  • This year we got quantity and quality anime and for that animators deserve all the love and respect in the world.

    Suraj_99

  • This year's roster was quite overwhelming, honestly, to me it felt as explosive as when anime became higher in demand over lockdown, even the less popular titles like Migi to Dali/Migi & Dali somehow were able to blend how I felt about anime this year, nearing perfection.
