Animu

People who write "animu" desperately try to distance themselves. They don't want to be part of the typical anime-loving 4chan fanbase. By using "animu" instead of the correct "anime", they can be edgy and show their rebellious side. They're the virtual equivalent of goths and emos. "Oh look I want to be different. I'm here, but I don't actually like anime. I'm not like you, I'm special."

Do us, iie, do yourself a favor and grow the fuck ue, thanks. ^^°

Couldn't blame ya.

Honestly, it embarrasses me at times to even like anime, because there's a minority of the fanbase thats out of control.

I'm getting tired of listening to some 'anime experts' here telling me why the stuff I like sucks and why theirs is so SUPERIOR. (even though people have different tastes and interests)  Hell, I even mention that I like something like DBZ, and I get attacked.

Animu is 'appropriate slang', if there ever was such a thing.
