  • What are these nominees? The most no name anime I've ever seen. Like who watches every 0815 anime with 5-7/10 star reviews? I dont need One Piece or Naruto but at least something that people actually have watched. I couldnt vote for most of the nominees...

  • This year was an interesting year for me as I usually only watch isekia's but I decided to give a couple romance animes a shot and now I can't stop watching them even if they leave me an emotional wreak afterwards.

    Fangedviper

  • Many captivating animes appeared this year. And many votes that were too hard to distinguish between whos the most fitting for the vote. But with the amount of rediculous titles i can say this year deserves the corniest 4 seasons of anime of all time. And i enjoyed it
