  • It's all about animation and story...

    lmaysh

  • The absolute ingenuity and skill depicted by creators in 2023 made the year a lot bigger for everyone. The incontrovertible power to change lives, depicted by Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen and plenty others has made the year memorable. 2024 will be bigger.

  • An amazing year for anime, and as we start with 2024, I hope we get more moments we can enjoy, relate to, cry to, and share with the people we love the most. Can't wait to see what the coming year has in store for us!

    fuyuko1011

  • Well, there are many extraordinary anime in 2023. But for me personally there are 2 that are the most memorable, sousou no frieren and maomao of course. I didn't expect to like it Even though I hate the historical genre and Frieren is really an extraordinary isekai anime

    Rinn0421

  • 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.

  • This may not be the year we deserved but this is the year we had.

    Mucharetsu

  • It was a very good year, with many surprises on some anime unknown before their broadcast. As for the anime that had a new season or were simply continuing, it was also very good! (Long live the end of Wano). We hope 2024 will be just as good.

  • If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then Im one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then thats me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means Im no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I'm against the world.
