Assault Lily romanizations

Posted under Tags

The most popular part of the Assault Lily franchise was (and probably still is) the 2020 TV anime, Assault Lily Bouquet. Whenever a character first appears in Bouquet, they get an on-screen name tag.

Here's Groppi's name tag in the original TV airing:

Miriam Hildegard Von Gropius

It was changed to this for the blu-ray release:

Miliam Hildegard von Guropius

Her name is spelled "Miliam Hildegard von Guropius" in the Japanese version of the 2021 gacha game, which also has these name tags. In the global version of the game it's "Miliam Hirudegarudo Von Guropius", but let's just ignore that, shall we?

Anyway, make of that boondoggle what you will. It seems like they purposefully changed the official romanization to Miliam Guropius, but that's... wrong, frankly. Everyone in Assault Lily shares the surname of a famous architect and in this case it's Walter Gropius.

For the record, Tazusa is "Ando Tazusa" in both versions of Bouquet, while Yo and Akari didn't appear in it (not with name tags, anyhow.)
