2021 was not the best but it also was not the worst year for animes, i can say that there will always be a space in my heart for my besto friendo, king must protect, idol zombies and romance fruits.

What a great year for anime. I enjoyed watching every seasonal anime this year. Some brought joy and some brought sadness. We all are blessed with these wonderful shows. I appreciate every single one of them.

There is no greater happiness and peace than sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and watching this year's anime with your loved ones, creating memes, even crying sometimes but also admiring, learning and being enchanted ...

Back in September of this year I started getting into anime, starting with MHA, (which I still have a soft spot for btw) and the most recent anime I've watched was Bleach. At the beginning of this year I decided to take a break from anime, but Akira is next. Keep watching anime!

anime is a retreat from a retreat as in it is another version of tv and some look at tv as a retreat and anime fits thats because anything is possible as long as one can draw it

Jimomapas

When there is nothing in life, when you feel down and you feel like there is nothing you can do, you can always turn to anime to make you feel high in life and then sad, then happy again, and then sad again...I don't know, watch anime I guess.

Better than crunchy roll award winners probably hopefully maybe
