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.

Being an anxiety patient I know I can't kick it out of life but Anime has helped me lot to get through it at every step. So I'm so grateful for anime to exist.

What a great year for anime. I enjoyed watching every seasonal anime this year. Some brought joy and some brought sadness. We all are blessed with these wonderful shows. I appreciate every single one of them.

MyAnimeList has a better Anime Awards section than Crunchyroll, unironically.

2021 was a very dry season for anime. 2022 is already looking good though, so here's to a great anime year in 2022!

Thank you 2021 anime. Some is good, some is bad, but I like anime in this year. My most favourite anime is Fruits Basket Final SS. This is one of memorable summary that I ever seen. I also reccommend Sonny Boy and Kageki Shoujo in this year. Sarasa and Honda, Tooru Best Girl 2021

This year is a pretty good year for anime. We've got some amazing new shows like Mushoku Tensei, Ousama Ranking, Odd Taxi & 86. But we also got some shit like Mid Hero season 6, Bronze End and Ex-Arm. This year was a fun rollercoaster and I'm hoping that 2022 will be even better.

That's absurd, the perfect plan that I hatched using the collected demonite to control the company from both the front and behind the scenes to become a winner NEET across worlds...! But no...This can't be right, this is no way to die!

All the released anime this year really came like a full course meal; light, heavy, sour, sweet and much more ( even bitter ).

Some characters are swords made to defend, and some shields made to attack. But when the time comes they can finally do what they were made for. Attack or defend.

Anyone has a choice/option to choose but that doesn't mean that you will pick any of them because they look good in our eye's or they have a advantage among all choices/options the one that we must choose was where our hearts will be happy.

Mushoku Tensei was the gold, crunchyroll prolly had the worst anime of the year awards this year but its not gonna stop me from loving Mushoku Tensei.
SuperiorAMVs
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 .

Crunchyroll anime awards is a joke, sorry but I had to say it.

Mushoku Tensei was one of the Best Anime out this Year period.

Komi-san the most overrated anime ever. Manga might be good but the anime just not it chief. Fight me. Ogiwara Sayu best girl! Horimiya and Higehiro best animes of 2021 hands down.
