  • "I started off as a beginner anime fan in 2018, but now I have matured in my anime journey and have to come to love all sorts of anime from romance to shonen, something I learnt is that you will never truly know you like something unless you try it yourself"

    Honeyplays12

  • 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

  • It was a good season with its good and bad. I hope to see better ones.

    peeedzeeel

  • amazing year

    AnimeWills

  • The variety and quality of the shows this year are astonishing. If you asked me 20 years ago whether this many anime of this variety would be available in multiple languages, I'd have scoffed at you. But I want to say is that my real answer to all of the queries is 'Frieren!' !!

    VyseLegendaire

    NelsQ

  • 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.

    StOrmOG

  • Just tryna survive this year by escaping reality via anime stuff as a coping mechanism.

  • IGN: 7/10 would animoo again

    hunjiba

  • Was another year dominated by isekai, a genre I'm tired of. However, some series stood out by offering solid character development and unique world-building. Despite the genre's saturation, there were still innovative and fresh takes, making the year a mixed but good experience.

    goldemarine

  • It was like a dark sky, with 6 stars.
