The international community here on MAL is close and amazing, whether you bond over the same anime or manga taste; I think we can all agree that MAL gives us all the opportunity to share our passions. Kampai to more beautiful years :) PS. Love & Strength to those who need it

There were so many great anime in 2021, it’s really hard to pick just one for each category! Can’t wait for another awesome year in anime 2022!

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!

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 ...

This past 2021 was a year! And I am pretty sure that 2022 is also a year, isn't it?

I'm not really picky about anime, neither can I watch anime non stop and on a roll like most hardcore fans do. Nevertheless I'm blessed to be a part of the community and i love anime and that's all is what matters to me. ^_^

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.

The laws of space and time dictate that in 24 hours you can only physically watch 60 episodes of anime. That didn't stop me from completing One Piece in 3 days.

Thank you MyAnimeList team for your hard work during 2021. Stay healthy and safe so that starting from 2022 you can be faster in approving a manga.

My choices are most likely not going to be acknowledged but hey, this Year was worth it.

IceTP100

If anything bothers you just take a anime shot and everything will not just be fine but infact will be GREAT! ........i don't understand why some people still don't get anime. But anyways, the great thing is we're being a part of a history making with aot finals~

Hope next year gets even better! Thanks to everyone for creating stuff like this and keeping MAL as the best community (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و

Anime was the most beautiful thing which I discovered in 2021.It truly changed my life in many different ways. Today I am able to think from a different point of view all thanks to the amazing characters. It made me laugh hysterically and at times it made me cry. Thankyou Anime.

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!

So much anime, so little time! I hope that MAL friends, staff, and I can always enjoy anime no matter how busy we are and thanks to all the staff from all the studios for your hard work, anime keeps getting better every year. Hope everything always goes well and is fun for us!

2021 Legendary Moments ^( '-' )^

Aoi_Etsuko

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!
