  • This year I finally watched one anime. Maybe two.

    SnailSavant

  • And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!

    Korixus

  • I love watching anime a lot, It changed my life. I was inspired by its animation and started a youtube channel named BVJ Animation where I am trying to make high quality content like anime. Thank you anime for supporting me ??.

    BlessonJoseph

  • Everything is amazing with its quantity and quality. While I haven't seen many productions, the ones I have seen were great, and my anticipation of the episode itself was a lot of fun (and impatience). Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this year so amazing!

    Alright_Ok

  • 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.

    Xunstone

  • 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
