This early in the article's life (and I've just found out that the
jbo.wikipedia does have a stub template, which I'll add) I haven't gotten
to write about the american/european releases yet, only the japanese

name Demon Castle Dracula - akumajou durakyura.

and it's hard to always understand them correctly.

The good thing is that it helps me (and others) to learn the rafsi. It's
nicer to speak and think, as well. What do others think?

Thanks for your comments.
