So I'm trying to write up a post about How The Fuck Do You Choose Anime To Recommend To Anime Newbies Anyway (because seriously, so many lists out there are all 'uhhh here's a list of the most popular shonen series kthxbai'), and I bring up the Most Popular Anime list on Crunchyroll.
Just looking at the first two rows (all that's visible on my screen until I scroll): first three are indeed the usual shonen suspects - Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and One Piece. I recognize a few others from Tumblr (I follow someone who regularly posts Vinland Saga gifs) or ads (the splash page for Crunchyroll is currently Hell's Paradise).
Also there's three series that appear to have been titled by Chuck Tingle. The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist In Another World? Chillin In My 30s After Getting Fired From The Demon King's Army? Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill? (Wait, actually... :adds that last one to my queue:)
Is this 'the title is the summary' thing recent? I don't remember seeing this before, but before committing to Fannish Fifty, I also hadn't watched much anime since YURI!!! ON ICE back in 2016, so I absolutely admit that this might just be a knee-jerk reaction of how dare things change. Ah well.
(I know, I know, those series aren't actually titled by Chuck Tingle. Not a single thing is getting pounded in the butt, and there's a marked lack of sexy dinosaurs. But it's a good theory!)
