The easiest way to figure it out is to say two English names together: "Annie" and "May", but if you really want to pronounce it well, you can either read through lesson one in our Japanese lessons, or try this: Each of the three syllables has an equal length, and is pronounced with a relatively clipped vowel at the end. "A-ni-me" has an "a" which is pronounced like the a in "father" (sort of "ahh"; not as nasal as a normal American English "a" but also not like "on"), "ni" which is like "knee" (but with a shorter "ee" on the end), and "me" which sounds like the beginning of "met" (with no "t" of course). Stick all three syllables together without pauses, and you have anime. Writing it with an French-style accent on the "e" is also occasionally done, and although this makes the correct pronunciation of the final "e" more clear, it isn't really correct since the word is technically Romanized Japanese, which has no accent marks.
