I believed that Eastern animation could offer the pinnacle of direction, story-telling, and pure Sakuga art. I believed that it was misunderstood like A Silent Voice. Under-appreciated like Grave of the Fireflies.
Then I watched Ex-Arm and now I don’t know what to think at all.

When there is nothing in life, when you feel down and you feel like there is nothing you can do, you can always turn to anime to make you feel high in life and then sad, then happy again, and then sad again...I don't know, watch anime I guess.

#2021 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).

It's been one hell of a year, though I can't really remember what happend since my memory sucks. It seems like sequels and isekai are the most prominent anime this year, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a sucker for fantasy anime. I just hope 2022 will be an even better year.

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.
