I must say that there are couple of good anime this year, but the most anime I liked this year are not in most of the selection. Which I understand, not everyone has the same taste. The best anime that I enjoyed in the year of 2021 is Horimiya because I read the manga which enjoy

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!

When somebody ask me ''why is Fairy Tail your favorite anime"
i only have one answer ''because it makes me forget that i don't have anybody who wants to real be with me. And Fairy Tail is about friendship and i want what they have ''

Back in September of this year I started getting into anime, starting with MHA, (which I still have a soft spot for btw) and the most recent anime I've watched was Bleach. At the beginning of this year I decided to take a break from anime, but Akira is next. Keep watching anime!

Anime is an integral part of my life, it's like I'm addicted to it and it is what keeps me sane these days. I can't go even a day without watching at least 1 ep of an anime. You could say that anime has saved me and it is saving many more people every day. I'm thankful to Japan.
