
'How much heavy dumbbells can you lift?',
'And you thought there is never a girl online?' and
'Fireworks, should we see it from the side or the bottom?'. I don't mind deliberately bonkers titles like '
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes' or '
Bobobo-bo bo bobo', but if they're going to be pretentious and use a verbose phrase as an official international title would it kill them to get someone to check whether it makes sense first?
