  • 2021 was my first year with MAL. And all these great anime made it so much more memorable. I hope all other years are as great as this. Also best romance show of this year were horimiya and tonikawa.

  • #2021 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).

  • This year has been amazing and packed but my favourite anime of this year was "Tokyo Revengers", The theme of changing the present by going into the past and the fact that all this was done by a delinquent is just fascinating and Baji's passing made it better and more tragic.
