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

I will be honest , I didn't expected much from this year's anime shows, I don't have words to express , some animes had a good ending ,some had a wholesome one and other's were just perfect, I can't wait for the new one's to come and I don't want to forget what had gone.

Filled with disasters from Covid to Ex-Arm, 2021 has come to an end :). Although filled with some nasty flops and disasters the "Face" of Bojji, "Mehness" of Odokawa, "Animation" of Mushoku Tensei (and KnY) and much more has lifted up 2021 to another great year for anime :)
lollipOOOp
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.
TsutanaiFuun
Mushoku Tensei was one of the Best Anime out this Year period.
MVP_Varun
2021 was a year to behold for anime. The animators put their heart into their work like Vivy did with her singing. Give these overworked heroes a round of applause!

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.

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.

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
