    Cloret

  • 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.

    Brottoy

  • All the released anime this year really came like a full course meal; light, heavy, sour, sweet and much more ( even bitter ).
