The first thing I thought with this list's title was Tiger & Bunny. By the title alone I would've never watched the show because I believed it was some fanservice-y show about cat and bunnygirls, I had to read summaries about it to consider trying it out

Clearly you have never been to the official Starchild JP homepage ( http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/mo-retsu/top.html ) or watched the PVs that came out before Sentai picked it up. Hell, it's been in the logo of the series ever since Startchild opened the official JP page. It had nothing to do with Sentai, the choice of translation was entirely a JP choice. |

What, you expect people to know what they are talking about before spouting off? |

you should realize that a lot of people initially avoided the show because they thought it was an incest show, and not a parody. and kirino is an excellent parody of bword tsundares. |

Not just at the end, It's apparent that Sakura can communicate to anything that's lonely or large bodies of water from quite early on. |

Ok, not my problem that people can't do basic research, or are too terrified by a FREAKING TITLE to even try a show. |

That question was actually answered in a Q&A with Kubo. He said (Forgive me, I'm paraphrasing from memory) he wanted to have a title that was the opposite of "black," but thought that "white" was too obvious and bland, so for some reason he transitioned from there to something that makes things white; i.e. bleach. It didn't make any more sense to me then than it does now, but there you go. I realize this list was almost exclusively anime, but given that the Zombie-Loan entry made mention of its manga origin, I'm surprised The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer didn't make the cut. Now I grant you, I only skimmed the first chapter and lost interest, but the title itself was so bizarre to me I couldn't fathom how it corresponded at all to the series. Other honorable mentions that, as far as I know, lack a straightforward explanation for their titles (Please note I'm not trying to be belittling of the series. Many of them I enjoy, I just find their names weird or ridiculous): Boogiepop Phantom Elfen Lied S-Cry-Ed Saint Tail Melty Blood Hanaukyo Maid Team La Verite |

SAO as a live action would be in the Twilight genre. That is, get horrible actors, have zero script, and push tweeny love and lust and rank in the millions from idiots that go to see it lol. Dog days? Lol, that has to be the worst piece of crap ever made. I have no clue how anyone could watch season 1 of that junk, let alone a whole new season lol. Zombie loans title isnt misleading, unless your some idiot that think the manga or anime would be about actually renting the undead lol.

The best part is the majority of bleach fan boys/gals don't even know that fact of why he named Bleach (bleach) lol. |

Oo, that does make a lot of sense now. Thanks.
It's named after the poem Elfenlied. I haven't seen the anime in a long time or read the manga, but apparently there's a scene where someone sings the poem.
Wait...what? Hanaukyo (the MC) has a Team of Maids. And the La Verite (the truth) deals with Mariel. The name makes perfect sense and isn't misleading at all. |

My favorite cat girl Taruto(MAGICAL MEOW MEOW TARUTO) isn't on the voting list--though there's a possibility that she's an actual cat who's just portrayed as a cat girl.

They'd charge an arm and a leg. (Oy! No throwing tomatoes! Someone had to say it.) Someone expecting Brigadoon would be really confused by Brigadoon... And I really hope nobody expected Wordsworth if they stumbled across Words Worth. Then again, someone expecting something like the latter might find a show called Stay Night a bit lacking... |
