thats because 死神 means death and god.....which sounds cooler too.
In a monotheistic culture, using a term like "death god' is only bound to confuse people (nevermind the fact that the shinigami aren't "gods" in the first place).

And "Soul Reaper" is the official translation in Japan.

BTW, taelmx, you might want to edit your posts before a mod sees them. You shouldn't discuss downloads of licensed anime.


Anyway, thumbs up from me!
