    HappyCat2004

  • Vinland saga, I consider it as the best anime of 2023 including pluto, sousou no frieren etc. So far spring season was the best season for me at this point of view it was the best. Even the fall season was not that bad. So far pluto was the best one no argument.

  • This year has been a less memorable year for me. In each season, there are some anime that are too dominant (Sosou no Frieren, Oshi No Ko, Kimetsu). Composition between anime romance and action are very unbalanced. Hopefully in 2024, more anime will be stable. Yohohoho
