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.

I have learned that, if you ever read a summary for an anime and think 'Might be good/ maybe, but I do not know if it is for me' ... WATCH AT LEAST 3 EPISODES OF IT! I have found that some of my new favorites by following this guide line.

Never force main stream anime on the your friends. Let them watch whatever they want on their pace.

2021 might have been the most hectic year but in my opinion was the best year for me bcz of all the anime releases with genres ranging from Romance(kome san) to Tragedy(AOT), isekai, horror(Mieruko-chan) and much more.

I thank the organizers of the poll for unusual categories, as well as fo interesting nominees (and not just top popularity). Its good that even this year anime continues delight us with interesting works, although theres an opinion that the industry is experiencing its stagnation

The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

Filled with disasters from Covid to Ex-Arm, 2021 has come to an end :). Although filled with some nasty flops and disasters the "Face" of Bojji, "Mehness" of Odokawa, "Animation" of Mushoku Tensei (and KnY) and much more has lifted up 2021 to another great year for anime :)

I've personally haven't watched much of this year's animes but still it is propably best year of anime ever!
