BT The P: I think Genshiken may be a special case, if I'm not mistaken. I thought Genshiken was the official show title, and that it's named after the portmanteau abbreviation for the fictional club it portrays.

Sukeban: *checks sources* Susan Davis, it is Matantei Loki (魔探偵ロキ), not Meitantei (名探偵). It's a pun and the "ma" means "demon".

mimichan3:I know for a fact Prince of Tennis is Po T or Teni Puri.Not to mention Gravitation is Gravi.
