My Anime Year in Review: 2025

It's been a good year since I first posted here, looking for suggestions after I finished Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso.
Now, I'm mostly reading (Light) Novels/Manga mostly, but would like to thank y'all for introducing me to a whole new world out there.

So, I would like to share some of the ones I watched in no particular order, since I don't have any preference (don't know if this is the best place to share, so forgive me if I have made any mistake).

MASTERPIECE (Absolute best, would rewatch anytime):

1. VINLAND SAGA
2. Sonny Boy
3. Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite
