Is the plural of 'anime' just 'anime', or is it 'animes'?

Yes I know this sounds dumb ;)

Anime. Needless to add 's' to it.

I believe that it is just anime.

Anime. While we're on it, it's manga, fish, houses, crises and mongooses.

Anime. There is no plural form in Japanese, so how many there are is taken from the context of the rest of the sentence. So it's just 'anime'.

Please no. Not this thread. Ranvius already ranted about this.

Use whatever you want. Everybody understand you when you say animes.

It's 'anime.' I'll understand if you use 'animes.'
