I thank the organizers of the poll for unusual categories, as well as fo interesting nominees (and not just top popularity). Its good that even this year anime continues delight us with interesting works, although theres an opinion that the industry is experiencing its stagnation

Watching anime is a lot of fun. But what's more fun is to be able to share our anime discussions & cute anime screenshots moment together with my myanimelist friend & DIscord friend. My enjoyment for cute anime will never end!

Pandasiar

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!

Korixus

Hope next year gets even better! Thanks to everyone for creating stuff like this and keeping MAL as the best community (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و

minsssk

I really appreciate the idea of putting up a lot of the obscure shows that came out in the categories unlike most of the anime based award shows held recently, it really goes to show that the nominees were being selected based on the genuine enjoyment they offered and that's it.

Kazou-nozumu689

It’s all just a blur.

Megge06

Tokyo revengers was the best this year in my opinion

There is no greater happiness and peace than sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and watching this year's anime with your loved ones, creating memes, even crying sometimes but also admiring, learning and being enchanted ...

_swh_

The community behind the anime is like icing on the cake; irreplaceable and comes in all sorts to enjoy!

I've watched many anime in my life, many good, many bad. Many that were wrong to the source, and some that out shined the source. From the years of struggling to find anime, to now it is everywhere. I am glad ^w^.

Girls are just temporary but anime are eternal and forever!

Kids say the darndest things. Why do they teach them in kindergarten how to (do) stand-up!

ChadtheChampion

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.

Yunohi-kun

i must say, tokyo revengers was so depressing i started calling is tokyo depressengers. 10/10, especially the manga.

The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

The most memorable anime line: "tatakae. Tatakae. TATAKAE!" —Eren Yeager, friend and son

The year sucked but rocked. I watched anime till I drop. I think I'm dead but alive. I could become the definition of contradiction.

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.

A good anime doesn't need to have beautiful animation. It can be the most average looking animation but an interesting idea.

I'm thankful for Anime & Mangas being part of my life. Things wouldn't be the same without so many passionate and creative people who're giving life to characters we can relate to and creating marvelous stories for us to experience. It is truly wonderful, to say the least.
