  • Best year for manga readers

    Goldfish_202

  • 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.

  • It's come and it's gone but we can always rewatch it.

    Engriezer22

  • It was a spectacular year for anime fans, with a lot of bangers (and other stuff too of course). However I missed some deep and true romance stories this year, but that's a good thing, since my heart is still very healthy xD.

  • 2023 was yet another great year for anime! Here's to another year full of mind-blowing, hair-raising, side-splitting, spine-tingling, and jaw-dropping shows!

    Joxir

    Perphon

  • 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.

    gabfive

  • Life is about two things: drinking milk and watching funny things on your TV. At least MAL helps with the latter.

    Snorachu

  • jjk season 2 was the most diabolical anime the sheer level of destruction, violence, killing of the main cast, and most of all the level of disrespect some of the character choose to do.

    stuffthatscool

  • I love drinking chilled milk!!!!

    SaadN

  • Bleach>Mom Dad Sister Brother One Piece

  • Jujutsu Kaisen ruined my life

    Sairinn

  • It too sad because that I can only choose one option. It is hard to choose one, so many anime in this options have cute couples, nice op/ed, character to have memes. These all anime are worth to watch some are relaxing and some are comedic and some have intense fighting scene.

    Dummyking

  • Solid year. Here's to a better year ahead!!🔥🔥

    Russelyo

  • Suffering builds character

    JoachimHurtig

    0samudaza1

  • This year's demon slayer was mid. Anyone who likes this season should brothel & cross-dress themselves like our 3 MC's did last season.

    jaxjax2234

  • Most I chose are series I watched bit that doesn't change my feelings about them. They were all bangers

    Infinte_Striker

  • Uhh, I reccomend 'the 100 Girlfriends' that was shockingly good for this year, looking forward to 2024. If Frieren manages to stay top 10 I'll be impressed, hope it continues to be great in the episodes coming!!

    Sombrero-Batta

  • One piece is real

    sDluffy

  • While choosing the options, I realized that I haven't watched anime this year. All the options were foreign to me (°Д°)

    Free_Roam

  • The year passed by very quickly and we're spoon-fed a lot of top notch anime. Surely by now we all know Fullmetal Alchemist isn't actually the best of all time :)
