Okay so in the manga Lilina's name was written Lilina in the translated version! But in the translation of the anime it's Ririna? Which one is it... I recently noticed MAL change Lilina's name to Ririna in the character thingy! So now I'm thinking is it actually suppose to be Ririna!

Okay yes I know the L and R sounds in Japanese are like a mixture of the two. Also that R takes precedents, but since Lilina's father was half German, it could be an L?

I'm also just salty at Amazon and this whole animestrike™ thing. So I'm less inclined to believe them. Ugggg
I'm just confused and maybe it doesn't matter but I don't like seeing some people in the forums saying Riri and other Lili... idk why it's stupid

If you didn't pick up on it I think it's Lilina and Amazon is [racist and stupid (that's a joke :|)] since I read the manga first... but what others opinion....

Please reply or enter the poll... please

Well, my impression in the show is that they pronounce it more like Ririna. So I'll stick with that.

The answer is that it doesn't matter. You already know that it's neither L nor R and since it's a japanese series you could call her whatever you want.. or pronounce it like how the japanese does it

Let's stick to Hepburn transcription. Ririna all the way. Especially that her name is written in kanji. I don't see any reason for using Lilina.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

It's 莉々奈 in kanji, not even written with kana (々is is symbol for repeating kanji if anyone's curious). 莉 is jasmine.
And she's japanese, only 1/4 german.

So it's Ririna. No need to spell it differently (although japanese pronounciation of R is somewhere between R and L they actually differentiate between those letters, mainly when reading foreign words).
