to um actually myself, obviously using the jp title originates from localization originally taking months to years and fans of animation being able to exchange news or bootlegs early, but its continuation as simultaneous release became normal is definitely an effect of piracy. but that's history now

dumb anime title discourse thought: the use of the jp title over the en title definitely arose from piracy, especially to help obscure/protect uploads, but it also used to come with a community that hated the official sub and almost any dub. but these days piracy is motivated much differently.
