  • I ate a cat.

    N0NAMEAV

  • 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.

    Vincentzrs

  • 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

    eequaled

  • If you like animes you can be my pal, If you are a otaku... You can be todo. Happy New Year

    rafeellls
