    Nobef

  • 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!

    mysteriee

  • I know very well that you're all tired of Dandadan -otonoke - OP, but I honestly can't get it out of my head, it plays at any time of the day (constantly). It's very outrageous that it's not on the list, but it still has the first prize in my heart and I hope all of yours do too

  • "One year, we will watch our last anime, but today is not that year."

    AmeKnite

  • They thought anime troupes and stuff had been overdone but this year proved yet again that an anime can still be entertaining no matter how much overdone troupe. This year, studio Doga Kobo came out with the best animation anime has to offer with Oshi no ko and Roshidere.

    VanilleEngel

  • Girls Band Cry was the best!

    Enceladus27

  • 2024 made me felt I aged 1/2 centuries in just a year. The reason is I graduated from high school and currently living my college year, I honestly felt I can't enjoy anime like I used to because it felt heavy, but at the end of the day anime lets me be a high school kid again.

  • 2024 was a year of all time.

    Optumus

  • I just knew about Hibike! Euphonium, Yuru Camp, Roshidere, Oshi no Ko, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, DanDaDan, and Ranma Hanbun (1/2). That's my following anime ever in 2024. P.S. That year is too much anime aired. Always 50+ anime per seasons. Half of them, that's Isekai theme.

    zamanitasyk

  • Still love KAMAKURA STYLE

    Sparklelovesyaa

    twilight10_x

  • I entered 2024 as a penniless otaku, and left 2024 still as a penniless otaku. But hot damn what a time to be alive to see these great animes airing one after another.

    KrakenSTeiN

  • Ninja Kamui deserved better.

    Osoweeb

  • I may not have been hit by Truck-kun yet, but I'm ready to embark on a whole new year's worth of other-worldly adventures!

    mukundv

  • Anime this year was exceptional as we had many new anime with hit ideas take the scene along with new anime that blew audiences away with stellar story telling, characters or animation. We had many amazing remakes and remarkable anime’s cons back for a season 2. Truly amazing.
