| I don't have that problem because I only use the R1 licensed title, which is typically in English. "But what about unlicensed titles?" I'm clean, bro. No more fansubs for me. |

| isekai no seikishi monogatari, Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru, Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, and so on. This is the only reason why the rating/watching system is so nice. I don't need to bother remembering names if I don't have to. I do anyways though. |

| The longest ones I can remember are Higurashi no naku koro ni, Kore wa zombie desu ka, baka to test to shoukanjuu.. Normally, light novel adaptations has those weird ass long names. |

| It's hard to remember the longer names if you aren't proficient with Japanese. They just seem like a long string of characters than actual words. The longest I actually remember is Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai, but that was only because I was seeing it discussed a lot back when it was airing. But yeah, I'm not even touching stuff like Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru and Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita. |
| Yes, I can't remember Japanese titles to save my life, unless I type it a lot or know what they translate to and thus have something to mentally associate them with. This site frequently annoys me by not translating some titles into English that clearly have official English titles. So every time I scroll through my list I encounter something like Mouso Dairinin and think "wait, what the f*** is that?" and have to make sure I didn't enter something by mistake, only to find out it's just Paranoia Agent. |

| I have no problem remembering the names of newer series, but if they changed the entry after I watched it and I only knew the english title (like Paranoia Agent) I won't bother to learn the japanese name. If I search for Paranoia Agent, it'll still find the entry so who cares. For long LN titles I either have no interest in them and don't bother remembering the name in the first place, or I just use the abbreviation like most other people. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I don't have too much of a problem with anime titles, since I never go too obscure and I usually refer to them by their English names, but I remember browsing Natsuki Takaya's (author of Fruits Basket) works and I could never remember Boku ga Utau to Kimi wa Warau kara, "Songs to Make You Smile". |
| y'all need to shut the fuck up. |
| I've never had a problem recognizing titles, unless they're the ones that are abbreviated for us like Oniai or Noucome. |

If you really typed all those names out from memory without copy pasting I'm impressed. I myself have given up on remembering these types of titles for a long time. I only use the abbreviations now (Oreimo, OniAi, AnoHana...). It's weird how the japanese just come up with a 'random' sentence and decide to make that the title of the show, rather than making a simple and short one that's easier to remember... |

| Sometime it's a problem, but it can be funny too how i remember these long titles... |

After reading the article I think I get it now. It's pretty ingenious to use the title as a substitute for a long novel description. However, it's still kinda sad at the same time, that authors have to take this into consideration to cater towards an audience that can't bring up the patience to read a 'normal' book description. authors from other countries don't need to take these things into account when thinking up a title of their book. The fact that Japan is an exception to this rule still feels odd. Perhaps it has something to do with Japanese culture or something Japanese readers have gotten accustomed to (to only be drawn towards novels with longer titles I mean). |

| Fuck mals dumb weeaboo title system to be honest. |
Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |

| I don't really need to remember the full title, so it doesn't really bother me much. Just memorizing the abbreviation is enough and if I see the full title I'll recognize it. |
| I'm not the only one that read "anime tities" right? On Topic.....yeah, it annoys me sometimes. I think it would just be easier to put it in English. |
| English names Ill memorize immediately but Japanese names I can get by my 2nd or 3rd viewing of the name. Hmm I should memorize the Japanese title of "I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job." Thatll be fun/hard. |
 |
| The only ones that bug me are the really long names because I always end up butchering the pronunciation. Examples being: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Luckily there are short forms. |
JustALEX said: I'm not the only one that read "anime tities" right? Your dirty mind disgusts me. |
| y'all need to shut the fuck up. |
| what ever i heard first or whichever is more popular is what I use lol. I have no problem with longer names such as Ore no Imoutoblah blah blah... OreImo. Ta-dah. like magic. Other anime I switch on and off, like Attack on Titans or Shingeki no Kyojin. I use both. I don't short hand medium names... like Kyoukai no Kanata.. I know people call it KnK but is it really that hard to remember? lol. Supercalifragilisticespialidocious? as long as the Japanese name isn't as long as that, I have no problem remembering it. |
| only anime title i know off by heart is Yahari No sdpfekf.....the one with Hachiman Hichigaya in it I once asked a friend "Which is better? Shinji no Kyojin or Attack on Titan because i heard they were both really good animes" |
 |
| I use abbreviations since it's faster to type it in chat. And then I forget the original title. |
| I do have trouble remembering the Japanese titles to the hentai I've watched. |

Japan China and Korea are unique, as they are some of the few countries that haven't been colonized, so, unlike pretty much every other country, their modern culture is not based on the european colonists' culture |

| I have no such problem since I remember anime through their abbreviations, since Japanese fans usually refer to them that way. Even on Twitter, the hashtags are usually the anime abbreviations. On the flipside of things, it can be difficult to interact with some Western fans. Some refer to anime with their English names/licensed names, where some names are not direct translations or even loose translations. One example is: Asobi ni Iku yo! = Cat Planet Cuties? That had me scratching my head before... |
