I should hope so, as Dorohedoro is the official English title and anyone saying anything other than Dorohedoro would be incorrect.

I was Toby until the third grade. Then I became Zack. It is truly uncomplicated.

If it had to be "one book," then ONWARDS TOWARDS OUR NOBLE DEATHS by Shigeru Mizuki But for the better version, the four-volume SHOWA: A HISTORY OF JAPAN. Anyone even remotely interested in the Pacific theater of WWII should have read that series by now.

My Eternal Mission and Message: 1) Mizuki Shigeru is one of the greatest artists to ever work in comics 2) Shonen Knife is one of the greatest bands ever 3) Midnight Diner is one of the best TV shows of all time If you learn those three things, I will have done my job.

Azumanga Daioh is ALSO the official English name. To say anything else would be incorrect.

What are you talking about? Nichijou IS the official English-language title. How can you claim to be a fan of the series and not know that?

200

Factually incorrect. Jujutsu Kaisen is the official English language title. Using anything other than the official English title earns you a swirlie.

Nope. That is not how "engaging" with another culture works. That is called "Orientalism." There is an entire book on the subject. Give it a read.

Facts. If you use the True Names of anime, they will corrupt you into becoming... this...

073

Sure, because Jujutsu Kaisen and KonoSuba are what they are officially called in English. Calling it anything other than its official English title would be silly buggers.

I actually think High and Low is a better English title. There are SO many films called "Heaven and Hell" in English that another one essentially disappeares. Calling it High and Low gives it's own distinct identity.

The point of language is to transmit information. In my head, I say "Shinya Shokudo." That is the title of my favorite TV show. But when I am speaking English? I saw MIDNIGHT DINER. Because I actually want people to enjoy the conversation and watch the show.

This is excellent advice, particularly about the books by Zack Davisson. I wrote THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO JAPANESE YOKAI for exactly this reason. It is a one-volume reference for anyone watching anime, playing games, etc... and wants to know "What the hell is that weird thing?" link.amazon/B06nbtR7A

Whether they have done a good job of it or not is another question, but clearly the Busiek/Ross MARVELS should be their flagship.

We didn't really become Gen X until I was already in high school. Whenever Douglas Coupland wrote his book and properly named us.

2101

Telling younger friends I felt sorry their generation names were nothing but riffs off Gen X, but it takes awhile for these names to be settled. Gen X went through a few before we were Gen X Doomers (A riff off of Boomers, because we were doomed to die in nuclear war) Latchkey Kids MTV Generation

I am so excited for the return of one of the greatest TV shows of all time--MIDNIGHT DINER!
