Anime title that suits it's story!!

While reviewing a thread on Bleach topic, some doubts came to me.

I was just wondering, how many animes that has the Title differ from the story. Many says, 'Bleach' coz not many people know what the title has to do with shinigamis and hollow killing.

Anime that can exactly describe it's genre:

Slam Dunk - all about basketball
Prince of Tennis - obviously Tennis
Hikaru no Go - All about go and one more, abt a spirit who loves 'Go'

Yu Yu Hakusho - initally translated as 'Spiritual Blank Book'. At first I thought that this story would turns out to be something like a soul taker, recording people's bad deeds into a so called 'Spiritual Blank Book' and then forward the book to Enma Diao for him to make judgement on them ~_~

Eto, please lemme know your opinion. Which anime title do you think that protraits the story the best and which don't.

Naruto : Story based around a kid named naruto
Ragnarok the Animation : Ragnarok...The Animated Version
Full Metal Alchemist : An alchemist who was given the title of Full Metal.

However, Full Metal Panic...maybe it's just me, but i can't see too much of a resemblance to storyline apart from the fact the AS's are made of metal lol...

@xaige
he's a wanderer not a wonderer^^

anywho, i like Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon= new
Genesis= beginning
Evangelion= those biotechnological robots

I think it means that they could artificially create a new beginning with the use of the Evas--- which was more clearly shown in End of Evangelion ^^

It's also nice because it's a very religion-based title, ne?

Cowboy Bebop fits pretty well, because they are bounty hunters, which are kinda like cowboys.
And bebop kinda describes some of the music.

@MsTree
Here's the interesting part, the experiments are being done on Lain, but Lain is unconciously doing expermients on the existance around her, including those who are performing experiments on her, so it could be called Lain's Serial Experiments.

Pretty much all anime titles suit their stories. Why would they call it
something that is wasn't about? FLCL is another story, however...
