  • 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 ...

    _swh_

  • This year was the year in which I was introduced to the world of anime. I am so happy to be able to enjoy this year with a vast variety of shows to binge watch every single day. I will never forget the day that I discovered the source in which gave a smile on my face.

    near94

  • In 2021, we learned from anime that adulthood sucks, dragons must also pay their taxes like good citizens, being undead does not have to stop you from being a good parent, former yakuza make great homemakers, and to never forget the tale of the Heike. A splendid year indeed!

  • I will be honest , I didn't expected much from this year's anime shows, I don't have words to express , some animes had a good ending ,some had a wholesome one and other's were just perfect, I can't wait for the new one's to come and I don't want to forget what had gone.

  • Year 2021 is a very memorable year for me for it's the first time that I've watched anime of the certain season. I've watched almost all anime of 2021 and even participated in FAL and for me, it's the year that I've enjoyed watching anime more than ever before!

    Mhar-sama

  • 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
