ok once again, don't flame me if this has been done, just PM me saying it was done, so i could delete the thread or ask a mod to do so or something.
i think these are pretty odd names:
Daa Daa Daa (and yes, it's after what a baby says 'da da!!!' LOL)
Princess Tutu (i'm thinking what you're thinking to.)
Real Bout High School (I don't knoe, but the grammar... i guess... i had to repeat it to myself several times before getting used to the fact it's title doesn't really make sense to me)
those are my top three. yours?

I My Me: Strawberry Eggs. I watched it before...but it has NOTHING to do with eggs or watever..
Pita Ten
Sister Princess-that doesn't make any sense...
bubblegum crisis
fruits basket-i kno it's a weird name, but it DOES have a meaning, it's the game! cause tohru got called the rice ball and stuff...anyways it's good..

it's not weird, but i don't get what it has to do with the story line
i'm talkin about Yu Yu Hakusho. The main character's name is Yusuke Urameshi so i see where the "Yu" comes from. maybe it means something in japanese, i wouldn't kno. if anyone knows, PM me

A lot of them are strange when compared to American comic, novel, television, or movie titles.
Most of these genres in America try to have a 'catchy' title, but most anime/manga will usually have a straight forward title (Love Hina, Cowboy Bebop, Great Teacher Onizuka).

well, since i can't PM you (just go to options and select the thingy that says something like 'allow members to private message you') i'll just have to post it here. i think yu yu hakasho means something like ghost files. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

you mean "Now and Then, Here and There"? I don't think it's that weird, I love that anime. My weirdest would have to be the same as lilangelgirl, "Strawberry Eggs" ...just strange.

there's... a anime called 'strawberry eggs'??? what were the creators thinking? maybe they were refering to Easter or something...

chobits isn't that weird... if you think about it... chobits is just about a perescome (sp?) that could think on it's own, and they call those chobits.
p.s. ur sig is kinda scary.

Yu Yu Hakusho means "Poltergiest Report." (Ghost Files is close enough, but I can smell an X-Files mockery) The fact that Yusuke had a similar letter ("yu") is probably a gag.

I always thought Neon Genisis Evangelion was a weird name and X also Fooly Cooly, Fruit Basket, Love Hina, and Bumbble gum crisis. I thought those were really weird O YA AND B@$T@RD was a really weird tittle

okay i know this might be old but its my first time in this thread. its called "furi kuri" by the way. the people at adult swim are so messed calling it "fooly cooly". wtf
okay, back to the topic. the weirdest names i have ever heard of was:
furi kuri
initial d (cuz i don't know what it stands for. :confused: )
.hack/sign or whatever
dragonball (since it has nothing to do with the balls themselves through the main story line and i don't care if i'm wrong)

Fooly Cooly is the weirdest anime I've ever seen. But it's also one of my favorites. I highly recommend it. It's also hilarious at times. OH Yeah and Fruits Basket is reaaally weird with all those names, like "Hyper strawberry switchblade". Kinda clever though, I like it.

11-16-2003, 10:43 PM
Ok, first off, Yu Yu Hakusho means Ghost Files I believe. And, the top 3 weirderst names are
1.Fooly Cooly (Furi Kuri), I mean not even the main character knows what the hell it's talking about.
2.Fruit Basket (wtf?)
3.Big O (Again, what the f*ck?)
Are we aloud to swear? and i know there are other weirder ones that I can't remember.

Bastard! I just think it has a weird name, though I haven't read the manga. I think it's kinda funny, and cool at the same time though.
what about one called BASTARD? haha I wanna see that one maybe there are bastards that fight in it...those bastards
It's actually very good, in my opinion, though only 6 episodes long.(Not Finished.) The person in my avatar, at the moment is Dark Schneider from it. Haha!! I love him cause he always seems to strip himself.. Yummy!

11-20-2003, 06:37 PM
Um, Yu Yu Hakusho means 'poltergeist report', or at least thats what its labled under in the everything manga guide book I bought... yes, I am that much of a fanatic.

at first Fruits Basket sounded weird, but when you watch the anime, it turnes out Fruits Basket is a game the main character Tohru played as a little girl. So it does actually have a meaning.... (it didn't till that was explained lol)
but I my me: strawberry eggs sounds weird O_o

1)boys over flowers(ahhh)
2)chobits(i have no idea)
3)love hina(wtf)
'chobits' is the name of the rumored persocoms, that are A.I. and dont have a OS. and since chii is a chobit, it does make sense. and as for love hina, the story is set at the Hinata Inn (most of the time) and its a love story. so there ya go.

Two little things I came across-
Blue Seed does make sense for the title since it has exactly that in it-Blue seeds shaped like 9s.
Furi Kuri is a wierd name to call an anime...especially once you find out what it means.
Icouldn't figure out if this was wierd names or animes so I'll go with the latter.
Furi Kuri is just a crazy anime.

There was one called Ping Pong Club or something like that. There was a manga I read once that had 'Fish' in the title and it had nothing to do with fish...
