  • 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.

  • A very important quote to me is: “An important thing to remember is, just because a person has problems communicating, doesn't mean that person doesn't want to communicate with others,” hearing this at the onset of each episode made me feel very happy!

    AphroditeZ

  • 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.

  • #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).

  • 2021 was a fascinating Year for anime, From Masterpiece that Odd Taxi offer to Ex-Arm that keeps the viewer give that always giving for better or for worse (Mostly Worse). Definitely gonna miss 2021 as The Most Busiest anime came for long time.
