Fullmetal Alchemist
| I think it sounds cooler and it is technically the real name of the series. With the addition of the English names in the banner and the Future toggle between japanese and Englsih names, I think this could be done. What do you think? |

| Yeah I would support that, I always found it weird that this show has the English name, while Shingekin no Kyojin uses the Japanese name. |
| It should stay FMAB as default, but they should give the users the option to change between the English names and the Japanese ones on the titles in the settings. |

xJublex said: It doesn't matter, both titles find the same anime in the search bar. No one searches for Koukaku Kidoutai or Sento Chihiro no Kamikakushi but thats the name they primarily use for Ghost in the Shell and Spirited Away, if all the titles are in japanese then it only makes sense for FMAs to be the same.Why? Just because it sounds better? I think most people just search for FMAB and not for Hagane no Renkinjutsushi. Why going through the trouble just for a cooler name But i do agree with @Rider9530, they should give you the choice to choose between the titles like anilist does.

Oh, that's great!!! i hope they will release it soon. |
| If I see the title changed to Hagane no Renkinjutsushi I'll be utterly confused by what it even is. |
 |
| Nope, nobody knows the japanese title for FMA. Bad idea. |
| No, it's way easier to remember Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood than Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, plus nearly all of us on MAL aren't Japanese, so why should we use the Japanese version instead of English? |
| Probably so there is more consistency. Almost every anime uses the Japanese name as the primary name so it would make sense. Yes almost everyone knows it as FMAB but other anime have the primary name as the Japanese name when almost everyone knows it by the English name. |

Just like "Saikano" for Saishû Heiki Kanôjo and so on... I guess the oldheads will know in some cases, I'm personally a relatively new fan of FMA, didn't know about it until 2015? But all the friends that I talk with that are into anime probably haven't even heard the title Hagaren yet. I'll be sure to remember it though, nerd flex. |
| Well, as far as I'm concerned, this is basically the only anime not following the MAL protocol with names for whatever reason. "Because people are used to it" is no excuse for inconsistency, the name should be changed, this remake's current name is non-existent in Japan anyway. |

| Another member talked about it with an administrator and here's his answer: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1824702&show=30#msg59136821 |
| Yes I think it's better to use Hagaren bcs most anime in MAL uses it's the original japanese title, so why is this anime the only exception? |

| It feels like MAL is playing favoritism here, like "this is the ONE special exception" They should use the JP title. |
