Why does the page default to "Needy Streamer Overload" when the original title is "NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE" ? The game name was changed to avoid issues on Steam but there's no localized name for the anime (yet) kind of jumping the gun there

Normally, localizations of stuff like titles are consistent across mediums through contracts and such. Shingeki no Kyojin is always localized as Attack on Titan for example. And to this day whenever G Gundam shows up in a videogame like Super Robot Wars, the official translations use the dub localizations like Dark Gundam or Burning Gundam

And in this case Aniplex USA decided to use the original JP title for their trailers

VA of the MC sounds suspiciously familiar like a certain senchou.

It's been concluded for a while that it's spoiler[Sally Amaki], but I love their commitment to not crediting her and leaving it as just "Choutenchan"

ANN reached out to Aniplex, who confirmed that the anime is using the Needy Girl Overdose title going forward, so ANN will also be using that title.
