Basically, most of these animes are light novel adaptations and the market for then in Japan is extremely saturated. So by making the title as descriptive as possible, there is a chance that it will catch someone's attention as opposed to having a nondescript title.

Can't believe Homestuck predicted this trend

Homestuck was excellent at satirizing internet pop culture. It was unfortunate also excellent at attracting a fan base that was blind to satire.

Porn titles are like this too, and the retail store Don Quixote does this for their products and it's hilarious.
