  • I believed that Eastern animation could offer the pinnacle of direction, story-telling, and pure Sakuga art. I believed that it was misunderstood like A Silent Voice. Under-appreciated like Grave of the Fireflies. Then I watched Ex-Arm and now I don’t know what to think at all.

  • 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!

    Nyanko-senpai

  • There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone. Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone. And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

  • 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.
