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?

Do it anyway. There's no way I'm remembering the Japanese name to look it up later, but I'll have a much better chance of remembering the English name.

If there's a distinct part of the show name (like Totoro), just call it that.

Dont like this guy. if i tell him my favorite movie is whatever and he starts going off about what language im using, i will gladly stay very far away from this person in the future and keep enjoying things in whatever way i want.

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... 🙄
