I must say that there are couple of good anime this year, but the most anime I liked this year are not in most of the selection. Which I understand, not everyone has the same taste. The best anime that I enjoyed in the year of 2021 is Horimiya because I read the manga which enjoy

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!

The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and the future makes you depressed out of anxiety, so by elimination present is likely the happiest time.

2021, another chapter completed! ? If there's one thing we Anime fans can all agree on; it's the fact that 2021 was one of the best years in the History of the animanga industry. True, the world has never understood our "taste~", but now more than ever can we be proud! To 2022!
