Anime isn't a Japanese word as we use it it's an English word based on a Japanese word, if cartoons is correct so is animes

"anime" is actually the vocative of "animus".
"anime" means "oh, spirit."

Actually, I fucked up my own post. I wanted to write "hikikomoris" to sarcastically bait on the fruitless debate over pluralizing the romanization of japanese words.
I failed. My apologies.

Japanimation.

Anime is now so mainstream the word was added to the english dictionary, so yes, animes is now correct

Just because it became a common english word doesn't mean it'll magically gain the regular plural

holds a different feel than

>>
>>288131849
>my lord, the ninja are attacking

the ninja is already plural you absolute larper

if you’re gonna sound like a feudal footman at least commit to it
otherwise just say ninjas and go back to polishing your mall katana

this entire thread is just weebs arguing grammar because they’re too socially stunted to argue about anything that matters

reckless normalcy wins again

There is literally no argument to be made for either one so if you think there's a "right" way to say animes your retarded

Anime comes from animation with the funny pronounciation of anglos that use an eh sound where there is none (that's why we have anime instead of anima).
Animation comes from French which comes from Latin, the root is anima which means breath, life, soul.

>plural issue
Japanese has no plural in our sense, so acktually anime and manga are correct plural forms (language fags would put the words in italics to mark that you mean a word from a foreign language).
BUT!
They were added to English dictionaries (meaning that normalfags are using them) so we need to check their entries.

no plural s
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/manga
mangas also accepted but not in /a/ (boo! be consistent!)

yay, uncountable words! You got it right!
