Holy shit.

It does not. Stop thinking with an English/American accent when "Katawa Shoujo" is clearly not intended to be pronounced that way.

I am not well versed in the pronunciation of moonrunes, how do I say this? Ka-ta-wah Show-jyo?

i thought it was like
Ka-ta-wah Show-u-jo or something O.o

I think Roy-Kr might be confusing rhyme and scansion.

Maybe you should bone up on actual Japanese pronunciation before accusing other people of cultural ignorance.

Well, this game is being made by people who grew up outside of Japan for the most part, and is being hyped up by a -ton- of people here in the states. Best get used to our inferior 'murican speech patterns.

Just interested... How did you think it was pronounced?

i think shoujo as shaw-jaw would sound the closest if we're going to use english as the pronunciation base. however this is irrelevant. It also depends hugely on how you choose to pronounce bro, example being it comes a lot closer if someone chooses to say it as "brah"

Uh... no.
The "yo" from "yogurt" comes closer. Not an exact match but close enough.

May I attempt to redirect this thread back on track and request Fonzie to be shopped into OP's pic?
