Someone in the AnimeOnDVD forums brought up an interesting point that the titles given might have been due to miscommunication. The name change "Shadow Warrior Chronicles" might go with another of ADV's licensed title Shin Angyo Onishi which by the way makes A LOT more sense because it feature a male protagonist that can summon shadow warriors.
The other title in question is "Blade of the Phantom Mask", and you know that fits Utawarerumono rather well. In short, hold off your bitching because ANN might have screwed up. |

About the name change, Hakuoro - as we have seen when he asks 'who am i, what am i?" and the beast images only glimpsed, I would say the new name is good. Sure hope The DvDs from them are in WIDESCREEN MODE. god forbid they chop, crop, and stretch the chars off the screen, (causes top of head/hats to be missing) and things to look like ultra junk. anyway cant wait to see it.

Guys, before you get freaked out about the name-changing, keep in mind that I found it on 2chan and only on 2chan. It's probably reckless speculation at most.
"Blade of the Phantom Mask" is an upgrade and a half from "Shadow Warrior Chronicles," but I'm still not completely onboard. |

I wouldn't take these rumored names seriously at all. It was probably someone joking on 2chan about them changing the names to bad ones. For one thing, ADV has kept names similar in series like FMP, where there are some Japanese names. Also, another thing to note about the names, must of them do not contain the same amount of syllables. Eruuruu to Edna is one less, as is the case with Karura to Karla, Kamyu to Keith, well, Keith is a male name (lol), and Hakauro to Harry sure doesn't fit, either, so I wouldn't worry about these mock up names, probably made up in jest. I don't think they will even change up names.

I agree with Angelsama that in the end it is just a name of a show that in 2 years, none of us will think much about (disposable society), but since I'm buying the show when ADV releases it, I'd rather have it named "Blade of the Phantom Mask". Of course, that name makes me think of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083366/ , but I’m not sure why. |

Unless ANN screwed up twice. It is largely fan contributed material.

I have no problems pronouncing Utawarerumono on it's own or in a Japanese sentence, but when I try to put it in an English sentence, it's a bit of a tounge twister. Sometimes when speaking in English, I shorten it to UtaMono.
For some reason, "Shadow Warrior Chroncles" reminds me of how Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was initially renamed as "Warriors of the Wind" or something like that. |
