  • A great year of many wonderful animes. A wonderful roller coaster of different genres and new concepts. A memorable year for all anime fans worldwide ✌️

  • "We are all mad here" Cheshire Cat

    STURRAMAK

  • Oshi no ko is goated

    Cabriti

  • Good thing Arcane isn't considered an "anime", because, if it was, FMA fans would try to review-bomb it out of the #1 spot.

    Malone9807

  • In short, this year was simply... an anime.

    Tokito-San

  • You know It's a good year when It has re:zero on it.

    adsfmurf

  • Great year...!! Ready for new one.

    CrimsonKylar

  • This is just the beginning!

    Chukotka

  • 2024 was a year that rewrote standards for anime. Be it through their storytelling or animation style and quality, every season had several shows that dared to dream to be Anime of the Year. Banger OSTs, banger fights, and banger characters; 2024 will be remembered.

    Railtracks

  • I am very glad this group really knows how to be flexible with their approach in nominating many shows that may not have been as popular than possible. Loving the diversity very much on this art.

    Journeyman15

  • I absolutely shouldn’t have a say in most of these because I know nothing about most of the new anime but mashing magic and muscles should win best op and ed

    Inthim

  • its been one heck of a year

    SxpremeCrxwxn

  • I wish I could be "trained to death by a S Rank team - and become immortal"

    LFChocair

  • 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.

    gorkthe134th

  • We've laughed, we've cried, what another fantastic year for anime!

    ikkew

    Thestateofdk

  • Farcille forever

    DekuBlast

  • Manga is better!

    MrManfredi

  • It was a good year

    nelcalb

  • In 2024 we had anime about heliocentrism, mutual toxic relationship, some guy losing his balls, a half-human half-deer, cooking dishes with monsters and whatever Uzumaki was. Sounds anime"ish" enough for me.

    PokefanPT

  • We*re wallahi

    Crowms

  • This year has been intense, we had the comeback of Dragon Ball with a new whole story, lessons about how to cosplay with Ririsa, the loss of a man's most important thing with Dandadan (you know what I mean) and tons of action with Solo leveling, Kaijuu Nº8, etc. WHAT A YEAR! :D

    Nolanleaf

  • nokotan robbed

    Pyrakms02

  • If this year has taught me anything, it's that misery loves company. The perfect companion when you're miserable is a decent anime to take your mind off of what's bothering you...

    LordKylington

  • Man, I Love Fauna

    OttoVonErizus

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