When 2020 was so rattle, I didn’t want to make the Anmies of the Year election last year, but 2021. Oh, 2021. It’s a good thing I said it hasn’t been this full, such a great year since 2007.

Let me warn you: My choices are subjective and limited to the series I watch, so don’t be too. And I got the series from the beginning of the 2020 fall season to the end of the 2021 summer season, not including the fall season and movies that are currently underway.

Anm of the Year / Best Drama: Link Click

Here I have only evaluated new annaries, excluded series from the past, just so you know.

In 2021, the Japanese have rooted in quality, made amazing animes, but friends, ask your permission and I would like to paste this year’s Anime of the Year award into a Chinese anime! Link Click pretends to be a fun, pleasant anime with a time travel theme, but it downloads a sledgehammer in places like that. If you’re going to watch a single anime from this year. Don’t do that, watch 2 anime, one get Odd Taxi, one link click.

Anm of the Year: Odd Taxi
Drama: Fruits Basket, Attack on Titan, To Your Eternity, Wonder Egg Priority

Best Adventure / Best Story: Odd Taxi

He narrowly missed out on the Anm of the Year award. yes, yes, I’m talking about this ridiculous-looking an anim with an animal sparkler. I feel so sorry for those who are deluded by your appearance and ignore Odd Taxi. If Tarantino or Scorsese did anime, that’s what would happen, I’ll tell you that.

Adventure: Tokyo Revengers, To Your Eternity, Mushoku Tensei, Dr. Stone
Story: Link Click, Attack on Titan, Wonder Egg Priority

Best Comedy: Nagatoro-san

There wasn’t an Asobi Asobase, a Grand Blue comedy this year, but Nagatoro-san was playing well on the masochistic-romantic side that I thought existed more or less in all of us.

Comedy: Horimiya, Hamefura

Best Science Fiction / Best Animation: Vivy

The epic story of an android whose mind was sent back decades to prevent the destruction of mankind. AoT’s old studio also has the visuals and the action that makes it clear that it’s out of Wit’s hands. It didn’t go as well as it started, but these awards are still his right.

Sci-fi: Dr. Stone, Star Wars: Visions
Animation: Mushoku Tensei, Star Wars: Visions

Best Action: Jujutsu Kaisen

Shounen like Shounen! They’ve got gas action and music, they’ve got great characters, they’ve got some really bad ones. You want to know something? He deserves to be popular more than the Demon Slayer!

Action: My Hero Academia 5, Attack on Titan, Wonder Egg Priority, Haikyuu

Best Romance / Best Character Development: Fruits Basket

Whatever I say, he’s incompetent. I have always had a weakness for animes that care about the psychological development of characters and contain countless iconic moments, fruits basket is one of the most beautiful examples of the genre. Such a perfect series that works in such a human being comes every ten years. We said goodbye to him this year with his last season. It was a tough farewell.

Character Development: Tokyo Revengers, Those Snow White Notes, Mushoku Tensei, Odd Taxi

Best Directing: Tokyo Revengers

I made up a prize like this because I couldn’t let it go without a reward. It’s a gang war story with time travel sauce, but when you look at it, it presents its story, which doesn’t seem to matter much, with such musical use and stage management that you end up dead for the next episode. It’s incredibly immersive.
