Higurashi when they cry does the whole concept of time reset well (2006).

Trigun sequel is coming out this year.

2026 titles have caught on that trend of a really long specific title though.

“The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life”

I think anime is a big enough category that every year there’s always at least a few good ones but it’s hard to get good signal to noise. But the whole tiny girl thing is 100% a trend that’s stuck around.

Those titles are a result of the webnovel -> lightnovel pipeline. Users won't click unless they like the concept so authors started to just put the tagline directly in the title.

Aren’t there a few Trigun sequel series already out (Stampede (2023), Stargaze (2026)), or do you mean something different?
