Most of the anime that aired on 2021 are incredible boring but few are memorable . This is a good year for some legendary series.
I have lot's of expectation anime that gonna airing on 2022 .

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.

I'm just grateful for all the animes, mangas, songs and to everyone making all these incredible and amazing piece of art. In 2021, we all were recovering from something in one way or another and anime played a big part in healing.To everyone making this possible, Minna Arigatou!

This year is a pretty good year for anime. We've got some amazing new shows like Mushoku Tensei, Ousama Ranking, Odd Taxi & 86. But we also got some shit like Mid Hero season 6, Bronze End and Ex-Arm. This year was a fun rollercoaster and I'm hoping that 2022 will be even better.

Komi-san the most overrated anime ever. Manga might be good but the anime just not it chief. Fight me.
Ogiwara Sayu best girl!
Horimiya and Higehiro best animes of 2021 hands down.

With so many anime that, instead of pandering to trendy stuff, were more like passion projects, 2021 made me feel "Anime is getting good again". Oddtaxi, Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi, Sonny Boy and Heike Monogatari made the year much more enjoyable.

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 :)

To Your Eternity was the saddest anime this year. Shaking and crying rn.

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

most of these characters are quite unique and from my POV their backstory is what makes them who the are and it's interesting seeing different animes having their characters have to go through difficult and happy moments in way it shows how they can change their personality
