Best Glow-Up: From Zero to Hero
Character who started at the bottom... now they’re here

Comments

  • My Days with My Stepsister' stands out with raw realism, evoking childhood's visceral pleasures (like loose-tooth gum-biting). The awkward character dynamics feel real, while diary-style narration adds intimacy. Even its monotonous moments captivate through pure authenticity.

  • Best year EVER for anime - and it can only get better from here as art and emotion continues to fight that good fight... OUR VICTORY IS INEVITABLE ✊✨

  • The world is full of selfish people, the only difference is; Some are like luffy, to protect ones near him will fight against the whole world; And some are like kaigaku, to protect himself will sacrifice the ones near him. Selfish can be kindness if you know how to make in one.

    Call_me_sdl

  • I cannot believe that I have been watching anime for 10 years yet it still feels new and exciting to me as when I first started. I hope that in the coming years people still remember the old gems that made us into who we are today.

    koyomi-senpai

  • 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.

    DarknessPoulet

  • 中指立ててけ!

    696hellsing

  • 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.

    DA_Garlic_GUY

  • what a year

    LucentTiara

  • Hope for the best and prepare for the worst

    Chaos_

  • Alya best girl

    ChaoticToby

  • A true ninja isn't measured by the battles they win, but by the strength to rise when their world crumbles. Even when no one believes in you, stand tall—because that's when you'll prove you never needed saving.

    MagicVIT

  • I wish with all the strength of my heart, soul and some part of my body that all of us have magnificent physical and mental health with 0 isekai in our lives.

  • This should've never happened

    NeKoVee

  • Ah, 2024 in anime... What a year, huh? It felt like the medium collectively decided to throw every possible emotional, visual, and existential curveball our way, just to remind us who's really in charge. This was the year where studios said, "What if we maxed out every slider?"

    Sobliv

  • Make more Anime TRIBUTES...!!!

    aazimgl

  • That year brought sadness (one piece hiatus) but also very interesting and cosy anime

  • Art comes in many forms. Some art may be more entertaining to others than it is to you but nevertheless deserves respect. Find art that entertains as well as inspires and cherish every bit of color.
