Before I even knew what it was, I pronounced it as 'eh-nIm'.
Now I say 'A-nee-me' in Dutch and 'E-ne-may' in English.

I've almost always pronounced it correctly. Even during my weeb phase. Thank goodness.

I've almost always pronounced it as it is, but there was like a day or two some yeeears after I had gotten into anime that someone convinced me that it was pronounced as "Ah-neh-meh/mey". I'm pretty bad at typing out how to pronounce things, sorry.;; Anyway, after the two days or so, I was like, "Nah, this doesn't sound right," then went back to how it's supposed to be.

I've always pronounced it correctly. It helps that finnish and japanese are VERY similar when it comes to pronounciation.

I've never been a weeaboo. And I've always called it the way the Japanese say it, because that's how it's pronounced where I live, too.

Of course, when I talk English, I use 'any-may'.

I always spelled anime the right way but, for the longest time, I pronounced manga as "main-ga". Why I will never know.
