My first anime - 'Ghost in the Shell' (1 Viewer)

[Woo Jae]

Anime - well, it's ANIMATION without the tion. AN-EE-MAY is how I say it and think it.

 

[Morgan Jolley]

In Katakana and Hiragana, two Japanese symbol languages, the symbols for the word ANIMATION are pronounced AH-NI-MAY-SHUN. So they pull out the SHUN and make it AH-NI-MAY. Thus, anime.
