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.

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.

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
