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.



























"We think heroes exist only in story books, we don't realize how easy it really is to be a true hero. It can be something as complex as saving a life, or something as simple as being there for someone in their time of need. Never quit."

So much time, so little effectively used time.

This year's anime have been hype! From action anime like Attack on Titan to romance like Horimiya or sport animes like Sk8 and isekai like Mushouku Tensei. Even the chill comedic anime like Dragon Maid S or Jahy Sama. All of them make me sit at the edge of my seat! Thank You!

Mushoku Tensei was one of the Best Anime out this Year period.

"Draken te amo" - Draken, Tokyo Revengers Anime popped off in 2021, and so did MAL! I'm glad I get to share my interest with everyone on this site!

If I'd get a dollar for each unnecessary panty shot in Mierko-chan, I'd be a millionaire.

at first, I was scared to become an anime fan. I didn't want to be called "uwu anime sussy baka". ... this year I've completed my 100th series and discovered more about myself > because of Japanese animations of course

Anyone has a choice/option to choose but that doesn't mean that you will pick any of them because they look good in our eye's or they have a advantage among all choices/options the one that we must choose was where our hearts will be happy.

I have watched too much isekai. No shame

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.

2021 might have been the most hectic year but in my opinion was the best year for me bcz of all the anime releases with genres ranging from Romance(kome san) to Tragedy(AOT), isekai, horror(Mieruko-chan) and much more.

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.

Please watch Vivy if you haven't yet, I'm begging you

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

My anime list gets bigger every year.

This year has been amazing and packed but my favourite anime of this year was "Tokyo Revengers", The theme of changing the present by going into the past and the fact that all this was done by a delinquent is just fascinating and Baji's passing made it better and more tragic.

Anime and chicken nuggies at 3am is the bomb

EX-ARM is a masterpiece,Dogeza de Tanondemita is the most wholesome show of the season and the most consistent show is undoubtedly " B :The Beginning Succession Jokes aside this years was better than the last one(at least in terms of anime ) best shows were SNK and BLUE PERIOD

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!!

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.

Without anime my life would be boring

Don't be sad that a show that has ended, be happy of the journey you have experienced watching it.

The year sucked but rocked. I watched anime till I drop. I think I'm dead but alive. I could become the definition of contradiction.
