  • Lots of Interesting Animes were published in the year of 2023. I also felt that some of the options were equally good that it was hard to choose. Overall the season of 2023 had quite a major release of anime. It also had a few server break kind of moments for some ongoing anime.

    orf92

  • 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.

  • This year was a okay for new anime. I'm happy to see some of my favs are here, though I think that 'Kikansha no Mahou wa Tokubetsu desu' should've been on the list. even though it didn't, I'm happy with this list and the animes in it. (Mahito & Adonis were unfair to make choose)

    KidCahm009

  • Vash for must protect category 😔🤟🏻

    LuPink

  • Some very good sequels, rewatched some old animes like an idiot. Dont rewatch old series, its very bad for your health. Hope for a very good year of trash isekai, trash romance/slice of life, and sequels to series i loved and hated but still will be watching.
