MAL has the title displayed as Boogiepop wa Warawanai in keeping with MAL's romanji titles, but the thing is, it's not Boogiepop wa Warawanai, it's Boogiepop wa Warawanai: Boogiepop Phantom. below, you can see my photos of the official Japanese scenario books and the UK blu ray release where the titles are clearly displayed as Boogiepop wa Warawanai: Boogiepop Phantom. even Wikipedia has its title displayed correctly. correcting the title would make sense because it would further differentiate Phantom from the 2019 series: people often think 2019 is a reboot of Phantom and the incorrect titles on MAL don't help.

Yes, the title should include "Boogiepop Phantom".

Yeah , MAL forgot the subtitle in some old entries.
Kara no Kyoukai is in a similar case.

You can ask mods to change it in this thread.

It's not new tho , it was already the case years ago.
She's talking in this thread about the Japanese title , which should also includes Boogiepop Phantom as a subtitle.

Yes, but there wasn't even "Boogiepop Phantom" as English title recently, which it is why I edited my post before your reply: Finally "Boogiepop Phantom" included at least as a main English title

That's odd , i'm 100% sure it was , and for years.
Actually , even the Japanese title was "Boogiepop Phantom" prior the release of the 2019 Anime.

Edit : Here it is , from 5 months ago : WayBack Machine
You can go back up to 2013 : WayBack Machine

Several other anime have 2 titles on their respective covers, and the database treats them the same way it treats Boogiepop. Are you sure this needs to be changed?

Shingeki no Kyojin: Attack on Titan
My Hero Academia: Boku no Hero Academia
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. My youth romantic comedy is wrong as expected.

The guidelines says so tho :
III.1 Main Title
MAL's romanization of the official title, including subtitles.

And there is entries such as Yosuga no Sora : In Solitude Where We Are Least Alone.
The Kara no Kyoukai Novel and Manga also includes the "The Garden of Sinners" subtitle.
