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.



























So many anime in 2021! There's no stopping you from trying them out.

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!

There is no greater happiness and peace than sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and watching this year's anime with your loved ones, creating memes, even crying sometimes but also admiring, learning and being enchanted ...

#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).

at first, I was scared to become an anime fan. I didn't want to be called "uwu anime sussy baka". ... this year I've completed my 100th series and discovered more about myself > because of Japanese animations of course

This year not only gave me fantastic shows to view but it also gave me an addiction to seasonals. I'm still trying to figure out if that was a good thing.

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've watched many anime in my life, many good, many bad. Many that were wrong to the source, and some that out shined the source. From the years of struggling to find anime, to now it is everywhere. I am glad ^w^.

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!!

The more you watch, the more you learn!!! This quote literally describes what feelings I have with anime. It helped me through tough times and I'll always be ready to touch new horizons with it.

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.
