I would like to change Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou to Demon King Daimao but it will not let me.

There are others like Kuroshitsuji that should be Black Butler that should also be changed.

As you want something to be changed, you have to give valid sources for your request.

Does this work?

Demon King Daimao
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_King_Daimao
http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Daimao-Comp ... B004SGWYWE

Black Butler
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Butler
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Butler-Seas ... B00477VLXM

The English speaking world does not use the Japanese pronunciation when talking about the series they use the English translation of it.

Those aren't valid sources, but you do have a valid request. :p For anime we use the English title in the following order:

1. Japanese-English Title: This is where the title is already in english when released in Japan and overrules a translated or renamed for english release title.
2. Official English Title: This is where the anime has been packaged for sale or airing in english speaking countries and is used most of the time.
3. Translated English Title: This can be either a common or sometimes literal english translation of the japanese title as listed on ANN or MAL. (both of which ARE valid sources)

The Japanese titles are usually then added as aliases to prevent duplicates from being added.
If none of the above versions of an English title are available we then default to the romanized Japanese name.

Hope this helps. ^_^

Demon King Daimao...

Black Butler...
http://www.funimation.com/black-butler (Licensed by: FUNimation Entertainment)
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=10160

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann should just be Gurren Lagann also. Only IMDB says Tengen Toppa which is wrong. IMDB should not be considered a valid source for anime less than wiki in my opinion...

http://www.bandai-ent.com/Bandai_Entert ... agann.html (Licensed by: Bandai Entertainment)

Satisfied yet? Need more sources? :P These are about as valid of a source as it gets.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the original Japanese name, so we'll just leave it as is per my guidelines. Changing it to Gurren Lagan which isn't more English than it was to begin with is pointless. Also next time link to the series as well so I don't have to search for them... big red box at the top mentions this btw as well as the need for the sources I requested.

I understand this is an old thread, but with it being licensed now will you still leave it on tvdb as the Japanese title Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou?

Thanks!

Actually that one got overlooked due to the OP being a twat and not listing proper sources. :)
That said, next time make a new thread please..
