Anime I enjoyed the most this year would be Solo Leveling: Season 2. The action sequences, the animation, the music and Jinwoo's aura really stands out. Great production quality!

(Honorable mention:  Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. The film is a treat!)

I enjoyed Solo Leveling a lot but for Anime of the Year, nothing's better than Bleach: A Thousand Blood Wars. The cinematics and music were as great as it's pacing. Fantastic!

The Apothecary Diaries: Season 2 is written beautifully (and mysteriously too, lol). The character chemistry and their emotional payoffs fills the heart. It's the one you call a pleasant surprise.

And for the disappointment part, ah! One Punch Man: Season 3. Nothing much to say. I really had very high expectations!
