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.



























The most memorable anime line: "tatakae. Tatakae. TATAKAE!" —Eren Yeager, friend and son

This year I hope the animes are just as good as last year's, and I hope I can continue to use Myanimelist. To keep track of each of them, they are the best, keep it up.

And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!
