Give it a Light Novel Title

A Tag from Shallow Dives in Anime!

In ancient days, Dewbond from Shallow Dives in Anime created a tag called Give it a Light Novel Title. By ancient, I mean February 2020, which is, from where I sit in the USA, one month PC (Pre-COVID). I felt honored that he tagged me in the tag’s inaugural post. While I was already feeling guilty about not getting to this quickly enough, several other sites tagged me, too, like (listed with the earliest tags first):

• Lumi Reviews Things
• Pinkie’s Paradise
• Mat Doyle Media
• Inskime (which seems to have gone off line; I hope everything’s okay! I worry…)

So, in addition to Dewbond, I’d like to thank to Lumi, Pinkie, Matt Doyle, and Dana for the tag. Now, let’s see what I can do with it!

The Rules

All tags have rules, unless it’s a tag where that explicitly prohibits rules, in which case, that’s a rule. So there are still rules.

Here are the rules for the Give it a Light Novel Title tag, copied verbatim from the Source of the Tag:

• Choose up to five anime, manga or visual novel series that have a short title
  • Light novels that have shorter titles (Date A Live for example) are also allowed.
• Give these series a new title based on those classic overly long Light Novels we love!
• If someone has already picked a series you wanted. It’s OK! Let’s see your own take on the title!
• Link back to the original post so I can read people’s suggestions, I’d love to read everyone’s ideas.
• Include Give it a Light Novel title in your tags so everyone including myself can find them all easily.
• Nominate around 1-6 bloggers (see below).

My Contribution to Give it a Light Novel Title

I just want to say for the record: While this was a ton of fun, humor is hard! I hope that you enjoy what I’ve come up with!

WARNING: My alternative title for Tower of God includes a spoiler. Please be aware!

Nominations

According the The Rules, I am now to nominate between 1 and 6 bloggers. So, I nominate:

• 100 Word Anime: Because Karandi has to come back at some point, right?
• RailGunFan75’s Geek Blog: I’m curious to see if Tony Ueberfluss uses the “A Certain…” universe as the basis for his post. It has enough series!
• Secluded Observation: Because Roki Bloop, having driven Secluded Observations for seven years, is bound to have some great ideas about titles.
• Yu Alexius Anime Portal: Because Yu Alexius often re-Tweets my Tweets, and it’s about time I return the favor! If this can be called a favor. I sure hope it can…
• The Anime Basement: Because Keni’s profound good taste in speaking well of Saber/Artoria deserves recognition!
