| Ahaha yupp almost all the time. Its crazy cus I binge it and for some reason the characters name never stays in my head |
 |
| during the show? no. right after it? yes. I have simply watched too many shows with so many repetative names and designs it's all a blur. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| yea ngl sometimes I just completely forget the name of certain characters unless they're simple/unique ones like Sinbad or Senjougahara or the character themselves has had a big presence |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Yeah I sure do. All the Y-names in Oregairu give me a damn headache. Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, Yuki, Yui Who? What? |
 |
| I'm usually pretty good at that, but if a show has a character who I do not give a shit about and does not mention them for like 3-4 episodes, it's gonna take me a little bit to remember who it is. Anime side characters are sometimes just really bland, even in good shows, and I can't help but tune them out |
 |
| I forget names AS THEY ARE BEING TOLD TO ME... Yes, that quickly... it's terrible :( |

| Yes, I forget the names of the characters pretty often. Unless they have a memorable name or are the main part of the story. |
| YES!!!!!!! I am absolutely garbage with names even in real life. I will often call characters things like "Sister 2", "Guy With Hat", "Mr. Definitely Not 14-Years-Old". Just whatever my brain assigns to them in the moment I meet them. I usually keep a character list up next to me in case I forget who is who. Madoka Magica and Ouran are the shows where I think I remember the names of all the characters. It's a real problem ahahaha..... |
 |
| yeah i'm pretty sure that's normal especially if you're binging a show. it also happens to me when i read books too quickly |
| I watched Kimetsu no Yaiba and now I'm reading the manga. Except for the four main protagonists, Giyu and Shinobu, I don't remember any of the other characters' names, even after just finishing each chapter lol. |
| Yea, I watched Psycho Pass 1,2,3 and I still can't remember their names. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| Yes. I forget names even with non-anime English language shows. |
| not really forget, but more of confused as to which name to call to them since some characters will be referred to as both their family and given names by the people around them. and it's made worse if there's roughly equal numbers of both and neither are predominant |
 |
| Yes.I have a very difficult time when it comes to remembering names.I usually binge watch but for some reason I can't remember the names unless they are pretty unique/eccentric ones. |
| Yes, I struggle with names even in real life (such as all my classmates names for instance). I happen to be have an extremely short memory, for better or worse. |

KangzThangz said: Does anyone forget characters names during a show sometime it gets so confusing its like half the characters are calling a character by there first name then the other half are calling there second name then they have a nickname too plus i find it hard to seperate the names a few of them can be quite similar sounding and its not like its for one character either there will be a bunch of them doing it, you have like 12 names associated with 5 characters, i find myself halfway into an episode and jumping on wiki to remind myself who the hell they gossiping about lol. On 12-24 episodes anime, yes. On long stream animes, usually no. It's totally fine to forget username, unique looks are there for that purpose, japanese names are hard to remember for people who aren't fluent with japanaese, too. |
 |
| All the time man. I always forget their names when I want to talk about them in the forum. |

Except for the four main protagonists, Giyu and Shinobu, I don't remember any of the other characters' names, even after just finishing each chapter lol. I've only seen the anime so far, but the pillars are popular enough to where everyone I know remembers their names and talks abt them.... I usually call them by whatever their pillar title is, but Rengoku is "Spicy Chicken Man" and Tokitou is "Just Hatsune Miku". Get a lot of flack for those two, ahaha |
|
| yep like always lol and why cannot the japanese use their first name instead damn ren_moon said: I watched Kimetsu no Yaiba and now I'm reading the manga. Except for the four main protagonists, Giyu and Shinobu, I don't remember any of the other characters' names, even after just finishing each chapter lol. lol i only call the Pillars by their elemental or nature position like Wind Pillar, Rock Pillar, etc |
| While I was watching Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, I almost always forgot the names of supporting characters. Luckily, the animators added name and rank of every character whenever they showed up on the screen, so that helped me a lot. |
| Almost all the time that I forget their names. |
 |
| I tend to forget names if the characters are not memorable, as simple as that. And I also forget names if I have seen the anime long ago, and there are no new seasons and/or I am not reading it's source material. Normally I don't care as long I remember what I want to remember. |

| I forget after I watched the show, not during. LOL |
 |
| Unless the show beats the names into my skull by repeating them every 5 minutes I can never remember them.. Just glanced over the shows I've watched and could barely remember five or so names. Oof. |
| No, it's easy for me to remember them. Even in anime with over 10 characters introduced in one ep, lmao. |

| Yes I do forget names quite often but if the anime I watched was memorable I won't forget them for pretty long time |
| All. The. Time. For shows for mangas... Even if I read /have watched them in one bit. To be fair I also never remember anyone's name in real life so that's that. I have to go back and look up their names to remember who they were or who they were talking about etc. |
"You think your power has limits, I say it's limitless." |
| It comes down to what characters we're talking about. Do you have 16 different characters and only a few of them barely stand out? Gonna be an issue with remembering any of them. Especially if you don't really care about most of them. A few characters and you like them? Probably should know their names or at least take the time/effort to learn their names. Especially if you're gonna talk about your waifu/husbando/best girl/w/e take the time to learn their name. In the end the most memorable characters will be remembered after the show ends and the rest of the cast forgotten. Sometimes a shame with supporting characters never really getting the spotlight and becoming great. |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| My brain can't remember japanese name, it's just too complex for that stupid thing. |
| My youtube channel about music and anime : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_rrNoYApg1VQ-PIT7jZ37Q |
| lmao that was me during Diamond no Ace i was like who the hell is half of this team |
 |
| all the time. can't remember those fucking names man. Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri El-Melloi shit crap ugh i don't give a fuck anymore. |
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." |
| if the character is not that memorable (literally doing nothing to the story) I would forget. Though most of the times im sharp on names. Say it one time, i will remember it throughout the series. |
| I can't be bothered to remember the names of all characters, unless they'e important enough or stand out in another way, I'm watching too much for that. Usually it's enough to remember the main characters anyway and as last resort there's fortunately also the MAL page with all characters listed, very convenient. There are of course some exceptions, for most parts longer series like One Piece, Naruto, Black Clover, etc. where I automatically remember all the names due to being more invested. Characters are also more unique/striking compared to the average joe in a school comedy that goes for 12 episodes. |

| I have good memory so I don't usually forget. I associate difficult japanese names with their kanji so it's easier to remember. Aria was one show I had trouble with because there are a lot of similar names and all of them start with an a. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Watching around 100-150 eps a week, normal that's around 5-15 shows depending on what amount of eps the show got. Yes, no way in hell I can remeber every characters name. |
 |
| Yes. Specially if they are kinda unimportant to the plot. And if they are all presented together, I barely rememper one. |
 |
| One of the cons from watching so many seasonals is this. Happen all the time |
 |
| Yea but not during watching period. Only forget after finished it some time later. I think the memory comes back like ~ Ah yes that moment! I remember it now... kana |
| yeah, all the time. Especially when watching seasonal shows. Andright after its done, immediately forgetting it for good |
