My personal pick for AOTY was Vinland Saga, but not really surprising that Demon Slayer has a wider fanbase/appeal. Vinland Saga has an absolutely epic story & complex characters, but it’s rather bleak (not a “feel good” story). Also not many female characters, certainly none as cute/charming as Nezuko. I will say what little we learn about Thorfinn’s mother & sister portrays them as strong characters worthy of respect. Also Demon Slayer had more exposure via Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu & Toonami while Vinland Saga is Amazon Prime only. Vinland Saga is clearly the more grown up title (seinen) while Demon Slayer is textbook (though impressive) shonen. On a related note, very disappointed that Askeladd didn’t get Best Antagonist. He has to be one of the most complex characters in all of anime. While he’s quite willing to murder, torture, manipulate & betray to achieve his goals, he does have his own creed. And ultimately he is willing to make personal and painful sacrifices to further a goal that was in many ways altruistic. As far as Senkuu from Dr. Stone getting best protagonist, while I had a better opinion of him & the series by the end then I did early on, he’s definitely not my pick. Probably would’ve gone with Tanjiro from Demon Slayer & given Best Boy to Mob. I personally feel that Love is War was over-hyped. Similar to Senkuu, I don’t dislike the MCs as much as I did at first. But the primary appeal was Chika’s antics. Likewise, Promised Neverland was definitely intriguing, but more interested in finding out about the outside world instead of just the orphanage . The fact that MHA got shut out when it usually wins several categories seems to indicate I’m not the only who feels it’s in decline. Kinda surprised AOT not getting a mention though since a lot of the long standing mysteries finally got explained. Kinda disappointed Fruits Basket didn’t get recognized, even if it is a remake. Overall, I think most of the winners deserved recognition, but still too limited IMO.2 points

Hi there. We already have a ghost and a ghostly potato here, so it's great to have an alien as well A tour, let's see. Well, have a look at some of the current topics and share your thoughts on it. Otherwise open a thread of your own if you have an idea. Something I find helpful is the 'Unread Content' button on the top right where it shows new posts (and also the 'mark site as read' at the bottom right so you can remove all of the posts from showing in the unread content and it only shows new ones). What else? You get points for posting and opening topics which you can use for various things such as changing your member status etc. Also have a look at clubs, blogs and quizzes!1 point

Yeah, I dropped Dendrogram then gave it a 2nd chance. Then dropped it for good after the latest episode Since you’re liking Bofuri, you might enjoy Ascendence of a Bookworm (season 2 debuts in April). It takes a little time before things get really interesting though. While I’m enjoying Isekai Quartet S2, I am disappointed that Naofumi, Raphtalia & Filo’s involvement has been pretty minimal to this point.1 point

I noticed that Crunchy has done the same. I saw the Little Prince, the Wizard of Oz, and Swan Lake - among others - come up as "new" a while back. I'm pretty much the same, though I pay special attention to the science fiction ones (at least the ones that are good) because it is usually a lot easier to refer people to an anime than to explain in detail the science & engineering behind it. If I just start to lecture on one of "my" topics people tend to turn off. OTOH, if I can get them to watch the show then it makes it easier to engage in a discussion on the science and tech behind it. It has to be real science fiction for that kind of thing to work though.1 point

I'm about 20 episodes in and it's one of those things that I know is garbage but I like it anyway for some reason lol. I feel the same about RWBY, not that the two are similar.1 point
