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.
