With the announcement of Sora Suigetsu’s The White Mage Who was Banished From the Hero's Party is Picked Up by an S-Rank Adventurer: This White Mage is Too Out of the Ordinary!, the once-charming trend of anime with comically long titles has gone too far. The unwieldy name is the latest of dozens of increasingly verbose titles, but at 26 words in length, the anime based on Suigetsu’s light novel is more than a mouthful. These hyper-descriptive titles might serve as attention-grabbing summaries, but raise concerns about practicality and the shifting priorities of the industry.
As anime continues to dominate global pop culture in 2024, its titles often reflect broader trends in the medium. Once known for concise, evocative names like Naruto or Death Note, modern anime increasingly leans toward overly descriptive phrases that essentially act as synopses. Titles like Reborn as a Vending Machine, Now I Wander the Dungeon,...

In recent years, manhwa and webtoons have experienced a boom thanks to incredible adaptations such as Solo Leveling, Tower of God and Noblesse, which have quickly become international successes and have millions of followers. This popularity has led many studios to acquire the rights to several popular manhwas, such as Omniscient Reader Viewpoint, to adapt them into anime to the delight of fans around the world.
However, even though theres a great variety of manhwa with anime currently in production, there are still excellent works that, if adapted, could revolutionize Japanese animation by offering a different and exciting experience for both fans and new viewers alike.
From fantasy isekai, far from the typical Japanese tropes of the genre, to game-themed stories and revenge journeys that display the best of martial arts, there is no doubt that if these manhwas are adapted, they have the potential to increase the number of masterpieces in anime.

One of the most popular sources for anime adaptations today is the website Shousetsuka ni Naru, translated as “Let’s Become a Novelist.” Anybody may publish their work there for free. Stories that win a devoted readership are scouted to become light novels and anime series. These include isekai titles like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation , Ascendance of a Bookworm and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! But there are also court mysteries ( The Apothecary Diaries ), romance ( My Happy Marriage ) and self-contained novels ( I Want to Eat Your Pancreas ). China and Korea have their own vibrant web fiction scenes. Stories published on sites like Qidan and KakaoPage have been adapted into comics, television series and even Japanese anime. What you may not know, though, is that there is a growing English language web fiction community. It does not yet compare in scale or prestige to its counterparts in East Asia.

Reincarnation stories in anime can be split into two categories: isekai and non-isekai stories. The Misfit of Demon King Academy and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! are must-watch titles for fans of the genre. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is recognized as one of the best isekai anime ever, thanks to its character development and worldbuilding.
Finding the best reincarnation anime is no easy task, given the theme's recent surge in popularity in the medium. The more reincarnation stories that anime fans are presented with, the more difficult it becomes to identify the actually good ones. Yet for those intrigued by such a premise, there are certainly quite a few worthwhile options.
