Now it's been 17 summers since I've seen my mother

But every night I see her smile inside my dreams

First, a crosspost from the Star Wars thread: a [url=http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?
Off the top of my head, here's a short list where I recursively translate the Chinese titles back into English the best I can):
Chrono Trigger -> Wheel of Time
Final Fantasy -> Space Warriors
Gone With the Wind -> Wartime Lovers
Hellsing -> Stranger on a Hellish Night
Metal Gear -> Legendary Commando Spy
Rurouni Kenshin -> Itinerant Godly Sword
Slayers -> Screwed-Up Magician

My friend had ordered the entire Giant Robo series on horribly bootlegged VHS from some kind of zine back in the day and she got back a series of tapes titled GAINT ROBOT that had mind bending subtitles. It's still my favorite take on the series.
