Also:
Yuukyuu no Tsubasa (Game opening) -> Eternal Feather. It could easily be translated into several other things, but I believe that it's the generally accepted translation. Of course, these all came after the game was named "ef", so we'll probably never know why it was called "ef" in the first place. It's also the sequel to ab - A Tale of Beginnings, and cd - A Tale of the End. |

I love these two anime but I have to admit Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Fist of the North Star couldn't sound any more cheesier if you watched them eating a cheese pizza. Candy Boy and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS are misnomers because the former is yuri and the latter isn't about Nanoha anymore.
Tiger and Bunny also sounded pretty cheesy; it turned out to be as cheesy as I expected when I watched it. Not that it's a bad thing though. Edit: I almost forgot about Bleach. Did Kubo ever explain the meaning of the title or was he just smoking something strong when he thought of it?

The worst of all "Legend of" titles has to be The Legend of the Legendary Heroes. That's about as comically redundant as it gets. Its original title of Densetsu no Yusha no Densetsu is redundant too but it has kind of a cool symmetry to it.

Clannad.
In fairness, its short and easy to pronounce. Those are its positives. Its negative is that the name tells you absolutely nothing about the show. I don't know if "Clannad" is even a proper word, in English or Japanese. This wouldn't bother me at all, except Clannad is a very good anime that deserves a name that jumps out at you more, imo.

Too bad this thread came out back in 2008. Nowadays, you can just insert the "This Show Has a Title Way Too Long to be of Any Use" of choice.

Air refers to some significant things in the plot of the series but going into specifics would probably be a spoiler. Key's titles may seem random but they tend to have meaning. |

Fate/stay Night. There's probably a reason for that title, but it just sounds weird and confusing.
Also, not a title, but the extra thing tacked on Symphogear's title card: Meteoroid falling, burning and disappear then... Swansong of the Valkyries sounds friggin epic, though, so at least the main title is alright. |
