  • "There's no way we could meet. But one thing is certain. If we see each other, we'll know. That you were the one who was inside me. That I was the one who was inside you."

  • Pride is admirable, but if pride is taken too far it becomes bitter arrogance.

  • A very important quote to me is: “An important thing to remember is, just because a person has problems communicating, doesn't mean that person doesn't want to communicate with others,” hearing this at the onset of each episode made me feel very happy!

  • This is so much better than crunchyroll awards where the judges are the ones whose votes really matter. Loving all the events MAL has been doing recently and can't wait to see MAL grow even more. (thanks for the badges, keep giving us more~)

    Blank_Equinox

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 2021 was a fascinating Year for anime, From Masterpiece that Odd Taxi offer to Ex-Arm that keeps the viewer give that always giving for better or for worse (Mostly Worse). Definitely gonna miss 2021 as The Most Busiest anime came for long time.

    Yunohi-kun

  • I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous, I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it. And I made good memories for myself. I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

    P-D-Ace

  • Demon Slayer best fight, Marin chan best girl

    Necune

  • 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.

    Cxy14

  • There are many animes that I have not seen in this list HAHAHA. But of the few that I saw, I feel that I answered them with great sincerity. So I look forward to the results!
