| Hey hey hey, what the heck gives? http://myanimelist.net/anime/3572/Macross_F You can't just call things whatever you want, you know. I don't care if they call it マクロスF in Japan. That's shorthand for the full title マクロスFRONTIER  It says it right on the art for it. Change it back. This is ridiculous. Considering MAL is rebranding titles in their own way, is there actually a reason they're doing this? Copyright? It would be the only reason I can think of for these petty changes (like removing the space between Gakkou and Gurashi to make it more "MALoriginal") |

Macross F is the formal inscription of the title, as exemplified in the movie posters. Frontier is a reading of F.  |

Syrup- said: arsonal said: please elaborate. To me it's informal.formal inscription Macross F is inscribed as マクロスＦ, as is the name of the production committee: マクロスＦ製作委員会.

Although 暮らし is read kurashi as a standalone word, the form gurashi indicates it is part of a compound word. Compound words are not separated in romanization (e.g. Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka, not Akane-iro or Akane Iro). kuuderes_shadow said: I thought it was standard practice to use the reading for the series title? eg. Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance rather than Seirei Tsukai no Kenbu There is a difference between furigana on common kanji and non-Japanese characters. For example, Hidan no Aria AA is intended to be read as Hidan no Aria Double A, but the title is never written as such. |
| Makes sense. Thanks. |
