But the file data you suggested, It can not be done without parsing whole anidb. And website parsing is not something wanted. Btw we are not working online, all the data is (auto complete boxes) are cached on local.

No, why would you need to parse the whole site? If you're already parsing through AniDB like
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl...ag=1#grouplist when Naruto Shippudden Movie is tagged, then only one page to parse through is needed. Also, the full group name is given in the anchor tag's title... Easy.
you only need to grab the abbreviations and display it there... People will actually have to go on AniDB to know what they stand for (a link is feasible)...
I don't think writing that function will be so difficult... (And I actually think that AniDB should have a screenshot comparison system available there... if they can provide such high bw's)
