What's your favorite anime of the year? There have been soooooo many, but I think my favorite watch was Takopi's Original Sin. It was only six episodes, but I think that makes it even more appealing. It packs so much into its self-contained story and didn't hold back.

I don't watch a ton of TV, but I did get back into anime this year. I think The Apothecary Diaries is probably my top watch for the year. Maomao is such a great protagonist, and I can't wait for the next season. I'm so impatient, I've started reading the light novels just to get more of that world lol. Also enjoyed Frieren, which I watched with my husband.

A tie between To Be Hero and The Summer Hikaru Died.

Any chance I get to push To Be Hero X, I will.

The Summer Hikaru Died is another great choice!
