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.



























Tokyo revengers was the best this year in my opinion

Sometimes reality can be annoying but if I can escape to another world I would do so, That's why anime exist.

Anime has been a nice way out of real life for me the past couple of years. It brings so much emotion where nothing else could!

When somebody ask me ''why is Fairy Tail your favorite anime" i only have one answer ''because it makes me forget that i don't have anybody who wants to real be with me. And Fairy Tail is about friendship and i want what they have ''

And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!

2021 year war a very successful year for anime industry though I've not been able to watch all the great animes this in 2021, I'm looking forward to the next year's content and I'm really hyped for Bleach TYBW.

Don't be sad that a show that has ended, be happy of the journey you have experienced watching it.

Having happy and beautiful memories won’t always bring you salvation. The more beautiful a memory is, the more painful it can become.

Most of the anime that aired on 2021 are incredible boring but few are memorable . This is a good year for some legendary series. I have lot's of expectation anime that gonna airing on 2022 .

Thanks to MAL staff and fellow MAL users for making 2021 great! May your futures be as bright as your anime-watching rooms should be. May your hearts be as warm as the fabled MAL hoodie might be. May season 2022 of our era be as wonderful as we'd like it to be!

The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and the future makes you depressed out of anxiety, so by elimination present is likely the happiest time.

#2021 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).
Ironaditya
amazing year
XarkezPL
It's been one hell of a year, though I can't really remember what happend since my memory sucks. It seems like sequels and isekai are the most prominent anime this year, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a sucker for fantasy anime. I just hope 2022 will be an even better year.

Don't wish for it. Work for it.

In 2021, we learned from anime that adulthood sucks, dragons must also pay their taxes like good citizens, being undead does not have to stop you from being a good parent, former yakuza make great homemakers, and to never forget the tale of the Heike. A splendid year indeed!

I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous, I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it. And I made good memories for myself. I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

For anyone out there struggling to finish your watch list because you keep adding even more anime to your list... Same.

I think this year has been an amazing year for anime. It's been a long while since we've had a year where everyone can find something to watch, where every season has something that someone might be into. I'm really excited to see where we can go from here!
strydderXD
2021 was a year to behold for anime. The animators put their heart into their work like Vivy did with her singing. Give these overworked heroes a round of applause!

Jobless Reincarnation best anime of the year.
