I prefer Casshern.
I think that it gives the English speaker a better chance to get close to what I imagine is the proper pronunciation.
Although, Johnny Cashman is quite tempting! |

Yeah, translating Japanese to English often can't be an exact science due to the extreme differences in the languages. Plus there are a couple different methods of translating the Japanese characters into romaji (Japanese words spelt out using the Roman alphabet), so there's always a possibility of spelling differences. Plus sometimes an anime/manga/toy company etc. comes up with their own way of spelling a character's name in English, which just adds to the fun.
Look at a lot of the robot names: Combattler/Combattra, Mazinger/Mazinga, Grendizer/Grandizer, Raydeen/Reideen, Ryger/Liger, etc. Which is "correct"? Depends on who you ask.  |
