Name translation
editWhy is it "gurashi" rather than "kurashi"? Cesiumfrog (talk) 21:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- See Rendaku, basically, sometimes an unvoiced consonant changes to a voiced one in Japanese compounds. Siawase (talk) 06:24, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Movie #2 title?
editA while ago Imagineer Co. released two new mobile games promoting the second movie and it managed to find its way into the US, which I find a little silly because I don’t remember San-X planning to release it outside of Japan.
I tried one of these apps, the “Block Puzzle” (which plays like that DSiWare game Doodle Fit except with typical F2P features), and I instantly came across a kinda-official translation of the movie title, which is “The Little Wizard in the Blue Moonlight”. I was going to change the movie’s current unofficial English title to this but I didn’t want to spark an edit war, which is why I decided to bring this up here.
So what do you think?
(P.S. Start the game, go to the button that says “Gacha”, and you’ll find it.) BR20 DaCrazy (talk) 01:51, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- The production studio Fanworks (animation studio) has an information page in English using the same title "Sumikkogurashi: The Little Wizard in the Blue Moonlight"[1] and it also appears to be used in Singapore [2].
- And similarly, Fanworks also has an English page listing the title of the first movie as "Sumikkogurashi: Good to be in the corner" [3]
- It might be a good idea to also include more literal translations of the Japanese movie titles in this article though, since, especially in case of the first one, the meaning differs quite a bit from these apparently official English titles. Siawase (talk) 06:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
"Life in the Corner"
editCoincidentally, this would also be an appropriate name for a show about a chess rook. Kosburrat (talk) 03:23, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
New Sumikko gurashi character
