We Don't Understand Anime Light Novels (ft. TheAnimeMan & CDawgVA) 

Great video, Grant!

The deep philosophy of Light Novel titles

New Title: "My Name Isn't Real?! Garnt Goes On A Journey To Validate His Name's Existence."

Is no one gonna praise Garnt about his poker face. Dude kept a straight face for 29 minutes watching two monke brains discussing while also not giving anything away

I feel like the AI knew Connor as a toxic gamer because it looked up Twitch before it got to work.

LN Title: That time we were in a world where Gigguk posts a video within 3 days of his last one

“I WOKE UP IN ANOTHER WORLD AND- I miss my family.” Where’s that novel book walker?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Isekai." I have found the new name of Gigguk's channel!

Breaking news: Garnt is still not recognized as a real name.

Garnt: Not a name Joey: Haruhi’s sex slave Connor: STRONGEST GAMER AI is learning too much too quick.

Plot twist: An A.I. autogenerated and misspelled the name "Grant" to "Garnt" and his parents didn't bother changing his name

Complete the trilogy: Part three video where they review the fanart/story submission for these titles?

Still waiting for "the unwanted virginity of a genius" to be released

I remember Garnt saying on trash taste he was looking to make his content more collab friendly. Well he fucking nailed it with this one. Loved trashbot-chan

I like how their logic goes from "The weirdest ones are fake" at the beginning, to "the stupider it is, the most likely it is real"

The first one I was like: "Oh, there's no way in hell that this is real" And then the book art showed up and... I've actually read it...

Joey: Harem Protagonist Connor: Isekai Gamer Protagonist Garnt: Unidentified Mob Character

This is just a trash taste special with extra steps

"I read a light novel title that was too long and died so I got reincarnated as a Demon-Witch-Wizard Guy who has a Harem! " Is a LN title I can still believe exists

The Unwanted Virginity of a Genius Author: Joey Inspiration by an A.I ME: **VISIBLE CONFUSION**

These videos are just an excuse for Gigguk to try and say garnt is a real name when we all know it isn't

Guys, hear me out. What if Garnt writes a light novel? "I became a millionare selling AI Light Novel titles to Japanese authors, yet nobody can spell my name right!"

"Joey Biz: How I got Naked In Another World" Anime man: "YASS"

I love how when Connor and Joey are having a legit discussion about the titles and Garnt is just silently sitting ther sipping water

Grant's light novel title be like : I got reincarnated to a world where everyone knows my name.

27:20 that "Another World's Strongest Gamer" is so Connor

For the record, the Index one was actually a 10 year anniversary special that the author did to basically crossover most of his major franchises characters into one special volume. So the title was literally a combination of all the titles of his works together.

“What the fuck” -CDawgVA Truly relatable words

'Conner Wants to be A Hero but Is Actually a DICK!" Part 1, is actually the training arc.

I see the "Joey being naked in another world" light novel being an isekai onsen reviewer type of deal.

Connor: "Shorter titles are hard" You just summed up LN naming conventions in one go.

Dopious is actually slang. When someone or something has large amounts of coolness. It’s a combination of the words dope and copious.

I am disappointed “The ancient magus of haruhi suzumiya” wasn’t on this list

I’m a data science and machine learning student in my last year of university. I really appreciated how you went so in depth with the topic educating people on such a difficult idea on top of making such an entertaining video!

Crazy how I come back to this video 2 years later and the very first Light Novel title given is actually something airing right now "campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill"

Another classic collab by Garnet the Quizmaster Corner the fake caller And Josh the analyst

People: AI WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!! AI: What is Garnt? a fruit? a new language?

Kaho collab idea: Let the AI learn some JAV titles and have Kaho come over and guess if they're real or not. XD

“Connor Dawg Virginia: 93% of Ladies Fall for Him!!”

I’m so early that truck-kun is still parked

Garnt is feeling left out so I made a couple light novel titles for him: Garnt degenerated in another world of dopious thighs Garn'ts little sister is a tsundere demon lord in another world: the dumpster is on fire

0:12 Gigguck: I designed an AI... Fabby: Am I a joke to you?

Garnt's cheeky sip of his tea, knowing full well Joey and Connor are going all-in with the wrong answer

That vampire seeking sister thing looks like the kind of shit that would get an anime adaptation no one wants, while actual interesting and well written stuff gets ignored.

Spoilers. StiII laughing at the *"Connor wants to be a hero but is actually a DlCK! Part 2 : another worlds strongest gamer"*

"Don't underestimate my *POWER* " - *AI* nakin

Connor and joey pulling increasingly bigger brain moves and getting constantly in the way of each other.

At this point I'm considering all these collabs as just new Trash Taste specials

*Gigguk is still not recognized as a name* Gigguk: *Crying because he can’t be a vending machine in another world with a bunch of waifus.*

fun fact: the index title that garnt showed was a spin off where the characters from the author's various light novek franchises interacts with each other. I vaguely remember it being at least 3 titles including a certain magical index series, zashiki warashi of the intellectual village, and heavy object.

Joey & Conner: *discussing eagerly* Grant: *sips his tea knowingly*

Joey: "Where would the plot go with a skill like 'campfire cooking'?" Me having read an isekai manga where the protagonist's skill is to summon an RV:

If the AI was trained on japanese titles, generated titles in japanese which are then translated to english, it might be impossible to tell the difference

The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain definitely qualifies as a light novel title.

I was able to recognize a few more right. It seems that the AI has the grammar and sentence structure and elements down, but is unable to recognize the tropes that these titles are referring to. The shorter titles work well because there’s only 1 maybe two light-novel premise elements in the title, and it’s a lot easier to find one-word premise elements that can mix and match than when you start to get to the longer titles which explain a single concept using several elements while the AI is throwing together random elements. For example, the sister vampire one, there was a single concept being described, that of a powerful vampire desiring a little sister, everything else is just dressing like “plenty of service will be provided” tells me there’s likely to be a lot of fanservice, but isn’t irrelevant to the plot. Meanwhile “demon knight” is not a trope. It could be in the future, and that title I could see being real but right now the japanese trope of demon does not include the idea of them being knights, at least not noteworthy individuals. A demon knight sounds like a mid-rung character, given basic characterization only to be killed off a chapter later. If it were demon lord then I doubt the novel would have rung any bells in my head. Also Gravitation War, what does that mean? And what would that war have to do with raising mobs? There’s no underlying groundwork done in the Light Novel community to establish what a Gravitation War might be, and how that involves raising mobs. Until such a trope were established, this light novel title could not exist and do well.

"I'm Not gonna let the period swing me any more" -the Anime man, 2021, colorized

"i designed an AI that makes light novel titles, and tested it with my friends" sounds like a light novel title

Dragon Ball: Everyone's Dead So I'm Going To Summon The Dragon Naruto: My Campaign To Be Ninja President One Piece: I Want To Be Free So I'm Off To Become A Pirate Bleach: I've Become A Ghost So I'm Going To Kill The Dead Jojos: Someone Please Save Me! I Dont Know Whats Going On Anymore!

I feel like this didn't go far enough. I would love a GPT-3 version that's not just the title but also the synopsis

These three gel so well together, they should do a podcast or some shit.

Akihiko voice “IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS”

13:46 the epic man stopping himself from laughing by drinking.

I read the manga version of "Camp Cooking in Another world with my Absurb Skill" and I love it. Just a comfy and funny show of a guy with unique skill that is mostly used in cooking/eating. Also, the JP title is almost the same as Englist.

All these titles are actually real. Some of them just haven't been written yet.

Ah yes, my favorite youtubers CdawgVirginia GiggUnitedKingdom TheAnimeManchester

The index one is a crossover of all the author's works. The title is a mash up of all his series. Index, Heavy object, Zashiki Warashi of the intellectual village, simple survey, killer princess, and Waltraute's marriage. And yes it is as insane as it sounds.

"I designed an A.I that would make fake light novel titles... in another world!" Also, after watching this episode and the last, I was wondering why Joey and Conner's titles were so on point. As it turns out, GPT-2 will also look for related social media articles as part of its training. Since it was fed a lot of LN titles, there's a good chance Joey and Conner came up a bit, which could be why it got part of Joey's full name and associated Conner with being a gamer and dick.

This video has been certified with a Turtle Badge Of Approval ✨🍉

I love how Joey is putting so much effort in this. He made this video enjoyable, all Connor did was say "this doesn't make any sense" lol

I really want to see more of garnt than gigguk , he felt like a completely different person after I watched trash taste and then saw his channel , there should be segments in his videos where he is just improvising and not reading a script to make it look more real.

Joey: So this is either real or fake! Me: Yeah... that’s the whole point haha

This is literally a Turing test. The fact that more than once neither Connor nor Joey got the answer right is really scary...

"I was born as a demon knight but I am your maid" sounds like a very bad explanation of Black Butler

"this part is throwing me off" "But that's the most legit part!"

Please guys, just make this a series, consistently having each guy in the group getting a week with the bot tuning and creating the best and most real titles along with named ones. I could see this being an amazing series and even having a fake award show at the end of the year where we vote on RU-vid for the best of each month for the categories

8:07 How Connor came up with that sample light novel title in an absurdly quick speed really awed me

I'm using this video to find new LN recommendations.

28:06 just noticed pole dancing rias and senko on the top shelf

5:29 Joey: Where Does The Plot Go?! Me: *Laughs In Restaurant To Another World*

"To be fair, you need an IQ of 189 to understand anime light novel titles." - Nux Taku, probably

25:50 Joey finds himself in an isekai where indecent exposure is punished with death unfortunately he was transported while showering and is now naked in the middle of a town

19:39 I'm just saying, Gravitation War Chronicle sounds like a fucking banger sci-fi/mecha franchise

Alt. title: “Garnt laughs maniacally for 28 minutes straight”

Title: *appears* Garnt: still not a real name or person Gigguk: act normal and drink to not laugh

We need to have this AI for public use.

"There's no mistakes" Master oogway *WAS LAUGHING AT THE BACKGROUND WHEN SAID THAT*

"That sounds like not real English " he says not really speaking English

Wouldn't "The Unwanted Virginity of a Genius" just be another name for "How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno." ?

I watched that other video and was like "bruh did Garnt give up after 2 titles wtf?", glad he had a full to upload!

Garnt’s poker face when they’re explaining their thought proccess, and hes not trying to give it away

i would like to point out, homestuck made this joke years ago, where the civilization has been around for soooo long that the titles for all entertainments were _at least_ a paragraph long lmao

I'm 90% sure that the index title is just commonly called something like "Index zashiwara" or some bullshit like that.

Loved both of these videos mate❣️🤩 We need more of such collabs🙏🏼🔥🤘🏼

Awesome, I was waiting for this video

Me: "Wait why does the title say 'ft. TheAnimeMan & CDawgVA', they always host Trash Taste together" Me 1 min later: "Oh this isnt Trash Taste"

This video was clicked but the turtle was too fast

When I saw the Picture of the video, I thought Terminator is getting a anime. GOD DAMMIT I WANT T-800 IN ANIME STYLE

Why does the 2nd part sounds like something from Novel Updates (where you can find fan translations of light novel and web novels of jp, cn, etc.) lol

Gigguk's Dilemma: Garnt Still Isn't Recognised As A Real Name?!

I still hate the fact that I’ve read more than one of the real LNs from this before
