    Shokaki

  • 2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

    WakandaMan4Lif

  • Goddamn was this year good, for anime. Not so much for me or anyone, DUH

    LordHetmanix2077

  • Komi-san the most overrated anime ever. Manga might be good but the anime just not it chief. Fight me. Ogiwara Sayu best girl! Horimiya and Higehiro best animes of 2021 hands down.

  • Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's, an indie horror game that you guys suggested, in mass, and I saw that Yamimash played it and he said it was really really good... So I'm very eager to see what is up.

    AaronTheBaron

  • 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.

    XxSinpaixX

  • I started watching anime in August 2021 But man i enjoyed watching romance ! I hope 2022 will be way better

  • Another year, another quarantine. BUT WITH MUCH MORE ANIME. Thank you anime for making it so much more bearable.

    NummyNummers

  • 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.

    Paperphoenix1907

  • 2021 is AMAZING.

  • Pride is admirable, but if pride is taken too far it becomes bitter arrogance.

    C_Par

  • 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.
