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.



























Another wonderful year of anime

Sometimes reality can be annoying but if I can escape to another world I would do so, That's why anime exist.

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!

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 is so much better than crunchyroll awards where the judges are the ones whose votes really matter. Loving all the events MAL has been doing recently and can't wait to see MAL grow even more. (thanks for the badges, keep giving us more~)

Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… No matter how pathetic the reason, it’s enough to start war. War will never cease to exist… reasons can be thought up after the fact… Human nature pursues strife

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!

When there is nothing in life, when you feel down and you feel like there is nothing you can do, you can always turn to anime to make you feel high in life and then sad, then happy again, and then sad again...I don't know, watch anime I guess.
TheBlazman
Anime is my way to escape from this harsh reality.

2021 was an amazing year for anime and be remembered for decades to come.

Covid hit us hard, but it gave us more time to watch anime so it wasn’t that bad.

The world isn't perfect. But it's there for us, doing the best it can....that's what makes it so damn beautiful.

Banger year for Anime!
FoxyVee
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
Great year for anime! P.S. What does O(ver)P(owered) Direction even mean?

Thank you 2021 anime. Some is good, some is bad, but I like anime in this year. My most favourite anime is Fruits Basket Final SS. This is one of memorable summary that I ever seen. I also reccommend Sonny Boy and Kageki Shoujo in this year. Sarasa and Honda, Tooru Best Girl 2021

Anime brought me back to life
Revaxiph
I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous, I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it. And I made good memories for myself. I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

I'm still a newbie in the anime community. 2021 really make me like to watch anime.

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.
