  • Bye, 2023. You did good, I suppose, though I’m shocked that somehow the isekai well didn’t finally run dry again this year. Weird, because I could’ve sworn I saw all this year’s quirky smart boys travel to a faraway land three years ago. Who am I kidding, I still watch them too.

    AssortedCheese

  • 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

  • Calling a person a child for watching anime is like calling someone a baby for drinking milk. As long as no one gets hurt, people are allowed to consume whatever they desire. I'm glad I learned that because now I watch my shows without having to worry about what people may say.
