  • An alchemist crafting magic from mundane, a storyteller painting our souls with inspiration. In life's grand narrative, it's not just a chapter; it's the heartbeat, melody, and everlasting friend making the journey extraordinary. Cheers to anime—changing us, one frame at a time.

  • This year has been a less memorable year for me. In each season, there are some anime that are too dominant (Sosou no Frieren, Oshi No Ko, Kimetsu). Composition between anime romance and action are very unbalanced. Hopefully in 2024, more anime will be stable. Yohohoho

  • 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
