  • The year 2023 was really something. This year some of the most anticipated shows came and some ended. Although I enjoyed this year with whole heartedly. I still remember some shows which were simply awesome and beautiful too.

  • Soon, people who describe themselves as otaku may be able to create their own anime personally using AI entirely. Perhaps, the software's name will be 'Personal Anime Studios'.

    J0haan

  • 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.

    TULUM123

  • I am the bone of my sword!! Steel is my body and Fire is my blood.

    Tokoya

  • 2023 was the best year in term of both anime and movies, in comparison 2024 feels lackluster. Hope it gets better. AOT ended, jujutsu kaisen s3 ended, gojo died, nanami died, emma(toko revengers) died, ai hoshino died. goodluck to me for 2024.

    WangLing720

  • I've spent to much time on anime. There are people with more time but that's not a good thing. Still love anime though. For better or worse.

  • Some very good sequels, rewatched some old animes like an idiot. Dont rewatch old series, its very bad for your health. Hope for a very good year of trash isekai, trash romance/slice of life, and sequels to series i loved and hated but still will be watching.

    Plaxtha

  • Not a bad year to be an otaku at all. 2023 brought a good amount of memorable Comforting shows along with a ton of generic ones. Still waiting for 'Anime Originals' to shine more in the upcoming years.Good to see some unexpected sequel announcements though.
