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.

2021's Year of Anime is very much akin to 2021 as a whole. It gave us moments of joy, of excitement and sometimes even moved us to tears! But most notably it had a lot of garbage that you could only really laugh about.

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 :)

This was a good year.

So much anime, so little time! I hope that MAL friends, staff, and I can always enjoy anime no matter how busy we are and thanks to all the staff from all the studios for your hard work, anime keeps getting better every year. Hope everything always goes well and is fun for us!

Anime was the most beautiful thing which I discovered in 2021.It truly changed my life in many different ways. Today I am able to think from a different point of view all thanks to the amazing characters. It made me laugh hysterically and at times it made me cry. Thankyou Anime.

I don't know which flopped harder: 2021, or The Promised Neverland Season 2 (that OP was pretty good though)!

A very important quote to me is: “An important thing to remember is, just because a person has problems communicating, doesn't mean that person doesn't want to communicate with others,” hearing this at the onset of each episode made me feel very happy!

2021, another chapter completed! ? If there's one thing we Anime fans can all agree on; it's the fact that 2021 was one of the best years in the History of the animanga industry. True, the world has never understood our "taste~", but now more than ever can we be proud! To 2022!

2021 was my first year with MAL. And all these great anime made it so much more memorable. I hope all other years are as great as this. Also best romance show of this year were horimiya and tonikawa.

I hope in the future have anime from my country Malaysia.

This is so much better than crunchyroll awards where the judges are the ones whose votes really matter. Loving all the events MAL has been doing recently and can't wait to see MAL grow even more. (thanks for the badges, keep giving us more~)
