My Top Anime Watch of 2021

Hello fellow geeks! As I’ve done every year (except on the year I’ve been on hiatus), I’ve compiled here the list of top anime that I’ve watched in 2021. Looking back now, I’m not sure what the theme was for last year since I think I just basically watched them on the fly without much thought lol. Except ofcourse when I finally decided to create this list and finally followed a schedule, *wink.

Summary

Series – 50
Movies – 8
Live action – 1

TOTAL – 973

Compared to 2020, I’ve only watched really few anime last year so I am definitely changing that for this year, *wink.

So here’s my list of recommendations that you may be interested in trying and I’ve categorized them based on their demographics (or genre if demographics is not available). I hope you can find two or more shows that will become your favorite too.

Note 1: Those with bold style means they’re my favorites
