    LegomanCA

  • Anime is such a amazing thing that can boil your blood due to anticipation, gain knowledge about story's upon story's without even reading a story book, learn to Imaginate out of the box, kill time and escape from boredom which this world has to offer. Truly Anime is Magnificent!

  • 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!

    Netquk

  • Even when you think you've watched a lot of simulcast anime in a year, MAL and the anime community will pull the rug from under you. Also, The Elusive Samurai and Dandadan were the best new anime of the year.

    Cayusashi

  • Frieren best anime to touch this earth.

    juan_exandro

  • this year (2024) was really great for anime lover like me so many great anime got released well i watched rom-com the most like alya sometimes hides her feeling in Russian, giji harem, 2.5D seductions, etc hope next year will be even great than this year

  • Eren did nothing wrong.

    Domozar

  • shikanokonokonoko koshi tan tan, popin2

    istlae

  • My Days with My Stepsister' stands out with raw realism, evoking childhood's visceral pleasures (like loose-tooth gum-biting). The awkward character dynamics feel real, while diary-style narration adds intimacy. Even its monotonous moments captivate through pure authenticity.

    Shadow_Kurgansk

  • The low taper fade meme is still massive

    SkullKeeper08

  • Not as best as before

  • BLUELOCK THE BEST

    ishiglen

  • Unfair the opening of Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria VS the 2nd opening of Oshi no Ko. 😭 I honestly LOVE both! Each one has its unique vibe. Unfortunately, I had to choose Oshi no Ko. 💔 But honestly, it was such a hard decision. Both deserve to be on the top.

    JeffEG

  • 2024 gave us some of the most memorable anime and music in years, can't wait to see what next year has to offer 😊

    adamantite_

  • 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.
