    1) Uncouth young man, there is no need to be so rude.

    --Lots of people romanize it as Aruruw, not just Static-Subs (Who I've never heard of)

    The official romantization is Aruru. There's NEVER been a visible "W" in a Japanese name.

    I can't find an official romanization.

    On the other hand, I have seen Aruruw enough times that I know it's not a typo.

    Ah, I just remembered from a similar argument... Something about it being Ainu.

    Apparently the romanization of Aruru's name fills otaku with vitriol.

    As zalas also explained on their forums: http://forums.animesuki.com/archive/index.php/t-31627.html

    "I guess we should've put in an explanation on the website or something. Basically, Utawarerumono has heavy Ainu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people) influences. The people in Tusukur's village all dress in Ainu-ish garb. Their village is situated on the northeastern part of the continent, whereas the Ainu are currently situated on the northeastern part of Japan. The names used have an Ainu flair to them, including ????, ???? and ?????. The Japanese word for the sung vocal traditions of the legends of the Ainu people are called ???????, though that is not the only interpretation of the title. Thus, considering all these Ainu influences, it seems appropriate to use their romanization system to bring forth the exotic quality that comes with it. Hence, Aruruw and Eruruw are romanized according to the official Ainu romanization system. The Ainugo Jiten (Ainu dictionary) published by Sanseido was used to determine the proper way to romanize Ainu (and in this case, the Ainu-ish language used by the people in Utawarerumono). To be a bit more specific, Aruruw is essentially 3 syllables in Ainugo: A ru ruw. The 'ruw' is the r consonant sound, followed by the u vowel sound and then ending with a consonant sound of w. Oh, and fun trivia fact, Tusukur means "sorcerer"/"magician" in Ainugo."

    That much is fine, but the site for Uwataremono at one point DID POST IT AS ARURU without the W when doing some art off side.

    Sure, in AINU it might be right with the W, but in this case is is simply ARURU.

    And next, we're going to see Makotox and Sakuraz because that's how you spell then in the long-forgotten dialect language of foobar!
    Sometimes it's good to be an fanboy going out looking for facts beyond what is really needed, and sometimes it's about as anal and gay as having a chili powdered sledgehammer jammed sideways up your ass.

    This is a case of the later.

    I don't care about the name at all, but vocal idiots tend to annoy me. In case you haven't noticed (and most probably you haven't, and are arguing about things you can't even read), it's written right there on the pic:

    アルルゥ = A-RU-RUu

    In other news, Ainu is not Japanese.

    Still a good thread. If people weren't whining about the different romanizations, they wouldn't know about the Ainu thing.

    Official romanisation... like how we romanise back the engrish names which are frequent in anime? :P Needless to say, Japanese studios get the foreign names wrong a lot more than getting them right, and just romanising off a wrong name doesn't make it right. Either way, it's just a simple character in the name, do we really need to fuss over this?
