Sorry, so sorry.  You know I didn't mean it.

I like purple and green too, does that help?

Thanks, Miyabi. Are you sure Dilaf is デイラフ (deirafu) and not ディラフ (dirafu)? Also, the one girl's name is just Shaor, so the transliteration fits fine.

Man, all this katakana is making me want to whip out my Japanese book from 3 years ago....

Let me get this right....katakana is syllabic, and kanji is in pictures?

Hiragana ひらがな and katakana カタカナ are phonetic or syllabic.

Kanji 漢字 is ideographic, each symbol stands for an idea or word.

Maybe I'm just being wapanese but for some reason I love how エラントリス sounds.

I really like their depiction of Hrathen.

Thanks for the pics.

Just type them the same way you type Japanese anywhere else. It doesn't work for you?

Maybe Shaggy means how you type Japanese symbols in the first place.

There are ways to type Japanese phonetically using normal roman letters. Look up "Japanese input method" or "Japanese IME"—how to enable it is different depending on your operating system.
