To be real, mushoku tensei s2 also has a good opening so it should be gibven a change. Even oshi no ko/my star has the best openign/ending in 2023 so far acc to me.

A new dawn in a timeless setting evokes the renewal each day brings, an invitation to embrace life's journey. As dusk settles, the garden becomes a haven for contemplation, echoing the timeless quest for serenity within.

2023 was a great year to be an anime fan! Can’t wait for all that 2024 has to offer!

Some ppl call anime a mistake and trash But for me, for us its something more than "chinnese cartoons" Anime can make my mood, feel better, can motivate, it can make me happy, angry or even cry. Thats normal cartoon but its change lives.

Whoever thought there would be zombie dance that would beat thriller for Halloween. It was a year of laughter, romance, thrills, adventures, murders, trips that were out of this world literally. Seeing old and new friends and making memories.

Not a bad year to be an otaku at all. 2023 brought a good amount of memorable Comforting shows along with a ton of generic ones. Still waiting for 'Anime Originals' to shine more in the upcoming years.Good to see some unexpected sequel announcements though.
BeetleR19d
My New Boss Is Goofy deserves to have more viewers, it's such a feel good anime after a difficult day.

In 2023 I beat cancer twice and it might not be the last time I have to, unfortunately. Anyone who is going through something similar, best of luck to you, you'll get through it! Sincerely wish everyone to stay healthy so we can all enjoy anime for years to come. <3

Over the years, anime production has grown and with the weight of interesting and unusual story content, thanks to the work of the studios who always try to give their best and I am proud to be able to watch their work, thank you all for doing your best!

Years come and go but this year was unique and special (you are my specialz) especially so for the whole anime community as a whole. Many new weebs, veterans were born. At the end of the day whole community and all the anime we watched made our year better. Note: Touch grass tooo
