It didn't stop Japanese fans to raise eyebrows about it. Japanese fans who can discover the Latin etymology of Arthur and put 2+2 together to get the female version of said name. Japense fans who probably thought to themselves "This is probably what Nasu had in mind!" and now probably feel betrayed and forced to accomodate to incompetency disguised as a whimsical decision.

If at least you could flawlessly go from Altria to Arthur in English, I would say "okay, they give the name a more masculine tone" but nope, Altria should become something like... Alther... Maybe?

I blame series like Legend of Galactic Heroes for being among the pioneers of incorrect translations based on approximative romanization of a word. But whatever, the creators said so!
