What is the MAL Yearbook?
MAL Yearbook is a new annual project where MyAnimeList members can reflect on the past year of anime and share what they enjoyed most. Using categories selected from the community and winners decided by you, we will create a special digital MAL Yearbook that we can enjoy in future years. Leave us your 2021 yearbook comment and vote for the nominations you think best fit those category titles.



























this year I watch a lot of Anime and I really enjoyed and the next year new anime released and i will watch and hope watch many animes

2021 for anime was like a lottery. You either got a great season with banger animes and another season where you were empty-handed.

Vivy, ODDTAXI, 86, Mushoku Tensei, Ranking of Kings, and Link Click all in the same year. This was by far the greatest year in anime history, with so many masterpiece shows. (also watch Shadows House, it was very underrated)

Opera Girl (Kageki Shoujo) is supremely underrated! Which is kind of ironic for how tall it is!

Back in September of this year I started getting into anime, starting with MHA, (which I still have a soft spot for btw) and the most recent anime I've watched was Bleach. At the beginning of this year I decided to take a break from anime, but Akira is next. Keep watching anime!

I really appreciate the idea of putting up a lot of the obscure shows that came out in the categories unlike most of the anime based award shows held recently, it really goes to show that the nominees were being selected based on the genuine enjoyment they offered and that's it.

Ex-Arm’s animation was ahead of it’s time fr it was just too advanced for us to understand

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.
RiverChan
I have learned absolutely nothing this year, but I will not lie, it was a fun one. Watching anime has definitely been my favorite time waster. If this gets put in the year book, just know, to anyone reading this- There was no mistake when we discovered anime.

Not many will appreciate the beauty of their surroundings like you do. Spend time with those that do. Mushoku Tensei, 2021 was a golden Isekai-era ---!

Covid hit us hard, but it gave us more time to watch anime so it wasn’t that bad.

Mushoku Tensei was the best!!!

This year was an overall good year with lots of amazing anime! Looking forward to the next.
