I would say that you will here ANMARI more since it is the informal version. AMARI is more polite and will be seen more in writing. However this doesn't mean you can't use ANMARI in a polite sentence.

Difference WATAKUSHI really isn't spoken often, and when I do hear it certainly catches my attention. ANMARI and AMARI are both pretty common, well, I hear them. | ||
