  • Had a good year 😌

    Hikki_2307

  • 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.

  • 2023 was a hard year. Losing family members, taking an exam which determines my future and college, but I'm glad I didn't stop watching anime even though I thought of doing so. I'm starting to understand why people tend to like wholesome/cute animes as they age lol. Thank You!
