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.

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.

Having happy and beautiful memories won’t always bring you salvation. The more beautiful a memory is, the more painful it can become.

To be a part of a community that enjoys the medium of anime just like I do makes me happy. This platform has helped me look at different perspectives of a show, make friends, and know what is going on within the anime community. Last year was fun. Hope this year gets better.

I thank the organizers of the poll for unusual categories, as well as fo interesting nominees (and not just top popularity). Its good that even this year anime continues delight us with interesting works, although theres an opinion that the industry is experiencing its stagnation

This year has been amazing and packed but my favourite anime of this year was "Tokyo Revengers", The theme of changing the present by going into the past and the fact that all this was done by a delinquent is just fascinating and Baji's passing made it better and more tragic.
