:I guess it depends on the meaning of 謎の円盤群シリーズ. If it's more about the discs being mysterious then sure, I agree. But if it's more like a mystery of the discs, then the current name is better.

Name Rewording

I think "Mysterious Disc Series" sounds better than just "Mystery Disk Series." The two names means the same: it implies that the milk caps are mysterious discs of some sort. But the "Mystery Disk Series" is worded awkwardly and doesn't imply that the disc are mysterious, but rather a puzzle to solve. "Mysterious Disc Series" is the same, but the implications are stronger and that it is not a puzzle, but rather something mysterious, almost mythical, to marvel at. -- White Eye User signature. 日出づる雲 7:27 PM, 28 April, 2022 (CST)
