Zettai Boei Leviatan. Something wrong with that name?

The rest of the English-speaking Internet seems to know this as Zettai Boei Leviatan, or also Zettai Bōei Leviathan. Typing any variation of those into MAL's search gives us nothing. If Google hadn't suggested the additional "u" in Boei, I wouldn't have found this page here. Maybe that better reflects the Hepburn spelling, but it makes for a frustrating game of hide-and-seek. Is there a way it can be cross-referenced?

If you type "bouei" into google translator you get "defense".
For "boei" it gives you "el pot".

There's one reason for you.

If the show was known in English as "Happy Bunnies Light Up the Night" then it would be good to have it xrefed here under that title, regardless of how inaccurate the translation might be. I assume the goal is for MAL to be useful to the world, not an amen corner for purists to rant about how their transliterations are "the right one."

It turns out half the Spring titles I'm watching are hard to find here on MAL because of this. Maybe if they let us plebes edit the "alternate titles" section I could help out.

You can request alternative titles and other things that you can't change on the anime entry itself in the Anime DB - Post Modification Requests thread.
In this case someone has already requested it here so it will probably be added soon to the entry.

For other database related questions/problems please see here.
