There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone.
Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone.
And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

I think this year has been an amazing year for anime. It's been a long while since we've had a year where everyone can find something to watch, where every season has something that someone might be into. I'm really excited to see where we can go from here!

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.

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

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.
