I'm pretty sure the correct one is "nanimo mimasen."

yes I do think too that the correct one is "Nanimo mimas"...because
<Nanimo> which means nothing and 'mimasen', which means i have not seen <<
becomes
"I have not seen nothing" >><< which actually does not make sense.
So as per reality and rationality, I too think it will be "Nanimo mimas".
Others please help.
