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.

There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone. Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone. And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

Watching anime is getting easier, especially in my region, there are many official/legal platforms that provide anime, hopefully in the future anime information sources will be more interactive and available in many languages.

2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

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.

Anime is an integral part of my life, it's like I'm addicted to it and it is what keeps me sane these days. I can't go even a day without watching at least 1 ep of an anime. You could say that anime has saved me and it is saving many more people every day. I'm thankful to Japan.

2021 was the year I got into anime and I'm glad I became an anime fan at the perfect year where there were a lot of banger shows each season. It feels really good to be an anime fan and I will be looking forward to what 2022 has in store for us.

With so many anime that, instead of pandering to trendy stuff, were more like passion projects, 2021 made me feel "Anime is getting good again". Oddtaxi, Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi, Sonny Boy and Heike Monogatari made the year much more enjoyable.
