  • I like cats, but Bond is my fav dog that I like (I do not like dogs). However, I want to have an animal can look to the future, but I am not sure, because I cannot read other people's mind. But I love look Bond with Anya after all. And some questions are very interesting, thanks.

  • A lot of Isekai came out and I enjoyed 99% of them. Most of the anime had comedy and was never boring. One or two series on psychology was enough to make things interesting.

  • The absolute ingenuity and skill depicted by creators in 2023 made the year a lot bigger for everyone. The incontrovertible power to change lives, depicted by Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen and plenty others has made the year memorable. 2024 will be bigger.

  • Great year for anime.

    amirsayeed

  • Soon, people who describe themselves as otaku may be able to create their own anime personally using AI entirely. Perhaps, the software's name will be 'Personal Anime Studios'.

    Kunaryel

  • imo the selection of nominees in the MAL Yearbook is so much better than the nominations of a certain Anime Awards show (you know which one). Here I don't find myself asking all the time; why wasn't that anime nominated for this category? Also love the fun category titles more :D

    leonrey08

  • This year, there are so many good anime to watch, hopefully next year will be the same. in this nomination, there are many anime that I don't know, so I don't really enjoy this vote, but never mind, I will still use this site as my benchmark to choose which anime I will watch.

    Alvin4134

  • This year's roster was quite overwhelming, honestly, to me it felt as explosive as when anime became higher in demand over lockdown, even the less popular titles like Migi to Dali/Migi & Dali somehow were able to blend how I felt about anime this year, nearing perfection.
