  • Anime have taught me so many things I won't forget.. One of those was so great that I still can remember and that was - "You shouldn’t die for your friends.. You should live for them..Because that's what leads to a future of happiness"..

  • 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…

  • There were a couple of anime that took me by surprise this year. My Happy Marriage, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, as well as A Girl and Her Guard Dog. Then there's the remake of Rurouni Kenshin that I still don't know how to feel about. Looking forward to another year of awesome anime!

    Aritree

  • This year, there are so many good anime to watch, hopefully next year will be the same. in this nomination, there are many anime that I don't know, so I don't really enjoy this vote, but never mind, I will still use this site as my benchmark to choose which anime I will watch.
