English and Japanese title

[kingot]

At least for those people who don't know the japanese counterpart of some english-titled animes (like me) or vice-versa, can we have both Eng and Jap Titles in the streaming list? So that the viewers won't be having a hard time finding what they're looking for..

I personally like this idea. I am even the one that suggest you to put it in here.

Anyway back to the topic, this idea is great but if what I recall on suggesting anime at the forum, they require the Japanese title. Let say that we can suggest that way and having on the streaming the alternative English title would be convenient as well.

I much prefer it that way, but we have a thread regarding about finding Animes with a Japanese title, this could help : http://otaku-streamers.com/community/showthread.php?7271-Useful-Searching-Tips

Yeah you can find that in the searching tips thread as Sora said >> Thanks to dab

also you can write the english name in the searching box in the streaming page and it will show you the anime ^.^ you dont have to write the japanese name in the search :) thanks to OS staff, just search for english name.

for example: search Detective Conan in the searching box and the thing will appear is: Meitantei Conan (this is Detective conan's japanese name) :) easy solution

This should be a helpful suggestion. Not many members here actually knows the original japanese titles for thier fav. anime series so alternating the titles in the list would be a bit beneficial. Though, they SHOULD know the original jap title if they are true otaku's. If not then they should look it up using google or Bing...LOL

snoozy19 is right. watching anime of your interest, you should research before you watch. this is not a wiki site.

I like it both way, plus it help me to know more Japanese words

[dab117]

Lol. As Sora and evil has mentioned, just search for the English names in the search bar and it will direct you to the anime regardless if it was named in Japanese in the OS database.

I know how this will be helpful to other members but You guys should start researching the Anime you were watching like Title and Plot before watching it.. Isn't that the obvious way of watching something?

like if you are watching a Film in the cinema, you will obviously look for the title and plot before paying for it and watching it.

Guys try using MAL[myanimelist], Google and ANN[Animenewsnetwork] when researching your anime. Also dont forget there is a Search button in OS.

I firmly disagree with this suggestion. No offense, kingot, but this suggestion negates certain responsibilities you have as a viewer. If you don't know the name of the title you're watching or want to watch, look it up. Google, Wikipedia, and Anime News Network are your friends so please use them. It only takes a few seconds to find out what the Japanese title is, and as others have pointed out, you don't actually even need to know what the Japanese title is to search for it on OS.

Besides, I highly doubt this suggestion has any chance of being approved considering how much work the staff must have gone through just recently to change so many of the titles from English to Japanese during the last site overhaul :/
