  • It's a little insane to me just how many good anime have come out this past year. Of course there have always been good ones, but there just seems to be a massive influx in the amount of shows that have hooked me on the first season that I am now waiting on for the second one.

    Flip_py

  • 2024 was a banger year with some peaks not seen in a while. Though, it did decline slowly as the seasons passed there was always that one show. 2025 has a lot to do to keep up the momentum of some shows though lets all have a wonderful year or anime moving forward!!!!!

    Sai_Hoshizora

  • The 2024 anime season was very important for me since I had 6 months of Spice & Wolf because it is my favorite anime of all time, I am 41 years old and it is the anime that I enjoy the most.

  • 2024 was a treasure trove of hidden gems, waiting to be discovered. Despite fewer members on MAL, they still managed to surprise at every turn. If the premise catches your interest, don’t hesitate, just start the anime and experience something special.
