Hakase or Professor ?
I think since the anime is in Japanese, her name should translated and hold the original as a nickname ?

  Old Twilight Maxxis Talk?!?

→At the very least, "Hakase" could/should be kept where it says the name in Japanese name & romanized Japanese since that's exactly what it is, her name in Japanese. But I do think in general "Hakase" should be translated because it's a relatively common Japanese word easily translatable into a relatively common English word. If "Hakase" were a term unique to the series or awkward to translate I might think otherwise, but it's neither of those things. If nothing else, using "Hakase" over "Professor" has the potential to be needlessly confusing, possibly making people think it's her actual name when any Nichijou watcher / reader knows it isn't.

I think "Professor Shinonome" would be best. Not sure if this anime will ever get a licensed dub, but if there ever will be, I think they'll call her "Professor" in the dub as well. I'll change it if you guys agree with this. Excalibur777 19:02, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
