The word "anime" isn't written "anime". It's a japaneese character. So assuming we created a word out of letters for every other language that uses letters, we ought to use the conventions of those languages. Therefore, 1 anime - 5 animes.
Japaneese use signs like 製. No letters anyways.

Because all the newer ones look like this

Or feature kids in kindergarden. There are a few good ones like Zetsuen No Tempest - but i mentionned those.
Also, there was more animes created from ~2000 to 2011 than from 2012-now, so there is a much bigger pool there. When you are looking for something specific that is not featuring high school or completely ******ed stuff, you got to look a little bit more.
Tell me if this is what you like, if so, I got more for you:
