When it comes to any of the storytelling art, may it be books, series, movies, songs - names and titles are the most elementary part of them . And, when we anime watchers who don't know any Japanese, add an anime to our "to watch list" from reading its title after checking out the genre and the plot, only to finish the entire series and think "why was it even named after that?" It gets really mysterious (Nah who am I kidding? Frustrating! ) We are sharing you a list of the names of those anime.. Ranking will be very much appreciated and Suggestions will be wholeheartedly welcomed !

This anime is a simple Shojo anime. When you read the name it feels as if the protagonists had a connection with some ride in the amusement park which was called Blue Spring Ride! So, I watched it with so many feels and emotions but this is what turns out! They hardly ever even went to any amusement park! So, I just didn’t understand what was going on, later I noticed this! In Japanese “Ao” means Blue, “Haru” means Spring and Ride is an English word, so of course the literal meaning would be Blue Spring Ride, right? Here comes the twist, the name was originally "Aoharu" not "Ao" and "Haru" individually, and the Japanese meaning of "Aoharu" is adolescence, so now it makes more sense. Because this was pretty much anime about some adolescents!
