Anime News Network - Tactics (TV)
In the course of trying to track down how many episodes tactics is (I suspect 26), I ran across this:
Anime News Network - Tactics (TV): "The series title is in English to cover a pun: the Japanese word for 'wizardry', of the kind practiced by Ichinomiya Kantarou, is 'senjutsu' (仙術). The homonymous 'senjutsu' (戦術) means 'tactics'. In fact, it could be argued that there is a third pun in Kantarou's writing career: 'senjutsu' (撰述) means 'compiling, editing, writing'."
I always thought Tactics was a wierd name.

what do u sense?! ;)
I would say that it conflicted with what I thought tactics were. In a crisis situation, there was no particular coordination.
Looking at what Google things (Google Search: define:tactics), I would say that strictly speaking, the definition is met.
I couldn't see how they chose Tactics, until I saw that it was also a play on words.
