  • 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!

  • Anime gets better and worse every year. Not just because the standard are getting higher but we as a community become more brain dead as we move forward.

  • 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

  • Even when you think you've watched a lot of simulcast anime in a year, MAL and the anime community will pull the rug from under you. Also, The Elusive Samurai and Dandadan were the best new anime of the year.

  • If your favorite didn’t win, don’t worry—just like any good shounen protagonist, there’s always next season! Voting in MAL Yearbook was the closest thing to being in an anime tournament arc. Except instead of fighting for glory, we were battling over which OP slapped the hardest.
