    kW1N

  • In the year 2024, where every frame was a masterpiece and every story a heartbeat, we lived, we laughed, and we leveled up. The anime world reminded us: Your limits are only the beginning of your legend.

    UniqueOtaku101

  • I'm here to be here, not there!

    regulusgal

  • Anime has taught me that life is full of ups and downs, fun times and sad times, hardships and friendships. But it also taught me that life is the best thing you have to live for, so use it how you want to.

    hurum

  • In 2024 we had anime about heliocentrism, mutual toxic relationship, some guy losing his balls, a half-human half-deer, cooking dishes with monsters and whatever Uzumaki was. Sounds anime"ish" enough for me.

    PokefanPT

  • "In this world, wherever there is light, there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars, and hatred is born to protect love." - Madara Uchiha (Naruto Shippuden)

  • 2024 is less-anime to me. That watching My Hero Academia is finally peak, after season 4 fallen apart. Demon Slayer still interesting animated series from last year. Mushoku Tensei just had recently heartbreaking, Father’s Day Incident And DandaDan’s fans just broke the internet.
