  • "Tatakae!"

    UnicornPie

  • 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.

  • Anyone has a choice/option to choose but that doesn't mean that you will pick any of them because they look good in our eye's or they have a advantage among all choices/options the one that we must choose was where our hearts will be happy.

  • "All the anime realised this year was amazing as expected from Anime " Some horable mentions 2021:- Re zero second season, Dr stone stone war, Vivy ,To your eternity, Takt op destiny and Demon slayer entertainment destrict.

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

    AzusaGeras26

  • 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.

  • 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.
