| This just randomly popped in my head so yeah. |
 |
| I'm not a native english speaker, so i don't really care about english name. |
| Depends which one sounds cooler tbh |
| Where's the both option at though? It depends on which is easier to say/type. |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| Japanese because looking it up online is generally easier that way. |
 |
| I've never talked about "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" or "Howl no Ugoku Shiro" , obviously, always about "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle", among other titles, if I talk about something with JP names is mostly because the English name doesn't exist yet. |
| I prefer the Engrish names. Gosick. |
 |
| whatever one sounds better i guess. |
| I usually just stick with the English name, but there's a few exceptions. I'll always refer to Higurashi as such rather than When They Cry. |
| I remember Japanese names easier. (lol) but some anime don't have Japanese names sooo |
| Generally, by their English name, since I speak English but not Japanese. The Japanese names are usually harder to remember, and the English names are more meaningful by virtue of the fact that I know what they mean. I do recognize many of the Japanese names just from talking with people on the internet about anime, and the fact that MAL uses them (incidentally, one cool thing about Hummingbird was that I could choose to have the names default to English, or a mix, or Japanese). But, let's be honest, who even uses the following names, aside from the Japanese? * Atelier Petros Joukuu Gekijou: Sentaku Shima no Sentaku Tori (hint: NOT related to the Atelier games, which have their own anime series) * Azumanga Daioh: Gekijou Tanpen * Doubutsu no Mori * Escha & Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi (though at least you can make sense of this one) * Jikuu Bouken Nuumamonjaa * Ookami to Koushinryou * Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi * Tsumiki no Ie |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I try to use the English one cause i'm not a weeb but occasionally i'll slip and use the Japanese one. |
I'm a shitposter for fun |
| I like to pick whichever one sounds more natural to say, like My Hero Academia sounds better than Boku no Hero Academia but Kara no Kyoukai sounds better than Garden of Sinners. Most of the time I'll use abbreviations anyway, like HeroAca |
| Japanese, because they're always written in that language on my streaming websites. I don't even know the English name of most anime I watch. |
  |
| Normally I go with the japanese names but if I cant say or the name is too big I use in english. |
 |
| It depends tbh. I'll usually refer to Boku no Hero Academia as simply Boku no Hero, but I'll refer to Ao no Exorcist as Blue Exorcist. Then there's Attack on Titan, where sometimes I'll call it that, or sometimes I'll simply say Shingeki. So yeah, it depends on what flows more naturally to me. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I use a mixture of both, since I have no option to vote for that I won't vote at all. |
 |
| Depends what rolls off the tongue better so to say Like if I'm talking about Food Wars, I'd more likely use the Japanese name whereas something like Attack on Titan, I'd more likely use the English name |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Whichever one flows better, like how everyone calls it Yuru Camp instead of Laid-Back Camp. Mostly just preference really. |
| Usually the English one but it really depends wich one is easyer to remember I mean just take Watamote for example remembering the Japanese title of that show is practically impossible |
| I chose Japanese, because I don't live in an English speaking country, so it doesn't really matter to me. BUT! It's usually what I get used to more at first. For example, I can't think Fullmetal Alchemist in Japanese. Though, those "exceptions" are probably only older titles that had already an impact with the English name more. |
   |
| Whichever I happen to remember. Typically, English. |
 “Don’t just mindlessly judge people as you please.” – Rin Okumura “Your past shouldn’t stop you from achieving your goals and dreams.” – Rin Okumura |
| japanese names usually, unless it's evangelion or fma or smth like that. |
Edward Elric > your waifu  |
| Whatever is shorter or easier to pronounce |
| I'll only use the English name if the Japanese one is so utterly obscure, nobody would know what I'm talking about (like Spirited Away). And I do enjoy learning full Japanese titles, if only to pronounce them correctly once, before forgetting them forever, like Watamote, or every horrible LN show ever. |

rvbrick said: That sounds amusingly like you're referring to the coffee you're drinking tomorrow, haha.Ashita no Joe is literally "Tomorrow's Joe" rvbrick said: Not to mention that Neon Genesis Evangelion is actually Greek, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica is Latin. (I use neither "Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica" nor "Magical Girl Madoka Magica". On the other hand I use "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha".)In the case of anime where the English title is different I just go with whatever's more "iconic". This mainly applies to EVA (Neon Genesis Evangelion doesn't mean the same thing as Shinseiki Evangelion) and all the Ghibli movies. Also I should add that, despite preferring English names, sometimes I just disagree with the English name. For example: * Rinne no Lagrange / Lagrange: the Flower of Rin-ne / Lag-Rin A more proper translation would be "Lagrange of Reincarnation" or "Lagrange of Samsara", and insert "a" and "the" as you see fit (since articles aren't part of Japanese). Neither name works very well. The distinctive part of this name is "Lagrange" (the way certain other shows are known in short form by "Arpeggio", "Evangelion", "Druaga", and so on, despite those words not necessarily being the first word of the title), and the English title puts "Lagrange" first, but also introduces the word "Flower" (which is an important element in-series, though not in the Japanese title), and also doesn't translate "Rinne" and even goes and rewrites it "Rin-ne" for some reason (if you know why, please tell me). Meanwhile, the show apparently is abbreviated as "Lag-Rin" by Japanese fans? Heck, the OP actually says that as its first words. I usually just call the show "Lagrange" or "Lag-Rin". If I'm allowed to choose a name, I think the most appropriately poetic name might be "Lagrange: the Flower of Samsara" or "Lagrange: the Flower of Reincarnation". * Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru / Yuki Yuna is a Hero / YuYuYu Okay, so I disagree with this one's English title for a different reason. A couple reasons, actually. 1. The name explicitly mentions a character's name, in a grammatically sensible way. The character's surname is Yuuki, and her given name is Yuuna. The dub actually calls her "Yuuna Yuuki" (or arguably, "Yuna Yuki", though you can't distinguish this because it's not spelled out in romaji), which is standard English name order -- a practice widely used for Japanese names in English, concurrently with standard Japanese name order. (I personally don't feel strongly either way, and solved this problem in my music folder by simply putting "Surname, Givenname".) However, the English title, for some reason, still uses Japanese name order, which is inconsistent with the dub's name for the character. 2. Okay, so we're keeping Japanese name order for the English title, but...for some reason we're taking out the extra "u"s? Why? If you're going to stick with the Japanese name, at least keep a more proper romanization. As a result, I usually call this series by its short name, "YuYuYu" (though I don't say "YuuYuuYuu", which I think some people use). Incidentally this name doesn't apply to its sequels/prequels/spinoffs/etc. because they all follow the name format "[character name] is a Hero" (or its Japanese equivalent), and the other character names don't start with the "yu" phoneme. But "YuYuYu" is certainly distinct enough to identify the franchise as a whole. When I have to give a full name, I sorta alternate between "Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero" (thus preserving the proper romanization of the Japanese name) and "Yuuna Yuuki is a Hero" (thus using standard English name order, but keeping the "u"s because I don't see a problem with them). Fortunately, I haven't yet run into anything yet whose name falls between "Yuki" and "Yuuna" alphabetically. *insert Soulja Boy going YUUUUUUUUUUUUUU* |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| English because I can speak English and can't really speak Japanese. Because of that, Japanese titles are usually harder for me to remember. |
 What's the difference? |
| Depends on the name of the show, and what I'm used to. |
 |
| Mostly Japanese but it depends on which name I'm used to |

Crosswastaken said: They should have just called it "Attack of the Titans".For example, Attack on Titan is a stupid title, so I prefer to use Shingeki no Kyojin. |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Always the english name I find the Japanese names just don't stick in my memory very well. |
| “we all live with the objective of being happy, our lives are all different and yet the same.” |
| Pretty good question since I've been asked around and they don't know when I use the English one. I usually use the English title as much as possible, the thing I care is how to pronounce it. |

| whichever is shorter and more convenient. sometimes i also shorten the title (example: gochiusa, kiniro) for convenience's sake. |

DreamingBeats said: Yeah, Japanese nicknames are generally relatively short and also easy to pronounce.whichever is shorter and more convenient. sometimes i also shorten the title (example: gochiusa, kiniro) for convenience's sake. While "PMMM" is technically shorter than "MadoMagi", the latter rolls off the tongue more easily, and is clearer what it's referring to. (I could call it "Madoka" except I know a certain Madoka Kyouno, so...) |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Sometimes it's an abbreviation (AoT, MHA). Sometimes it's shortened (KonoSuba, Shokugeki). Sometimes it's Japanese (Kimi no Na wa., Mirai Nikki). And sometimes it's English (Blue Exorcist but I haven't watched it). |
My Anime List < Have a good day! > My Manga List |
| I mostly refer to anime by their Japanese names, but sometimes I'll use the English names. |
| woah there |
| Whatever lends itself to a more useful abbreviation, I guess. With a sidedish of 'whatever I got used to first'. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Depends on what sounds better or what easier to remember. “Erased” sounds better and is much easier to remember than “Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi” |

| depends on the anime lol ihatethe30 |

| hate to be boring and typical but it really does depend on length and difficulty of the pronunciation of it. |
| Most of the Time I Use the Japanese names. I only use the english names is when the japanese ones are too long or harder to say. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| most of the time I stick with the English names, however there are a few animes where I would call it by its Japanese name instead, for example Shokugeki no Souma (Food Wars!) |
