  • Nothing to say, I read an insane amount of manhwa the past year

    AvroSenpai

  • If I had a penny for every isekai anime of this year, I don't know how many would I have. But probably a lot.

  • "Show us how you rock! Bocchi the Rock!"

  • Love watching anime and reading manga the way you like all while accepting everybody’s preferences with no judgement or criticism.

    musicman31

  • Not as best as before

    Phiters_911

  • If you haven't eaten chicken curry while watching your anime at least once, you haven't experienced true joy yet.

    orangc

  • This is one of the best anime seasons that released internet breaking episodes

    Official_Vibe

  • To spread or not to spread the sauce is like blessing a random someones day or to rip their heart out. It's going to probably create a mess anyway, so why not spare yourself the hassle of creating the mess yourself.

  • Anime brings me happiness ❤️

    TheBlaze2002

  • Aura, love yourself

    BlueBullet178

    TeamEatsuki

  • JJK and MHA ended so Kagurabachi could rise

    Chainsaw_Derp

  • “You're just the king of a small island, and I'm gonna show you how big the world is.” and "Once humanity's wiped out, I'll breed more pandas." :)

    Kloick

  • gna watch more

    CR7ISMYGOAT

  • I have to say that with some of this it was a hard choice. Too bad we can't pick more then one.

    wkrpnvb

  • This was a crazy year with lots of crazy anime and manga, I discovered Solo levelling and fell in love with The Eminence in shadows, and I would like to give you a great quote from it: "Run, if you value your life. The frenzy has begun. The moon is red. We're out of time."

    Goldsoldier75

  • Thank you for all the anime this year, I love that every year more titles are coming every season and different genres too.

    Elvis-1125

  • Didn’t expect much from the past year but it really pulled through O7

    Luffuzaki

  • 2D > 3D

    YorForgersSlave

  • 2024 was pure chaos with Solo Leveling being one of the best adaptions plus so many wholesome animes being broadcasted. 😆

    Ricky16

  • Good year of anime

    KyRyMermaid

  • ようこそ２０２５！

    TuffmanTS

  • Still a Suguru Geto cultist 2025

    thrillsarecheap

  • For a year with less: Isekai, waifu-bait romcom SoL, power fantasy, reincarnation and idol anime. Then again, that could perhaps remove a majority of the entire year's catalogue; but case in point, overly saturated premises.

    Danpmss

  • 2024 is the year where I've read so many animes, looking forward to 2025!

    ItsAmsyar

  • 2024 has a lot of great anime can't wait for 2025.

    WonderBread1

  • ❤️

    GrandWizardGod

  • The voting choices were interesting. It was really nice to see Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete in a category. I rewatched it several times and laugh a lot at Hiiragi Utena's craziness lol.

    Vittttor

  • This year, anime wasn’t just a medium—it was an emotional rollercoaster we never wanted to get off. New worlds, bold ideas, and the return of iconic series—2024 reminded us why anime is limitless!

    Subxxxx1

  • We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

    LilAlexander

  • ur favorite anime is trash

    renealla

  • not enough dandadan in my veins atm

    schweinehund

  • You will never stay at rock bottom, if you bring a pick-axe.

    N41X

  • Dk, been too busy with high school exams this year and uni admission processes. Haven't watched much anime. I Just voted for the two Animes I know (Ao no Haku and Dandadan) (haven't watched them yet, I just read the Mangas)

    Ayonstudy

  • If this year was a color it would be slightly darker yellow (my opinion)

    Mxrtiz

  • Laughter is far more important to entertainment than relatability

    BenzTV

  • Creepy Nuts has helped me discover a new side of me. Never would I expect to listen to a song with creaking beds and pikmin and stack over 10 hours of Spotify time on them alone. I regret nothing and I look forward to their amazing music!

    Gabrieuz

  • This one's trash tastes knows no bounds, as this one shall sample watch every single Isekais in this whole world until this one finds the almighty golden one! This one shall also indulge in some romance comedy, in secret of course, since that would tarnish this one's reputation!

  • A great year of anime! My favorite Natsume Yuujinchou came back with its 7th season 7 years after its 6th and it was as amazing as ever! The other anime that took my heart this year was Bravern, it was very funny and had a ton of personality. I want more people to watch it!
