  • 2023 was a great year to be an anime fan! Can’t wait for all that 2024 has to offer!

  • What are these nominees? The most no name anime I've ever seen. Like who watches every 0815 anime with 5-7/10 star reviews? I dont need One Piece or Naruto but at least something that people actually have watched. I couldnt vote for most of the nominees...

  • This year of anime was a rollercoaster of excitement and emotions. I almost overdid it on my watching per season. But those that I didn't watch are on the Binge when I have time list. Great mix bag of anime this year.

  • 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.
