Meaning of anime titles(or at least ones that actually have a meaning) in their original, literal translation, not the americanized version.
Of course some anime have titles that hav nothing to do with the show(example: naruto)(no order):

Shakugan no shana: Shana of the burning eyes

Naruto: it's in ramen and has a spiral, that's all there really is to it

Higurashi no naku koro ni: when the higurashi(a type of cicada) cries(makes their very obnoxious mating call,
which strangly enough I feel a bit nostalgic in the fall)

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro chan: Dokuro Chan the "death by blunt object" angel, by "death by blunt object" it means dokuro-chan is killing people with blunt objects. I don't know a word for "death by blunt object", I'm sure there is. But I have no clue how to find it.



Of course theres much much more(think the whole index on crunchyroll). But I think of this more as a starter for other people to start off of anyways.
