  • Anime is more than a form of entertainment; it is an intricate tapestry of art, emotion, and philosophy. It captures the essence of human experience in ways that transcend cultural boundaries, speaking to the universal truths that bind us all.

    Xuthar

  • Brainrot anime is here to stay

    Keeeppp

  • A year of pure romances, and I rank them based on how lonely I feel after each episode. The second season of The dangers in my heart made me sink to a new level a depression. It is truly a war crime that it is a nominee for neither best romance or cutest couple.

  • Still not over Frieren

    Derrt_

  • The greatest glory in living, lies not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall.

  • Stayed up watching late-night anime again? You never learn do you, you sacrifice sleep to watch your anime and then snooze through school. What’s the point? - Alya from: Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

    SnowRem

  • They should had Dr. Stone on there you learn a lot about science on that show

    AnimeLas27

  • shikanoko was a disappointment

    Noctera_

  • Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is so far underrated. Blurin from Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is a cute and reliable companion. #12 "Shun Miller + Byakuya Mimori" seem the cutest together. Shinmai Ossan Boukensha has great manly action and an awesome passionate opening song

    Garaphanca

  • You are absolute!

  • I hope there’s less talking in anime. It’s boring when there’s so much, especially like ‘Re:Creators.’ Even when characters talk, I forget what they said. Nowadays, there are more romance anime than action. I miss the days when anime had the coolest action. Viewers are kamisama!

    AkariWatanabe1

  • This was a great year for anime as far as I am concerned, there was a lot of amazing hits, but also a lot of flops, but that's with every year, yeah? Let's keep watching anime for as long as we live.
