No Need For Tenchi

Moving on! Time to put on my Answerman hat once again and get crackin'.

I was wondering about fan input on editing of titles. I know at times fans have had an input into how a series is edited, but is there a way for someone to say, "hey, maybe this title change you guys came up with... isn't so great. Some very recent examples I can think of are the name change of isn't too far off base from the original translation. A synonym here, a word substitution there, and bingo. Just because it sounds like a rather dull yet fanciful title for a relatively dark series about teenage detectives running afoul of drug rings doesn't make it any less accurate.

As far as registering your distaste! You're more than welcome to, absolutely. Representatives from and Section23 just went on a tear one day and had an internal contest to come up with the dumbest names possible. There's a lot of back-and-forth that goes into things like a title change, which is something I've discussed before in regards to the manga industry, where it happens more frequently than it does in anime. Long story short, there are business concerns with so-called "casual consumers" when it comes to folks just staring at the title on the spine of a DVD cover, or browsing the title through Netflix or under the pretense that everyone absolutely needs - in the same way people need water, food and access to a restroom - to be able watch episodes of their favorite shows within a 24-hour window of the Japanese release, regardless of their region and regardless of the business decisions being made by the companies that pay to produce the content. Speaking of which, hey! Bleach is now "doesn't translate the attack names correctly" or the fact that they're not in HD, or that they don't have stupid karaoke font, or whatever.
