I suspect that searching for an anime/manga by its romaji title is going to yield far fewer results than searching by its English title. Especially in cases like the one highlighted above, where the original work actually uses the English title in its Japanese branding.

- babypuncher 5y agoThat seems like an exception rather than the rule. The official English title is very wordy (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?), and the romaji title is both easy to spell and rolls off the tongue really well. It's a good shorthand for fans to use. Conversely, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi is longer and harder to pronounce than Fullmetal Alechemist. I've never seen this name used in lieu of the translated English name.
