  • 2023 has showbiz, unknown worlds, a elfic journey, chaos in Shibuya, more isekai, the ascension of the Villainess theme and the more importantly: Lots and lots of bangers who make this year, one of the best years for anime in recent memory.

  • Well I am just starting my anime journey, but just a note for my future self, the shows that left the biggest impression on me this year were shows from the past - OG EVA, Sonny boy and CSM. For this year JJK2 was the craziest ride so far. So much anime to catch up to btw)

    Sapega

  • I hope to watch all the anime that is released

    rrota_rrona

  • imo the selection of nominees in the MAL Yearbook is so much better than the nominations of a certain Anime Awards show (you know which one). Here I don't find myself asking all the time; why wasn't that anime nominated for this category? Also love the fun category titles more :D

    Ckea

  • This was such a remarkable year for anime from Luffy's epic Gear Five to Jujutsu Kaisen's jaw dropping Shibuya Incident. These really are the best times to live in for an anime fan.

  • Bye, 2023. You did good, I suppose, though I’m shocked that somehow the isekai well didn’t finally run dry again this year. Weird, because I could’ve sworn I saw all this year’s quirky smart boys travel to a faraway land three years ago. Who am I kidding, I still watch them too.
