Hm...I was curious, so I'm wondering:

By your knowledge, what anime/manga has the longest name?

-To make it a little easier, how about one in Japanese and one in English?

Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito

OK, so it's most likely not the longest name ever, but there are a lot of syllabols in it and there's no rhythm, so every word sounds completely isolated from the next.  Root seems to have a problem like that.  Their most famous series, Kao no nai Tsuki, isn't as long, but it's also a chore to say.

I don't know what the longest one is, but I bet the shortest one is "Y's". :lol:
...anyway, I'll go with "Legendz: The Legend of Dragon Kings".

It's Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu.

But when you see it over here, it only consists of two words.

Hale+Guu.

Its probably going to be a movie of a series.

Probably a movie of a specific season of a series.

Probably a movie of a specific season of a series, with a subtitle.

Its probably Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S Sailor 9 Senshi Shuuketsu! Black-Dream-Hole no Kiseki XD

Theres also Naruto: Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Shinobu Houjou Datte Bayo! (Naruto: A Rank Mission! Protect the Snow Princess!)

and Gekijyouban Naruto Daigekitotsu! Maboroshi no Chiteiiseki Dattebayo! (Naruto the Movie: The Great Clash! The Phantom Ruins in the Depths of the Earth)

And, if you'll allow me to cheat a little bit, I can kinda sorta make one up, and then we get Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Movie - Death and Rebirth

Its easy! Just add the series name and "the movie" to the title! XD

Its not a "real" word, so I wouldnt say there is a "correct" way. But he does tend to say it as one word, so I would venture to say dattebayo is "correct."

It is the accepted spelling, in any case.

For those of you who are wondering, theyre different in my post because I copy/pasted those from a website =P

I used to think "Hagane no Renkinjutsushi" was long... but then I watched Yami to Boshi to Hon no Tabibito. It's been posted before, and it's possibly NOT the longest... but it's the only one I can think of. XD;

This is why most people shorten these types of titles to like... "YamiBou". When you see an anime that has a shortened name like that, it just might be a long title. x3

Yeah, most of the ones I can think of are the ones that're shortened to about two syllables--Kareshi Kanojyo no Jijou and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e and whatnot. Certainly not as long as some that have been posted here, but rather unwieldy nonetheless. *laugh*
