So many anime so little time

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.

Kielbaska

Anime... Sure if a hell of a thing huh, I'm glad i fell down this rabbit hole.

Laaleet

I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous, I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it. And I made good memories for myself. I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

Being an anxiety patient I know I can't kick it out of life but Anime has helped me lot to get through it at every step. So I'm so grateful for anime to exist.

badabass

I think this year has been an amazing year for anime. It's been a long while since we've had a year where everyone can find something to watch, where every season has something that someone might be into. I'm really excited to see where we can go from here!

MyAnimeList has a better Anime Awards section than Crunchyroll, unironically.

idk what to say, but uh, there's just one thing i can say in here. keep living your life and don't ever forget that the "anime" is here for you.

notshiro17

Great year for anime and manga in general!

DarkHumor04

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.

Brottoy

I've seen enough, I hope next year will surprise me !!!

prima_rd

I cant believe that we lived in an era the we got to see EX ARM. What a time to be alive!

Jenga

And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!

Mushoku Tensei was the gold, crunchyroll prolly had the worst anime of the year awards this year but its not gonna stop me from loving Mushoku Tensei.

I have learned that, if you ever read a summary for an anime and think 'Might be good/ maybe, but I do not know if it is for me' ... WATCH AT LEAST 3 EPISODES OF IT! I have found that some of my new favorites by following this guide line.

Moriarty the Patriot was such an amazing anime of all . It displayed a beautiful image of the discrimination between Earls and oppressed.
