Happy New Year from The Otaku’s Study! May 2024 Be a Good One!

Here we are, at the end of 2023

Looking back upon reflection

It has been a year of many ups, but also some downs

A year that as explorers of the labyrinth of fandom

We discovered many gems, but also forgettable rocks

A year that sadly saw many studios downsize or shutter their doors entirely

And also one that saw a few newcomers and veterans like rise to the occasion.

Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me in 2023

and I hope you will continue joining me as we jump over into 2024

Here’s to a fantastic 2024 – may it be a year filled with joy, discovery, and unparalleled experiences!
