I've never heard Japanese use 'anime," they just say like "animation" with their Japanese accent that goes ani-may-shien lol. I do remember people using Japanimation though, that's the 90s' lol.

I've heard japanese use the word "anime" a lot. It's very common to abbreviate things in Japan by dropping syllables, like "pokèmon", which originally was named pocket monsters or "poketto monsta". Similarly while the official word is "animation" in normal conversations it usually is called "anime".

not on my end for some reason, maybe I'm too formal lol.
