The temptation to give up is a common one, and nobody is exempt. Failure isn't something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it's a common human condition, we're somehow always surprised when it happens to us.

This year was a good year.

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.

What a wonderful year of anime! What else can I say? We had a ton of new and returning titles with hooking stories to tell. On top of we were also introduced to many entertaining characters. Not to mention all the banger openings. Next. Let's see what 2024 has to offer.

This year was very special to me because I was able to watch some great animes in this year. The best anime of the year for me is "Oshi no Ko" undoubtedly.

If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then Im one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then thats me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means Im no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I'm against the world.

I watch too much shows, I can’t even remember half of them until I look at my list.

theres no genre called "native isekai", the only right genre is called "fantasy"

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"

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.
