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.

In 2021, we learned from anime that adulthood sucks, dragons must also pay their taxes like good citizens, being undead does not have to stop you from being a good parent, former yakuza make great homemakers, and to never forget the tale of the Heike. A splendid year indeed!

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)
