Talk:Twin Princess of Wonder Planet

Topic split suggestion

I think we should somehow clean up this page, and maybe make a separate Wikipedia page for Gyu! It's because Gyu! takes place in a completely different environment than the first series does, and all of the new characters that appear may be confusing. --User:Justicebullet 22:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Gyu! It drinks and "ふしぎ星" is being written "Wonder Planet" in Shi Leeds. --Naohiro19 08:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what you're trying to say here... 71.146.70.29 07:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Bring Info Over from the Japanese Version

Hey! I just found more information on the Japanese Version. However, I'm not too good in Japanese... and it would be nice if it was translated to English. Starcity ai 22:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Released in English?

Added a citation tag because I have never heard of Futago Hime being licensed for English speakers. I have not come upon a valid document saying such a thing. 71.146.70.29 07:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Futago Hime is not licensed yet. It has only made it to Korea and Taiwan (with speculation that it has gone to China). I have heard NO major news from large US/European anime dubbers that they have licensed Futago Hime.Starcity ai 08:03, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Rain or Rein?

It is quite irritating to see her name spelled that way. I know that literal Romanization of レイン is Rein. But when other main character names in the series are based on meteorological terms e.g. Fine, Bright, Shade/Eclipse, Milky (way), doesn't it make more sense to spell it as "Rain"?

Also, what is written in the list of characters doesn't make sense either:

“ Rein's name was originally going to be spelled as "Rain" in English, but was changed when director Junichi Sato did not want her name to be related to the weather rain. ”

As I said, all of those character names are already based on weather terms. Also, her color is BLUE - the color of water/rain/stormy weather - why not use Rain then?

Also, look at the music section:

Those are referenced from Anime News Network, which uses Rain throughout the entry. So, which name are we going to use again? -- DTRY (talk) 14:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Episode Titles again

Much like my complaint on the Hime-chan's Ribbon page, why do the titles for the series Honobono is subtitling only go as far as where Honobono has subbed? This is especially jarring considering that all of the episode titles for Gyu! are listed. Raekuul, bringer of Tropes (He does it without notability) 12:30, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Fushigiboshi no Futagohime → Twin Princess of Wonder Planet – The manga was licensed in English by Chuang Yi under the title Twin Princess of Wonder Planet. lullabying (talk) 03:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Your typical reader will not recognize this title. Unless there's past precedent for using Singaporean titles? —Xezbeth (talk) 10:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Yes, but this name was also used on TV Tokyo's official English website in the past. lullabying (talk) 05:11, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per Xezbeth - This anime is really only known by its current romaji name (Fushigiboshi no Futagohime), except for the "The Twin Princesses of the Mysterious Star" translation that's sometimes used online. Moving it to proposed name will make the article even harder to find. Rctgamer3 (talk) 02:01, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Fushigiboshi no Futagohime → Twin Princess of Wonder Planet – I would like to revisit a rename discussion I opened last year. The series is internationally known as "Twin Princess (of Wonder Planet)" and it should be renamed as such, especially per WP:USEENGLISH and WP:COMMONNAME. The title has been consistently used in international publications, thus WP:OFFICIALNAMES doesn't apply.

• The manga was released in English under the title "Twin Princess of Wonder Planet" by Chuang Yi (another example: Flunk Punk Rumble also uses the Chuang Yi title instead of "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan"). Not acknowledging these titles despite being an English Wikipedia is a form of systemic bias, as English is one of Singapore's official languages.
• Nihon Ad Systems's English website lists the title as "Twin Princess of Wonder Planet", thus it is officially recognized as the English title.
• Google Search: "Futagohime" gives 252,000 results; "Twin Princess of Wonder Planet" gives 9,440,000 results. lullabying (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Newslinger talk 09:23, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Oppose per WP:UCRN, also; WP:MOS-AM.

“ Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria listed above. When there is no single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources, editors should reach a consensus as to which title is best by considering these criteria directly. ”

As far as I know, nobody knows it by that obscure manga title, though it does at the minimum warrant an acknowledgement in the article. Also, Google search: No it doesn't, you're completely wrong (Filter bubble, perhaps?) "Twin Princess of Wonder Planet" shows 12,000 results, "Fushigiboshi no Futagohime" shows 389,000 results. On first glance, I could not find any third-party sources or articles referencing either name due to the age of this anime and dead references. Rctgamer3 (talk) 21:47, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

"Nobody?" What about the people who live in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries who got the manga in English? By that logic, why is Flunk Punk Rumble the title used instead of "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan"? lullabying (talk) 21:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

No idea, as there's zero talk/consensus on Wikipedia on that title. From a quick glance, "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan" seems to be the most-common name, named in in various sources as well. Rctgamer3 (talk) 22:22, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

• Support per detailed nomination with convincing links as well as appeal to WP:USEENGLISH and WP:COMMONNAME. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:24, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Per Roman Spinner and nom. The English title is simply easier to recognize. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 13:47, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
