  • I watched so much anime this year, but somehow not enough to have more ‘watched’ anime on my MAL profile than my friends… However, I feel that even if I’m drowning in a puddle and my friends are drowning in an ocean, we’re both drowning. I think we all need to go for a walk.

  • New anime fans will always glaze whatever the newest anime is. The scores on my anime list will always reflect this. Please, rank with not only your heart, but your brain too.

  • Shikanoko had a lot of potential before it aired, but I guess sometimes memes are just dreams.

    ScottyNuked

  • In 2024 we had anime about heliocentrism, mutual toxic relationship, some guy losing his balls, a half-human half-deer, cooking dishes with monsters and whatever Uzumaki was. Sounds anime"ish" enough for me.

    PokefanPT

  • This year there were a lot of good anime released, but there were also a lot of weird ones. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that it was a pretty impressive year. I hope there will be more good anime to come and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

    Beehaving

  • For a year with less: Isekai, waifu-bait romcom SoL, power fantasy, reincarnation and idol anime. Then again, that could perhaps remove a majority of the entire year's catalogue; but case in point, overly saturated premises.

    Danpmss
