Flexable is mostly correct but it is wrong to say that all anions are always nonmetallic.
Anions do not have to be simple, i.e. they can be composed of a number of atoms, e.g. chromate (CrO₄^2-) and in this way it would be incorrect to say that they are either metallic or nonmetallic.
Sorry to be a pedantic asshole but I guess that's what science is all about.
