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.



























I enjoy watching Japanese cartoons.

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:

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.

Anime made me realize how much talent and creativity there is in this world.

This year 2021 was full of great surprises and good animes where you can take refuge and feel the serenity that they emanate, and experience unique sensations.

A good anime doesn't need to have beautiful animation. It can be the most average looking animation but an interesting idea.

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.
Barry_Allen_14
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.
