How come all y'all say "anime" wrong?

[therob]

I always hear English speakers pronounce it "an-imay." However, if you listen to this Japanese girl, it's pronounced "on-ee-may."

skip to 0:22 & 0:27 & 0:59 & 1:08


OR is SHE the one mispronouncing it since this guy speaking Japanese at 1:24 pronounces it "an-imay" like the English speakers say it...but a faster version of it?



Should we all be pronouncing it as "on-ee-may"





This reminds me of:
man-ga & mon-ga
Ry-you & Ri-you & Ree-you
Jy-row & year-row

Who cares how it pronounced it's still trashy cartoons and sexist towards women.

Annie May.

That's literally how it's been pronounced since... like, ever a non-Japanese viewing was done. I just pulled out an ancient box of t-shirts I have, one of which is from the old Cal-Animage Beta chapter (beeehhh-ta) from like... 1984? Something like that. Annie May.


weeb.

Same with "Bratwurst" which mostly is pronounced "Braatworst" but hey... does it really matter...? 🙄

Sausage. Or if you have a very strong German accent. Sosig.

Good man.

animu
japanimation
nihongination

most people don't pronounce english correctly, even within english speaking countries.

onimei is still butchering it, probably.

anyway a lot of purists say the only way to speak japanese is clenching your butt like there's a stick up there, and that's really discriminatory against the kansai and ryuku dialects.

so, it's a little...

sexist towards women from the user with the old cliche demeaning 'call for a good time' moniker as a username
