  • Pride will cause you everything, and leaves you with nothing.

  • My expectations of anime from 2024 surprised me and it was a lot of fun. I hope that 2025 onwards will be the same. Every day of the anime was a different emotion (laughing, screaming, anger, sadness, disgust, anxiety and so on...). May there be more in 2025.

  • Anime is more than a form of entertainment; it is an intricate tapestry of art, emotion, and philosophy. It captures the essence of human experience in ways that transcend cultural boundaries, speaking to the universal truths that bind us all.

  • The world is not a mirror but a canvas. Every choice you make, every fear you conquer, paints the story of who you are meant to become. And in this vast tapestry, even the smallest brushstroke can reshape the skies.

  • 2024 brings a variety of amazing anime! BokuYaba S2 warms the heart, Girls Band Cry captivates with its musical drama, and Ao no Hako touches with its romance and struggles. Adaptations & new seasons spoil fans. Slice of life & romance shine brightly, a must-watch!

  • For Karaoke Ultra-Hard Mode, my vote goes to: "Another World" - Isekai Suicide Squad OP I've tried to sing it many times but always failed! I just find the part she hits those really high notes impossible to get right. If someone manages to sing it, please tell me how you did it.

  • If your favorite didn’t win, don’t worry—just like any good shounen protagonist, there’s always next season! Voting in MAL Yearbook was the closest thing to being in an anime tournament arc. Except instead of fighting for glory, we were battling over which OP slapped the hardest.
