Title

[edit]

wp: "Dino Adventure Jurassic Tripper (恐竜冒険記ジュラトリッパー, Kyouryuu Boukenki Jura Torippā)"
At en.wikti it's 恐竜~kyōryū (not "kyouryuu") and doesn't 記~ki mean something like report (WWWJDIC: "記 【き】 [...] account; history; chronicle; annals; record; (n)") and thus shouldn't the title translation be incomplete? --Yodonothav (talk) 04:29, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"uu" and "ou" are the literal transcriptions of what is oftentimes written as "ū" and "ō", respectively. So ultimately, both are correct, one is just more literal [that is more important if one wants to translate romaji back to kana, however]. I personally prefer the long variants because they are more accurate, but it is a matter of taste really.
The translation of the title is listed like this on Anime News Network and MyAnimeList. I am not proficient at Japanese. However, it appears a more close translation might be "dinosaur adventure report/chronicle jurassic tripper". --Yurilein (talk) 17:01, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
