I think you're wrong about that. If you notice there is no comma. For connect punctuation you should use a comma before the quotation. Not only that, but the first word of a sentence should be capitalized. You will notice that anonymous is not capitalized. Also I'm not completely certain of this, but since anonymous is used as a name it should be capitalized for that reason. Although, since it may count as a personal pronoun then maybe it doesn't have to be capitalized. Regardless it is still the first word of a sentence.
