  • Here we go, one more year! Or one year less, some people say… to the Apocalypse. Sequel year? Yeah. Oshi no Ko, Re:Zero, Tate no Yuusha, Yuru Camp, good stuff, but felt like a continuation year all along. 2023 was better imho, but 2024 was solid AF. Happy and anime-full 2025!

    GaOMn03

  • 2024 I didn't really watch a lot of anime this year so it's a bit hard to vote, I focused on other stuff though the year, but I hope I'll have enough free time to watch this year especially with the huge series coming out. Try and enjoy watching Anime when you have free time.
