I mean I'm saying Kekkai Sensen instead of Blood Blockade Battlefront. Sorry ProZD.

That makes sense, because if you were actually writing it in Japanese you'd write it with their characters, not English letters?

Not necessarily, romanji exists for this exact purpose.

Agreed, if I wanted to be quizzed on my Japanese by the UI and posts I would load up Misskey.

To be fair, more people know the name "Boku no Pico" than "My Pico"

What if the English name doesn't stick, so you've gotten tired of having awkward pauses when you try to use it and have simply accepted you're incapable of using the English-name of that show in a sentence?

If Japanese is not your first language and you start throwing it around because of cartoons... maybe reconsider your life choices. Specifically consider getting one: it's not all about pointy hair, side mouths, and painfully and autistically explained emotions and social interactions. But hey what do I know, I'm just an outsider to this deep and rich culture... 🙄

I don't get it. You can search MyAnimeList using either name most of the time.

Outside of context, I don't know what a takkyuubin is, but I can see it belongs to a magic user.
