  • I'm not really picky about anime, neither can I watch anime non stop and on a roll like most hardcore fans do. Nevertheless I'm blessed to be a part of the community and i love anime and that's all is what matters to me. ^_^

  • It's been one hell of a year, though I can't really remember what happend since my memory sucks. It seems like sequels and isekai are the most prominent anime this year, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a sucker for fantasy anime. I just hope 2022 will be an even better year.

  • Promised Neverland is by far my favorite culinary anime!

    shutired

  • There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone. Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone. And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

    Gumagala_Lang

  • Now looking back it was a great year for anime we got some very great tropes like that of an anime with just wholesomeness and normal life mixed with fantasy element without any action or drama in it and there were other great original stories like that of odd taxi and link click
