Suzuki-sensei, I don't know who taught you about English naming conventions, but I want to bash them over the head. Repeatedly. I've dealt with your bullshit before, but this is ridiculousSomeone else mess with it. I can't make any more sense of them ( Read more... )

I'm... pretty sure he's a gamer, or that he gets a lot of his name ideas from video games. Some of them, like システィー, also popped up as the name of a company in Hyogo.

I don't know, I think it's nice when there aren't 53 variations of "Ann" in the cast list. ;)

"Snandey" ... I wonder if it's supposed to be Hindi? It would be shocking to see a multi-cultural America, though. ;)

Oh, Holly. I feared it. Any place that can name their man male character "Joy" can't worry about sinking any lower. *grins*

Well I see you made at least a little more sense out of it, although I maintain that Giles is not pronounced the same way as "guile"...

I thought about that, with names like "Keelay" etc. If it did happen, I would give Suzuki-sensei some of his cool points back. ;P

And they did it TWICE. *hangs head*

(P.S. So someone added the 2010 special to all the troupe performance pages... Would you agree that it shouldn't be there?)

I agree, but sometimes they seem to think that that last consonant sound isn;t really necessary. I googgled and found a bunch of different ways that people were katakanizing it, so.....

Have you been following the thread in the TakaWiki editors forum? I'm afraid I got outvoted on this, but I refuse to pick up th extra work, so I'm ignoring it.

Ah hah. Editor's forum? Me? Ever? I don't know why I'm so allergic to the forums, but I pretty much ignore them if I'm not specifically asked about something.

I suppose there's no point in saying what *I* would have voted, unless... can we ask for a re-count? T____T;;;

I recommend reading the forum, at least if you don't want things to get decided without your input. XD

Given that no one has gone back and really done all the work to make the five troupe lists up-to-date, I think it would be fair to change the decision, if you can convince people to. (Please!!! *sigh*)
