  • I never would've imagined that I'd be here right now. However I also don't really go anywhere so where else would I be? Here's to another great year of anime and fun!

  • A lot of amazing anime in 2023. What to say to wrap up 2023- Maybe " I have no enemies"

  • Another excellent year for anime and animation in general, from jujustu kaisen to heavenly delusion to Spider Man ADSV, 2023 met expectations. To all those who went through sleepless nights to make this possible I have six words for you; "Your Efforts Were Not In Vain"

    Rhoidis123

  • 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

    Zach_Eastman6666

  • Jinshi has wasted sex appeal! Maomao says so!

    ireallyamyarn

  • Embracing the quirks, chasing dreams, and living in the anime of life. Class of 2023, our story is just beginning – let's create our own epic adventure!

  • Pluto and frieren ist unfair

    wokedits

  • 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
