  • This year, the anime production was decent, we had isekai, romance and very good sequels. But I think people had too high expectations from certain anime, and were disappointed about it.

  • Anime is a gateway to dreaming big and living without regrets. It inspires many to chase their dreams, to never give up, and embrace our emotions. So in this new year, make sure to keep dreaming, keep fighting, and most importantly, believe in yourself and stay true to your heart
