  • Make Call of the Night season 2, 3, and 4, so I can stop being depressed about the manga ending.

  • Anime is so good!

    DaiDussss

  • Nah I’d win

    Phakawat

  • 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

  • This year's anime is a banger, many interesting new series and many good sequel series. I hope anime for 2024 will be even better whether it's a new series or a sequel to a series that has been released before

  • This year has been a great time to be an anime fan, we had a lot of selections to watch and every season was enjoyable and had atleast one Anime I'd look back on.Yet the one Anime that stands above all for me will be Vinland Saga S2 and for romance it'd be the Dangers in my Heart

  • Anime is not just something we watch; it is something that is part of our identity. Anime is a way for us to express ourselves. It is a way to connect with others and share our passion for something meaningful. Anime is a reflection of who we are. Never forget that.
