This year was a great one in term of new animes but some adaptations showed us that even the greatest manga can turn to the worst anime if it's not produced with love and hard work.

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.

The anime “Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite” was my surprise of the season, I didn't know the author's works and through the anime, I wanted to know everything about what the author has already published, the narrative and the story itself is very rich.

The one I go to when I feel weak,
My strong refuge, so to speak,
It is the anime so mystique.

2024 was another great year for anime, let's see how much better it can get for us anime fans in 2025!

2024 marked by many trends, with dan da dan at maximum hype, with Girls Band Cry as the best anime of 2024 and the best musical anime, interesting stories, and much to see. See you in 2025.

Some of the best isekai were released last year, so I hope that more will release this year. The best of which of course being "Kono subarashii sekai in shukufuku o!"
