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.

This world is cruel but I still love you. Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you. Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it. What is right is believing in myself strongly.

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.

One of the best years in anime!

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.

The year sucked but rocked. I watched anime till I drop. I think I'm dead but alive. I could become the definition of contradiction.
raychanliyue05
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!

Not many will appreciate the beauty of their surroundings like you do. Spend time with those that do. Mushoku Tensei, 2021 was a golden Isekai-era ---!

Tokyo Revengers was the best of the year

Last year was great for anime, lots of great shows, I can't wait to see what surprises are coming this year!
Felpzz
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!!
WakandaMan4Lif
WHAT A GREAT YEAR FOR NEW ANIME FANS AND SEASONED VETERANS!!! hope to see more like this in the future!!! :)
Aninoob1234
I must say that there are couple of good anime this year, but the most anime I liked this year are not in most of the selection. Which I understand, not everyone has the same taste. The best anime that I enjoyed in the year of 2021 is Horimiya because I read the manga which enjoy
PrimRose_20
First time doing this, but very hard to choose between these anime listed but I gone by what I think suit the best on those anime I have watch. Can’t wait for final outcome for these results outcome.

2022 will be very good anime year
Laaleet
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.

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 .
AnimeXenjoyer
Come on you have more than 100 anime in plan to watch when will that number become a 2 digit number before it becomes a 4 digit? Take a little time to relax and watch some anime ?
Shamir-kun
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.
Brottoy
Not the best year, but still enjoyable. Good luck for everyone

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!
