Yo, that was me. I saw an article or something about anime and I told a couple dudes at school about it cause it sounded really cool. Turns out they were already anime nerds, and made fun of me for not knowing about anime or how to pronounce it.

But then some time later, one of them pronounced 'manga' with a hard A, and I corrected him, cause now I'm the nerd.

there's no such thing as a "hard" a, but i know what you mean, except it seems real weird to me to say "mon-ga" and then also say "an-nim-ay" like if you're going for accurate pronunciation it should "mon-ga" and "ah-nee-meh" and nobody ever says that.

i say it mayn-guh and i'm never going to stop

i've always wondered that and it seems like a thing i could've looked up by now, but i haven't and i'm not going to. my guess was always rurouni kenshin.

is there anywhere i can legally watch densha otoko?

i just listened to a podcast where people argued about mulder's pronunciation of "ronin" in an x-files episode. some guy says ronin and mulder corrects him by pronouncing it with a long i and the podcast guys were like i bet that's not even right.
