2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous,
I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it.
And I made good memories for myself.
I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

2021's Year of Anime is very much akin to 2021 as a whole. It gave us moments of joy, of excitement and sometimes even moved us to tears! But most notably it had a lot of garbage that you could only really laugh about.
