Vivy, ODDTAXI, 86, Mushoku Tensei, Ranking of Kings, and Link Click all in the same year. This was by far the greatest year in anime history, with so many masterpiece shows. (also watch Shadows House, it was very underrated)

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!

I think this year has been an amazing year for anime. It's been a long while since we've had a year where everyone can find something to watch, where every season has something that someone might be into. I'm really excited to see where we can go from here!

All the released anime this year really came like a full course meal; light, heavy, sour, sweet and much more ( even bitter ).

2021 was the year I got into anime and I'm glad I became an anime fan at the perfect year where there were a lot of banger shows each season. It feels really good to be an anime fan and I will be looking forward to what 2022 has in store for us.
