Talk:Super Dimension Fortress Macross II: Lovers, Again
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Title of this show
Please note that this particular show does not follow the convention used for all of the other Macross shows. As the box cover shown on the page very clearly shows, the title is "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: Lovers Again" (or "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie"). Please do not move this title again. --nihon 17:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, the current US DVD cover doesn't say the first title. The current US DVD cover has an abbreviated title (no "The," "Lovers," or "Again"). The full title, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross II: Lovers, Again, follows the previous convention and is written on previous LD and DVD releases, including this one:

- It's similar to the reason why The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? is listed in Wikipedia under that full title instead of the abbreviated "Super Spacefortress Macross", "Superdimensional Fortress Macross" or "Macross: Do You Remember Love?"—the names written on several other official releases. — Egan Loo 04:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

- That's the Japanese release, not the US release. Using the Japanese DVD cover does nothing to support your point. If you look at the US cover, it clearly says "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II: The Movie", so if anything, that title should be used if you want to be a stickler about it. Endlessly reverting everything I do is just plain stupid. Here's the link to the US cover:

- Keep in mind that the full original title of The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? doesn't appear on the US releases either, so by that tenuous line of thinking above, one would also insist that the title of that Wikipedia entry be reduced to "Super Spacefortress Macross" or "Macross: Clash of the Bionoids" (as several English covers "clearly say").

- On a side note, "The Movie" is just a title add-on to indicate the US compilation--it wasn't used previous to this, and is no more part of the original title than the recent "Indiana Jones and the" Raiders of Lost Ark: "Chapter 24" release. We should be aiming for the full original title, not the later abbreviated or adapted titles. Egan Loo 11:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
