  • 2024 was the year of some high expectations that fell short and sleepers that rose in the ranks. And yet we watched and will continue because its who we are and what MAL is all about. Wishing everyone the best in 2025!

    Evilhunger

  • 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.

  • Quality seasons this year and can't wait for the ones next year!

    kmrosa26

  • 2024 was unforgettable for anime fans. We got sweetness-induced diabetes, laughed until it hurt, and raged with migraines. Every story taught us something, even if some manga endings weren't what we hoped for. It was a wild, fun journey we’ll cherish!

    tfiamnotaweeb

  • From the most cozy romance comedies to the intense heart racing action, and everything in between 2024 has been an incredible year for anime enjoyers across the globe. I was grateful to have the return of my favourite anime in a new season, Natsume Yuujinchou. Bring on 2025!
