    Thank you

    That's what Google is for, no? With a quite high percentage of the population (judging by anime names) being involved at least to a degree with Anime or Japanese context (unless they only watch butchered dubs ofc), I still believe it would be appropriate. They can make very clear references to silly series (that do not fit the setting either) and yet leaving an original reference seems to be impossible.

    Anyway, you can bash me as much as you like, I stand thinking it should have stayed "Senpai". Goes to the pile of "stupid things done in the ENglish version" along with things like "Fire/Ice 1-4" instead of the originals (fire, fira, firaga etc.).

    Add: I give them the credit that it is not as bad as the German names for the titles, though!
