  • 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.

  • 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.
