| So do you guys usually remember character's names in anime? I just noticed that i don't remember any names unless they are unique, follows a pattern, or are thrown in your face all the time (Naruto/Ichigo/ Ect). I don't even remember names from my favorite animes like Code Geass. The only names i can remember from that show are Lelouch, CC, Kallen, and Nunally. I totally forgot who that one guy who piloted Lancelot was called ._. |
| Spinzaku Kick is how I remember Suzaku. |
| Depends, the more Japanese sounding the name the harder it is to remember. Though with my favorite anime I remember a lot because I've watched them like 8 times. I just recalled the MC from Kore wa Zombie by remembering the one girl calling him Baka ayumu, can't remember her name though. |

| usually i do if i like them or hate them, if they are just meh to me i usually dont remember their name |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Usually my favorites, the MC's, and the characters I can't stand. |
 |
| No, only the characters I liked. |
| Barely. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Most of my favorites, but for the most part no. I end up going to my list, clicking the anime, looking at the cast, and copy/paste names that I need. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Everything dubbed by Hanazawa Kana is always Hanazawa Kana. xDD I don't remember some name of the characters but I just call them Hanazawa Kana. That also applies to Kugimiya Rie and maybe Fukuyama Jun. xDD |
| Always. I cannot remember a certain event without remembering the key characters of that event. It's just how my memory works. Which makes it very complicated when I talk about a "secondary" character , people are unlikely to remember his name. " I don't remember all the names you know , let alone what I had for lunch :yaoming: " "Fuck you. " |
| if it's a short anime 1-10 eps long than probs not LOL |

| I usually remember. Unless I really don't give 2 cent about the character. |

| Only those from most of my favorite series |
 |
| Always. Of course except the background characters though it may possible for me to remember their names. |
 |
| Only for series that I've seen recently...for those that I've seen years ago I could barely remember faces letalone names. The anime must leave a great impression on me to remember something so trivial. Kind of like real life at the moment.. |
| I can remember many names, but not all of them. If I do remember a character's name after a long time, I'm probably going to remember it forever. Still, I've got through some series without ever learning all their names. Some series that I liked like Bokurano have had me forget everyone's name within 3 days of finishing. |
| It varies. For example I only remember Jun from the anime Happiness, because he was the only redeeming factor of the show. But I remember all the names from my favourties, and most names from anime that I liked (Generally speaking). |
| If there aren't too many characters I can usually remember them. I can never recognize or remember seiyuu though. |

| i'm weak with names, so i can only remember my favorites. |
| Usually I remember em. Unless the character plays too little of a role or was just not that important. I try to remember whatever I can though. |
| if the anime is memorable then i usually have no problem with the names at all |
 |
| I remember them because I normally read the manga either before or at the same time I'm watching the anime. Plus while I'm watching/reading I obsess over it enough to pic hunt so I need to know names to search for pics XD |
 |
| I'm usually great with names, so yup. Although it took me a flipping long time to differentiate between Kiritsugu, Kirei, and Kariya in Fate/Zero. And I kept thinking that Tohsaka and Tokiomi were different people, haha. |
| Only characters that I really like or really hate. I'm pretty bad at remembering names especially if they are very Japanese, which of course a lot are lol. |
| Depends on how long the anime is. I tend to remember names from longer anime better because I'm exposed to them more. I also remember names better from anime I watched a long time ago. I can seriously recognize about 80-90% of the names from Yu Yu Hakusho (even really unimportant characters), but when it comes to something like Cromartie High School (in my top 5 anime), I can remember only a few names. |
| I only remember the name of characters that i liked or if they made a big impact in the anime. |
| I remember some names but mostly forget the ones from series that were forgettable or mediocre. |
| only the memorable ones |
 |
| I can recall all main and some supporting characters... mostly of recent watched animes |
| I'm not good at remembering names, so sometimes I even have problems with my favorites xD |
 |
| I'm just surprised I remember lots of the names from Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I can't remember all the names well in most of the anime unless they're memorable characters, or that I just like them. |
| I remember my favorites but it's impossible for me to remember all. Looking at you, Touken Ranbu |
 |
| It's hard to remember every characters name for every anime/manga that I've read or watched, especially when I'm already so forgetful of shit like that. |
 |
| Well to some extent yes... You can't help but remember your fav characters names and the ones who ya know had an big role or "impact" inside the show doesn't matter of its a good or bad character tho. As to side characters (or rather characters with very little character development) i can hardly remember any if their names |

| I tend to remember the names of characters I really like, or names of characters from the anime I really enjoy. And obviously then there are the characters nearly everyone knows the names of, regardless of whether you have seen the anime or not (e.g. Guts, Rem, Light, Saber, Yuno and etc). Also some characters you remember just because their names are a bit silly and they are easy to remember (Rock Lee, Lelouch). But, like, there's no way you will remember the names of every character from every anime you have seen. Especially if it's something you've only seen once/didn't like. |
| 'I love you because you're you. I'm happy that you're whole. I don't care if there are sides of you that I don't know, or don't like. If that's who you are, that's fine. As long as you're whole, that's enough for me.'-Kouko Kaga |
| Practically impossible to remember all since those include very minor characters |
 |
| I rarely remember anything about a show, let alone the character names. |
 |
| I know Chinese characters so remember names are easier, as I can know the meaning of their name. |
| For shows I don't like I remember the names of the main and maybe secondary characters. For my favorites I know everyone. |

| I remember faces.The struggle is real when I get confused as to their surnames. |

| It used to be hard for me to remember some characters' names so I shortened them and gave the shortened names honorifics |
| It really depends on the show, and if I read the manga later on and if the manga is already finished. For example: naruto I remember most characters, it is too long so u learn well... but even though minor characters I don't remember (I don't think I know all the people from akatsuki) Bleach even though is long, I just remember a name of a few captains (and I even forgot the name of the group of people that are shinigami plus hollow) Thinking carefully I don't remember most people from the animes I am watching right now - Chihayafuru I just remember 3 people's name/ Ansatsu Kuyoshitsu - 6-7 characters/ Made in Abyss like 3 or 4 - of course when I watch the episode everything comes back to my head, but I can't remember on my own |
