Anime is an integral part of my life, it's like I'm addicted to it and it is what keeps me sane these days. I can't go even a day without watching at least 1 ep of an anime. You could say that anime has saved me and it is saving many more people every day. I'm thankful to Japan.

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^.

EX-ARM is a masterpiece,Dogeza de Tanondemita is the most wholesome show of the season and the most consistent show is undoubtedly " B :The Beginning Succession
Jokes aside this years was better than the last one(at least in terms of anime )
best shows were SNK and BLUE PERIOD

And I made good memories for myself.
I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

This year I enjoyed Tokyo Revengers the most. I must say, at first I thought the anime was amazing until I read the manga - and absolutely fell in love with the story and characters! Thank you MAL for recommending TR to me! c:

There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone.
Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone.
And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

Nonstop top-tier anime every season were just amazing....

It was just amazing!!!

The last year was fun! I somehow managed to watch 6 anime in 4 days... Well! My favorite anime of 2021 is definitely Durarara. I hope this year brings a lot of good anime as well!

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!
