I wonder what casual anime fans think when the see crazy LN adaptation titles like these.

Casual fans probably do not even know what LN's and adaptations are. Crazy titles are irrelevant with them.


They wouldn't like themes as this anyways, no matter the title. They think it's crazy. Smile

How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend...never thought I'd see that as a title for a show...Laughing

I'm sure just having the word "girlfriend" in it will attract a certain group of people.


Are ya insinuating the ones without?

Yes, you'd need a part time job just to afford Aniplex's Blu Rays. Laughing

This looks obnoxious, like the worst kind of boring, harem LN adaptation. So the title fits!

I think it takes a little more than "just not having a girlfriend", but I don't know how to describe this particular predilection without sounding like I'm being derogatory, so I won't.

Wow! An anime called "Saekano:How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend." This title by Aniplex will have the feminist community up in arms. You can bet that people like Gloria Steinem and the National Organization of Women will be picketing outside Aniplex USA's studio for that title alone. I've got a feeling that it's not going to be a parody of "Saikano."

Saikano and Saekano? Sounds like either a strange coincidence or a strange licensing idea upfront.

I was just chuckling about what a bizarre coincidence it was that these two articles were right next to each other. Especially with one being an early simulcast announcement and the other being a license rescue. Just bizarre!

I will probably check this one out just because of the coincidence. LOL
