That explanation has always felt pretty unsatisfactory to me since this trend is as far as I'm aware, pretty unique to Japanese media. You'd think if that was the case, you'd see a similar trend in other pulp media instead of puns, wordplay, and one-liners.
They are trying to pitch to people with only a line of text, and it just gets weirder when placed into a book

This is so so incredibly stupid
Have you seen the titles for books in the Kindle store? It's practically the same thing, only instead of plot hooks they're dubious bestseller claims and vague fluff statements trying to sell you someone's NaNoWriMo project.
Seeing this in a packed theater should be wonderful.
Just to really show how it is, this is the web novel site that a lot of series start on before getting picked up by a publisher(including: Konosuba, Bofuri, Slime Isekai, Log Horizon, and others)

Now, it's all in Japanese so I doubt most people here can read it, but you can see that the home page is just a bunch of titles as text links with ads on the sides. The "What's popular" rankings are the same, just split by genre.
If a reader goes actively searching, they can get a short one paragraph summary and a list of tags for series, but that's all you get. No cover, no art, nothing else.
So yeah, authors are actively trying to game the home page and rankings lists with the really long titles.
I hadn't watched it myself since the first time around a long while ago, so it was neat knowing what's coming up and spotting the little things that haven't been explained yet, as well as the bigger ones.
As part of Elon breaking everything with Twitter people were uploading whole movies to it.

The manchild who owns Twitter is trying to make it a streaming service as part of his "everything app" push.
Now if you excuse me, I need to beat that stupid out of my head with a wall.
In my experience, that just makes it stay there.
i got bored at work and I believe this is the traditional way to celebrate such a good series
I was a bit harsh with the no isekai or shonen IDs recommend once I knew the person enough but if I can't convince my mom to watch Pluto I won't gonna convince the large amount of people I chat with at work to do the same
A old coworker I saw at a tore I left years ago told me "yo bro thanks for the metal band recommendation. They became my fave" and I was like hell yeah I love veil of Maya but I don't remember doing that's by id deffo did
So in short anime is a extreme cas e not case basis it's not my first toss out
A lot of us nerds of an older age - myself included - are maybe still a little too in the mindset of high school 20+ years ago. Anime's mainstream as hell now, even the weird stuff.
is the girl the mech
Which one do you see? The white or the black?
Which one?
Can I just say that "Gouf Troop" is a user name that deserves respect?
...so I decided to continue the theme and read another series that had the same thing. I started the light novels for Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf and I'm currently about halfway through the third one.
Sadly, it's not as good. The world-building so far isn't very good, and it uses the video game systems as part of the fantasy world which I'm usually not a fan of. They travel back and forth between Japan and the fantasy world, but I have trouble caring about the half of the book that's in the fantasy world.
Unfortunately, the Japan half also suffers from some problems. For one, it's constantly saying Japan is the best at everything (mainly food, but also any other topic when it gets brought up). The other is that Mariabelle, the title elf, is constantly described as so cute that she entrances every single person they encounter. It's not quite as bad as Rent-a-Girlfriend describing people reacting to whatshername, but it's still a bit annoying.
The second book also added a second woman from the fantasy world who's traveling to and from Japan with them. Though to their credit, so far it does not seem to be going the harem route and the second woman mostly seems to be their sassy friend who's trying to push the main two into become an official couple.
However, looking at future book covers, I see there is a third woman, so no idea how that will go.
I wish I had more Ideal Sponger Life or (spoiler manga) to read.
although hopefully it doesn't have the mana reserves as the real frieren, at least that would give Denken's group a fighting chance
I think maybe Monster Hunter does that, though I'm not very familiar with it.
gacha games i might guess, but i'm not familiar enough with them to know which ones started with 'Pull SSS class rarity heroes!'
