Arslan Senki / / Heroic Legend of Arislan is an anime series that started in 1991, based on serial novels by Yoshiki Tanaka. I finally got my hands on the whole manga series... Look for updates in the manga section soon/

As in all anime series, in Arislan there are many discrepancies when it comes to character's names, from the dubbed version to the original, and even from the official romaji to the actual phonetics of the real Japanese names. Taking for example, our young Prince / hero, he is referred to as Arislan, Arslan, Arslaan, Arusuran (...) to name a few. It is the same for his multi-named protector, Dariun, Darun, Dariuhn, Daryoon...

To get this all straight (and logical), I arbitrarily chose the 'official' romaji spellings of the names throughout this site, and improvised my own for characters or places lacking those. I also cut off most long vowels because some names having more than three, the spelling becomes horrid. And in my opinion, obsessive accuracy is secondary to ease of reading.
