  • It was my first year watching seasonals and I loved every moment of it 🥹

  • Creepy Nuts has helped me discover a new side of me. Never would I expect to listen to a song with creaking beds and pikmin and stack over 10 hours of Spotify time on them alone. I regret nothing and I look forward to their amazing music!

  • Anime is great :)

    SnuggleP

  • I never watched anime before April 2023. I watched Overlord and started to enjoy watching anime. I already watched a lot of shows until 2024 began but it seems like I watched roughly 6000 episodes in 2024. I don't know how and why, it just happened.

  • As a seasonal anime fan from 2020, i liked this year too. It was nothing sort of too hype but it was a good year though. We got 4 to 5 good shows in each seasons. Pretty fast, this year passed away. I didn't get time to watch many shows but the ones i watched were pretty good.
