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

anandasaetang

at first, I was scared to become an anime fan. I didn't want to be called "uwu anime sussy baka". ... this year I've completed my 100th series and discovered more about myself > because of Japanese animations of course

This year not only gave me fantastic shows to view but it also gave me an addiction to seasonals. I'm still trying to figure out if that was a good thing.

2021 was a very dry season for anime. 2022 is already looking good though, so here's to a great anime year in 2022!

OrbitalForce

Filled with disasters from Covid to Ex-Arm, 2021 has come to an end :). Although filled with some nasty flops and disasters the "Face" of Bojji, "Mehness" of Odokawa, "Animation" of Mushoku Tensei (and KnY) and much more has lifted up 2021 to another great year for anime :)

lollipOOOp

What a banger year

2021 was a great year for anime and lets hope 2022 is the same Also oddtaxi and fruits basket are best anime of 2021

Since it's for 2021. All my actual votes go for Gintama movie 2021. 2022 will be sad year without Sorachi-sensei. :/

Over the past two years, the world has changed indescribably. But one thing that hasn't changed - the warmth, the creativity and the talent of our anime community. Thank you for everything!

kyon981

I will always move forward if i can. If I can't i will think again.

Afieqq

2021 was a year to behold for anime. The animators put their heart into their work like Vivy did with her singing. Give these overworked heroes a round of applause!

DeliveryDiverge

I guess it was a pretty good year.
