A great year for anime released, but a sad one because of all the legends that passed away. Here's in remembrance of all those legends, May their souls rest in peace.

The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

#2021 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).
Ironaditya
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!

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!

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

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.

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)
