Wow I can't even keep track off all the animes I've watched. Anyways got a question for you I have watched so many animes that I don't even bother to remember every characters name while watching the show. Its even more difficult cause the many of the characters names are hard to read or speak. Does it happen to you too?

Unless it's a show with western motifs, it'll take me a little while to get used to names. Usually I'll start with nicknames (blonde, glasses, dude with Dio's voice), before using the commonly used name (last name-kun). A few episodes later and I usually get the hang of the MCs at least. It can be confusing when different characters are using different names though, and I lose track of what's the family name and what's the given name.

Its even worst when names in Japan gives away what relationship you have it someone giving them permission to be able to call you with your first name.
