What a strange looking thing I just saw (megaman image). Well ignoring that, as someone completely unable to speak Japanese (Chinese and Korean as well for that matter) my pronunciation spoken aloud or mentally is likely to be way of for many names I come across. Though it is likely better for Japanese after watching so much anime.

Point being, I’m usually saying the names wrong anyway, so makes little difference which you go for in that respect. I think it’s like when I watched anime, a popular example would DBZ, which I originally watched in English dub, so that became my accepted version and true voice. Another would be Naruto, after years of watching the fansub versions, those Crunchyroll ones didn’t half make me squirm.

So basically you tend to accept the first version you see, small changes like I think
it was the ‘r’ and ‘l'(not pronounced or didn’t exist can’t remember the reason anymore) are easy enough to accept. Kurowaal and Kurowa~ru not as glaring a change as Croix/Croire. Guess I’ll get used to it with time though since I have no intention of stopping reading for such a stupid reason.

Hmm yea, that pronunciation misses the last part of the katakana of kurowa~ru. Hmm Croire then, I guess.

Actually, check out this here:

The same katakana used there, so I shall go with that. 🙂

Wow.. Thanks man..!!?

After hearing the pronunciation, I’ve decided I prefer Kurowaal.
