There were a couple of anime that took me by surprise this year. My Happy Marriage, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, as well as A Girl and Her Guard Dog. Then there's the remake of Rurouni Kenshin that I still don't know how to feel about. Looking forward to another year of awesome anime!

Anime are such a great way to deal with boredom and free time. Having such a amazing website like MAL, you get to find so much. I love the big selection and information you can find here. Lets all be a great community and bring MAL to new heights.

Frieren was just a fire anime for this year, very logically, world mapping is really good, has a atmosphare like a Violet Evergarden, the roles of characters are very good, has a pretty good plot😁 over all, it was a good anime

This year come with a remarkable anime from great studios with top notch quality of anime and it is still pretty impressive to see an old anime came back from 30 years ago with bunch of surprise and being another great year of an anime.

It too sad because that I can only choose one option. It is hard to choose one, so many anime in this options have cute couples, nice op/ed, character to have memes. These all anime are worth to watch some are relaxing and some are comedic and some have intense fighting scene.
