「けいおん！」

The plural of anime is ANIME, not ANIMES.

Continuing on from my previous post, here is something I found strange.

So some people say, “Have you seen a lot of anime?” or “How many animes have you seen?”

Now let’s switch ‘anime’ to ‘movies’. Now you would say, “Have you seen a lot of movies?” or “How many movies have you seen?”… right?

Now how can people suddenly change from ‘anime’ to ‘animes’? It makes no sense. As I said before, tacking an ‘s’ to signify more than one onto the end of a Japanese word is WRONG. The Japanese do not distinguish between singular or plural forms. It is understood from the context.

Please get it RIGHT. It is as bad as getting the context of a particular word wrong (eg. their, there and they’re).
