  • I'm so happy!!!

  • 2023 passed by so fast like "Bleach"! "Oshi no ko" felt like "Tengoku" & "Jigoku", "Jujutsu Kaisen" had a "Dark Gathering", but despite all that "I have no enemies" & I'm at peace like "Frieren".

    angel66666

  • Great anime productions aired this year, but there was too little time to watch them all. Hopefully next year will be as fruitful as the previous one and will bring more free time to enjoy watching at least some of them with new energy and passion!

  • I love the Nettspend the Virginia grim reaper

    Infinite_Bigmac

  • Watching Anime gives me life lessons I never knew I needed, the bonus is I watch new a different characters go through things and come out better in the end. There’s always something new and different it’s exciting to see what will come out next.

    Lance-Karma

  • Vinland saga, I consider it as the best anime of 2023 including pluto, sousou no frieren etc. So far spring season was the best season for me at this point of view it was the best. Even the fall season was not that bad. So far pluto was the best one no argument.

  • 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.

    Jaynautovic

  • The best anime is the anime that brings the storyline forward better. The point is that trash harem anime and SoL anime are the best.
