For some reason there exist weebs who refuse to use english titles for the purpose of confusing everyone reading their comments. It's like the idiots talking about pokemon saying "satoshi" when literally no one saw subbed pokemon before the dub of "Ash"

Not sure what the comparison is they not even the same genre. You could easily have said Naruto is better, with your username. Or even Black Clover. Which it is, lately I much prefer BC to MHA the latter is very underwhelming really. I started reading JJK this week and in less than 10 chapters it's already more interesting than MHA ever was.

Maybe cause it's like a billion years old

As someone who has watched thousands if not dozens of anime, Boku no Hero Academia vastly exceeds the quality of Pacifiku Rin. It really highlights the difference between western and nihon philosophies. The eastern sages were able to take the overdone concept of superheroes and transform it into a new and innovative genre, while when American pigs stole Japanese culture to make PR, they wound up with essentially a self parody.

I have never seen the show and am still aware BNHA is Boku no Hero Academia.

Do people also dislike I prefer Shingeki no Kyojin over Attack on Titan, or Yamato over Star Blazers? (That last one being an understatement. I absolutely despise the Starblazers title)

or Yamato over Star Blazers?

That's sort of a different situation. For one thing, it's a not a direct translation, and for another, the English version isn't just a direct dubbed version of the original, but has been edited into something different. So arguably "Star Blazers" and "Yamato" aren't even entirely the same thing.

It's the same reason why I would argue that "Gatchaman", "Battle of the Planets", and "G-Force" are all technically different things. As are "Space Sheriff Shaider" and "VR Troopers". And I'm not even remotely going to get into "Robotech".

Though to pull it back to the original point, do you call it "Space Battleship Yamato"? Or do you call it "Uchu Senkan Yamato"? Because one of those things is acceptable, and the other is probably going to get you made fun of.

Generally speaking, if there is a direct translation name for something in your own native language, the standard accepted usage is the translation name, and only hipsters, pretentious tools, culture nerds, and weirdos are going to use the native title. Unless you're a critic of some kind, or are otherwise providing the original name for academic/scholarly/informational purposes, you should probably stick to the alternative title that fits your own language.

Which is why I've also never seen "Taiyo no Ko Esuteban" or "Les Mysterieuses Cites d'Or", but I've seen "The Mysterious Cities of Gold". Same for "Meiken Jori" ("Belle and Sebastian") and "Le Pacte des Loups" ("Brotherhood of the Wolf").

In the same vein, kids who watched anime on TV in the US in the 90s were watching Dragonball Z, Ronin Warriors, and Sailor Moon, not Doragon Boru Zetto, Yoroiden Samurai Torupa, and Bishjo Senshi Sera Mun.

That's sort of a different situation of its own as well.

When you retcon something like 8 years later, people will be annoyed. When you retcon something from one of the most popular video games of all time 8 years later, people are going to tell you to fuck off. Same reason so many people still call bullshit on Greedo shooting first (or both shooting simultaneously. Or Maclunky).

People who like to claim "Oh, it was always Aerith, it was just mistranslated originally" are basically full of shit, because the actual Japanese is Earisu, which easily sounds more like Aeris than Aerith.

It wasn't until Kingdom Hearts that Square decided they didn't like that version of her name because it kind of lost the originally intended meaning of "Cloud and Earth" (which they poorly Romanized into Japanese in the first place), but by that point a lot of FFVII fans had stopped giving a shit what Square had to say about anything anyway.

Maybe for the original series. The modern reboot also uses Star Blazers, even the English language SRWV refers to it as Star Blazers.

As are "Space Sheriff Shaider" and "VR Troopers".

I have only seen VR Troopers on tv here (under that title), only seen a bit of actual Metal Heroe shows.

Pretty sure the second u is long, does that suffice as an answer?

No idea if it was ever released here and under what title. "Ruimte Gevechtsschip Yamato" does sound better than "Sterren Rokers".
And yes, I tend to refer to Ahiru no Kuwakku as Alfred J. Kwak and say Geragera Bsu Monogatari as Boes.
