This is a list of my Vocābula Animīna et Mangāna.  It is basically a list of Latinistic words and phrases that can be used as translations of anime-related words.  The Vocabula computatralia inspired me to compile this list.

     I have decided to use John C. Traupman’s method of using dots (•) to indicate where inflectional elements are added.  For example, “bell•us -a -um” refers to the words bellus, bella, and bellum.

     Word etymologies are shown in brackets.  For example, the etymology of “animīn•us -a -um” is [animi- + -īnus].
