The absolute ingenuity and skill depicted by creators in 2023 made the year a lot bigger for everyone. The incontrovertible power to change lives, depicted by Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen and plenty others has made the year memorable. 2024 will be bigger.

Fireworks by Minda Ryn, from Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion was the best piece of music in any anime of 2023

Bye, 2023. You did good, I suppose, though I’m shocked that somehow the isekai well didn’t finally run dry again this year. Weird, because I could’ve sworn I saw all this year’s quirky smart boys travel to a faraway land three years ago. Who am I kidding, I still watch them too.

2023 May not have been my best year but at least I could watch some fictional characters have the loving relationship I wish I had.

I'm ten billion percent sure, I've strayed, yet further from God : ) Now all I need is a system and a 4th wall to break out of this existence : ) " Man I really wish, I was a cloud, commenting for yearbook every year is such a drag : ( "

We've faced challenges tougher than overpowered protagonists, but we are still standing. As we step into the next realm of existence, may our stats be high, our quests legendary, and our encounters with truck-kun nonexistent. to more epic journeys and fewer filler episodes 🚀
