  • What are these nominees? The most no name anime I've ever seen. Like who watches every 0815 anime with 5-7/10 star reviews? I dont need One Piece or Naruto but at least something that people actually have watched. I couldnt vote for most of the nominees...

    Lunoki

  • I ate a cat.

    N0NAMEAV

  • Voting for this yearbook sucks. Jujitsu Kaisen would literally win like all of these categories and the only thing it has his Mahito to vote for. Also where is my Vinland Saga representation? The two best animes of this year and next to nothing.

    Vincentzrs

  • 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

    eequaled

  • If you like animes you can be my pal, If you are a otaku... You can be todo. Happy New Year

  • “I’ll stop by once in a while” - Frieren. Is so real for me because I am so preoccupied with what’s in front of me that I forget, I need to keep up with other people in life too.

    Spiciu

  • Nothing need to be written I have no complain regarding any anime but one think and that It's my need to watch anime one more reason I like anime because I love history and there is connection between them like old stories of different places that are been used in anime Ok Bye
