  • Anime's just been Anime as always. I love it and that'll never change

    Otaku178

  • They thought anime troupes and stuff had been overdone but this year proved yet again that an anime can still be entertaining no matter how much overdone troupe. This year, studio Doga Kobo came out with the best animation anime has to offer with Oshi no ko and Roshidere.

    JosuKami

  • This year was truly special. I watched more anime and read more manga than ever! Highlights include Re:Zero, Evangelion, Konosuba, Code Geass, Look Back, Saekano, Dandadan, Chi Chikyuu, and Bleach. I also started collecting manga, with Chainsaw Man being my first!

    Toran26

  • Thanks Anime for making every year amazing

    Alsierra

  • This has been a weird year for anime. We've had some bangers (Re:Zero S3, DanDaDan, etc.) but we've also had one of the worst flops in anime history (Uzumaki). I hope one day Junji Ito's works can be adapted into anime the way they deserve...

    XBLOYT

    LordMacD

    Ka1tso2

  • Lv 99 Yumiella and Villainess Alicia was in the same year? 🤯 Shikanoko should've had 5min episodes. It could be amazing! But instead, I dropped it 😔 I should learn Japanese quick, and start watching shows at 2x speed. Tons of great anime to watch, limited time in days...

    Santibag

  • What an amazing year for anime!

    YouWinGG

    Neutral64

  • Might be hot garbage, but it was hot.

    Kikoeruwu

  • I love Christian

    MinnesotaGrapple

  • 2024 was such a mixed bag animewise. I wonder what 2025 will bring. "That time I was reincarnated as an American President, and used my smartphone to turn the White House into a 99 level dungeon"? Wouldn't put it past them.

    lycoping

  • "anime is life" - an 'anime is life' quoter

    wiszonic

  • Bochichaaan!

    BocchiCraft

  • Decent year, Dandadan sweeps

    zanemazza

  • Anime is such a amazing thing that can boil your blood due to anticipation, gain knowledge about story's upon story's without even reading a story book, learn to Imaginate out of the box, kill time and escape from boredom which this world has to offer. Truly Anime is Magnificent!

    AKA_LC

    ProfessorGlide

  • Only in 2024 you can find a guy wanting to die in another world but can't, a guy that can kill anything even truck-kun, brainrot and a grandma that wants to gobble a minors weenie. oh, I forgot incest

    faitel_dragon

  • This one's trash tastes knows no bounds, as this one shall sample watch every single Isekais in this whole world until this one finds the almighty golden one! This one shall also indulge in some romance comedy, in secret of course, since that would tarnish this one's reputation!

    Filiponio

  • One Piece isn't done yet, neither should you. Keep going forward!

    SPCTRE

  • A true ninja isn't measured by the battles they win, but by the strength to rise when their world crumbles. Even when no one believes in you, stand tall—because that's when you'll prove you never needed saving.

    MagicVIT

  • On fire!

    LaEstoica

  • If I complete and anime tomorrow, why should I complete it today.

  • It's not every day you see a driver who works his car better than his own feet, but when you do, you can tell by the aura coming off of the car.

    Wolfey171
