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!

2021 was such a beautiful year for anime and by that I mean how many beautiful animes have been released. God that I'm thankful that my friends introduced me to it several years ago. Have a nice year

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.

The laws of space and time dictate that in 24 hours you can only physically watch 60 episodes of anime. That didn't stop me from completing One Piece in 3 days.

Some characters are swords made to defend, and some shields made to attack. But when the time comes they can finally do what they were made for. Attack or defend.

I have learned absolutely nothing this year, but I will not lie, it was a fun one. Watching anime has definitely been my favorite time waster. If this gets put in the year book, just know, to anyone reading this- There was no mistake when we discovered anime.

2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

pretty dang good year, huh?

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.
