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:

Anime was the most beautiful thing which I discovered in 2021.It truly changed my life in many different ways. Today I am able to think from a different point of view all thanks to the amazing characters. It made me laugh hysterically and at times it made me cry. Thankyou Anime.

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.

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.
