Blame the light novel industry in Japan. They basically took the synopsis on the back of books and put it in the title in order to get people’s attention.
The Dragon Ball franchise was mostly a snorefest. Endless fillers. Extremely slow plot progress. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug isn’t it. Even DBZ, which was cherry picked here. And that extends to pretty much everything on that list. As much as I like some of them, I would never be able to sit down and give them my full attention for all their episodes. FMA mayyybe being the exception here.
Those are two different genres. Most shounen series still have simpler titles. Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Chainsaw Man, My Hero Academia, Promised Neverland, etc. Ones with long titles tend to be comedy, shoujo, or ecchi.
The long ones (that basically spoil the plot in the title itself) are mostly isekai, made to distinguish themselves from each other in the oversaturated isekai light novel/manga market. Probably 90% of all long anime titles are from the isekai genre alone.
I considered that at first but there are a lot of long title series that don’t fall under the isekai umbrella, while the isekais that fall under the shounen umbrella tend to still have the shorter titles.
It just so happens that most isekai fall under the shoujo/ecchi/comedy umbrella, hence the large amount of overlap. So while there’s definitely an association, I wouldn’t necessarily consider it an isekai thing specifically.
I’ve heard this has to do with how light novels are marketed in Japan. Where having a title that accurately describes the content is desirable. But maybe it’s become more of a meme now.
Being a hentai actress must be so weird. Imagine this: you’re in a soundproof room pleasurably screaming into an 800,000¥ microphone about how much you love old man dick at 10:47 AM on a Tuesday in October while your 45-year-old boss oversees you through a glass window from the other room. You eventually look up after 2 hours of practicing your unnaturally high-pitched moans and see him give you a big thumbs up as you pretend to have an orgasm.

By the fan nickname, the series sounds cool. What’s the full title? :^)
