  • Best year for manga readers

    Goldfish_202

  • Some ppl call anime a mistake and trash But for me, for us its something more than "chinnese cartoons" Anime can make my mood, feel better, can motivate, it can make me happy, angry or even cry. Thats normal cartoon but its change lives.

  • 2023 was one heck of a rollercoaster ride! Romance, action, comedy - you name it. All in all, it was a fantastic year for anime, and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us anime fans! Bring on the epic battles, tear-jerking moments, and side-splitting laughs!

    Shamblecorpse

  • Anime is sin, anime is trash I dont put scores because all animes are 10s and all are 0s, anime is the physical embodiment of sins and even tho it feels good, still is trash because is a sin and sins feels good but also are bad so 10/10 and 0/10

  • The year 2023 had the least number of trash shows! I was bombarded with unexpected sequels but watched them all. So I can say it with confidence that, 2023 was an ultimate year for animes!

    Mew2003

  • 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

  • People will keep saying "This is the year for anime" each year at this rate, just look at these candidates. It's very hard to choose from either ;-:

    DokiDonut

  • This year's roster was quite overwhelming, honestly, to me it felt as explosive as when anime became higher in demand over lockdown, even the less popular titles like Migi to Dali/Migi & Dali somehow were able to blend how I felt about anime this year, nearing perfection.
