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

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.

Hmm, could I interest you in a little Amores Perros and La Femme Nakita?

That's true, but it only shows results in Japanese. If I'm looking for A Place Further Than The Universe, it's probably the top result, but Sora yori mo Tooi Basho could be anything to these ignorant American eyes

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

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?
