Should we use the Japanese name or English name for the anime/manga series in the boards?

Example,
Cardcaptor Sakura or Kādokyaputā Sakura
Cowboy Bebop or Kaubōi Bibappu
Death Note or Desu Nōto
Fruits Basket or Furūtsu Basuketto

Not a great idea, unless you plan to list both the versions i.e. English and Japanese.....

A fan with no/very little knowledge of Japanese would have a hard time finding the right threads..........

Well thats what I think anyway......

Ur right Kyo, eng names are better.

But u can use Rurouni Kenshin instead of Samurai X or Yu Yu Hakusho instead of Ghost Fighter.

But the names u've given? no way dude!!!

Feedbacks have been noted and we will stick with the conventional naming format.
