- Most people will unconsciously pronounce it "Jap-animation". I haven't
- used the term in years now, and I used to live by it. :)

- > matter, why do they call it "anime" and not just "cartoons" or "animated
-
- Arrrgh, the "C" word. :) Amongst otakus, "_artoons" are considered to
- be the american/western things on Saturday morning TV. :)
-
- > films"? How the heck do you pronounce "anime" anyways? Did I miss a joke
-
- Like "animation" without the "shon" at the tend.
