  • A great year for Romance, Comedy and Slice of Life. There were many good ones beyond the popular ones. The OP and EDs were top-class. One of greatest years in indie anime history. Looking forward to 2024 to replicate the same. Ara~ ara~ sayonara~

  • 2023 was by far my best anime year, I achieved and discovered a lot. I have watched the entire bleach series, I got to witness my favorite anime "shingeki no kyojin" end in a magnificent way, and I got to watch a lot of seasonal anime that cheered me up during my lowest days…

    Adopii

  • Why "Oshi no Ko" is not nominated as best anime of the year list ?

    Inlighted0Varsh

  • 2023 has showbiz, unknown worlds, a elfic journey, chaos in Shibuya, more isekai, the ascension of the Villainess theme and the more importantly: Lots and lots of bangers who make this year, one of the best years for anime in recent memory.

    TuduTumru

  • 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.

    Eplease
