    Er, is there a reason this movie and Spirited Away were renamed? I was under the impression that English-based site = English media names...

      Editing … Shouldn't priority go to the most well known names?

      Editing … Pretty self explanatory term Shige. Whatever name the users of the site know best has got to be the one to use.

      Editing … So, you define "most well known names" based on Favsland users? And not on Americans or english-speakers or people worldwide or … And how do you know what they know? It's not that self-explanatory, Rich.

      Editing … I figured the goal's got to be using names the audience of the site'll recognise so that pages are easy to find and list. That's got to be more important than the original Japanese name of something that our audience wouldn't recognise. And I'm just suggesting a guideline here, if you don't know about something go with the name that gets more results on google or ask a fan/let them make the page I guess.
