Hey guys I'm just curious to know that how do you address the name of an anime? From my point of view it depends on the name of the anime so I kinda address from their Japanese as well as English

| Appreciated Japanese names only until someone asked me if I'd seen the latest episode of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou. Never again. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Depends on the name really. I say both "Attack on Titan" and "Shingeki no Kyojin", depending on who I talk to. I can never remember the Japanese name for "Fullmetal Alchemist", so I use only the English word for that. Most of the time I probably simply use the Japanese name, I would never say "Stray god" instead of "Noragami". |
| i say it depends on wether the english name or the japanese is easier to pronounce or if a anime has a long name than i just use the short name of it like konosuba for example |
| Whatever is most commonly used, easiest to pronounce, and shortest. |
 |
| Two: Which is more identifiable regardless of meaning and which version is shorter. I'm not gonna call erased by its japanese name even though the meanings are not directly the same. I will refer to anohana as that because it's original name is pretty long |
~Spiritual Healing~  |
| If the japanese name is short and easy to remember, then I'll go with that. Or not, I just use the english name |
 |
| Depends on the anime I'll always say Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but on the other hand I'll never say "Welcome to demon school, Iruma-kun", I'll stick with "Mairimashita! Iruma-kun" And sometimes, it's both (like LOTGH, Yakusoku no Neverland or SNK) |

Never again. Lol your comment was so funny it made my day. P.S I'm exaggerating my comment so as to exceed its character limit. |

| I always use the romanian name I invented especially for that certain anime. But on mal I use the shortest version be it english or japanese. |
    |
| I use the Japanese name.Unless it's a light novel adaptation with a long ass name like Shuumatsu nani Shitemasu ka?Isogashi desu ka?blah blah.I just use the short form for such series. |
| I always go with the Japanese name out of habit (or whichever I'm more used to) And then my friends come up to me and start talking about a certain anime and say the name of it in English /German and I'm just standing there like... What are you talking about are you sure it exists shsjskwk |
"You think your power has limits, I say it's limitless." |
| Since Japanese is the superior language, Japanese always. Who even uses English these days? Maybe normies. True anime fans always use Japanese. If someone asks me what anime I'm currently watching, I'll always say "I'm watching Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru OVA". Japan forever. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| Fullmetal Alchemist Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Run with the Wind Noragami Shingeki no Kyojin Sakamichi no Apollon Fugou Keiji Sangatsu no Lion Both Food Wars and Shokugeki no Souma ... In short, like most people here, I use both but I mainly use the Japanese. I often use English titles in long af names unless they have an easy and distinctive Japanese abbreviation like Oregairu, Hamefura, Konosuba etc. |

| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Normally i use both depends on the anime if its really long and complicated japanese name i will probably say it in english |
| Don't fuck up the present, it's connected to your future! |
| I speak English. I can pronounce and remember the English name. So the English name. MAL should also make this an option. Right now it's a mix of both based on [factors] but it should be something you can toggle. |
| well,which is easy to remember like One Piece and Oregairu. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Whichever one rolls off the tongue easier I guess. Kekkai Sensen is a lot easier to say than Blood Blockade Battlefront, but on the flip side, Attack on Titan is a lot easier to say than Shingeki no Kyojin. So I just take it on a case-by-case basis. |
| I just say whatever rolls off of the tongue better most of the time. The long light novel names I always so in English though |
 |
| Usually the japanese name because it's easier for me to say although I use the english name whenever I feel like it's the more popular and recognizable. |

| It depends on the title's length. If the Japanese title for an anime is too long, I just use its shortened Japanese title and/or its English title. |
| Japanese name because it sounds better I guess. |
| When typing, mostly Japanese. If the title is too long, mostly switch to an alternative title whether it's English or Japanese. For example, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru to Oregairu. When talking to a friend, face-to-face, mostly I'll be using the shortest one, even sometimes alias. For example, Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e to Anos. |
| English name, the japanese names are too complicated to remember |
| ํ ๋ฒ๋ง ์ด์ง๋ง ์ ๋๋ก ํ๋ฉด ํ ๋ฒ์ด๋ฉด ์ถฉ๋ถํด์ |
| Whichever is easier to remember or more generally used. |

| Depends on if the japanese is short and easy to remember (ex. Kimi ni Todoke) if the title is long, then i usually address it in english. |
 |
| Whatever that's not a mouthful is what I abide at :P |
 |
| For Assassination Classroom I'll just use the english one. The Japanese name for it, is just harder to say. I'll just usually say the easier one to say. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| whatever I feel like sometimes I say boku no hero, others I say my hero sometimes, when I'm in the mood, like right now, I will do a slash. "Boku no Hero/My Hero Academia" |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Depends on the anime. For example I call Mirai Nikki and Kuzu no Honkai by there Japanese title. I call The Promised Neverland and Attack on Titan by there English title. Then there are some were I alternate between the two. Like Koe no Katachi/A Silent Voice, Kimi no Na Wa/Your Name, or Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia. |
 |
| Whichever name seems more convenient to me - that's usually the one which is shorter and easier to remember. |
| Most of (like 97% of watched) - use japanese name (sometimes shortened like konosuba or tensura), but for few mainstream anime (like FMA, GitS) use english because people don't really know their japanese titles so there is really no choice here. |
 |
| The name or acronym which is most popular so that most people get what anime I am talking about. |
| It depends on the anime and the moment. Sometimes I'll say Kuroshitsuji / Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun / Mahoutsukai no Yome, some other time I'll say Black Butler / My Little Monster / Ancient Magus Bride. If the japanese name has a short name (Anohana, Oregairu, Danmachi, RikeKoi), I use those most of the time. With my best friend when talking about anime we usually use one or few words: (Mahouka, A Place, Shingeki, Bungou, Richard, Cavalry, Miira, Ao) or sometimes even half of a word lol (Assassi, Inu, Nora, Quali, Nise, Bake) |
 |
| I go with whichever is easiest. Usually that means english since some shows have ridiculously long names. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| A few years ago I would have said the japanese names but now it's mostly the english names. In some cases I use the japanese shortened names like Oregairu or Oreimo. |
| I tend to use the Japanese name. Because I tend to learn it 1st. |
| It depends on the length and what most people call it, But most of the time I'll say the Japanese name to sound cool and informed. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| japanese, unless the title sucks. I'll come up with my own version then. see: slimeshit. it refers to slime isekai. |
| ้ฆฌ้นฟใใๅซ็ใๅ จ้จใฌใฉใฏใฟใง |
| I use Japanese mostly, and for a longer name I'll just shorten in using my own version of the Japanese title. I mean, if I read it out loud then I'd get what it means, and that's the name that pops up the most (especially on MAL), so why not?? |
