Kuroshitsuji au Black Butler

I have always wondered which one people prefer. The english title au the Japanese title?

for instance with Kuroshitsuji why do we have to go with the lit translation 'Black Butler' why can't it just be it's original Japanese one 'Kuroshitsuji' it sounds cooler

so what do wewe think?

I guess it sounds better, and I respect the original Japanese name. It's cool ^^

I use bother intermittently.

Most Americans slaughter the pronounciation of Kuroshitsuji kwa pronouncing it too slowly & enunciating certain syllables too slowly.

I's & Us are almost silent in Japanese unless the word begins au ends with them.

Correct = K'roh-sh'ts'jih.
Incorrect = Kew-row-sheet-sew-jee.

I also like Funimation's "one hell of a butler" better than "a demon & a butler," because it's a less awkward response.

@likalaruku dude Sebastian says a demon and a butler because he is trying to use something that won't give it away right away but still tell them in a way, and ya know wewe don't have to say "amaricans slaughter the pronounciation"

I like kuroshitsuji better, and lol everytime someone calls it black butler in real life I freak out, I agree it sounds a lot baridi and also I HATE the English version of the anime because of the voices so that's part of why I don't like the English name

I like both ways.

I use black butler zaidi only because I forget how to spell kuroshitsuji most of the time.

Other than that, it doesn't matter which title is used.

I think the connotation of Kuroshitsuji suits Sebastian better than that of Black Butler. It sounds zaidi elegant and graceful.

I use both, and I'm careful of which I use because "Kuroshitsuji" isn't automatically recognized kwa many fans, since many won't know the Japanese name (saying from experience), much like when I say "Furuba" as opposed to "Fruits Basket" because "Furuba" is the shortening of the Japanese title and is a maarufu fanterm for the show.

But whether I say Black Butler au Kuroshitsuji, it does not save any time au space typing XD

Eh,I've always referred to the anime as Kuroshitsuji..I find it zaidi respectful to call it that and I've only seen the anime in Japanese so that's also a reason for me. and it's better sounding in my opinion.

I'm fine with both... I don't see anything bad from it...
why is it called Black Butler?

"Kuroshitsuji"

Kuro means black
Shitsuji means butler

so yeah... wewe have Black Butler... it's just the same really... they just translated it.

I go back and forth. When I talk to people that know nothing about anime I say Black Butler but when I talk to my Marafiki who read and watch it I say Kuroshitsuji.
