  • All the chosen ones were according to what I saw in the anime and I liked it ^^

    abnkira

  • Unfair the opening of Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria VS the 2nd opening of Oshi no Ko. 😭 I honestly LOVE both! Each one has its unique vibe. Unfortunately, I had to choose Oshi no Ko. 💔 But honestly, it was such a hard decision. Both deserve to be on the top.

  • It was a great year

    ADumbNut

  • Nah, I'd win.

    TkoPro

  • 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

  • ... Still waiting for my isekai moment to come.

    IzanaminoMikoto

  • Best Regards to everyone I love anime in general so Selecting singles when there were many good choices is abit sad but that said most of the Anime that Aired was a banger

  • 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.
