  • Watching anime is getting easier, especially in my region, there are many official/legal platforms that provide anime, hopefully in the future anime information sources will be more interactive and available in many languages.

  • Thanks to MAL staff and fellow MAL users for making 2021 great! May your futures be as bright as your anime-watching rooms should be. May your hearts be as warm as the fabled MAL hoodie might be. May season 2022 of our era be as wonderful as we'd like it to be!
