Boundless Melodrama! Over-the-Top Anime Titles for Your Fic!!

[Negrek]

So @Persephone was mentioning weird anime episode titles recently on the Discord, and I was reminded of @Chibi Pika's old anime titles thread on Serebii. Fun thread, let's bring it back!

Rename your fanfic's chapter titles in the style of an over-the-top shonen anime! You can see some examples here, but mostly you just need to lean into the cheese and the exclamation points. A pretty good formula is Super-excited statement or question!! Actual topic of the chapter?!

For my main chapterfic (not posted here yet), here are some upcoming chapters:

Chapter 37: Search for Haganeil! Have courage, hero!!
Chapter 38: Myuutsuu's anger! Goodbye Nate?!
Chapter 39: A stunning confession! Vs Kyō!

Anime movie titles can also be fun for one-shots. Super dramatic description of main character: main character's name. For the one-shot I posted recently, I like Genius Master of the Two Worlds: N

Because I'm a boring dumbass, I should know over exaggerated chapters are very common in anime aimed at children or middle schoolers, older demographics get more normal chapter/episode titles.

Party pooping out of the way, sadly I only have ONE chapter of my new story out but...since they're not gonna be the real chapter titles I guess I can do something special and tease the first few chapters even if they arent' done yet.

Chapter 1: The Little Crow Takes Flight!
Chapter 2: Keita meets Miguel, a Fateful Encounter
Chapter 3: The Princess of Lago Arrives at the Scene
Chapter 4: Shocking development! Danger on the move
Chapter 5: Team Up! A Race Against Time Starts
Chapter 6: Fiera's Burning Will, Team Murkrow's Last stand
