Looks okay I guess. Personally, I'm looking forward to the Ufotable version but this could work.

Should the sword names be inverted like this? They're historical sword names, not named like humans are (in fact the swordsmith/lineage name often comes second).

Just seems like another one of those cash grabs off of a large fanbase that the industry really loves doing these days since it's kind of given up on creating it's own content or really just can't and have it be anything even remotely good anymore. At least it looks relatively inoffensive for one of those.

They shouldn't but I doubt ANN editors neither know or care about it. It's one of those things where localizing the Japanese culture doesn't work, but welp, they have a scheme they go by and they'll follow it even if it's wrong!

"editors neither know nor care" if we're being snarky about minor sh** that could just as easily be human error.

Seriously, way to sound like a judgmental brat. ANN's staff works their asses off to be accurate and fast with their news and translations. And there could be any number of reasons why they ordered the names that way (contact with series developers specifically saying this is how the names will be treated, or again--maybe it's just a mistake *gasp*) Rolling Eyes

Well, it's all corrected now so I'm not complaining anymore. Thank you ANN for proving that you care, I already assumed you didn't since you didn't fix it in a previous post.

And hey, sometimes sounding like a brat will motivate people to "prove you wrong" so I don't mind being the bad cop if they fix their info. Cheers!
