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.



























One of the best years in anime!

2021 was a great year in anime, if not in much else (thanks pandemic). Many strong releases with diverse and wonderful shows, perfectly suited for entertaining us while we were staying at home :)

I'm just grateful for all the animes, mangas, songs and to everyone making all these incredible and amazing piece of art. In 2021, we all were recovering from something in one way or another and anime played a big part in healing.To everyone making this possible, Minna Arigatou!

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 ---!

Watching anime is a lot of fun. But what's more fun is to be able to share our anime discussions & cute anime screenshots moment together with my myanimelist friend & DIscord friend. My enjoyment for cute anime will never end!

To Your Eternity was the saddest anime this year. Shaking and crying rn.

Remember that time when you almost got eaten by a giant spider or that other time you stepped on a magical portal and the whole class got teleported to another world? Fun times. Keep in touch...NOT! Class of 2021-We don't suck. Byeee!

What a banger year
Alecks
The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

10 years ago, it started with Naruto. 10 years later, I met One Piece. Once again, I fell in love with you again, Anime

Now looking back it was a great year for anime we got some very great tropes like that of an anime with just wholesomeness and normal life mixed with fantasy element without any action or drama in it and there were other great original stories like that of odd taxi and link click

Baji (From Tokyo Revengers) is a real one.

I have learned absolutely nothing this year, but I will not lie, it was a fun one. Watching anime has definitely been my favorite time waster. If this gets put in the year book, just know, to anyone reading this- There was no mistake when we discovered anime.

This year I enjoyed Tokyo Revengers the most. I must say, at first I thought the anime was amazing until I read the manga - and absolutely fell in love with the story and characters! Thank you MAL for recommending TR to me! c:

This year's anime have been hype! From action anime like Attack on Titan to romance like Horimiya or sport animes like Sk8 and isekai like Mushouku Tensei. Even the chill comedic anime like Dragon Maid S or Jahy Sama. All of them make me sit at the edge of my seat! Thank You!

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.
