  • It's been almost a decade since I truly discovered anime at age eleven. So much has happened since then, yet anime still remains as one of my greatest comforts and inspirations. It's been a great privilege to explore this great medium and all its nuances. Happy new year folks.

  • As a seasonal anime fan from 2020, i liked this year too. It was nothing sort of too hype but it was a good year though. We got 4 to 5 good shows in each seasons. Pretty fast, this year passed away. I didn't get time to watch many shows but the ones i watched were pretty good.

  • 2024 was a strong year for anime. We laughed, we cried, we got angry and we felt every emotions with our villains, protagonists and side characters. With 2024 in the history books we say goodbye to a strong year of anime and congratulate all winners. Here's to an even better 2025

  • I'm glad anime was invented—it has brought colors to my life and created countless opportunities for the creatives behind it. I've been a part of MAL community since 2010, and even now, anime continues to be my escape during my free time, consistently bringing colors to my world.

  • Looking back, I realized the moments worth recalling are nothing more than a slice of memento for someone who never lived them. That’s when I understood--life’s path isn’t about thriving for what isn’t meant to be but embracing what is.
