Just Because It's Correct Doesn't Mean It's Right

ANSWER: GHOST IN THE SHELL

Author: Ethan Ordentlich

The solver is presented with a Crunchyroll queue, showing the anime title, an episode number, and a screenshot of the anime. The anime is correct, but the episode number does not correspond to the episode from which the screenshot was taken. Indexing the incorrect episode number into the titles yields NOT RIGHT NUMBERS, indicating that solvers need to find the correct episode numbers. Doing so and indexing the corrected episode number into the title reveals the answer, GHOST IN THE SHELL.
