So much anime, so little time! I hope that MAL friends, staff, and I can always enjoy anime no matter how busy we are and thanks to all the staff from all the studios for your hard work, anime keeps getting better every year. Hope everything always goes well and is fun for us!

2021 was a very dry season for anime. 2022 is already looking good though, so here's to a great anime year in 2022!

Many strong releases with diverse and wonderful shows, perfectly suited for entertaining us while we were staying at home :)

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

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.

I hope more people can come to know and enjoy anime in the coming year as well~ but most importantly, let's all have fun watching it ^^

2021 is AMAZING.

In 2021, we learned from anime that adulthood sucks, dragons must also pay their taxes like good citizens, being undead does not have to stop you from being a good parent, former yakuza make great homemakers, and to never forget the tale of the Heike. A splendid year indeed!
