Anime has been both good and bad since it first started getting made. As I look back on my anime-watching this year, I find this a helpful axiom to recall, along with its associated evidence. That said, it is probably equally true that the particular ways in which anime has been both good and bad over the years have changed.
Has it really been almost a year since my last post on the blog? How time flies! At least this year it didn’t take me until February to do my yearly recap. Every year I say, “I’m going to do more blog posts this year,” and while I didn’t do that in 2024, the silver lining is that I did write a book! A light novel (sort of) to be exact. Forgive me if I make a promise to write a blog post about that experience, as we all know how blog post promises go…
Anyways. Anime! I really liked that the 2023 edition of this post ranked everything I watched (from this year and not), so we’re bringing back the format for 2024. Hope you enjoy!
