This year's anime have been hype! From action anime like Attack on Titan to romance like Horimiya or sport animes like Sk8 and isekai like Mushouku Tensei. Even the chill comedic anime like Dragon Maid S or Jahy Sama. All of them make me sit at the edge of my seat! Thank You!

The international community here on MAL is close and amazing, whether you bond over the same anime or manga taste; I think we can all agree that MAL gives us all the opportunity to share our passions. Kampai to more beautiful years :)
PS. Love & Strength to those who need it

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 ^^

Excited for all the anime releasing this year ???

Everything is amazing with its quantity and quality. While I haven't seen many productions, the ones I have seen were great, and my anticipation of the episode itself was a lot of fun (and impatience). Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this year so amazing!

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.
