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.

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!!

I was wondering why there's no single nomination for Love Live! Superstar!! and then I realize. That Liella! is always in my heart.

2021 was a year to behold for anime. The animators put their heart into their work like Vivy did with her singing. Give these overworked heroes a round of applause!

The last year was fun! I somehow managed to watch 6 anime in 4 days... Well! My favorite anime of 2021 is definitely Durarara. I hope this year brings a lot of good anime as well!

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.

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.
