  • This year is a pretty good year for anime. We've got some amazing new shows like Mushoku Tensei, Ousama Ranking, Odd Taxi & 86. But we also got some shit like Mid Hero season 6, Bronze End and Ex-Arm. This year was a fun rollercoaster and I'm hoping that 2022 will be even better.

    Felpzz

  • 2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

    Laaleet

  • 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.

    MADM4X_

  • Most of the anime that aired on 2021 are incredible boring but few are memorable . This is a good year for some legendary series. I have lot's of expectation anime that gonna airing on 2022 .

    AnimeXenjoyer

  • Come on you have more than 100 anime in plan to watch when will that number become a 2 digit number before it becomes a 4 digit? Take a little time to relax and watch some anime ?

    Shamir-kun

  • With so many anime that, instead of pandering to trendy stuff, were more like passion projects, 2021 made me feel "Anime is getting good again". Oddtaxi, Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi, Sonny Boy and Heike Monogatari made the year much more enjoyable.

    Brottoy

  • Not the best year, but still enjoyable. Good luck for everyone

    XNRaiser
