Addenum: The title is a problem Yen Press can't get away with. They have now taken the shortcut by ditching the main title. This is passable with "Forbidden Scrollery". But what happens if there is a second season of Touhou Suzunaan? Will, say, "Touhou Suzunaan ~ Books of Paradise." become "Forbidden Scrollery 2: Books of Paradise"? What happens when they need to do Touhou Sangetsusei? Their subtitles are gibberish that's never going to pass in the English market. At minimum, if they are to only localize VFiS, they'd need to make it "Visionary Fairies in the Shrine", and it'd still not be a very marketable name. |

Looking forward to the terminology we're familiar with getting butchered lol |

Or they could just ditch the subtitle there and also call the hypothetical next season "Books of Paradise." We've already referred to the games and printworks just by the english subtitles for just about for every work so far, including the works with multiple seasons (see: Bougetsushou and Sangetsusei, which are almost never referred to with those, just by the subwork's subtitle in question.) so I'm not terribly surprised here they've chosen to only go for the subtitle here. Hisoutensoku is an exception but it's also unlikely to ever get over here so it can be safely ignored. I don't really see this as a shortcut here, most fans already either don't care or don't know about the main title and just use the subtitle exclusively. And yes, some of the subtitles are nonsense, but I don't imagine they have any intention of marketing this stuff to anyone who's not already a fan or would be bothered by slightly nonsensical titles. Or even if anything besides FS will find its way over, licensing issues being what they are. i wonder if they intend on keeping or removing all the erant us in the series (examples: shou ---> sho, akyuu --> akyu). http://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/moe-harukawa/forbidden-scrollery-vol-1/9780316511896/?yen also cool seems it's on their site as well now, just no press release yet. |

So I don't think anyone would care that much. |
