Ooh, though question. I only really started watching seasonal anime in 2010. Prior to that, I’d just have a set thing I watched and that was it. Like, I’d firstly get introduced to an anime, I’d like it, and I’d watch it, but I never really explored to see what else was airing. But that changed when I took my gap year in 2010, and began to really delve deep into what was beyond the horizon, so I suppose I’ll go back as far as 2010. In which case…

As for 2017?
Well, I’m hoping that Attack on Titan lives up to expectations after the 4 year wait, and also that the new series of Code Geass will at least begin airing this year, but I highly doubt that’ll happen. Yet, one can always hope ^_^
"Of course, it’s easy to trust God when the bush is burning, the waters are parting, and the mountains are shaking— it’s those silent years that are discouraging. But blessed is the person who does not interpret the silence of God as the indifference of God!"
