I've noticed an increase lately in people posting blank titles simply "guessing" when the next episode should be airing. (My sources don't list any date or title yet past episode 531 for Conan.) Conan tends to take breaks frequently lately; where's their proof these episodes will air after all?

Other times I've seen this occur is for new season titles. (If I remember right, I'd seen it on To Love-Ru and The Daughter of Twenty Faces two seasons ago.) Here are more current examples:
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10474&page=25 - Eden of the East
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10562&page=25 - K-ON!
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10216&page=25 - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10510&page=25 - Hanasakeru Seishounen
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10468&page=25 - 07-Ghost
animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10195&page=25 - Guin Saga

Anyone else irritated by this?

Hookah Haze Game Review

Sep 21, 12:00 games

I get it – the point isn't a challenge; it's vibes. And I must confess, Hookah Haze's vibes are impeccable. ― Not to sound judgmental, but some of y'all out there are really into the aesthetic of anime girls blowing clouds of smoke. If you number among them, I have good news! Hookah Haze is a game about watching anime girls exhale billowing clouds of smoke. Based on my social media feeds, that alone ...

Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Anime Film Review

anime

There's a reason that this is one of the series' most popular arcs and the film captures the story's essence expertly—even if a bit too much was left on the cutting room floor. ― One of the most interesting choices that came from adapting Overlord IV is that the series skipped an entire arc—two entire light novels worth of story. This left an odd gap between episodes seven and eight of that series—wh...

Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that stands on its own, but it has a rather shaky stance. ― Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that, to its credit, has a solid identity and visual aesthetic. A lot of comparisons have been drawn between it and Kingdom Hearts, and while they're not uncalled for, it's worth pointing out that about all Reynatis has in common with Kingdom Hearts is a teenaged prota...
