Tag move: "dangan_ronpa"/"super_dangan_ronpa_2" to "danganronpa"/"super_danganronpa_2"

Posted under Tags

Really dumb, have no idea as to the proper channels for this, etc.

I'm not sure where "Dangan Ronpa" ever came from. It's never been written with a space in any official material, and even the new localization uses "Danganronpa".

I think you need to take a closer look at that PSP cover, or else start adding some !. The logo for the sequel may make it a little clearer: http://lpix.org/941639/008-title.png

That early album (which also uses "ORIGINALSOUNDTRACK", whatever that may mean to you) is probably the only official material its on, and that is negated by the given tracklist anyway.

He never stated they were correct and all you asked was where it came from and claimed that no official material wrote it that way, which his two links clearly prove that there is official material that did write it that way and suggest a possible source for why our tag ended up that way.

As for your attempts at come backs, yes the original cover has it written out as in both split and non-split form. Also the album cover says "ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK" if you look at the full size image of it (http://www.game-ost.com/static/covers_soundtracks/3961_118736.jpg) .

The sequel's full cover art to directly compare with the original's (cover art is for the regular edition of the sequel): http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18hg129u8he5ejpg/original.jpg

Of other note, the official US release's website (http://nisamerica.com/games/danganronpa/) the page's title is "Dangan Ronpa" despite the logo spelling it one word. NIS' press release (http://www.nisamerica.com/pressreleases/Dangan_pressrelease_20130706pb.pdf) does confirm it being one word, but they very specifically write it out as "DanganRonpa" and not "Danganronpa."

The first link doesn't actually write it that way. That would be background art that is also used for things like...

SUPER
DAN
GAN
RONPA

...and so on.

I don't know about come backs, but... the second link (which doesn't use "DANGANRONPA" anywhere except in the tracklist, and "ORIGINALSOUNDTRACK" is also in that tracklist... again, whatever that may mean to you, since it clearly means something), and nearly everything else you've mentioned on it, are just sad examples of inconsistency against all odds. Keep in mind this goes beyond simple logos and is all over the actual OST releases, and likely the actual games themselves. On the other hand, "DanganRonpa" is good, I wouldn't be surprised if it is supposed to be that, and I'm curious as to what the final US product is going to use, which is generally going to trump a website.

Titles are hard. Titles are harder when 10 of them are being used at any given time. The powers that be are still being morons, but fortunately it's clear what we can do here.

i'm not going to join the fray as i might spoil myself in this discussion (hopefully not as i follow this series). anyway, is it possible to refile this under the tags category instead of general? thanks.

Done. This thread is now filed under the Tags category.

Let's summarize:

The original title is ダンガンロンパ, which is a combination of the two words 弾丸 (dangan) and 論破 (ronpa), written in katakana.

The Something Awful Let's Play calls it "Dangan Ronpa". Since this translation seems to have started back in 2011, it may be where the space originally came from.

The anime (ANN, MAL ) seems to be called "Danganronpa".

Project Zetsubou recently released their translation, using "Danganronpa".

The official press release uses "DanganRonpa".

Wikipedia uses "Danganronpa".

I fixed it like 5 minutes after he asked unless someone reverted it.

Didn't you change it to the "Bugs & Suggestions" category instead? It should be in Tags.

There's asahina_aoi_(real_bout_high_school), but that character only has a single five-year-old post.

I vote for removing the qualifier from the asahina_aoi from dangan_ronpa.

Did this.

As for the title, it looks like there's more evidence in favor of danganronpa.
create alias dangan_ronpa -> danganronpa
create alias dangan-ronpa -> danganronpa
create alias super_dangan_ronpa_2 -> super_danganronpa_2
create alias super_dangan-ronpa_2 -> super_danganronpa_2
create alias dangan_ronpa_2 -> super_danganronpa_2
create alias dangan-ronpa_2 -> super_danganronpa_2

Did:
create alias dangan_ronpa/zero -> danganronpa/zero
create alias monomi_(dangan_ronpa) -> monomi_(danganronpa)
create alias monomi_(dangan_ronpa)_(cosplay) -> monomi_(danganronpa)_(cosplay)

create implication danganronpa_1 -> danganronpa
create implication super_danganronpa_2 -> danganronpa
create implication danganronpa/zero -> danganronpa
