The Japanese title is プラネテス ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ. The second word, ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ, is Greek for
"planets" or "wandering stars". The first word is a transcription of the Greek
word into Japanese using Katakana. In Romaji it would be "Puranetesu".

The English title is ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ Planetes. How should this be pronounced in
English? I've used all the following, but I'm really hoping someone here knows
or can find the official pronunciation.

  * Plane-tess
  * Planets
  * Planet E-S

question
planetes
Is there an official English pronunciation of Planetes?


The name "planet" comes from the Ancient Greek term πλανήτης (planḗtēs),
meaning "wanderer." In modern Greek, it's more or less pronounced "planítis. "

Note that the Japanese romanization is "Puranetesu," プラネテス. Planets is
romanized "Puranettosu, " プラネットス.

By inference, we can assume that the title is pronounced "PLA-NE-TES. "
