lol I like how they made Denpa Onna Psychoelectric Girl, so why did they change "Seishun Otoko" so much?? Unless there's another pun I'm missing.
Another dumb English only title, Mangagamer's
Higurashi When They Cry. It'd be fine to either keep it
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Or change the whole thing to
When the Cicadas Cry. Or just change it to
When They Cry to keep it open to the later Koro ni titles. Or just call it
Higurashi, because god knows the only people who would dare buy their translation already know the games by just Higurashi. Instead they make the stupid decision to half translate it, then write it in this poopoo Englishy way.
Higurashi When They Cry?? No colon?? Why? And who is "They" in that phrase?? Even
When the Higurashi Cry would be better, though it would still suck.
Either translate the whole thing, or don't translate anything and just transliterate it. There's a difference between preserving untranslatable language differences and being lazy. Don't do that.
