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.



























A good anime doesn't need to have beautiful animation. It can be the most average looking animation but an interesting idea.

#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).

Thank you everyone for a great year in the anime community

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

Just enjoy what ever anime you want, respect each other preference and the thing that you need to always remember when watching is never judge a book by its cover and never underestimate them. Also not to forger thank you MAL for being best anime database ever! ありがとうございます!!

Fiquei muito feliz em acompanhar esses novos animes e temporadas. O ano se foi, junto com varias lembranças fantásticas, Mas vamos aguardar por mais momentos como esse ano que passou.

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.

It saddens me that there are people out there who are oblivious to the joy that anime brings!!

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

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!

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

Since it's for 2021. All my actual votes go for Gintama movie 2021. 2022 will be sad year without Sorachi-sensei. :/

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 ''

I believed that Eastern animation could offer the pinnacle of direction, story-telling, and pure Sakuga art. I believed that it was misunderstood like A Silent Voice. Under-appreciated like Grave of the Fireflies. Then I watched Ex-Arm and now I don’t know what to think at all.
Paperphoenix1907
Cool year. Also, piano goes slurp.
ZeldaFreak69
Vivy, ODDTAXI, 86, Mushoku Tensei, Ranking of Kings, and Link Click all in the same year. This was by far the greatest year in anime history, with so many masterpiece shows. (also watch Shadows House, it was very underrated)

Over the past two years, the world has changed indescribably. But one thing that hasn't changed - the warmth, the creativity and the talent of our anime community. Thank you for everything!

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.

Great year for anime and manga in general!

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.
