YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ACTUAL ANIME TITLES
21. If I don’t successfully pick up 420 girls, I am going to die in a lot of different ways.
| Title | If I dont successfully pick up 420 girls, I am going to die in a lot of different ways |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance |
| Type | ONA |
| Studio | Trigger |
| Premiered | Jan 25, 2013 |
| Episode Count | 1 |
| Duration | 2 min. |
To begin, if I do not successfully pick up 420 girls, I will die in a variety of ways. Yes, it is lengthy and direct. It gives the plot of the anime and the motivation of the MC, but it’s also strange in a lot of ways.
As well as the fated event if he does not complete his goal. But don’t worry if you think this anime will take 420 episodes to complete. This is only a one-episode ONA; in fact, it is a promotional video for light novel writer Naruto Kiriyama, who wrote Yonhyakunijuu Renpai Girl; it is more of a reward for his novel’s publishing house after winning the 14th Entame Taisho.
20. Story in Which I Was Kidnapped by a Young Lady’s School to be a “Sample of the Common People”
| Title | The Story in Which I Was Kidnapped by a Young Ladys School to be a Sample of the Common People |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance, Ecchi |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | SILVER LINK. |
| Premiered | Fall 2015 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
Our second course has a narrative title that pretty much sums up the plot. The young lad was most likely kidnapped as an example of what a common person is by a young lady’s school. Strange, I feel like this is Nagataro before Nagataro got an anime adaptation!
The Story in Which I Was Kidnapped by a Young Lady’s School to be a Sample of the Common People follows Kimito Kagarazaka, an already odd main character. I said strange because of his fetish for men’s muscles, which is a lie he told to avoid Seikan Academy, an elite all-girls school.
Ironically, he was kidnapped for that same reason and was used as a commoner example, just like the title said so.
19. I My Me! Strawberry Eggs
| Title | I My Me! Strawberry Eggs |
| Genre | Comedy, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | TNK |
| Premiered | Summer 2001 |
| Episode Count | 13 |
| Duration | 25 min. per ep. |
What? My mama, mia? Are you as perplexed as I am?
At the very least, this anime is not a member of the long-title anime crew! The perplexing anime doesn’t reveal much; it could be about food. Or perhaps romance, because strawberries are delicious, right?
This is an anime about a man who dresses as a woman in order to get a job as a teacher at a school that does not accept men. Regardless of how unethical it is, and regardless of how much I enjoy crossdressing, I would never do it as a teacher! But you’re probably wondering what the title means, right?
Don’t think too hard about it; it’s just a Japanese pun that I don’t understand. However, Strawberry is Ichigo and Eggs are Tamago, ichigo tamago.
18. YuruYuri: For Whatever Reason, Never Ending, Heart Throbbing, Pitter-patter, Paradox Eternal
| Title | YuruYuri: For Whatever Reason, Never Ending, Heart Throbbing, Pitter-patter, Paradox Eternal |
| Genre | Comedy |
| Type | Special |
| Studio | Doga Kobo |
| Premiered | Nov 16, 2011 |
| Episode Count | 1 |
| Duration | 3 minutes |
A special episode of this series will send your heart doki-doki as Chinatsu’s strange drawings of a handsome prince and an ugly girl come to life and find true love… Maybe not doki-doki because her drawings are hideous. BUT you get the idea!
We follow Akari and her childhood friends as they launch a new club called the Amusement Club. Chinatsu got sucked into the mess for whatever reason, and now their sole purpose is to entertain themselves!
17. I Want To Eat Your Pancreas
| Title | I Want To Eat Your Pancreas |
| Genre | Drama, Romance, Slice of Life |
| Type | Movie |
| Studio | Studio VOLN |
| Premiered | Sep 1, 2018 |
| Episode Count | 1 |
| Duration | 1 hr. 48 min. |
You are not permitted to eat my Pancakes! Oh, what is a pancreas?
The ridiculous anime title, on the other hand, has nothing to do with Jeff Dahmer or eating people! This is a fantastic anime with memorable moments. An aloof boy develops feelings for a dying girl.
Follow the story of two polar opposite people who become close in an instant. It is an anime that investigates the meaning of life. Yoru Suminos’ novel is a masterpiece, and the anime highlights his already powerful story.
This anime did not eat my Pancreas, but it did eat my heart and soul!
16. WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
| Title | WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? |
| Genre | Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Satelight, C2C |
| Premiered | Spring 2017 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
What would you do if the world came to an end? An intriguing existential title that comes highly recommended by the author. I’m disgusted by the title, which sounds ridiculous but is overwhelming if you watch the show.
It tells the story of Willem Kmetsch, a brave soldier who risks his life and abandons his loved ones to slay an enigma of a monster. He won, but he was frozen, like Aang or Captain America.
During his sleep, a terrifying monster known as a beast emerges and wipes out humanity. He awoke 500 years later to discover that he was the last human alive.
It’s an anime with an absurdly long but intriguing title. It is not a humorous title, but rather a reflective one. As a result, WorldEnd: What do you do when the world comes to an end? Are you preoccupied? Will you save us? Anime deserves a place on this list!
15. Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren’t They?
| Title | Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Arent They? |
| Genre | Action, Comedy, Fantasy |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Diomedéa |
| Premiered | Winter 2013 |
| Episode Count | 10 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
Anime titles, like listening to anime op translations, can be perplexing. This ridiculous anime title confuses me so much that even persim berries won’t help! But this is Japan, so chill out, ya bum!
This is a story about three special teenagers who have superpowers but are struggling with their daily lives. They were summoned in a world where they are tasked with participating in various games similar to No Game No Life, but there are three problematic children instead of two!
Kurousagi, the bunny girl who found them, was shown empathy by Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kudou, and You Kasukabe. When they discover that her community is impoverished and has lost its official status, resulting in a barren landscape. The trio resolved to assist her and the residents!
It’s a funny isekai worth watching but not having. But it begs the question, what if there’s an anime like Guy Realizing He’s Just An Anime Character, Aren’t We?
14. Listen To Me Girls. I Am Your Father.
| Title | Listen To Me Girls. I Am Your Father. |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance, Slice of Life |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | feel. |
| Premiered | Winter 2012 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
Girls, Pay Attention. I Am Darthva- I mean I am Your Father, which isn’t as strange as some of the others, but it’s a ridiculous anime title. It’s very commanding, but it does hint at what it is.
The main character is Yuuta Segawa, a young man in his first year of university. A friend who he considers a big sister asked him to look after three small children. To prevent the three from accompanying their parents, big brother Yuuta Segawa acted as a father figure.
It is a sweet slice-of-life anime about child care, with the main character juggling school and being a temporary guardian to three small children. Although the quality appears to be low, it appears that they were practising!
13. Mangirl!
| Title | Mangirl! |
| Genre | Comedy, Slice of Life |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Doga Kobo |
| Premiered | Winter 2013 |
| Episode Count | 13 |
| Duration | 3 min. per ep. |
Uhmmm….. First and foremost. This isn’t about being transgender, please understand. Neither is it about gender identity. This is simply a common cultural difference between us. That is why it is absurd that it can misinterpret English-speaking viewers. When I showed this to my friends, they all assumed it was Bl anime xD.
It’s an anime about a group of girls who want to make manga despite their lack of experience. But who can stop this incredible girl from achieving their objectives?
We were going to start a manga magazine.
Will they be able to do so?
12. The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes
| Title | The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes |
| Genre | Action, Adventure, Fantasy |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Zexcs |
| Premiered | Summer 2010 |
| Episode Count | 24 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
The title is hilarious because of the repetition! In the past, I’ve enjoyed the short and precise titles that were also hilarious. In contrast to the title, the anime storyline is not repetitive.
It is an exciting story about a young mage with cursed eyes who is looking for useful relics to help their nation. The two set out to achieve their goal and discover the secret behind his mysterious cursed eye, aided by a beautiful swordsman named Ferris Eris (the name is kinda funny xD).
The anime is already a bit old for the new baby bloomers of anime watchers, but it’s still worth a look! Especially with its absurd anime title.
11. And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?
| Title | And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online? |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance, Ecchi |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Project No.9 |
| Premiered | Spring 2016 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
Well, the answer is yes, as I suspected. Because there were never any anime girls online, I prefer boys. That may sound strange, but the ridiculous anime title is actually true for the majority of gamers.
After all, gamer girls are like pearls in the sea.
But, in any case, the anime is about a guy who proposes to a crush he had in an online game, but is turned down because the girl tells him he is an old man in real life. Isn’t that a bummer?
In a video game, Hideka Nishimura or Rusian was the naive otaku who was rejected. Years later, he was a member of a guild with three other players. Ako is the name of a female character who stands out. The girl falls in love with Rusian, but his past trauma haunts him.
But one fateful encounter had revealed their true identity to him. Ako and the other members are not only girls, but his classmates as well!
10. Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?
| Title | Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? |

| Type | TV |
| Studio | J.C.Staff |
| Premiered | Spring 2015 |
| Episode Count | 13 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
I’m not sure why you’re asking me about anime titles.
This is yet another ridiculous anime title that was designed to be a question. The good news is that it is grammatically correct and easy to read.
This is the story of Bell Cranel, Zeus’ grandson, as he journeys to the dungeon, levels up, and makes new friends. He used to be a washed-up kid who was rejected by everyone, but everything changed when the Goddess Hestia took him and made him a member of her Familia.
The province of Ontario has its own mystery that will intertwine with Bell Cranel’s rise to fame. This is an anime about a seemingly weak MC who is actually much stronger than most people believe!
9. I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job.
| Title | I Couldnt Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job. |

| Type | TV |

| Premiered | Fall 2013 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
Give this anime title a standing ovation for getting right to the point! It’s quite long, but it’s on point and gives a hint about the plot.
We all have dreams, and Raul Chaser is no exception. MC aspires to be a HERO, as the title suggests. However, due to the wonderful yet unfortunate events of the world, the world is leaning toward peace. The hero programme he wishes to join has been closed down because there is no point in being a hero if the demon king has already been defeated.
Raul had no choice but to take a job at a small electronics store. Surprisingly, his coworker was a demon, the defeated demon king’s daughter. What is the meaning of this seemingly chaotic scenario? Fino Bloodstone was assigned to him to teach him everything he needed to know about their job.
I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job might be your next favourite anime, so why not give it a shot?
8. A Sister’s Is All You Need
| Title | A Sisters Is All You Need |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | SILVER LINK. |
| Premiered | Fall 2017 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
If you’ve always wanted a little sister but never had one, this anime is for you! It’s a simple anime title; it’s not crazy like others, but it’s ridiculous.
If you enjoy anime stories centred on a writer, this is the anime for you. The anime revolves around a main character who is obsessed with her sister and works as a light novel writer. His stories are primarily about sister and brother relationships.
Itsuki and his friends investigate the life of a writer with the help of a small group of friends. Playing fun games, exploring Japan, and eating delicious food It’s a slice-of-life rom-com that you should definitely watch!
7. My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy
| Title | My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy |
| Genre | Comedy, Romance |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | Diomedéa |
| Premiered | Fall 2013 |
| Episode Count | 10 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
Okay, back to the lengthy titles! Here’s another anime that’s simple at best, but quite catchy and entertaining to read.
My mental choices are completely interfering with my academic performance. The story of Romantic Comedy, or simply Noucome, revolves around a young boy who is forced to participate in a system known as absolute choice. It presents him with a random choice and requires him to act based on his selection. Imagine how difficult it would be to tarnish his already tarnished Skyfall reputation.
6. Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?
| Title | Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? |
| Genre | Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | J.C.Staff |
| Premiered | Summer 2019 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
Yes, I adore his mother, as well as his two-hit multi-target slippers.
But if you think this is a wholesome anime that every mother enjoys, think again. This is anime, and there is no way it could be wholesome without a mother’s constant affection for her son.
Masato Oosuki was given and thrown into a fantasy MMORPG world in this isekai anime. Instead of a solo adventure, her mother, Mamako, accompanied her. A mother with a superpower travels with her son in order to clear the game.
Consider Kirito, but instead of Asuna, consider his mother. That may sound strange, but it’s true.
5. Lucifer And The Biscuit Hammer
| Title | Lucifer And The Biscuit Hammer |
| Genre | Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama |
| Type | TV |
| Studio | NAZ |
| Premiered | Summer 2022 |
| Episode Count | 24 |
| Duration | 24 min. per ep. |
A new anime, adapted this year for the summer of 2022. I assumed Lucifer was making us biscuits and doing carpentry, but boy was I wrong! It is one of the season’s underrated anime that you should watch!
It tells the story of Yuuhi Amamiya, who awoke with a talking lizard surrounding him, claiming that he was chosen as a knight to protect the princess and prevent the world from being destroyed by a Giant Hammer visible from the sky, but only to knights like him.
Yuuhi, unimpressed by the prospect of risking his life for the sake of the world, did what any normal human being would do: he pretended to be hallucinating. This all changes when he meets Princess Samidare Asahina, who wants to stop the hammer because she wants to destroy the world on her own.
4. Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist

| Premiered | Summer 2015 |
| Episode Count | 12 |
| Duration | 23 min. per ep. |
Chastity is being honoured to its utmost as Japan’s new morality laws develop special devices that monitor every citizen, and I mean every citizen. All things obscene are prohibited and suppressed, but Tanukichi Okuma vigorously opposes this law.
He has been labelled a terrorist and now joins forces with his friends to spread obscenity! All within the bounds of PG, of course! Soon enough, our MC is drawn into Blue Snow’s antics, and their quest to oppose their government continues!!
3. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

| Type | TV |
| Studio | Toei Animation |
| Premiered | Fall 2003 |
| Episode Count | 76 |
| Duration | 25 min. per ep. |
This is a parody of the North Fist Star; just reading the title is entertaining! The main character is Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, who works hard to defeat the Maruhage Empire’s tyranny. An anime with a strange-looking main character that promises a lot of laughs.
It lives up to the title’s expectation of being strange! It’s an anime to look into, and could you do me a favor? Do you understand what I’m saying? I seriously doubt it!
2. Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gotaman
| Title | Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gotaman |

| Type | OVA |
| Studio | animate Film, Studio Kikan |
| Premiered | May 24, 1994 |
| Episode Count | 1 |

Both the title and the anime are probably the funniest. Just take a look at YouTube to see what I mean!
It’s a story about Mari Amachi, a Christian girl who enrols in Perfect Religion Academy. It is a school that welcomes students of all faiths in the hopes of grooming them to be the next generation of leaders. When one of her friends was kidnapped by a cult, she prayed to Budha for help, and the god responded. Butt Attack Punisher Girl was born!

For starters, this is the strangest and most ridiculous anime title I’ve come across, as well as the creepiest anime I’ve ever seen. It is very straightforward, as implied by the title. So, if you’re interested in watching it, my friend, the door is open!
No, sir, I’m not going to show you my undies, but I will make a disgusted face at you! Bonk!
Conclusion
That’s all there is to our list! Which anime title do you find absurd? Did we overlook something? Tell us in the comments!
